What power is needed?

Click to expand...

good question / ?
paper punching - none really.
head shot / kill shot def. more.
plinking a can... not much.
Ringing a steel plate at 100 + yards... a bit more.
bucking the wind esp over distance, prob. more to get it there on target?
Certainly Power generated for the sake of power is (in airguns) defeating the purpose.
More power always means using more air, this means it will be louder and you will have to refill more often.

Not trying to improve, I'm just over the power limit for field target.
Only need it reduced one ft. lb.

Well it appears air rifles are not welcome to compete against 22lr by the official FB group rules. I had a question about leaderboards and record scores, and was promptly informed we're not in the cool club. It's a shame really. Not the way I expected the conversation to go.

LOL! That's funny in one way but not in the other way. Just a few years ago shooting airguns in PRS and NRL with pellets was almost a joke and now with slugs it's almost the opposite.

They took notice when you did that well at Long Gong and they "feared the worst", lol.

Darn, hindsight is 20/20 but you shouldn't have showed your hand right off. Who could resist it though, right?!

Probably isn't worth the travel, time, and expense, but will they let you shoot for fun, meaning not for prizes, or standing?

Yes you can tune the PROD down and it will almost certainly be more accurate than a 1322.
I'd give the PROD a go with the wadcutters 1st unless you just want to tune it down

I just set it on the bench and it reads fine. No rubber bands or rods.

How much does it cost to shoot a Match? New guy here trying to get gear and setup to start HFT.

if dumps all air, you need more. Remove all pump head space if possible or larger valve volume with more pumps.

Meh

Sometimes I can't believe this is the same company that was light-years ahead of the game with the Rogue.

Another long bottle gun...
Great

Wonder if aka Crosman (Gamo) will sell parts like in the past...

I started to see the fx pocket crono sale in the forum. I had seen some show how they had attached it to their barrel. I can find anything in the search now. I thought I would start a thread. How do you attach your FX Pocket Crono V1 to your rifle?
I just ordered mine for my Gauntlet. Thanks RS

I had a couple of extra scope rings laying around, a short piece of pvc pipe and some plastic wire ties and I made my own mount. It's easy to remove and mount on another rifle, is always pointed in the right direction. I didn't have a carbon fiber tube so pvc pipe was used.

Nothing special, I tried them some months ago and was unimpressed. The 25cal dome were the best, the .22 were all groups over 1" at 45 yards.

What is the tank pressure? Still 3000 or higher?

Nice

There are a few companies that come to mind:

1) Skout - First company to incorporate a spool valve into an airgun. Seemlessly transferring the very best paintball technology into an airgun. A perfect blend of electronic and pneumatic tech.

2) Huben - The first company to make a hammerless air rifle (revealed at IWA in 2015). More importantly they developed an entirely new valve! I don’t know the name of this valve but I like to call it the leaky valve since it never completely seals. There is a micro indentation on the surface of the valve that allows a small amount of air to bypass. It functions like a regulator with a heavy spring that regulate air flow in conjunction with the regulator. This is essential to the semi auto, hammerless operation of the rifle. Other companies have “utilized” this design such as: LCS and Western Airguns.

3) Edgun - instead of improving upon the design of another company, Ed chose to develop a unique semi auto, hammerless airgun. The incorporation of a pilot valve to open the main valve is a clever way to achieve semi-auto in an airgun.

4) Altaros - developed a way to create slugs with CNC technology. The results are extremely consistent weight and diameter. No need to sort or size these slugs. With their high BC they have quickly become a go to slug for competition shooters.

If the Diana 52 is in good shape then that’s a good deal. The 48, 52, and 54 all have the same powerplant, the 54 just adds the sled. If you’re going to be walking with it the 54 is much heavier.

Click to expand...

Its new. I want the sled, im 6'2" 260 lbs and bench 315 for fun. Im Law enforcement and on the SAR team. I hike and stay in good condition. I might get the 52 just because of how good of a deal it it

Maybe AGR can help us out and develop a tube kit, a carbon bottle kit and a short shroud carbine kit. Just to make it easier to do what I will do anyways. I prefer to purchase kits or mods but, if I have to, I can though it usually costs me more in the end than purchasing a ready made product not to mention frustration and do overs.

The long shroud and integrated suppressor has to go for my rifle. Looks like there will be plenty of plenum, good grief!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good morning, I tried 45g Zan slugs on my Vulcan 3 500 .30, but I got terrible results. However, with the JSB Diablo Exact 44g it was exceptional. I don't understand why the slugs aren't accurate on this air rifle.

Click to expand...

I'm pretty sure all the AGT guns in .30 use the CZ barrels. I have one on my Uragan 2 and had the same problems. You should look into Air velocity sport ammo. My barrel likes the .3063 slugs. I dont think having a 500mm barrel is going to make a ton of difference, your just not going to get quite as much of a shot count whan you rurn up your regulator. For me they like 930fps, but did ok a little slower as well. Best of luck!

NotSure2020 said:

What about the prod? Can I tune it down or I’m better off with the 1322?

Click to expand...

The only thing the two have in common is that theyre pellet guns.

Is cost a factor? 1322 is going to take wayy less flexing of the wallet muscle. Not $450-500, no compressor needed, open sights

I wonder if side lever means it will be a right hand only action again....

Click to expand...

In that little video that Chad did with Airgun advisor it is Ambi cocking so you can move the lever to the other side. Probably will still have to load from the right but with me being left-handed that's never been an issue I prefer to load my Mac from the right anyways

I’ll check later, I thought since it’s only doing 450fps it was dumping all air? I’ll check though.
Thanks

If that is the rifle that goes into production mine will either get a much smaller carbon bottle or a tube conversion if that is not a option. I will also cut that shroud to length and remove the fixed suppressor, just as I did on my Urban. I will not cut the barrel, as per the video the barrel is much shorter inside the shroud as is the current G2 M-Rod. I cut my shroud on two of my guns to get the length down to 39 inches and they still have an effective shroud, just not as effective. But, when quiet is the word of the day I can install my DFL suppressors.

Hopefully the synthetic stock is made of the same polymer/glass fiber material the Gamo Urban stock is made from which is excellent in feel and function.

I am sure there will be many mods available to shorten, lighten, increase power and all of that just as there are for many rifles today like the Notos, Gauntlet, FX guns and the old G1 and G2 M-Rods. it looks to be a fun rifle to mod.

I think the handle does look close to the magazine crowding the fingers but the handle also appears to be angle such that it will provide room, that is a good observation.

You know, Gamo, hey there, you could share this new platform across the Urban and Coyote. Just saying. My M-Rod bolt guns work fine and I rarely double charge, but my Urban, it is a constant worry, the bolt is too small and not tactile enough. The Urban really needs a side lever.

As to accuracy, between my current .25 M-Rods and the hammer forged .22 BSA Urban, it is a wash at 25 yards. At longer ranges the M-Rod wins because it has the power to get there and the Urban just does not.
