I tried rock chuck once. That was enough. The ground squirrels here can and do carry Bubonic Plague. Wildlife folks warn against handling them let alone eating them.

If you have blue try that

I just got done playing with white and I'm getting around 80-100 fps spread from min to max. That's more like what I was expecting. I upped the regulator to 140 bar and I'm really liking the results. I'm staying with white for pellets.

The .50 caliber Umarex Hammer Airgun Hunting Rifle didn’t alter the laws of physics. It just took advantage of them. The Umarex Hammer’s primary objective was to accelerate a greater mass faster using technology, ingenuity, innovation, and the big .510 caliber barrel. This unparalleled air rifle will push a 550-grain slug to 760 FPS and generate 705 ft-lbs of energy at the muzzle. Unlike a traditional firearm, the Hammer doesn’t generate a comparable report or recoil signature. A shooter in a big game hunting situation will not need to wear hearing protection when shooting the Umarex Hammer. The recoil of this big bore air rifle can best be described as a firm push, not a sharp kick like a powder burning rifle would give. Its dual-chamber precision magazine means you'll have an immediate follow-up shot if needed and each Umarex Hammer comes with two magazines. The Umarex Hammer is not just another air rifle. It’s in an air rifle hunting class all by itself.

So glad you are a STUD customer Gunner222 and noticed the smooth chambering. Crazy amount of engineering to make this happen sir!

I've experienced both, and I like what Tim has done with the platform. I know the history of the USFT well, played with them, torn them apart, for me and for others, spent lots of time figuring it out. I did okay with mine, and have moved it on for someone else to enjoy... I know your not just a huge fan of the gun Wayne but a die hard one. We all have different perspectives.

Good guns in the hands of good shooters do good. Good guns in the hands of great shooters do great... I've also seen lots of shooters look at a gun up and down after a shot, scratch their heads, and wonder why.. For those looking to learn it, I'd say shoot it like a springer..

More seriously I have a lot of wood scraps and a wooden box probably makes more sense. I can size it to fit.

JimD · Sunday at 7:29 PM

I'm not using the Systainer that came with my Festool Domino XL. I wonder if my GX CS2 would fit?

I had one of those paper weights, I wonder where it wound up?
It was a Marksman product, which really made me sad to think that they had aquired Beeman, when I heard it.

I... 2nd that...thank goodness we were able to acquire them when they were the real deal...like what Daisy did to the S & W

So this approach is somewhat similar to the REPR regulator on the Leshiy2 where an external pressure gauge can be screwed in and a special tool is used for regulator adjustments (done externally on the L2). I'd have preferred a permanently mounted regulator gauge on the Slash along with an external control for the regulator which didn't require removing the cover plate first.

Many people will be satisfied to find a sweet regulator/pellet/fpe combination for hunting and leave it set for consistency.
I prefer to vary the power settings more frequently, bouncing between lower to reduce the sound levels for close targets, and higher to test FPE & performance for different pellets.

The need for an additional 'power kit' for extra low (under 12FPE ?) or higher than standard power settings surprised me at first. Though I've changed out enough washers in output regulators on air tanks and swapped out hammer springs to understand why is would be necessary for the more extreme settings.

Two other questions of big interest to many concern the sound levels. Not only do we need some accurately tested sound results at different FPE levels, but also some customer feedback whether or not there is a substantial Ping or other loud noise made close to the shooters ear on firing. I ended up selling my 1st bull pup because of an unacceptable ping/bang/whoosh noise next to my ear when firing. So far I haven't heard any 1st hand impressions on the new Slash other than vendor assurances that it has an effective shroud.

I think that the Huben K1 does pretty well on both of these sound questions, and the standard Leshiy2 shroud works pretty well at lower powers. I am very curious for a direct Huben K1-to-Slash sound comparison since I view the K1 as the main performance and cost competitor for the Slash. The L2 has substantial noise and air flow back near the the magazine when fired. But the shooters ear isn't resting on the L2's stock near the magazine when shooting, so it doesn't sound all that loud to the shooter compared to a loud ping from some bull pup designs. The L2 and the Slash both occupy similar price ranges when new, while a K1 costs about 25% less than either of those when new.

