Need some input. Just bought a new .177 Diana 250 from Airgun Depot for my son. Pitched the scope, tightened all bolts, and put on my Sightmark Wraith that I had on another rifle. I think I have put 150 shots into the target at 25 yards and can't get any consistency. Thought the scope was acting up, so I put the Wraith on my HW 97. Never had it on that but took 3 shots to zero like it usually takes to zero. Went back to the 250 and tried again with the Wraith. Felt like I was chasing cats with it hitting everywhere but where I aimed. Will try cleaning the barrel and check with my Arken this weekend. Or, is it just the rifle? Any advice is appreciated, thanks.

When I first got into this sport I started off with a daisy 880 bone stock and it was used on rats. Later on I got the idea to hunt with airguns and moded my 880 to shoot harder and faster to the point I could take out squirrels to 30 yards reliably and had taken rabbits too. I later got the p-rod and disco and never looked back at pumpers for hunting although I still love them. I realized that with a pumper I would be more precise as I only had one shot or pump it and when the pcp came into the picture shot placement was still vital however the confidence in multiple shots available reduced my accuracy at times. I've considered taking one of my highly modded pumpers and taking it hunting this coming season for the thrill but still ethical kills. I'm talking 17ftlb .177 pumper, 20ftlb .22 pumper, or .25 pumper (no fpe data yet since mods). How many people here have, or still hunt with their pumpers? What has been your success rate and what are you using?

Congratulations to Al Duster for shooting a new record aggregate of 740-29x.

Well done AL.

Not looking for quick, flippant answer. This is 2 fold question. First, quietest report, ldc or not, and not having that “ping” under your ear. Now, I’m thinking the taipan slash will meet those standards, but , what else is there? RAW ? I’ve had an Evol, any others? Vulcan 3 - great gun, but noisy. I await your responses, thanks all!

Firstly, thank you Maxtrouble for gifting me a Hw30 stock. Now I have a stock that I can "fix" the comb on.

My favoite Hw30 is my first. It's a 2015 with the most boring plane jane beech stock Weihrauch has probably ever graced a Hw30 with. This rifle is my all time favorite. I have no idea how many tens of thousands of shots been through it. In all that time i never noticed the stock as uncomfortable with the peeps. Recently the weather had been lousy and when it wasn't I was busy with other rifles. All scoped. A couple weeks ago I broke out my "Baby" BB gun and noticed that I needed to tilt my head to line up the sights and it wasn't as comfortable as the scoped guns.

I've run into Weihrauch combs that were too high for irons before. My Hw95 luxus and the 77K I briefly owned were both impossible for me to use with irons. I'm not sure why Weihrauch has put scope height combs on guns with irons. I think it's terrible.

This Hw30 normally gets more use than everything else so I want it to fit me well. Sentimental value prevented me from butuchering the original stock. Today I mowed the cheek piece and comb down on my gifted stock. Now it fits me great and I can't wait to use it more. It's hard to believe I've had it for so long and it never bothered me before. Idk, maybe because of recent weight loss my face has less cushion on it
That's it. And thank you again @maxtrouble.


Be well,
Ron

1. Start from low reg and valve open fully, full hammer, find the target velocity by increasing reg pressure, close valve until speed drops. DONE
2. Start 150bar on reg, macro down to target speed, close valve until speed drops. DONE

GO!

My laser range finder Zulus 520R is off by exactly 10 yards at 100 verified.
Measures all distances 10 yards too long IE: 96 Y shows 106 Y
Anyone know a quick fix?

Thoughts on these ? Alot of guns don't like em ,why??are they the better pellet for hunting?and why did they stop at a low caliber I've heard the legends of the predator polymag 50 cal lol.

I own a RTI P3 performance, which is an amazing gun, incredibly easy to tune & accurate, so when all the hype about the Mora first started I already knew that was going to be my next purchase, a 700mm in .25 calibre.
The first Mora I received had a badly etched serial number, so I couldn't put it on my firearms certificate, back that went & then I had a very long wait to receive another one.
My new gun finally arrived on the 14th of February & was the new version with the pneumatic hammer system, I brought a series of slugs, ZAN 45grn, Zan 41grn, H&N 36grn, H&N 46grn & others. I was favouring the ZAN 45grn knowing that many of the YouTube guys & airgun forum members were having amazing success in their .25 700mm Mora's.

After a barrel clean I sat down at my bench to start zeroing & tuning, with an FX Ballistic chrono, no matter what I did, including following advice from many other shooters, the owners manual, etc & trying in vain to reach out to RTI themselves. I Could not get the gun to group. So I decided to borescope the barrel, the crown appeared very shallow & not what I would of expected from a LW barrel, also the rifling was badly cut & uneven.

So back to the distributors, Highland Outdoors & credit to them, they agreed with me on the barrel & swapped it out for a new one. I now have the gun back, accuracy is slightly better, but when I say slightly I mean golf ball sized groups at 50 yards, compared to tennis ball sized groups with the previous barrel. Also velocity was inconsistent, no matter what reg setting or valve setting.

