Matt Stajduhar certainly does! He cleared the RMAC 2025 waterbed course 10/10!

Having owned waterbeds from the early '70's I have to admit i have never had any experience involving air guns and a waterbed !

What a funky gun because 3 days later I went to try to air it up in the chance it wouldn't leak and guess what, now the darn thing takes all 4000 psi so I've been putting lead down range?! Last Wednesday I let some other guys shoot it and there's no challenge on a larger steel at 150Y in 10-15 mph winds. I took a few shots and was hitting the leg of a full size ram. I did miss it a few times left and right but the ones that hit made a small group.

BTW the trigger is working normally again.

I bought a bunch of steel to set on my property. They are the Shooting Target 7 NRL22 AR500 semi spinners. Have 11 total because they gave me two because I surpassed the money amount they set. Anyway I can't recommend these enough and a "far superior" system used than any company selling steel so far.

I tried Zan 28gr slugs yesterday for the first time and NOPE it wouldn't work out because of huge flyers. 2-3 touching at 100Y and then one 4" away. It only took 15 shots to abandon the notion of using these. I'll try Zan 33gr next.

Man those Altaros 32.2 grain shoot well as usual. My farthest steel is 132Y away and I was able to put in some 1" to 1.2" groups with 3-4 out of 5 making a large splat. This was in the wind too. That .18 G1 BC makes quite a big difference at 49 fpe!
When this gun works it's impressive!

POI shifts from different shooting sessions are small or not present which is a positive reason I like the gun. I've been laying the gun on both sides because of how and where I store it and also with some other guns on top of it with a blanket in between them so I haven't been nice to it. If I ever take it to a match again it'll be in topmost place a few days before though.

There is no plenum in the complete as far as I can tell and N2 is heavier than air which will cause the fps to be slower. If you are comparing the 2 rifles it's like apples to oranges. Another thing you need to consider is the exhaust port size difference.

Hey. One more question that I forgot to ask. When doing my chronograph testing, overall the velocities were super consistent. Like within a couple FPS either way. But on a couple occasions, one shot out of the string would drop a full 10 fps. Would that be an indicator that it needs a little more tension on the hammer spring?

More than likely those pellets were slightly heavier than advertised… the further you get into the hobby you’ll see some talk about “sorting and weighing” pellets… it’s mostly for competition shooters and long range shooters but it’s to minimize deviations like that.

Good luck. I have had to use four rings and still they would try to move. Not worth the effort IMO.

I have a HW50 (new style wood stock) with a stainless coating, it is definitely not galvanic, but in any case it is more practical than the usual one, it is not afraid of water.

nickel alloy is most likely might be some variant of a Cerakote but i doubt that .

I am looking to get an air rifle for pest control up to the size of foxes or coyotes. I like the idea of a pcp but I don’t have it in the budget to get a big tank or a compressor so I would have to a hand pump. I would need the gun ready for when I needed it, can you leave a pcp charged for an extended period time or would it damage it?

There are no spring guns IMO that can ethically be thought to be useful on a coyote. I have taken coyotes with my .25 M-Rod set to near maximum power, .25, 34 grain pellet at 960 fps which is around 70 fpe and far more than any spring gun can generate.

You would be better off to get a good .22 rifle, a properly acquired, tax stamp legal .22 PB suppressor and some CCI Suppressor or Subsonic HP or Segmented rounds and even then coyotes can be tough, heck, even raccoons can be tougher, the big one can put up a fuss.

Got it all o-rings replaced. I'll air it up tomorrow to see if it holds air. Wasn't too bad to do. About the same as my Gen 1 Mrod in difficulty I'd say. We got 17.5 inches of rain here in southern Somerset County Pennsylvania last month! Had major flooding! Washed out main roads and bridges. Worst I've seen in probably 35 years. Our usual monthly May average rainfall should be around 5 inches.

Did you fix the air leaking at the end? I have several videos in my YT channel but are in Spanish, anyway sometimes can help to see how to fix some issues. Taipan is easy to fix and one of the best airguns overall. Greetings

Just checking Gerry, since you did not mention the gun model - are you sure it is regulated? That could have a lot to do with it . . .

I have a .22 caliber Air Ranger with a 17" barrel, and it came from the factory set up as a 50 FPE gun, and it could do that with heavy pellets (it made 48 FPE with JSB Beasts at 33.9 grain, and I was able to tune it up to 50FPE). It is an unregulated gun, and the sweet spot of the power curve was 2900 psi at that power level (so a 3175 gave me about 25 shots with an ES of 1.5%).

I found I was able to easily tune it down by making shorter hammer spring spacers, and could set it up as low as about half the energy shooting 16 grain pellets at about 24 FPE - using about an 1800 psi fill for the same count and ES as above).

