N/A  Minimal tuning and accurate pcp rifle?

Thanks.

Do you happen to know if a cylinder can be added to a .22 cal x Sniper XR Magnum? I could swear I saw other BRK models that could have a cylinder vs. bottle added. Air and shot count is not an issue.

Tom
Check out this post by a fellow member who did just that. Good luck!

STO Big Bore moderators

I just finished up my test with the moderators. They were almost equal in sound but the ronin had a deeper tone. The STO felt quiet, but had a sharp higher note that pierced my ear more. Not sure if that makes sense. It was almost quieter but louder at the same time. The ronin was almost louder but in the right tone.

I fired around 50 shots in a row with the ronin and then switched to the STO and it was instantly noticeable that my ears felt it more. The first time I took the texan out to shoot it I screwed on a kami for a .72 cal on it and that is what the STO reminded me of. They both had this higher pitch that breaks through to the ear. I will try the muzzle brake when it comes in and if I see a difference in recoil and group size ill probably just run the brake and call it good, if not it will stay with the ronin.

The STO might have had some clipping. The 1st 2 shots were near where the ronin was hitting then the next 2 shots were 12" left of that, but still next to eachother. I swapped back to the ronin and shots were back on target. Accuracy was good with the ronin. The sub moa barrel lives up to the hype if you do your part and can manage the recoil.

I would not recommend the STO over the ronin for 500fpe. If anyone knows of a noticeably quieter option than the ronin please let me know, but I dont think it gets much quieter for the size than the ronin. My ronin has seen 2-300 rounds of 500fpe so far with no issues.

Compressed Air to N2

I was taught to swap. Make it pure nitrogen. I’m thinking about going to nitrogen. I have a friend who rented 2 8k psi tanks then filled his 4500 psi 9 L tank then filled his guns
That is my plan. Initial cost of regulator is kinda pricy. But still cheaper than a compressor.

The best donut holes anywhere, found only at the Open Grove matches. :ROFLMAO:
The first match wind was my friend, during the second match the wind and I, we fought to the bitter end, only meeting in the middle.
Beautiful day, great people and lots of fun.
Thank you Joe.

Chilling your tank before topping off

For what it's worth, I use an Omega Supercharger for my Brancato Great White and have been filling to ~4700 psi cutoff which cools to just over 4500. But I made the newbie mistake of leaving the full tank in my car on a not-even-terribly-hot Texas day (windows open, sunshade on the windshield) and blew the 5.5k burst disc. Luckily it worked as intended, no harm done and a cheap repair but I admit it did sphincter me up a bit!

Daisy  Daisy front sight inserts 753

let me state the obvious
the 853 inserts are small and only used on that and 853c fix globe sight muzzle weight
the 753 globe sight uses 17.2mm Anschutz inserts but the globe sight uses a bastard size dovetail
they are sold at Daisy for 5 bucks and PA wants 8.99 and with the Air Venturi name 33.99 all the same globe sight the sight and muzzle weight upgrade for the 853 is 5 bucks for the weight and 5 buck for the sight and the rear sight will have be up graded to the Daisy FWB clone
Daisy sells the 853 inserts for 2 bucks the shipping well be 3 times that

the good enough design makes inserts that will work will and the Weihrauch on should excite the HW owners because HW has never offered much

Lets see those pistols turned carbine!!!

I never thought I would be posting in this section (a pistol is a pistol and a rifle is a rifle, right) but I have had a lot of fun today with this folding stock on my HW45.

The red dot wasn't up to the job, so that will be changed for something more robust, but I am definitely hooked.

Diana  China vs Germany

What Razor62 said. Diana Eleven, Two-forty, Two-Fifty and Two-Sixty are Chinese springers upgraded some and QC'd more than most. So, if you are looking for a better Chinese gun, get one of those, at the power level and stock material of your choosing.

German-made Dianas are the 280, 34, 34 EMS, 350 Mag, 48, 52, 54, 56 and 460 Mag (some of those recently retired from the production line) plus literally dozens of older models; Diana has been making airguns for c. 130 years, way longer than any other manufacturer currently in business.

German-made Dianas are simply great guns. Diana bashing is a favorite pastime for some, but that's based mostly on frivolities such as current Diana trigger guards being made of tough plastic instead of pot metal as on Weihrauchs. When it comes to accuracy, consistency, dependability, and durability, things that actually matter in a gun, Dianas are not an iota lesser guns than Weihrauchs. Taste is another matter altogether.

I've had more issues with my four Weihrauchs than with my eight Dianas, to date.

If you are looking for a .22 cal springer, you can forget Weihrauch - their .22 cal barrels are mostly terrible. I've yet to have a bad barrel on a .22 cal Diana.

One thing I like about Dianas is that they actually shoot what the manufacturer claims. Weihrauchs only shoot what the company states with Hobbies, or the lightest-weight lead pellets available, wadcutters with terrible BC. Dianas shoot the (much higher) claimed velocities with FTT's, or real-world long-range / hunting pellets. That has been my experience.

Many people compare a middling Weihrauch to a magnum Diana and exclaim how the Diana was harder to shoot accurately, harder to cock, noisier etc., without taking into account the magnum Diana puts out 50% more muzzle energy! Apples to oranges, big time.



When it comes to high-power springers that are actually highly accurate, Diana is about the only game in town. They are true gamegetters, for decades on end.
This is good news to me. I been looking for something to replace my gamo. Settled on a 350 mag or the 54

Are .22 Monster RD pellets dead?

Thanks for the data points, Gents: my experience is that the AEA seem to have better QC upon my brief visual inspection, I just need time to verify with accurate groupings before I order a bunch more... I have brief bouts of glory with them but not consistently enough to switch over entirely. This is with 10.3 and 13.7 .177s as well as 50.5 .30 caliber. Thanks!
