Please explain what you mean by Axle. Never heard that term before in regards to Air Guns.

It’s #80 on the Avenge X schematic, it protrudes out of the connection block on the receiver side.

A general lack of intuition about simple mechanical objects seems to be a characteristic of our electronic age!

Try explaining to anyone under 35 that a new springer needs to "break in" before it will work at its best, and check out the blank stares you get...

i am half way persuaded that mu wildcat 3 btl shoots low first shot or two of the day/session(cold barrel such a thing in pcp?)

i was having alot of flyers. went back over all the furniture screws; sure nuff, rear stock screw was not loose but not snug and rear adjustable scope mount was just barely loose. snugged em both. this is the result. much better. 50yds, .25 cal wildcat 3 btl, shooting Hades 26g on ground squirrels. no flyers. finally. that one at the bottom was first round. my bad, or cold barrel ref above. still, next time i complain about inconsistency i gotta temember this

I don’t know if I could live with having to shoot .177

Especially if your hands were cold. Lol

Crow, tell the seller you'll find a rear sight iris yourself, ask the seller to compensate you whatever the two of you think is a fair amount and buy yourself a Gehmann 510 described above. I bought one and really like it. I also got carried away and wanted some more bling so bought a Gehmann front sight iris 522A. The two pics below show you the range of openings you can adjust the 522A to.

On the other hand, I don't see anything on your range that lends itself to 10m sights so maybe scope it?

Just came across these:

https://www.cabelas.com/p/cabelas-kwik-stik-bipod-shooting-rest-101161115

Cabela's Kwick Stick. Two sizes. The smaller is good for sitting to kneeling from the ground and the larger for perhaps kneeling or using a stool. Super light and definitely quick. Pop the Velcro band, give it a shake and the little package becomes a sturdy shooting sticks. I got the smaller one so that while in pursuit of game or stalking a varmint, when I close the distance I can drop to or take a knee and now have a sturdy three point shooting stance. Fits in my little field pack with my buddy bottle for quick access in the side pocket. Weight is barely 6 ounces.

Point being. yes 32-25-12 is ample.

Edit: For clarification, the scope cam Is my hunting partner, not shooting, just filming.I was the shooter. I'm about to mount my Zulus to my katran, I'd like to have footage from both guns

Moved my 2 veyrons on.

The 3 optisan vipers I have are going nowhere. Love the scopes, work well for me.

First one appears to impact high and deflect off the top and to the left. sometimes they'll ride the skull. Game of angles, and sometimes the prey kinda wins (not really). even if you hadn't touched him off he would've died from intracranial pressure due to swelling and likely Subdural hematoma. I have a video on here.. actually... I'll get on my phone and post, I was in your neck of the woods not long ago and dropped a grey from just over 75y with a .177 10.03 @21fpe MUZZLE. probably impacted him at 13fpe/760fps and he had crossed the river styx before he hit the ground. I had this happen with the dreamline at 46fpe with a king, Hit just below the eye, deflected just a touch and removed his sinuses, and jaw. He wasn't gone. Also hit one dead on between the eyes, the angle was just right for a deflection and it ripped a strip of hair and flesh giving him a reverse mohawk. was walking in cirlces obviously not long for the world, had to give him the Coup de grace

I've had 7 or 8 Evanix over the years. Still have 3 that I'll not sell. A .50 Sniper, A .22 RS 1, And a Max Air .25
The Max Air is a fine shooting Gun. And with Veradium Air coming out with a new valve for the Max Air I hear they make a great improvement in power.

igolfat8 · 2025-04-30T09:55:30-0500

Hey thanks Mike. My hold offs were near or past the box line. Really scary holding out there in la la land, in hopes of hitting a bull but it worked … most of the time. My vertical impacts were pretty consistent but horizontal hold offs were OUT there.

Dewy · 2025-04-30T09:54:52-0500

Thank you guys for the replies. I will keep my eyes on the Oregon event.

If you are not concerned about strict brand loyalty, LOL, any German eye disk - FWB, Walther, Diana, Weihrauch, and more - will fit the sight. They all mount via the same metric "M 9.5" thread (9.5 x 1.0 mm). But stepping up to an adjustable iris, as Steve M noted, is a great idea (the common thread size enables such aftermarket accessories to thrive).

The stock finish looks original to me. 300S Juniors have beech stocks (not walnut) and the dark stain was typical until late in the production run. The shorter barrel with no weight sleeve and early-style front sight tunnel is another Junior trademark.

I have a Junior action mounted in a re-finished 300SL stock. Here it is next to the original Junior stock, which looks much the same as yours.