So off I go to try to find & resolve the issue, things I tried include.

The obvious, multiple reg settings & valve settings.
Adjusted seating depth/head space.
Swapped optics.
Replaced slug probe oring.
Checked transfer port alignment.
Checked optics rail.
Re-indexed the barrel.
Borescoped barrel (crown is still shallow, but rifling is ok)
Used the bore scope to check for internal baffle strikes.
Weighed & sotted the slugs.
Checked over by my gunsmith (50 years of experience.
Got two others to shoot the gun.
Put the gun in a lead sled.

Believe me whatever your going to suggest ive tried it already

I fitted a digital gauge to the reg, to see if it was fluctuating (hard to tell sometimes with an analogue gauge), but its pretty consistent, although im having to run my reg at 170 bar, compared to others running 150bar to get the same velocity these guys were shooting the ZAN 45grn at 990/995fps.

My valve adjustment can be full closed or full open & anywhere between it has zero effect on speed, consistency, accuracy, etc, etc.

And believe me it's shot over a thousand slugs though it testing different combinations. And im no idiot when it comes to airgun tuning.

I did purchase this gun with the idea of getting into benchrest, but I have to say im very disappointed & disheartened with the gun & the whole experience. It pains me to write a negative piece on this, especially considering the huge success everyone else seems to be having. I guess I just got that one bad gun. I'm hoping RTI Arms / Rok may see this so the £2300 I've paid wasn't in vain & they step up as a reputable company & get this gun replaced.

I have an Anschutz 2002 for sale, excellent condition, no issues. Just getting out of competition shooting. $1400 plus shipping, I take Venmo. Thanks for looking.

Yes, you can go whole hog… Or you can simply attach a red or green light, to the accurate rig of your choice and have at it. The majority of rats, will never know the difference. You will eventually “evolve” your setup, or not. Because if it works? Why spend more? For me the major downside to green or red lights on my PCPs has been. Alerting humans to my presence, pesting in my home range at night? An Arken Zulus, neighbors non the wiser. Pesting at a dairy, chicken farm, etc.? A red/green light combo on an accurate airgun will kill many, many rodents.

I currently own Zulus 3-12X and 5-20X. They are great for medium and long range but not good for short range. Ideally, 1-4X will be good for scanning and short range shooting. Has anyone tried swapping 3X lens with 1X lens?

OK Guys and Gals

This for you smarter Math types here, (yes, there is several here ),

Can you help me figure this information out, KEEP IT SIMPLE, Please,
I am NO MATH Major, just a student from the school of Hard Knocks ..LoL

Is there a better/simpler way to figure these cone degree angles out?

I need this information, so I can make skirt pins for sizing/uni-forming pellets in the 4 pellet press's, in these 4 calibers, 17, 20, 22, 25 calibers to fit my rifles/pistols, etc.

You have this information from pellet measurements, to figure the missing/needed info out. All these measurements are as accurate as possible, when measuring.
20 caliber,
Weight = 14.10 gr
Head Dia = .199"
O/S skirt Dia= .202"
I/S skirt Dia = .156" = (2x skirt thickness subtracted from O/S skirt Dia)?
O/S waist Dia = 0.140"
I/S waist Dia = .120"
O/S skirt Length = .150"
I/S skirt Depth = .084"
Skirt Thickness .023" to .024" (average)
Bearing Length = .213"
Overall length = .296"

Inside skirt angle (degree)* =

? = 12.09*
Outside skirt angle (degree)* =

? = 11.67*

Do you need more information, this is what I have been using,
https://www.omnicalculator.com/construction/taper

Skirt Depth = Is from the bottom of the skirt to the top of the inside waist,
that the bolt probe pushes against.
Bearing length = Is from the center of the head diameter band to end of skirt length.
Skirt angle = the degree of the inside and outside skirt cone angles/dimensions.

Thank you, your input is greatly appreciated

I’m not sure if this exists. I’m new to airguns. I have wondered for a while why someone didn’t do this with rifles cartridges.

But why isn’t there places /persons that have bought a bunch of different Ammo for a specific caliber like say .177. Where someone busts up a bunch of tins in to 25 or 50 counts. So you would end up with a bunch of different brands and grain weights that you could then try in your guns. To see which one it likes.

If I had to pay double or triple the amount of a normal premium tin. And I got 10 types at 50 pellets each. It would still be a huge win even if I had to pay 30 bucks for that tin.

How many o rings are SUPPOSED to be on an Fx liner. At what spacing, and what size are they?

I just swapped liners on my 700 .22 impact - there where only two o rings…. And I’ve seen videos of guys pulling 3-4 out when changing out.

I would think the more there are, the more stable the liner would be - but I could be all wrong

Thanks in advance,

Matt
