She can shoot but I don't know how well and need further conversations to see how she looks at the problem. I have suggested a 22 pb with CB caps or shorts. There are neighbors and pb's are illegal within town limits so there's that . She lives next to and has property down to a river so really only a neighbor on one side. Noise could be a concern... don't know ...

I thought about an 850... quite decent rifles, but no longer made afik.
II had a Maximus and would sell her my Disco before pushing toward that.

6Gun, I like your builds but not sure about the robustness for novices and still have the air source issue.

I was more hoping someone would come up with something current that I haven't thought of. Finding an F model Sheridan still sounds like the most perfect option ... I'm just not ready to sell mine, or even loan it. A Tau 7 with a rifle stock add on could be pretty sweet too... I think my 22 Tau is right at 10 ft lb and has been good on tree rats and very accurate .

I will check out the 2078 as well...

So thanks all for the thoughts. I will chat more with her about it in a week when she returns from an adventure ...

Quadruple tie for first place with 730 points! Italians and South Africans took the first 5 places. Great performance.
I would like to know if they used slugs or pellets.

Hahaha they used slugs mate.... Aussies used pellets and got completely smashed. But it's all learning for us.

Orings are cheap and poop quality from the factory. Last about 1yr. Kits are $40 I believe. There is some schematic out there. I completely resealed 3 avgx. Anywhere air would touch and I could find. Worked fine. Back to shooting well. Now a rusty barrel is my issue. After 2years and thousands of pellets.

SA team guys did really good. I heard scores are lower than expected. Mike got 6th place. I heard Mike may have Gold in 3-Gun.

Mike & Jeff in top10. Lots of ties broken by Xs.

Hey everyone, thanks for all the recs! I didn't see all these helpful response until now. Going through them all..

I've had a lot of regrets over the years buying guns and accessories spontaneously. No regrets with Joe B tank whatsoever, it even gets compliments at the range.

I use a side scope with an iPhone XR. For the cost it’s great and really easy to get up and running.

It was a tricky shoot. Lots of wind for 50m UL Air. Us Aussies learned a bunch from everyone. Italy was the dark horse with a very strong team in 50m Air. That Panthera was hammering.

boscoebrea · Monday at 10:42 PM

get a RWS 850,it is the best thing ,ok then the CO2 rifle,a trap is a better solution,or isn't it?....

Sounds like ground squirrels to me, they can devastate crops. Seedlings and fruit are especially tasty to the pups and litters are large!

Hello my friends!

Please enjoy this video review & owner's guide on the new 2025 Spec Karma Red Panda .30, in which I run the gun through my usual detailed tests & evaluation, but also come up with a "Custom AEAC Universal Tune" for it, that performs at a high level with both pellets and slugs... evaluated at 100 yards, 8 times over, and across 6 different brands of pellet & slug.

If you post questions you have in the comments section of the video and/or here, I'll be sure to get them answered!

Thanks!!

Steve

Nice!

Hey there airheads!

The other day we sent out an email talking about all the years of experience we’ve had working with airgunners around the world—chasing down the best sound suppression possible in the airgun game. We got some great responses back, and thought, why not bring the conversation here to Airgun Nation and keep it going?

One of the big topics that came up was how air volume and internal design, whether it’s a monocore or traditional baffle stack, actually affect the shot report. Sure, there are computer models that can predict airflow and potential decibel reduction, but the reality is airguns behave very differently than firearms. They have their own quirks in how large volumes of air get expelled and how we tame that sound. Even though DonnyFL and airgun suppressors in general have been around for a while now, the science of airgun silence is still very much evolving.

When Donny first started this company, it was a lot of good old-fashioned trial and error. Just the other day, Yolanda was reminiscing about those early days, how she and Donny would stand out in the field doing A/B tests, swapping moderators back and forth, and listening closely to the differences in tone and volume. No meters. No fancy charts. Just honest, real-world feedback about what our ears told us worked best.

Over time, we’ve added sound meters and other R&D tools to the process, but we’ve learned something important: feedback from real shooters still matters more than any number on a screen. A meter might tell you it’s “quieter,” but your ears can reveal something completely different, especially downrange.