Field target course currently running 56 lanes(40 ft lb max), 11 to 125 yards with a single 158 yard novelty shot, pellets only, with lots of different positions(not mostly sitting), all in the shade of deep woods, combined mountain bike/shooting event, speed plate shooting (rifle and pistol), mini sniping, and field crossbow events. If you want to join in send message introducing yourself and shooting/competition experience.

Great to hear from another FT location in Texas. The curent and former clubs in Texas I can find are: Arlington Sportsmans Club (Mansfield), Boerne Airgun Club (Boerne-San Antonio), Central Texas Airgun Club (Dripping Springs and Clifton), Yegua Airgun Club (Somerville), Kermit Airgun Club (Kermit), Pearland Sportsmans Club (Pearland-Houston). You said you were a former AAFTA member club west of Austin. What was the club's name?

Trucker3573 · 2025-04-30T09:47:51-0500

I have found hades to perform very well out of fx pellet liners and the avenger I had. The avenger needed to be turned down to about 850 fps for them to work well. The only barrel for me that hasn’t really liked them is my delta wolf barrel. It isn’t horrible but there are plenty of options in that price category that work a lot better.

SHOULD be enough. where in the head were they hit? Low head hits will knock them out, cause posturing, but eventually they may recover. I've had that happen with .25, hit under the eye, blew him off a tree violently. I get up to him and nearly gave my pants their very only stool sampling.

I'm quite certain that I hit one just under the ear probably level with the eye and the other one just behind the head. I'm attaching videos of both shots. Both times, when I turned off the video, I thought for sure that they were done for.

I just got one in a couple weeks ago, stock screws completely stripped out, hammer spring retention screw was stripped, managed to get that out and who ever had it before me was adjusting the hammer with the set screw still in and broke something inside. Luckily I sent in for an RMA and heard back within minutes. Sent the rifle back but now no word on a replacement. Who knows if or when I see that replacement.

I have sent three request for service thus far and not gotten a reply. Maybe I should send a request for an RMA and see what happens. I hate to do that because I really feel it's a simple fix if I could just get someone to respond and send me the needed parts! It's really sad their CS is so poor! They are certainly quick about taking your money and sending you what you purchased, but from that point on, seems like the crickets take over!

Did you try a strap wrench on the tube ?

Yes I did! Still no luck! There are a lot of threads on that fill valve, so I wouldn't think they would have been able to tighten it all the way snug if it was cross threaded, so there may still be hope!

I did find the culprit, which confirmed my suspicions that the o-ring failed...

This morning I tried another approach... I put a few drops of silicone o-ring oil into the foster end of the fill probe and then aired it to 100 BAR. My thought was, if the o-ring was dry and not sealing maybe the silicone oil would lube it up and it would seal. I did this a couple times and thought I had it because the air did not immediately leak out. But then, pop and that's when I saw the piece of o-ring sticking into the fill port!

Weather permitting, in another deviation from the usual TEXtreme monthly match schedule (again by popular demand) our Saturday, May 3 matches will be Rifle and Pistol Extreme Field Target in order to allow shooters quality practice for the upcoming 2025 TEXtreme Grand Prix And State Field Target Championships on June 6-8. This-coming Saturdays course is set with two targets on each lane having (high) Troyer difficulties specific to Extreme Rifle and Pistol. The May matches will be 40 shots, and shooters may purchase as many as two score-cards. One card is $25, two for $40.

The practice/sight-in range will open by 10 AM Saturday. The shooters meeting starts at noon.

Should forecasts predict high precipitation possibilities the match will be cancelled and rescheduled for the following Saturday, May 10. At this moment the forecast through Saturday is all over the place as pertains precipitation

. I’ll make the call by late Thursday or early Friday based on forecasts, hopefully not as fickle as they are now.

Hope to see y’all soon.

Ron & Maggyy

I know this is an old thread, but I agree that Crosman should have revamped the 101 for the hundred year anniversary. In my opinion, the 101 is the best multipump that Crosman has ever made, plus it was their flagship model from a hundred years ago.

I would agree with your best statement ... VERY nice carry weight and balance with a good pump mechanism. Valve needs some work though. I've had several and hung onto one that is all steel and wood with the hex peep. Re-blued it and put a 20 cal LW on it back a few years. My bluing is not too good but it shoots well. Just finished a more modern valve arrangement on a Challenger Plainsman so kind of thinking about doing that to my 100 so I can back off the hammer spring a bunch. Mine has the big weight and a heavy hammer spring.