It'll also be interesting to see how many Slash end up in the classifieds a year from now. There was a wave of Leshiy2s in the classifieds for awhile as early buyers moved them along for something else. Lately is seems like there are fewer L2s on offer. And K1s come up for resale in the classifieds, though it seems to me like slightly more GK1s on offer recently.

It'll be another year or two before we know how well the Slash model line will hold up. Sometimes I see posts by younger (than me anyway) airgunners asking why anyone would be selling their 'almost new, top of the line' airgun purchased within the previous year. It isn't always because the owner was dissatisfied with the airgun. Many of the people who buy 1st release airguns are older and money isn't the big deal it was for them as young adults. The clock is ticking for them and now they can finally afford to own a bunch of expensive airguns all at the same time. They are often more interested in checking out a new product than in actually using it for anything, especially since they usually have a few fine airguns already gathering dust from lack of use. So they buy and sell a few airguns most years just to keep things interesting and they don't care very much if they sell at a loss. Churning through airguns is just another entertainment cost for them, and any money lost from selling an airgun is merely a rental cost for being able to own another fine airgun for awhile. Personally, if I had my choice I'd rather be young and broke again. Well, young anyway, the broke part was difficult.

Now, if they'd just get busy and design these *** airguns so they don't use any O-Rings that can fail. Firearms manage that with vastly higher internal pressures and usually for a considerably lower cost than airguns. I hate replacing O-rings, they are the main reason that most airguns cannot be depended on to perform 100% of the time in emergencies.

Several excellent points to be sure. My gut tells me their internal shroud baffles should be as good or better than the vet 1. Their valve system appears hammerless, with the biggest balanced valve I ever saw. Which appears in front of your cheek, so that ping should be under control. Now, granted, this is guess work, but I BELIEVE in this company. If the construction of this gun follows that of the mutant, vet 1, vet 2. Their orings will last quite a while and be easy to change. If I had the coin, I’d buy it, but I’m eyeing 30 cal. Which I heard is possibly October- but that’s rumor. I’m thing the power kit is a heavier spring and valve poppet. Maybe along with bigger TP. The initial release is geared to average power most likely for balancing shot count. Just another theory.
From what little I have seen on the videos, I’m reassured.

I’d just blame it on a “defunctive“ pellet Steve.

My two 200s at the 30 yard challenge were both with 22s at about 32 fpe. My P35-22 shooting 21 grain H&Ns about 820 fps (about all it will do). The other was with my Caiman X shooting H&N Baracuda 18s about 910 fps. Both were shot off a fairly heavy bipod and using my home made windage and elevation adjustable monopod in the rear. The Caiman is heavier than the P35 but neither are heavy guns. The scope position on the target may shift a little when I fire with them but it appears to happen after the shot leaves the barrel.

This year my bests have been 197s and several 198s (so far). One of the 198s is with my P35-25 which has a P35X barrel on it and is shooting FX 25.4s over 900 fps for 46-47 fpe. I shot the 198 with the Primary Air 4-14 it normally wears. I moved my 10-40 Athlon target scope to that rifle thinking I could quickly get a 200 but it hasn't happened yet. This year I am using a Rock BR front rest and wood+lead blocks I attach to the forward picatinny rail to fit into the front rest. I use a bunny bag at the rear. The Rock BR rest is more solid and more easily adjusted than my old bipod/monopod setup but it hasn't helped scores yet.

My P35-177 has produced more 30 yard challenge targets than the others but not more good ones. I'm going to try some JTS pellets. It is about 19 fpe and it stays put through recoil. I hold all the guns the same. I let the rest support them and minimize my contact. I shoot sometimes sitting on a bucket with sticks and standing too but I am not trying for top bench rest scores when I do that.