So how do you choose the right suppressor? It’s not as simple as picking the “quietest” one on the list. Caliber and power tuning matter, a hot-rodded .22 PCP can be just as loud, or louder, than a .22LR rimfire. Barrel system design plays a role too. Shorter barrels often have a sharper, louder report, while longer barrels can be sensitive to weight on the muzzle and may not play nicely with a heavy suppressor.

Then there’s how you actually use your rifle. In competition, suppression might not be the top priority, you might be more focused on how a suppressor can influence barrel harmonics. On the other hand, if you’re pesting in your backyard or working in a sound-sensitive area, maximum suppression becomes a must-have.

The quick and dirty rule is that more internal volume usually means better airgun suppression. But that’s oversimplifying it. Tone matters just as much, and in some cases, going with a really long moderator may hurt the balance or handling of your rifle.
We’re working on a comprehensive air rifle suppressor selection guide to help make those decisions easier. In the meantime, we want to hear from you. The best part about the DonnyFL community has always been the feedback we get from real shooters. We started out as a grassroots company right here in the online forums, and that community-first approach will always be part of who we are.

So, how do you judge airgun suppressor effectiveness? Is it tone, volume, group size, or a mix of everything? Got a favorite testing method you trust? Let’s make this thread a go-to resource for anyone looking to get the most out of their airgun sound suppression. Also, check out our full lineup of airgun moderators and air rifle suppressors!

Invicta Field Target match August 9th

Four guys came out to the match, temperatures were perfect, was a little breezy just to add some spice! I altered lane nine recently, because for the last four matches no one had missed the first two targets, so I decided to make that lane a little more like Roz Sumpter's lane five on his old course, and removed the full size kill on the middle lane, put the close target in its place and put a reduced kill, maybe 1/2 as the close target..... Danny won the whole thing with a score of 53. All in all, a really great morning of FT fun, thanks for all who came out to play, I know you enjoyed it!

Hope to see you guys at the next match, the season is starting to wind down, we have six matches left this year, don't miss out!

God Bless

Looking for a 700mm epic two barrel to test out. preferably in .22 thank you!

igolfat8 · Monday at 9:43 PM

I spent some time testing today using my RAW .30 HM 1000X LRT @100Y. I was testing JSB 44, FX 44 and AEA 45 pellets with and without lube. I was also testing an Impulse Air moderator. It’s an interesting design that allows you to remove or add sections to increase or decrease the OAL. This in turn increases or decreases the overall report of the rifle but more importantly it changes the weight which in turn changes the barrel harmonics. It made a noticeable affect on the accuracy and each time I removed a section the POI significantly moved. It’s very effective and worthy of testing if you are so inclined? I also tested a Donny FL Sumo, Ronin and Tanto. However, after significant testing my particular HM 1000X LRT had the best accuracy with a Donny FL Tanto.

I shot my last set of targets shooting just one bull at a time, then indexing to the next one, shooting it and so on until I had been around the targets 5 times, ending up with 5 individual shots in each bull. This is more in line with shooting a match, one bull at a time, instead of just staying in one place and shooting groups. Since a card consists of 25 bulls and the targets I shot totaled 30 bulls so I omitted scoring my lowest bull score.

Winds were constant 7-9 and constantly switching. It was a challenging day but I am gradually getting the hang of it. I’m certainly no expert 100Y shooter but merely sharing my experience. It’s in preparation for the upcoming PAC and hopefully I won’t finish dead last?

Well, from a guy with a Crown Mk2 and, at one time, 10 or so barrels, I can tell you that some barrels just don't get it. Out of more than 10 barrels I've owned, it's only happened once. I had trouble with a barrel that would shoot "decent" then the next thing you know, it was pretty sad. Changing the spacer spacing, cleaning, etc and it still only shot reasonably well, but not good compared to all the other barrels I've had. If it were me, I'd get a different liner and try that. I might add that I had two of the exact same barrels and one was great and one was not so good. Just to give you an idea, one would shoot dime size, and often single hole groups at 33 yards, the other on it's best day ever, with it's favorite ammo would almost shoot quarter size groups at that distance. It also exhibited random fliers, which at the time I blamed on the ammo, but who knows, I don't see that behavior with any of the other barrels.

You have $1100 worth of barrels. I would send them back to FX and demand credit under warranty.
