@Savagefox It could be that you could use some practice. I could see if it was just one pistol , but now you’re complaining about another.

N/A - I want a cheap, really precise pistol with enough power to do small game

Hi lads, its summer and I'm puting time to refine my pistols. Those are with a pp800 at 10m off hand, and I'm not happy at all, I can group much better with the 50 buck p17 China clone, so I'm considering to get another more precise gun. -Must be .177 -Enough power to do etical pest control...

How often do you shoot air pistols? What’s your shooting background with pistols m? How many years have you consistently been shooting air pistols? I you an expert air pistol shooter? What sort of training do you have? Do you or have you ever competed as an air pistol shooter? If so, how did you fare in competition?

I also see that you’re taking guns apart, or at least you disassembled the GK1. Are you examining the bores? Do you have a borescope?

I've been a bodyguard and have firearms background experience, nothing precision like, but I trained a lot both in reactive and precision shooting.

I complain because I have far better results with a cheap 50 bucks beeman p17 (practically pellet on pellet) than those show on the pictures, and after getting used to the pp800 I can't group better than that, so maybe it's pistols limits. The GK1 is another history, on the test I was using tripod + rest bag so it's totally on the pistol, not me.

It seems like somebody does not want us to travel. I plan to fly two weeks from today for a Builders for Christ volunteer trip and I am not looking forward to it. The time in the air is not an issue for me but I cannot even take a pocket knife because it scares the stewardesses. A little less than 2 inch knife. And they are "there for my protection". Lots of nonsense goes with flying. Getting through TSA will probably take over an hour at Charlotte, it did last time I flew. If our politicians flew commercial instead of on private planes maybe things would get better. But it is really nice to save hours of time.

It is 5/8-18 thread. The additional length is what makes the hand squeeze work. Maybe somebody with small hands might be okay resting on the end cap though possibly uncomfortable.

The issue about rings is "how high". I like a low scope but I think you have to be high enough to clear the magazine on a Notos. If you have "free" rings that came with other guns or scopes I would try them to at least get a better idea what height you need. If you do not have any, you might want to order rings in several heights from Amazon and return the ones that do not work. I do not buy expensive rings, the "cheap" ones work fine for me. They are lined with a plastic tape so the minor lack of alignment that is typical for inexpensive rings does not damage the scope because the plastic tape gives.

For a scope the least expensive I have good luck with is a Hawke Vantage. Mine is a 2-7 but for target work I would get at least the 3x9. Hawke is one of a few manufacturers known for good warranty performance if you happen to get a "bad one". Athlon is another as is Arken. I had a Bug Buster and when it broke UTG ran away and hid. They gave me a return number and then totally would not communicate. So no more UTGs for me. Athlon was totally responsive on one of their scope immediately sending me a new one. No questions asked.

The issue you may have with less expensive tanks from Amazon or similar sources is getting somebody to fill them. They are rated to European standards but not typically to DOE standards. I think the DOE standards are stupid but people who could fill your tank will be violating US law if they do. They are fine if you have your own compressor but a tank plus compressor to fill it is probably more than you want to spend. A DOE certified tank will be more than a compresssor.

If you do not want to hand pump (and for a Notos a hand pump seems like a totally doable option, even if you later get a compressor the hand pump is a usefull backup) I would get a GX CS2. If you order it from GX with their discount coupon it will be about $250 delivered. Amazon is more but they offer an extended warranty and should be trouble free relative to tarriffs. I have not heard of issues with GX but it seems more possible. The GX3 is not a lot more if you like it's features better. These little compressors really use 12V power but come with a 120 to 12 volt transformer. And you can power them from your vehicle.

The Huben is a great pistol, but if cost is not a concern, you may want to consider the Western Mordax. It comes with a detachable stock and a detachable 15 round magazine. The Huben magazine is fixed and is a little more difficult to load. If you are in the mid-range in cost, the HW44 by Weihrach is an excellent choice. Powerful and accurate. If want more details on the Mordax, take a look at this thread:

Yeah no thanks. Mid 90s all weekend and humidity to match. Plus all those nasty biting bugs.

I remember reading a post that someone else had a defective grease pot. I think it was the rubber diaphragm in the bottom of it that was letting grease into the machine while it was pumping. This caused it to become over greased and slow way down. Seems to be what yours is doing from the pics. I think GX sent him a replacement.
I’ve always thought that water trick was super strange. I mean the grease pot puts grease into the cylinder so wouldn’t that water have to go into the cylinder? That seems like a horrible idea.

90's is good? You must not have the malarial type heat we have here. Mosquitos, ticks, deer & black flies are loving it. The woods are a no-go zone for the time being.

We have 15 mph winds out of the south here in Kansas City, MO today supposed to be in the mid to upper 90s and it was 80 degrees when I got up at 6am.

I have a Benjamin Trail in .22 that would work to 30-40 yards but I haven’t tried it past that. I forget what scope is on it now but budget $100 for it and shop around and you should be fine.

That has to be the cleanest pcp/bottle conversion I've ever seen

Competition precision and cheap are mutually exclusive. HW44 used will run about 8 to 9 hundred US. Not cheap, but cheap is in the eye of the beholder. I love my Hatsan Velox. The second generation cured the earlier problems. It is semi and would allow you a quick follow up shot. I have over 8000 pellets through mine with no jams or issues. I have a red dot on mine and it is a true pistol (no carbine stock mounted. You may want to define your purse size and respond to beerthief to get more focused responses. Good luck in your quest.
