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?

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?

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

O
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.

What would be a good first premium pcp? I've been looking at the RTI Mora, what others should I consider?
Click to expand...
If you are comfortable with .25 Cal, go for a Vulcan 3 700 mm.

Doubtless !

30-Yard Challenge

This is for the leadership spreadsheet

Stoeger Bullshark 22 with Athlon Argos 10-40 at 40X
AEA 18.3gr at about 820 fps
Shot early this morning before 8am. Weather report says 3mph wind but I wasn't seeing any
199 15X Masters

I got the idea that my "under 195" scores with this gun and pellet might be due to a dirty barrel and I cleaned it last night instead of watching TV. It was filthy. Took about 10 patches using both sides to clean up. This morning the wind was low and the forecast is it is the only low wind period I'll have today. Earlier yesterday I moved scopes around and put my best target scope, the Athlon, on this rifle. I don't think it versus the 32X Vector made a significant difference on the score but it makes it a more pleasurable experience. I fired about 10 shots on the clean barrel to adjust the scope. It was more than a little off. After about 10 shots I started this target. Actually I started a different target first but wasn't sighted in well, I made an adjustment and it took a shot to settle in. So after two cells I started this one instead. I started off great but the POI started moving around a little. I adjusted my point of aim between shots and it cost me Xs to have to move around but I was still getting 10s until the last shot. The POI moved right back to the center dot and I was aiming low - and hit low. I am pretty sure this is the best I've done on the Masters target so I am still happy with it.

Benchrest rifle

boscoebrea
I think it is the Goal you are trying to achive which going to dictate what you choose.If a pellet rifle or pistol of any kind can not shoot less than 1/2" at 30 yards in not good enough,yes springers do count in that group. Going farther out and keeping 1/2" groups is going to take more money and better equipment.
Take into count the shooters ability to be able to use the equiment he has before is the number one goal.
