Whether the vent is in the right place or not, the hole wasn't nearly the problem that the washer is. Sorry for piling on, but I been there, hard lesson to learn. Don't feel too bad, if it weren't for failure at experimentation, nothing would ever get invented.

Can anyone give insight on which is the most bang for your buck, in this case quite literally....
I am seriously considering an element scope, under 1k.
Does anyone have opinions or experience on which one would be the best choice....
50-100yd ++ target and hunting would be it's use.

Thank you anyone and everyone.

It will of course be mounted on fx no limits and be used on an fx impact M4 .30 and .35 cal rifle....

athlon Heras BTR gen 2 , 6-24x56 better bang for the buck

@Iowa Airgunner - time out! Hey the minimum parallax on this scope is 25 yards - no bueno for Hft

You are correct. I picked the wrong one. I am looking for a FFP 10-25 x56 with a magnetic side wheel and illumination. I have an Aztec Emerald 5.5-25 with a JD custom wheel.
But it does not have illumination. And I have another gun that needs a scope.

This is the one I was thinking about.

I was at the local sporting goods store today and found this holster for tye 78g in the bargain bin for $7.99

bchannell · Jun 20, 2025

As you may know I got a Accushot 3-12X44 on a trade and the mildot reticle is just a tad to thick for precision shooting. Since I really liked the scope really well, and was surprised at the lens quality I decided to take a look at the OP3 version of these scopes which is a bit of a step up, and with a very thin reticle. I found an amazing deal on Amazon (it might have been a mistaken price, for researching around the net), so I bought the 3-12X44 and it was fantastic. Later, the 4-16x version was the $10 more, so I bought one of them too. I have now checked out both on my Crown, Sniper and Dream Tac and they are simple great. All are clear, even up to 16x, I mean really clear. The tracking is right on also, which is a pure surprise to me. AO is darn close, maybe a bit off on the 3-12x, but close. No matter what it focuses very clear. I'm completely blown away by how well these scope are built.

Gripes, a few, but none are major at all.
* I wish they have more than 3" eye relief, but on the other hand it makes mounting on airguns much easier, as most have short receivers like the Crown and Sniper.
* The reticle is lighted, but only the center cross, I wish the whole reticle lit up, but hey, that's lots of scopes.
* The color picker is a bit wonky. It works as it should, but it's just weird how the colors go on the non red/green choices, but hey red/green work great.

That's really about it, they are super deals, so we'll see how they last. I've had UTG in the past, mostly the really cheap ones, and they worked ok, but were dark, didn't adjust well, and you know, they were just cheap stuff. But these new ones are really fine scopes.

I am in the process of finding a good combo pellet/slug and velocity for my AEA Challenger Bullpup .25. Today, while shooting a few 5-shots
groups I got these:
View attachment 571956

View attachment 571954
First group shot, 1" ctc, second group 3/8" ctc, third group 3/4". Same distance (32 yds.), same overall conditions. What can explain such a big difference between groups 1 and 2? Can something be concluded about the gun accuracy? This pattern of good/regular/poor groups repeat itself time and time again. Frustrating...

Yes, doesn't do any good.

Do you have other scopes?
or
is this the only one giving you issues?

What I have found is that using a thumb rest, either the one from AGR or go to a hardware store and buy a bolt and paint it black, makes cocking very easy and as easy as a side lever on my SL M-Rod. These two M-Rod .25 rifles have the AGR thumb rest. It is a machine piece and does take blue. I also have done similar with stainless steel bolt.

The way it works is that you place your thumb on the rest and grasp the bolt inward as close to centerline as possible and then squeeze your hand like squeezing a rubber ball. Now, I have large hands and worked as a mechanic some so they are pretty strong. A small child or woman might not have the grasp or reach but I figure most folks would have no issue there.

I use a white lithium grease on the bolt. The suggestions by AGR in post #4 are spot on.

Bolt size and thread? I often use my thumb on the back of the cap...but I can see that a little extra length would be mo bettah.

PLEASE DO NOT DO WHAT I DID AND RECOMMENDED. My CS2 quit today, I think the overload tripped, while filling my Caiman. It was only at about 150 bar so pressure was not high. It had been working fine. I started taking it apart and that washer I installed to seal the area is missing. It was too big to fall in and was trapped but I am worried I did not anticipate how far towards the piston the washer projected. The piston does not seam damaged except for a slight scratch but somehow that washer went somewhere and I am worried it got chewed on enough it went inside the cylinder. I cannot move the piston and from the position it is in I cannot get the rod off the crankshaft to complete the disassembly. I will continue to mess with it but I may have ruined my CS2. I would hate for anybody else to have a similar experience. I wish now I had left that area open as several of you recommended. Or at least plugged it with a plastic washer that could not do damage. The washer I used was mild steel.

I use a Atlas bipod, no help with rest but I do use the PRS bag rider for a squeeze bag but can be used with a solid rest to. It does not interfere with the butt pad.

Your gauntlet still set up from factory or did you do some modifications?

I have a Challenger Pro 30 and I usually prefer shooting my Gauntlet 30. Even though the AEA has a wider range of adjustment.

The long barrel 30 is going to be pretty crazy shooting anything other than very heavy slugs unless you turn that thing down a lot.

The Guantlet 30 has perfect power for shooting 65 grain slugs.

Did you have to do much work to your gauntlet or you feel it was ready to go out of the box? Wanting a gauntlet 30 myself

I love my .257 LLS Texan and would not consider selling. However and this is just my opinion, after the Ton Jones video claim of a world record, it left a bad taste in my mouth. Again, just my opinion that Airforce sales moved in a slightly different direction after the video claim. Just like the nose on your head, everybody has one. An "Opinion" ....

I have the .308 and the good thing about them and the Airforce line, you can make them yours by changing the looks, Mad Dog stocks, TalonTunes, Pyramyd Air, TopAirGun for all kinds of parts.

That's exactly my barrel size, .3055. I have a slug press which I had made in .3063 (ordered before I slugged barrel because everything I read said .3063) so I got a sizer from NOE, ordered in .305 but is actually .3047 but it's shooting MOA or less at 100yards so I'm happy. Maybe I'll have NOE make one in .3055 but in no hurry

Lol funny but not funny I almost did the same thing but decided i would wait till i had vulcan in hand and barrel slugged first. Crappy part is corbin stuff been on order since last December

My v3 hp .30 does 970 with 62.5 gn avs with factory settings i have corbin press set up on the way. My barrel measures .3055 so hopefully better fitting slugs are more efficient.

OK good to know I will look at their one piece if the webpage is fine. But it keeps giving me that warning not to go to it because they lost their whatever for their webpage that it could be an imposter trying to steal my personal information.

Thanks for all the replies. Currently evaluating and likely going to go with the UTG rail above.

Those rings are 1” UTG Pro low for reference. The rail fits perfect as it is one piece(slips on), no tilting etc.

Also the recoil stop holes go all the way through on the TX, it looks blocked but that is the trigger block. Don’t tighten the stop pin against it or you won’t get the trigger block back out. Use purple loctite 222.
