Probably doable since a ton of youtubers in the powder burner sector wear tactical helmets, plate carriers and othe tacticool stuff to shoot an AR.
YMMV

Could have something to do with me not shooting PB guns.

Well, at least not unless I have to.

You all have pretty short memories. Recently, Ana Rose Spanagel, using an Avenge-X .25, with a factory barrel, beat all comers in a 3 card 100y benchrest match.

You don't need a bomb squad suit but HPA ain't no joke and needs to be respected.
So, you got this shiny new PCP gun that is pressurized to 300 bar. Your holding it within inches of your face as you take aim..
My question would be.. is it hard to shoot with all that safety equipment on?

Let’s see. An expensive gun that comes with a hard case, and when scoped it won’t fit in the case.

Hmmmm, as a former marketing guy, it’s the marketing person who put the kit together. The person doesn’t actually shoot, so they choose the less expensive case having no clue why it costs less other than size.
The sad part is no one in the organization recognizes the problem in time and they buy 50,000 cases…you can’t go back.

I would rather have one with a walnut stock.

Generally, I perceive the Yoko a tiny bit quieter. That said, I have one Yoko and 7 Falx, which may tell you something… the Falx is way lighter than the Yoko and does and provides 97% (perceived) of the performance of the yoko in terms of quieting things down. I also like that you can get it with different cores/flows for different guns. Combined with the fact that I can get almost 2 Falx for 1 Yoko make it the clear winner in my book…

Have you tried to remove different sections of the Yokozuna? Making it shorter will change the harmonics.

I will tell you that I did not hook them up with a change caliber gun. I sold the one a RTI that you can change calibers with but he has zero interest. They are powder burner guys so they never changed their .223 into a 300 mag so the trying to have five guns in one is a battle I didn’t have to fight with them. The list? Taipan vet .25. RTI Prophet .25. Custom built Kral Jumbo .22. Three JTS Airacuda Max’s one .22 a .25 and a .30. And finally one Zelos .25. Oops, and a Gamo Urban .22 was the RTI guys first gun I got him. He still has it. Great bang for the buck. Bad bang for the buck for the guy who wants to constantly try to make the gun something it’s not. Very very accurate for a simple unregulated gun.

The part in that about making the gun something it’s not is key. Thats why one of the most important things to consider is your usage. What will you do with it for your normal shootin?

Banging steel at 100 calls for a very different gun than the on e needed for stalking chippers @ 30 feet.

Most of mine are very low power due to my environment. The more powerful are for Safari away from home.

Placed my "pre-tarrif" order for a Blackwolf in .25 chassis with a sub MOA barrel to use as my main EFT rig.
I also ordered a SSL through CARM for my .25 RAW so i can put it through it's EFT paces.

So after all the lost packages I got me beautiful new RedRyder and wanted to mount it on the wall. I went online and found these beautiful brass hooks for 15.00. So I ended up ordering two sets to get free shipping. Great. Fifty bucks two sets of hooks and a 6.5 gallon bucket that will hold my Bottle. But then I looked last night after the order was placed it says delivered overnight between 4am and 8 am! I got up at 6 and it is out for delivery.

Bench rest competition is something I’ve wondered about but have no knowledge, don’t know where to start. Any in the southeast? What are the requirements in terms of caliber, sights, distances? I’d like to take something I already have to start but don’t want to look like a complete idiot first time out. I’m about to start the 10 meter matches at CMP next month and looking forward to it but benchrest sounds interesting. Putting in the work is no problem but I want to avoid throwing money at it until I get it right.

This is the place to start ... https://www.national50.net/
It has all the rules, list of clubs and "Match Results" pages will show you scores from shooters from all across America ranked in order of the score results.

Do you know that you can put a .177 pellet through both eyes of a pigeon and not kill it? Happened yesterday, no pictures.

RMCIV, what area of Texas?, lots AG folks here. If your about and get near New Waverly look us up. Veradium Air.

I’m another former thumpertalk member. I still ride as u can see from my avatar. Also have an Africa twin DCT. I stumbled on the airgun community when I tried to get a full power spring for a Crosman Phantom years ago. Ended up being real active on the GTa and Canadian airgun forum. Just over the last year I’ve gotten back into the airgun world after taking a break for a couple years. Welcome to the AGN.

Are there any good inexpensive benchrest rifles?

I needed something funny to read this morning.
If you want to shoot bench-rest... take anything you have that shoots... plop your butt down and shoot. Slingshots and BB guns too.
Seriously though.

I’ve shot BR with everyone of my plinking airguns - why not? I’m not winning anything anyway; to me BR is about extracting the best possible score/group from a airgun or taking an airgun to "it's" highest level of performance while a mastering all the other variables in the equation: your body, your mind and the unforgiving environment or wind.

I enjoy shooting BR with all my guns as that’s how I learn about their idiosyncrasies. It also teaches me about my limitations as compared to my Airguns limitations.

Maybe you will get lucky and find a low priced exceptionally well made and "accurate" unicorn for Bench Rest, but I think it’s important to realize what constitutes “good” and or accurate, in your mind may be completely subjective to the harsh reality of what actually shows up on a paper target 25/50/75/100 yards away when in a competitive environment.

It’s not just the gun either…. The rests and other support stuff can be pretty expensive as well.
That said = set a budget for us, and we’ll be of more assistance.

I only have one true BR rig; a RAW TM1000 with a cut barrel in .22. I also have a one piece PDQ rest and a couple of joystick type rests….
just locking your plinking machine into a one piece rest will teach you a lot about you V the gun.

Then there are:

wind flags
rear rests
a high quality SOLID bench - for home that doesn’t jitter
an adjustable stool - or throne
legit targets

you can spend a bundle or almost nothing on any of these above mentioned items.

add in some therapy expenses as well as I’ve witnessed a serious BR shooter is likely to become obsessed.

below pictures are a journey in picture form

the first picture is my TM1000 cut barrel in .22
the three targets represent three different types of BR guns.
A dedicated Bench Rest USFT Mac1 shot at my second official event just sitting on bags
a Redwolf HFT rig shot at my first ever event - just plopped down on top of my gun case and shot
A proof target shot from my Thomas HFT rig = shot by the builder @thomasair - congratulations on your worlds performance this week!
second to last picture is the type of Bench you will find at a lot of ranges... easy to build at home if you want.
last picture is my indoor shooting to outdoor set up - it jitters too much.
Shoot what ya have, shoot what you can afford... create the best scores possible while learning to control (ha) the person pulling the trigger who has to understand a gazillion nuances.

Only .25 left in stock

Probably need a compressor too

Found a 38C….Snob Nose…I have been looking for..as usual a complete tear down was needed to get it up to par…had to tear it down twice…first time it still had a small leak…I noticed on this one it had a small teflon seal in the base of the valve assembly…after reading up that seal was stock but they used a smaller O-Ring with that setup..the Henry Ford kit uses a larger diameter O-Ring which no longer requires that teflon seal anymore.. removed it and all was well..like new again

Well.....Removed the internals...Piston assembly and adjuster . Drilled the vent hole out to 2.5mm and tapped it for a 3mm plug screw ( sealed with Loctite 680)
I have a Sabre Tactical Front Reg Delete adapter incoming, but wont arrive for a week or so....so being impatient to try new things i modded the original front reg as above..
Installed the Huma gen 3 High pressure 2ng Reg...... So far Excellent results..

Do you have to de pressure,to take tank off
