That BC of 0.245 G1 at 957 fps is wildly optimistic. I shot mine from a 700mm 1:16 twist FX liner at 950-975-1000 fps and got 0.155 to 0.160 G1. My Altaros 40 grain Kings get approx 0.195 G1 at 900 fps and they are a smoother step from body to boat tail. For information, I get about 0.245 G1 from the .25 caliber Altaros Queen 60 grain at about 880 fps.
In Dubber’s video comparing the ACE. Altaros, and ZAN, he used an experimental 800mm 1:14 twist in his Impact M4 and got the best results with that. So @Ballisticboy has a valid point with twist rates.
Additionally, if you have a good friend you can trust in the states, they could put this together for you. Get the stock, find a suitable action to drop in it, then send it to you. Or you could send your action to the states and have it sent back? Might not be reasonable or feasible, but could be an option?Order a custom stock from whoever. Have them install a cheap used, damaged junk springer action on it and ship it to you as a complete rifle. A cheap, junk used springer with a custom stock?? Do you think the pinheads in customs will figure that out?
I’m a big believer in treating used gun purchases to a complete reseal. it gives me complete confidence in the rig. Daystate is my favorite brand of air rifles followed closely by Brocock and RAW.Just purchased a used Daystate Air Wolf CDT .25. Am I in for a Treat or Trouble?
It comes with Optisan 6-24x50 Scope and Donny Fl Sumo moderator. Anyone still shooting one of these? This will be my introduction rifle into the PCP world. It will be used for target and hunting.
Let me know what you think, thanks in advance.
Would it not be better to leave ALL the baffle chambers from the oem airmaks moderator?Here's a picture of Ryu on a Katran CSView attachment 573423View attachment 573424View attachment 573423
yes i agree, sometimes I gotta make the shot count on critters that destroy my farm equipment and a brain shot is not always available like i prefer.We all know and love the.long going "Head Shot Thread". A head shot doesn't always present itself as the best option. Show off your heart and lung punches.
I'll start
Chipper at 37y. Had been raiding the feeder and digging tunnels all over.the place. Waiting for him to present a shot all morning. Had him in the crosshairs around 9:50 but a chickadee alarm call sent him darting. Just about 10min ago I see him working down tbe berm from a tunnel entrance. Straight to the feeder. I hit him on his return trip. A tree trunk was in the way of the headshot so I chose thoracic treatment. You can see the peanuts and sunflower kernels he was carrying with him

I am going to order some of those, they look and sound like they might be the hot ticketWill do!
All I have is a budget scope on it for now so that will be changed out soon as well.
Im hoping to get this thing pretty accurate out to 200 yards
How old are your 57s? I’ve been eyeing that model for a few years but their accuracy seems to be hit or miss with the older models. HW says they’ve cured the issues with the latest offerings of the 57, but there’s so little information on them out their from real world users.I have two of the HW 97 rifles. Easiest cocking and shooting guns I have, also lightest weight. Only downside I see is that the front sight is fixed. Loading can be a little tricky, some pellets just do not want to fit in the pop up breech.
