Thank you... i will do that because i have been putting alot of pellets through it in the last 2 days.
I also have robla barrel cleaner, should i run it with patches and then maybe put a brush through.
I dont wont to accedently damage the barrel.

Yeah, since it’s a steel barrel, you’re not gonna hurt it with a brass brush. Now, if it’s the stock scout barrel, which is aluminum with a Teflon coating definitely do not use any brushes in it.

I just got a reximex throne gen 2. My first pcp. I shot about 25 times and then the cocking handle wont stay in the home position. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Is it possible you double loaded?

The black slider on your gun right above the cocking handle is not traveling to the full forward position.

Pellet probe not seating fully or possibly the shaft bent.

Two hex nuts (2mm I think) cover the shaft going back to the probe and magazine.

If double loaded you may have to take a long wooden dowel and tap the pellets out.

Hello to eveyone.
I finally hit the range today and tried many different combinations during tuning.
I will need alot of help because all i got today was very tight groups and then flyers out of nowhere in all configurations (with very little wind , but high temps).
I promised photos of my rig and here you are , for anyone who likes Skouts (sorry about the quality).
I was using JTS 22.07gr at 970 to 985 fps 1460 HP 147 LP with the air stripper, Whisper mod and whisper mod with the insert(which by the way is the quietest).
Groups varied from 1/2 inch at 50 meters/55 yards to 2 inches.
I have indexed the barrel and my dwell is 24.
Let me know what you think and have a great shooting day.

So with a lothar Walter barrel I would try bumping your speed down to around 810 to 815.
With my Lothar walther barrel that seems to be the sweet spot. I have found so far.
Also, you might try turning your dwell down a whole bunch.
I found that with a higher dwell, I noticed a slightly increased point of impact shift.

just watched the RMAC 2025 video . watching the high power long distance guys bouncing around with recoil that looked like they were shooting .223 or 30 30 's powder burners .

You make some good points, Mike. The Expected Service Life (ESL) of any piece of equipment should be considered ahead of time. Including our joints. Laying in the parts known to be necessary down the road is a wise thing to do.

The Sheridan no longer has the appeal that it once had because it's become painful to pump.

Cheers,

You , and your suck target made me want a high-end springer real bad. I think you are the master , and I need your advice. I can someday get my credit cards paid off , and my next airgun I buy will be a springer , or a gas piston. Which do like best.? What rifle would you suggest for an old vet living on a fixed income. I've got sucked into the PCP rabbit hole real bad , or as you call it. Can of worms. Anyway because of you I'd love to have me the best springer , or gas ram money can buy , but can only do it once , so my friend what do you say. I hope I don't have to go through the hell you did , and I'm very sorry that happened to you. I love the thumbhole stock on the 97K the best it's , so beautiful, and always loved my Sheridan pumper in .20 cal

This long forgotten Daisy was found in a box in back of my attic crawl space when doing some electrical wiring. It will shoot but really about junk now. It was seriously used and abused and no telling how many pellets went through it. Can't recall how young I was, but shot a little bird with it right after I got it. Didn't kill the bird, I brought it in the house and ask dad if we could keep it and make it better. He made me take it outside and shoot it in the head to kill it. I recall crying about being made to do it. That's how I was taught that guns were made to kill and you don't shoot at it unless you mean to kill it. Definitely different times, they'd probably call that child abuse now, and want the kid to go to therapy because of it.

Decided to change my FX Royale 500 factory tune from the 25.39 grain to 33.95 grain JSB KING HEAVY pellets.

I used a bit if heat to free the Lok-tite on the Hammer Spring adjuster nut and cleaned out the residue. Then I needed to make a M16x1 jam-nut to lock the Hammer Spring adjuster nut and a tool to install it.

Fun little project made from a bit of brass bar and a couple of finishing nails.

Now I need some calm weather to start testing and tuning.

Cheers!

As someone who bought a springer for their first "high-end" air rifle, I would definitely recommend going with a PCP instead. There were several better performing options I could have gotten for the same amount of money, even with a pump included in the total.

I bought two PCP failures before I finally dug way down in my wallet and bought a Crown. Then I was finally satisfied.
With help here at AGN he shouldn't have that problem.

to me, springers are like wine in way that it’s a style of shooting that is acquired over time while pcp are like craft beer, lots of choices in the same price range but much easier appreciate and explore. i like wine but i like beer more than i like wine.

Springers were a taste i never fully acquired. The stop, fold, load and find your target again was just annoying.

And I like good, well aged pinot noir and good Belgian ales.

ARH seal works great. I have it in my 52 and 56. It’s the hard old school type. If you’re looking for the newer blue seal they switched to I have no idea.

This thread, like several others of recent, are opinion threads. The OP asked for the quietest and most accurate air rifle and IMO that is not a spring gun. We all give our opinions based on our life experiences. I have discovered PCPs. I appreciate your opinion that you are satisfied with your springer for your purposes but I would not be for my purposes. If you quote a person you can expect a response, agreeing or disagreeing, just saying. I am happy for you that you enjoy your rifle.

I like my Crown better for accuacy anyways.
I just wouldn't discount the ease and satisfaction of a good springer.

10M guns (FWB, Walther, Diana, Anschütz) have extremely durable mainsprings, in part because they are low-stress designs. My LG55's 60-yo. mainspring was perfect, even when the seller had cocked the gun before sending it my way.

Are all the pins/screws that operate the cocking leaver in place? And is there anything preventing the pellet probe being seated?

Ok here's my question.
I've worked on literally hundreds of triggers, powder burners and airguns. BUT, a while back I bought a Boss trigger to put in a Royale and could never get it to work. What is the trick to setting it up? When you buy it, you get a bag of parts. Assembling it is easy. Getting it to work is HARD.

I wish I knew all the

Thats what I am looking for, I really see 0 point in going with a 338 arc at this point. I just felt my fpe was too low for the shots i wanted to make. thanks for the input

Texan,xp,or swa which is same as pbba very reliable in my experience

100 yd groups with a pcp is slightly more difficult with a pcp than a 22 lr but just as rewarding if not a little more so. Fun just the same.

Sear in upside down?

Welcome to Airgun Nation , and the RABBIT HOLE. I have past gunsmith knowledge as well. Let me tell you it's a different world than PB's, and a lot more fun. Airguns namely PCPs are a lot more accurate than Powder Burners. PCPs with there high pressures , and all are a complete different world. I do miss my Galil , and my FAL , but in the end the Airgun is great backyard instead of range , ammo less expensive. Have fun.

I was at the range today. There are four lanes with three targets. Set from 15-50 yards at random positions. Killzones are 1 1/4 inch.
Shot an 84 shot course missed one . Because I was aiming with my dope card holdover but was nervous I needed to aim high. Well I was aiming high. But aiming higher put a nice 12 o’clock face plate mark on my new target. Just to mock me next time around. Zero wind.
It fell off the regulator at the long target in lane 13. I was waiting for it and it shot the next shot low I realized it and refilled my gun. So those two misses did not count. They were for science.
If I fill to 2800 psi I can shoot 86 shots .

I went to the range to test my Diana 48. There is something wrong with my scope. Kinda got a fish eye look to it and it won’t hold zero.