By the way, the gun stated that the max fill was 250 bar (so 3625 psi), but it would always be in at least partial valve lock at that pressure - it would fire, but at a much lower speed. I found no matter how I tuned it, the max fill for keeping it under 3% ES at max power was about 3300 psi. Also, the hammer in those 50 FPE Air Rangers is heavy - a bit over 100 grams if I recall correctly. That said, it has a great snappy shot cycle at the lower power tunes and is a joy to shoot like that, so that is where it lives now (~32 FPE) - I even fabbed an internal SSG for it so it works great as a very high shot count plinker too - if I'm willing to tolerate a ~70 FPS ES on a 930 FPS max speed, I get over 100 shots on a 2400 psi fill (shooting from 2400 down to about 1500 psi). That SSG made a huge difference on the backside of the curve, as the hammer used to bounce and waste air like crazy, but now it just fires once with a little less speed . . . .

Anyways, that is an unregulated data point at high power with a shorter barrel . . . .

I am new to airguns; what is an SSG? Also the gun in question is the inexpensive, Komplete. It is regulated at 1800 psi, though I have no way to verify it. I am very happy with it and am just trying to learn different ways of tuning it for higher power. Right now I'm getting about 32 fpe with HAWKi 25.3 grn pellets, which is fine for what I intended it for, but I couldn't reconcile the shorter barrel performing better than the longer barrel gun, everything thing else being equal, almost (I don't know the regulated pressure of the short-barreled gun.). But, what you appear to be telling me is that the pressure is much greater, 2900 psi, in the unregulated gun you have, and that is how your extra energy is accomplished (?).

If I’m reading that right looks like 6 shots on reg. Honestly not as much as I’d expect, but still clearly showing the merits of a 7000psi fill imo. Compare this to an umarex hammer which has roughly the same air capacity and reg setting but a 4500psi fill, it’ll only make 2-3. I’ve had my own experiences with aea/bintac qc shenanigans but I can’t fault them for trying and bringing to market something new. They’re certainly not known for air efficient guns so it’d be cool to see other brands exploring the higher fill pressures as well.

Yeah I think is will wait

I Can’t speak for HFT , but for hunting and pests the HW97K .177 will take rabbits and other small animals / Birds no problem at closer ranges -I have both .177 and .22 and while different they both are good. I generally shoot my .177 mostly inside 25 yards, and have taken plenty pests out with both calibers.

I prefer a wood stock, but got I to admit I shoot the synthetic stocked HW97 better than my other HW97’s.

I'm working on holding 3-6 card local matches. 3 relays in the morning, 3 in the afternoon. I was trying for this summer but I have to wait for September to gain membership at the club with the facilities to do so.

Don't be discouraged by anything you see on here. If you have a vision, and the ambition to see it through, i say make it happen. You never know, you may have several in your area who want to play, but you'll never find out unless you give it a go. Whether it comes together or not, have fun in the process.

I haven't had mine long, and have so far only shot it on my backyard 25 yard range. And with .22 cal JSB 15.89's it stacks pellets in semi-auto mode as I have it set up with a scope (I'm using the zero eye relief MTC Viper-X 3-12). 15.89 domes only slightly more accurate as compared to FX Atomic hollow points. About 1"+ groups @ 25 yards with a full-auto magazine dump if you hold things as steady as you can. Both of these figures are shot off a bench with front bipod and rear sandbag. So measuring accuracy of the gun more than that of the shooter.

At the power my gun is set for (22 FPE, and I haven't tried to adjust it since receiving it), it would really only be good for the small pesting (ground squirrels) I have been known to do. And I'm darned certain that it would have at least 'minute of squirrel noggin' accuracy at 50 yards.

The Mordax was my introduction to SubMOA barrels. Since then I have also traded for a Brocock Sonoran, also with the SubMOA barrel, but this time in .30 cal and of rifle length. I enjoy the accuracy of both my guns with SubMOA barrels.

Thanks for sharing. For me it'll be a small hunting gun along with all my other air guns for tree squirrels. Max distance for me would be around 80 yards. Even with the Mordax being out for some time, there's not a lot of videos on it.

I would like the same as you Rudy but I wouldn't pay the money for such a scope anymore for FT. I think the closest I had was a March 5-42 1st Gen which had a thick enough reticle to use at 16x/FMLTR1. It had super ranging ability because of the finicky parallax focus, in other words it had to be set just right to get it perfectly clear. However by 37x the IQ started to suffer greatly and at 42x the IQ was dim and a little blurry. At 16x the IQ was really nice though.
The G2's are supposed to be better at higher magnification.

Next is my S&B PM2 5-25. It ranges decently and the H59 reticle is .05 mil thick.

Have to really strain a nat to get better IQ at 16x than these.
