What did you order / receive airgun related today? Thread

Received my extra magazines for my .25 Bullshark yesterday evening. Quick test, felt good to be able to shot 40 rounds with out stopping to refill magazines, also shots down to my 150bar reg setting.
NOE .250-27 pellet mold just arrived. Didn't know these came with additional pins so can do 3 different grain weights. Will have to test them all. Cleaned mold and have it seasoning in the oven. Once I finish lunch I'm going to heat up the lead pot.
Guess what I'll be doing tomorrow. 🤔

Diana  Springer Shooting Technique

O
r1lover said:
A lot of answers will steer you in the same direction, but you gotta arrive at the recipe that works best for you. Identify and focus on the points that have the greatest influence on accuracy; fore end hand positions, firmness of fore end grip, cheek position, cheek contact pressure (lots, little, none), firmness of butt against shoulder, etc., then experiment. Absolutely resting the fore end on a firm surface will kill accuracy just as an inconsistent hold and a lot of "twang" (spring vibration) will. It's generally accepted that a firm grip is a no-no with a spring gun but I had a Beeman Kodiak .25 that had to be held very firmly to get good groups. A good starting point for anyone with a "magnum" spring gun is an aftermarket spring/guide/seal kit that fit together properly to minimize twang. Did you buy your gun new? The 350 is a powerful gun I believe should shoot 8.4's faster than 888 fps. Have you checked a string to see if the MV is consistent and there isn't something else going on? Maybe some other owners can chime in. Also try shooting heavier pellets like JSB 10.34's to see how they group. Good luck.

The 350 barrel date is 04/06 ,so it's 19 yo. I put a new 12 ft lbs spring kit in it. It's now running smooth , when I took it apart the original spring was broken that was the problem. Shot some same hole groups now.

Umarex Airsaber 2x won’t fill

Gerry52
I don't see any mention of whether you leak checked any and ALL fittings and hardware on compressor. Most NEW compressors having leaks are usually something as simple as a fitting not being tightened down or a bad Dowty seal (bonded washer). A spray bottle with a soapy solution is your friend when trying to track down leaks. Have you searched youtube for maintenance videos on your compressor?

Ya that's my problem! ..my budget allows me to get more if I buy used i think. That will help as the scope will be another 2k. That's why I want to get the rite rifle...I can't afford 2 3 or even 4 rifles I need one that does it all. For the money I feel like that's not too much to ask?

A .30 caliber is going to require A LOT of air. How are you going to fill it? You are going to need a tank and a compressor. Will have to budget accordingly.

I agree completely. Life is too short to have only one PCP. I settled on five. And a couple of pistols but they don't count. Really, it's fine. Well I might need one or two more now that I think about it. :)

Airgun Technologies  Uragan 3 Magazine Problems

IKnowNutin
So to add to my rushed previous post, here's what the pellets looked like when the misfeed would occur with AGT mags. When I would clear the rifle some would be wedged in the mag and some would actually be wedged back in the probe's recess, requiring a pick to dig them out! Hades were the most susceptible and are the ones in the pic. I was attempting to take multiple shots up into the trees and found it impossible to cycle the action at any upward angle. Same thing with the Eagle Vision mags, which was really disappointing as they are very nice pieces otherwise. I initially thought the probe might be bent however that does not appear to be the case after having 100% success with the Orion mags with all the ammo.

Anyone else have experience with this issue? I found a couple of threads with an older Uragan and a Vulcan that seemed similar but not much else.

What springer did you shoot today?

Mycapt65 said:
I use a comparable powered 177 Hw50 for an offhand walking air rifle. I use a fixed 4X, non AO, mildot scope with a 25 zero. Most of my targets will be close enough to that 25 yards there's not much hold over or under to consider. It's point and shoot. If I stretch it out to 50 yards I'm at 3/4 mil and at 93 yards IIRC I'm at 3 mils. Its easier to remember no hold over for most practical shots and use the reticle for the longer stuff. I almost never shoot past 50 yards offhand with air rifles any way.

Non AO is a blessing in a hunting scope, as it is always in focus regardless of whatever distance a target suddenly pops up at. Fixed power keeps your hold overs from changing with magnification. Trying to remember holdovers is hard enough at one magnification. forget remembering the infinite amount of holdovers throughout your magnification range. Then add to that ten other rifles. That's why I have only one walking rifle with a simple fixed power scope. Less is more.

What caliber is your 35E. I know it isn't 20.
Click to expand...
Yes true. The 35e is a .22 cal. I didn't even recall which .22 cal I used to zero it.

I learned that lesson many years ago when my accuracy took a major hit changing from my 3/4 inch tube Tasco 4x to a Weaver 1" tube 3x9x.
My ability to judge distance and holdovers was gone, and I learned what parallax was! 👍

BTW I shot those cans at various ranges with only occasional misses with the 65 Sheridan, and I multy shot them full of holes.
I grew up carrying a Sheridan in the woods. 😁

All of them. Lol, it all comes down to preference. Right or left cocking, weight, trigger feel, shot cycle, etc. So many uses or needs as well.

I feel like an accurate rifle at the bench should hit target on game as well...weight would be the factor i suppose but weight can be added and removed i think?
Click to expand...
The mora is a nice rifle, FX panthera/dynamic, Skout, Daystate. There are tons for benchrest as well. I have a nice USA made Skout Epoch in the classifieds, there are a couple Raw hm1000 in the classies also US made. Daystate delta wolf is in the classifieds, and also karma red panda. Any of those will do what you want.

What did you order / receive airgun related today? Thread

I went to Midway USA, and seen that Chiana 240 for $99
easy to cock little springer.
Then as I was about to purchase it. I spotted the
Diana 250 gas ram with a thumb hole stock for $99.
I thought it was a mistake , but it was legit. I ordered that instead. This will be my very first gas ram rifle I ever owned. I got it in .22 , and ordered a tin of pellets to bring price over 99.99 only needed a penny , but got free shipping over a $100. OV.

Air Venturi  Avenge x .25

R
The pin does not go through the plastic piece and only a small hole is utilized to hold the guide pin. Makes me wonder if you got a defective part originally or the piece sheared off somehow. Looking at the Pyramyd Air Air Venturi schematic page for the Avenge-X, I see the entire unit is being sold as a 'kit'. That is a good price as several years ago just the poppet cost me $40 for my Nova Liberty. Hope you are able to get it repaired and shooting soon.
