City of Industry always seems to be a bad Hub, LA in general is bad to have packages go through, San Bernardino hub is the worst, packages far off the Earth into the Void there..... too much Crime, you can't trust the shippers anymore than a Drug Addict on the streets of San Francisco......

The shipper, in this case, has done everything possible to get this solved and has been on the phones as much as me. Just to talk to a person NOT in customer service, but in a claims depatment, was impossible and the claims dept. refused to talk with me until another claim is filed. Yes ...refused!! I would recomend that people insure their package for " Full Replacement" of the item. If they are going to treat customers this way, then make them pay for their mistakes since their "help" is severly lacking

Was able to modify a section of picatinny rail and mount a scope. Need to adjust the other one to mount on the mfr.

About an hour of work to make two picatinny rail sections.

So the Theoben Mkii now has a .177, .22, and a .25 barrel.

Yes. I consider 7 days to me good, I'm outside of the contiguous US. I think it came USPS ground advantage? It has batteries so it has to go by ground.

what island are you on?

The RWS Meisters have always been my go to .177 pellet for accuracy. The Hobbys are great for plinking.

Shooting .25 at 880-888 fps

That is pretty well the middle of the guns range. Little 10.6 gr 177 at 800 and being at the low end of the energy range could definitely figure in to the equation. Thanks

The 40 yard group with the Pathfinder is simply amazing… Care to share you tune? I will have to give them a try in my Pathfinder.

I recently purchased a Walther LGM-1 and loved it so much I really wanted to try one of their more modern air rifles.

These are great guns for the dollar. My experience with them have been very good. Don't try the heavier pallets. The breech seal in these guns were made for the lower power guns . What happens is the heavier pellets cause more back pressure causing the breech seal to leak slightly. In my experience causing a harsh recoil which affects your accuracy. The alloy pellets to try in your Gamo are the Predator GTO's. I have had great luck with these accuracy, wise and
they will not hurt the gun. This advice is from years of experience with them. My purpose for using them is not to gain feet per second,but to gain accuracy.

I appreciate your advice. The Mag’s recoil was definitely a surprise to me and certainly not the same as my grandson’s 177 Whisper that I shot 5 pellets with before buying the Mag. Hopefully, over time I’ll learn all the nuances of the Mag, one of which I already have. If a pellet doesn’t autoload, I’ve learned that there’s a distinct difference, by sound mostly, then when it does. Along with nothing hitting the target. It’s only happened maybe three times. As far as feeling the difference in recoil between pellet weights, I have not, but now I’ll pay more attention to it. I’ll try out your suggestion of the Predator pellets the next time I’m ready to do some experimenting.

My 1720 is liking the 9.3 SuperMags @about 650fps.

I tie down the hoses just in case one lets loose, if for some reason the quick disconnect fails at just 1000psi it can knock teeth out etc. I have seen 3/4-inch airline let loose with 90 psi and it was just like a cobra

yep, loose whips are probably the things most likely to hurt an airgunner during the airing up process IMO

....not nearly as sexy as having a tank blow up in your face, but statistically there's zero percent chance of that actually happening so busted teeth and contusions are the most we can hope for

Longerun · Monday at 8:41 PM

Anyone have experience with these? With chamber pressures insufficient to cause any deformation, is exact barrel fit the best?

Being a bolt action, def not the Marauder if you're only using one hand to do all that

I'd probably go w the Notos. That lever looks less challenging.

A fill probe may or may not be easier...I think a foster fitting is probably a two handed deal for most of us

Good point on the fill probe being easier to use than a foster fitting. I have both and a bum right thumb. The fill probe is much easier to use.

You definitely “blurred“ that ground hogs face…

Congratulations on your first and particularly on the patience and observation on your part.

Does anyone know where I could purchase a longer barrel for my Crosman 1322? Some sites advertise but when you get there they are out.

Ebay, or even call crosman. I know they were blowing stuff out for the merger.

You should see how good their rimfire ammo does!

Killed a lot of squirrels with RWS Match rimfire ammo, very accurate. Havent shot a lot of RWS pellets other then the Superdomes in springers.

That is darn nice looking. Thanks for sharing and making some of us a little envious.

rdtricks · Monday at 8:29 PM

Have you tried JTS or AEA pellets? I think you might be suprised as to how good they really are.

I got my first groundhog last week. This is the first one I've seen on our property but I wasn't about to wait until it fully establishes itself near our house. It took 12 days from the first time I saw it until the kill shot. I've had it in my scope sights a couple of times prior but I just didn't get a shot then. I learned its habits and schedules and waited for it on that faithful day. At first, I noticed that it was very skittish and well aware of its surroundings. It was very sensitive to even the slightest sounds. As time went on, it started to become noticeably more comfortable and more complacent being in our backyard.

Taipan Veteran Standard .25 caliber at 44 FPE shooting JSB King Heavy at 765 FPS. The shot was from 18 meters away from inside a window. One shot between the left eye and left ear.

Pardon the blurry face. I'm still not totally comfortable taking animals even for pesting purposes. Although, I do eat a lot of animals.
