Hello, im new here and too pcp rifles.
I just bought my first one and its a AEA 30 Bullpup 24".
Any ideas on where to start with basic tuning?
Im going to put some pellets through it today with the crony and see what I can do

Aea stuff I'd basically just tune it down from full blast over a chrono. There's not much tuning available or needed. They just punch way above their weight and often beat themselves up. So i turned mine aea model down till it had nice manners for the entire shot cycle.

Have you done any tuning on the bullpup?
If so what did you do?

My go to squirrel rifle is my Avenge-X in .22, as for optics I went with a Discovery Opt 2-12x, Look up a review on it on YT, and there should be a 10% discount code in the description. As for extra magazines, they use the same mags as a Benjamin Marauder and Umarex Gauntlet 1/2, But I'd also check out qd_fox, His after market mags are better and tougher than OEM.

What pistol would you recommend for 25-30 yards, and able to use one hand only?

You all have pretty short memories. Recently, Ana Rose Spanagel, using an Avenge-X .25, with a factory barrel, beat all comers in a 3 card 100y benchrest match.

A local competition with 13 participants doesn’t equate to “all comers”. She evidently has a nice shooting air rifle and is very skilled with it, but that doesn’t put the Avenger-X on the same level as the better guns. My Avenge-X is collecting dust after chasing POI shifts for months, and after adding barrel bands and harmonic stabilizers. I finally bought a better gun, gave my Notos to my grandson and took the scope from the Avenge-X to use on an air rifle with repeatability of shot placement.

How do you know it is Orion's design? Lots of files on Yeggi and various other sites for magazines. Is it possible the QD_FOX was first?

Because I gave my rifle and magazines for Orion to design the 3D versions back in March. Also the face plate geometric design with the shine is the same as what ORION does to all of his mags.

That's cool!

Cheers,

For those considering getting mags from QD Fox those are straight ripoff from Orion.

The thing I worry about is what tariffs will do to the prices of even non-Chinese rifles, the materials they use also comes from countries subject to tariffs. The hobby is expensive enough already.

Click to expand...

Material tariffs *should* only affect domestic production. Tariffs are generally based upon origin of final product not origin of raw materials. Bunch of exceptions to that like final assembly from majority imported parts from higher tariff country.

I sold my sightmark wraith 2-16 to fund a dnt zulus. The zulus I picked was without lrf because $306 from tac-panda.....$200 less than a lrf version

I dont have the dnt yet but am wondering how big of a deal the lrf is? I'm sure the zulus will out class the sightmark unit if only by weight alone.

Somewhat excited to try the zulus!

Non LRF is a good option if you're going to keep things close and dont need quick adjustments. Say 50yds and in.

OK it's fixed, I wanted to wait and see if it leaked over night, all is good. Once I ignored the air drain through the 1st reg and looked for the real leak it was easy, Thanks @6gun. The E 100 o rings were bad. Strange now that it's not leaking it no longer drains air through reg #1 when the bottle is removed.

Nicely done Time says 5:47 am. Coyotes around here are extremely smart.. They won't get near a trail camera and if I put out food they rarely if ever come to it..

Mine is the Pro sport I didn’t get on with the .177 so I sold it and bought the .22
Definitely a keeper now perfect springer .22.177

I love the tactical handguard. But one think I'm wondering: is the clearance from the barrel wide enough so you can properly use the m-lok slots for mounting i.e. a picatinny rail? Or is is more for the looks?
In my experience it quickly gets very tight with the m-lok screws (almost) touching the barrel, and that's not good for accuracy.

Click to expand...

Most of the screws that come with attachments are 12mm for m-lok . You need to get 10mm.

What did the M4 ever do to you?

Trucker3573 said:

Glad to see it working itself out. 4-5 shots isn’t bad. Neither of mine fire the first shot of the day to speed when turned on. Usually 1-2 shots. To me is what it is, no big deal. I think part of the issue is this gun is made to run to a wide range of power. Like anything made to do such a thing when you run it at either extreme end of the spectrum it probably won’t be quite as good. Yours is on the very low end of its capabilities so it most likely plays a role.

I think I remember a post one time saying that if you run your reg 5 bar or so higher than what's requested by the rifle it helps with the first shot being better. Can't remember exactly what it was. I think it was in factory mode also.

My Marauder magazine didn't work well but they replaced with another quickly! Great customer service!!!

Cantona256 said:

Haha I know right?…. But im not gonna argue that one way is better over the other either. I just wanna minimize the time of flight/drop… plus I love the sound the slugs make when they come in hot

Click to expand...

Definitely.. I've been shooting 185gr slugs out of my .51 megalodon. They are moving over 1000 fps and you should hear how they sound coming in.

Still figuring out AGN, it's been a while since I posted. Vid was short but I am testing my new DNT Zulus V2. Very happy with it so far. Pulling me away from all my thermal equipment.

Click to expand...

Great shot. What ambient IR are you using with the Zulu? Why the preference to thermal?

Yeah im getting the rattler 357 ready, and soon I will see what this bintac mcar can do.

I worked on my Notos today. It has a 500mm FX barrel, 500mm FX barrel kit, new valve, and hammer spacer from C88-Air. Also has the AR adapter kit, and Handguard from Buck-Rail.

Then I added my own little twist with a re-designed upper picatinny rail that slides over the carbon fiber shroud, and clamps the barrel shroud and bottle together. I added a lower picatinny rail so I could mount a bi-pod on the front. I also incorporated two Mlok slots for accessories. I put a Sling mount on one side, but im not sure what I will put on the otherside. Still light as a feather, but with a pi-bod now.

Still working on odds and ends with my Zelos. Started a few new designs for my Karma, and planning a few parts for the Barra 250z stock that will hopefully show up next week.