Long way of saying I do not think fpe for 177-25 caliber air rifles affects at least my ability to shoot a decent target with them. Even at 50 fpe there is effectively no recoil. Nothing like shooting my 8 lb 30-06. Recoil when you are kind of getting pounded can easily be a factor. But with small bore air rifles I find them to be similar to shoot decently.

I have a DRS .22 Tactical. Occasionally it will not cock. I have to repull the trigger to get it to reset. Then it will cock normally. Does anyone know the fix for this issue?

Sounds like you need to slightly adjust your 1st stage on the trigger. I would start with a 1/8" @ a time clockwise. Downside, messing with one part of the trigger screws up other adjustments, like the safety is one.

This may have more to do with you filling too fast, this will create more heat and expansion - so when your air vessel cools off it will have less psi.

Never thought about that

If I fill my HFT-500 past 2500 like to 3000 psi. It will leak down to 2500 over night and then hold that pressure for weeks. I think it is just the regulator O ring and the surface inside the air tube could be better. Reg is set to 1200 so it’s not a problem.

Yeah I thought about eBay but now if you go over $600 in sales a year they hit you with a 1099 for income tax! It's completely rediculus how many times one dollar can be taxed in this country!
And a walnut 38D for $300 is a banging deal.

Unfortunately, this is how the world works. The families of the government and presidents should live well, and we should pay for it - it's simple.I listed the rifle for $349, but the buyer offered $300. I'm not greedy and sold it for $300.

Like a you see hw95/r9 for sale 350$ ... Sold in few days at most not so rip off ...

But...

The hw95/r9 tuned by jon in p.a 700$. This post been up dated ... This post been updated ... This post been up dated ...,,,... ,,, ...ect .... For years ..lol. ( dang dude a new ones only 465$ or so and thats inflated at that... Lol)

The buyer told me his story. He and his friends bought 3 new D38 rifles for $150 each, but without walnut stocks, in Michigan in the late 1980s. But a few years later, his house was robbed and the rifle went to get married. Since then, he was looking for such a rifle to buy, but could not find it. He was very happy with the purchase.

I have a tuned LGU, TX200, both .177 and a D54in .22. The D54 is a different critter than the others but is really close in accuracy to 50 is and is a 1.5 inch gun for 5 shot groups at 100 with no pellet sorting. But it is s bit of a beast. Heavy with pretty stiff cocking. I love my TX and call it my money gun. But the LGU is so look smooth, easy to cock, and maybe the most accurate. It has had the trigger replace but it is still not as good as the TX trigger. So if I had to only have one......I'm not going there. But they all are ahead of the 300s and D75s for having a permanent home.

Yes, LD still is innovating and improving the USFT he designed... and so is Tim in some different ways. Tim is more into the regulated guns now and LD still believes more in the "Simple Simon" tube design that he hand built the first 7 of, and then got them in the hands of some of the top shooters to prove that Americans could build a great/winning Field Target air rifle... and a good number of championships were won with those first 7 air rifles before Tim mortgaged his house and had some parts made to start his USFT business.

I've been competing in AAFTA Field Target since 2008 and over the years, I've seen so many regulator failures during matches that I'm in LD's camp for non regulated tube USFTs.
A well tuned tube USFT can give you just as tight of FPS spread over 40-50 shots as a regulated rig. I've got a few of them I compete with.

That said, LD did use small Ninja regulated bottles when he designed and built 3 AAFTA qualifying pistols for me after a few years of begging. That bottle regulator is set a 850psi to make 12fpe and is also very dependable and has won many matches for me... including a few National Championships.

I think that regulators that have to regulate down from 3,000 or even 4,500 PSI to the desired PSI have a greater chance to fail. I only fill my pistol bottle to 1,800 - 2,000 PSI and still get 60 plus shots from a fill.

Really the key to either design is a well tuned air gun that shoots well at lower pressure around... 900 - 1300 PSI. It's really simple, the air pressure in the tank changes less shot to shot, as the pressure goes down.. So, if it's a regulated gun, there is less stress on regulator, and if it's a tube gun you can have a much bigger sweet spot in the shot curve, if the tune is using lower pressure.
