Will post some pictures if I can find time to take pictures of the prints, but in the meantime here is a video of a good boar, shooting and Evanix .25

That was a great shot! Good job and thanks for sharing!

I heard it was going to be a scorcher there, Hot here too, but not that bad, in the high 80's with high humidity in north east Texas, thunderstorms and rain, low chance of Tornadoes....
I did shoot today during the light rain, it was dead still, no wind, I shot at Vines, no critters in the rain, the Zelos outperformed itself, I swear this thing is so accurate, I'm the faulty part that could cause it to miss, I shot 65 yards to the very back of my property across the creek at a 1/4" Vine on the tree with 1 mildot hold over, cut the vine in 2, Dead on accuracy on the first mildot, same thing on closer vines, I have several high end PCP's that are not this accurate, the only one's that come close are the HW100's at 780 fps, this is shooting 921 fps, it just blows my mind every time I shoot it.

Same bro. I bought my gun specifically to shoot slugs because of the swirling winds around here.

Sure with lots of patience you could make it work with pellets, I'm not that guy so call me what you will. It's a better tool for the job.

I hear that for 22 cal a larger can with hair curlers (only) is quieter=lower pitch then a same size can filled with a Tesla valve.

Looks like m14x1.. That is what I found from the net.. Will check with Airforce tomorrow...

.......let's stick to weight measurement for now..... swaging each pellet to size is far more easier to do than mechanical sorting using a gauge...

This
The problem with the Pelletgauge is that the holes are "burn-cut" with a lazer, and the holes ID may be accurate enough but burrs inside walls catching the lead here and there.
I gave up sorting pellets by head size because of a lot of time consuming, but I am doing head sizing instead.

I don't know if I'm going crazy or not, but the ONLY complaint I have with the 3-12x is the slightly thick mildot reticle.
Sooo, Amazon had a sale on returned OP3 versions of the compact with moa turrets/reticle and I bought a 3-12x and a 4-16x. These have fine reticles and even at 16x clear as all get out, really impressive. I constantly surprised how bright and clear they are. I have a Hawke Frontier 3-15x and it's a super scope, but I really prefer the UTG, better eye box, easier to see markings on reticle, ie 10, 20 moa etc.
These scopes upped the game on mid line scopes. They're as good or better than Vector Veyron.

Nice - you could have been picking that out of your eye or whatever!!

Just got a zelos and it’s leaking air slowly. The pressure gauge is dropping but the reg gauge is staying where it’s set even after the pressure gauge has dropped below the reg. So I can rule out the poppet valve right? Any ideas where it’s leaking from and has any one else dealt with this problem already?

check the Fill port, if you have to , put a balloon on it, use a rubber band wrapped around it, make sure the Bleed valve screw is sealing properly, back it off then retighten very snug, last check the gauge, make sure it's snug tightly do not over tighten anything very snug is good for most parts, you can put a balloon on a Gauge too to see if it has an internal leak, Latex rubber gloves work as a makeshift balloon, use rubber bands to wrap the sealing end, also try 5-10 drops of Silicone oil in the filler hose and pump it into the air cylinder of the gun, this will lubricate any O-rings that might be dry and possibly leaking.
you know it's not leaking on the regulated side of the regulator, then it just leaves the high side of the regulator of the gun and air cylinder, should be easy to locate leak, my bet it's the fill port valve o-ring.

Mine has been great, no leaks, shoots like a laser,
I find when a gun leaks it is usually 6 things,
#1- Fill port o-ring seal, sometimes they get hard and crusty usually #5 or #6 o-ring size, replace as needed or use Silicone oil to relube.
#2- Fosters Fill port threads not sealing- bad Teflon tape or not tight enough on Delrin seal
#3- Loose or leaking Manometer Gauge- tighten or replace
#4- Loose air bleed screw- Tighten to properly seal - I bought many air guns that no one could find leak and was only a loose Bleed screw
#5- Regulator O-ring leaking- usually poorly assembled with chaffed o-rings
#6- Poppet leak, cracked of worn out poppet- do balloon test on barrel

easy fixes for some leaks, put 5-10 drops of Silicone oil in the fill hose or probe depending on your fill port type, pump the Silicone oil into the gun along with air, fill air to normal fill pressure, shoot gun to off regulator or to 1500 psi, this allows Silicone oil to circulate through the air gun, if leak stops, leak was caused by dried O-rings, oil will relubricate O-rings and help make a better seal, usually it will be a leak at the fill port o-ring.
Make sure all threaded items are tight enough for a proper seal.

Not so lucky with my TJ for the marauder, may just use it for the fire pit poker. Done with it!

Did you get this one?

Pretty happy with the looks & finish of the Shogun! Now if only Barra can get me a barrel that’s not damaged out the factory I can shoot the daggum thing.

In my EDguns, 850-890 is a good speed for the 25.4s. This can usually be achieved at or below the factory reg setting of 125 BAR using only HST adjustment. Make sure you set your speed at least 13-15 fps below the maximum speed at a given reg pressure. This seems to improve SD as well as efficiency.

The guns can run the pellets significantly faster, but 850-890 is consistently a very stable speed for the EDguns with pellets. Some guys are very successful as high as 925. I see better results around 880. That assumes you want that much power. You can certainly shoot all the way down to 550 if you shoot short distance or indoors.

Can i let the hammer spring be too powerful? How do i know when to stop

marflow 777 said:

if i were you i would try to take the front sight mount off first
i remember trying on a dead 48 i have and gave up

now most posts will say you can just drill out any muzzle brake to 15mm and to that i say HORSE FEATHERS
you would need a drill press a way to hold it 90 degrees to the table and a drill bit
large drills love to walk and a lathe would be your best bet and even fewer of us have a lathe

I have taken the entire front sight off that’s what made me start thinking about something to put in its place. The barrel is shrouded and there are groves cut into the barrel to align the sight.

Two grocery stores didn’t have baby back ribs, so I went with bacon wrapped tenderloin. Almost to temp.
I’ve been spoiled with PCP’s with scopes. But I just hit 3 in a row at this spinner at 18 yards with iron sights. I’m thoroughly enjoying this rifle.
Since this one will go to my son, I’m debating getting another of the same rifle or a Beeman R9 22 cal to shoot alongside him. I have time to decide. Tough choice.

I beat the snot out of mine, no air loss here, unless I pull the trigger, there solid pistols.
