Today is the day! Enjoyed everyones's posts and pictures. Thanks!

Paul= It seems like they either used some very very strong thread locker or cross threaded it on installation? It's too bad that Hatsan & also the Chinese don't realize how important spare parts & CS is. I guess they make enough money as is!

in order to get the fps you are getting I have my low at 140 the high is at 1377--95 bar my dwell is 26. Skout recommends 880-920 fps 1700 hp, 160-190 lp, Dwell 23-28. I am curious if you know what is best to chase. FPS or regulator pressures and let the fps fall where it may? I'm guessing chase the FPS and fine tune accuracy with the dwell setting.

Don't know what to tell you, but I shoot an M3 in 30 cal at 100 yd matches. It's a good gun. The King? The gun is good, I think, but I don't have a good opinion of the GRS stock. It looks nice and has adjustable cheek piece, but that wierd pistol grip and cast off doesn't help with shooting. And it's heavy. I had one on an Anschutz 22 rimfire rifle and hated it. You could buy the King and install an aftermarket stock like the Saber Tactical, if your budget allows. If you want power, get an M4 or a Panthera.

The second batch is now available!

Mmmm maybe. Can you post more info as to how this will be done? I assume shooting off the bench, but if it's prone or standing, I'm too old.

Hi, im going to buy a New toy and dont know who to choose.
The king is new and the m3 is slightly used (m3 is 100$ less)
I have had m3 before and kinda know it and was happy with it, but the king has since its realese always been a wet dream.
I shoot for fun and nothing specaial but I am a "power whore" and am abit sceptical to the kings 600mm vs m3 700mm power wise, I will shoot in .25.

Any toughts?

King since you've had an impact. I too want a king one day. Ask a specific question get a silly answer that justifies somebodys purchase of a ghost

@coolman9816 - Welcome to Airgun Nation. There is a lot of good information here. Avoid pellets that fit in the breech loosely. Try and use lead pellets, they work the best in 99% of rifles.

For .177, the most common weight is right around 8 to 10 grains. Try Crosman, JSB, H&N's.

For example, these work very well in most rifles.

Welcome to the Rabbit Hole!

This is the Iowa Field Target Association monthly report for April 2025

The Facebook group has 37 members.

Thank you to all the people that and are making this happen.

The weather is rapidly changing to better Shooting temperatures. Still a fun challenge learning to shoot in the wind.

Construction is continuing on the airgun range at the West Liberty Gun Club.

The airgun range is open to the public but not completely finished.

The sight in range with a bench is complete.

There are movable reactive targets and permanent spinners with range markings for public use.

Eye and ear protection are required at all time and a hat is strongly recommended.

The field target corse is still being layed out and cleared. That will probably be a couple weeks to complete.

If you live in the West Liberty Iowa area. And you want to shoot airguns or Airgun Field Target. Please consider joining the West Liberty Gun Club.

We will be having airgun competitions soon. The details have not been worked out at this stage. You do not need to be a member to compete. Competition will be open to the public.

If you join the West Liberty Gun club you can use the Airgun range, pistol bays, 100 yard range and trap corse anytime the range is open. Unless there is a competition.

Public hours are Saturday and Sunday 1-5 pm.

CHECK THE SCHEDULE!

Public access is sometimes suspended during large competition events.

Report to the range officer building before going to the range.

Club members can shoot from 8am - dusk seven days a week. I will be at the range Saturday mornings.

If you are interested in getting together for Saturday morning shooting matches . PM me or Email.

I will provide more details as things progress.

Thank you all for participating and getting the sport of Field Target going in IOWA.

I have a Benjamin Airbow which is very accurate as long as I align the fletchings just right but the problem here in Missouri is you can only use it during gun season. I have a Tenpoint Titan M1 crossbow that I've had for 7 years and only had to change the cables and string once, but I only shoot it to sight in each year and hunt an I've taken several deer with it out to 40 yards. I'm hoping the state finally makes it legal to hunt with during our bow season before to long.

Ah yes, saving all the boxes that your air rifles were shipped to you just in case you ever sell them. But you never do.......

Also, the angled accessory has had issues with leaks and “fitting” properly in a carry case……expensive way to see your guage!

Click to expand...

Thanks. I didn’t know about the leaks.

If you want a bullpup you should look at the Leopard.

It's based on the DRS and both of my DRS rifles are extremely accurate.

The Leopard sniper bottle has 890cc of air that's a lot of plinking!

Page 14 tells you everything you need to know about safety, cocking/loading, shooting technique and screw maintenance. Those damn Germans!

I'm glad this resurfaced as I am receiving a Lelya .22 and have been thinking on what to out on it. I have a Veyron 10x40 which side great! But at close distances is a pain to scan with such a small window. I'm thinking I may get the panzer 1-10x24 again or try that discovery 2-12x24 or the 3-12x44

Yet mine still sticks!

@AlabamaLarry Seems like a fair assessment. I haven’t experience the haze. Where’d you get the side wheel?

Click to expand...

The side wheel is a UTG that I modified to fit the Veyron.

Tricky-Dicky said:

Mine doesn't deform pellets as I checked when I removed the barrel and the pellets had no damage, but then I didn't get physical with the loading and the odd thing is it only does it with the Barracuda 8s, and they measure at exactly the same size both in length and head size, I am thinking its down to the deferent metal as they seem harder than other pellets.

Pics of my mag, and the last is with the pellet half pushed out so you expect deflection, but it would be in the aperture of the barrel liner at this point which is a pretty good fit.

they have def. fixed the magazine issue.
Skout is a GREAT company.
i shot with a guy this weekend who used a .22 Skout for HFT. he did quite well.

@AlabamaLarry How do you like it?

Click to expand...

The Veyron is a great scope for the price point. The reticle line are a little on the fine side however not that bad.

Ordered 3 huma XXL plenum regs, 1 for each lelya and 1 from my buddies stoeger xm1 .25 as his is failing.
