As to 150's with left-hand stocks: Back when ARH went out of business, I bought a lefty 'normal' 150 stock from their bargain clearout of spare parts. It ended up being modified to fit a 300S which later got sold (I could not tolerate the right-hand lever). That stock may still be tucked away in an attic corner.

Hey Don, Here's a snippet from a 1982 ARH "Super Sale" (closeout) brochure. Sure were some great deals on FWB stocks.

He's busy building a new house. Try texing.

I went w the Orions this time around due the early props & the vendors involvement w the forum (it matters)

My gun is high shot count but 177 tiny. Also my eyes & nerve endings are bad, so will probably go w more mags and opt for loading in good light & warmth.

Pardon me. I wrote an imprecise question. I'm looking for 25 shot, .22 pellet groups outdoors at 100 yards. I'm thinking that 1 1/2" would be respectable.

On a related topic, I would really like to see some pictures of the winning targets from the 2025 RMAC 100 yard benchrest challenge. So far, the magic internet is no help.

“Repeatable” 1.5 MOA is VERY respectable, outdoors.

A guy after my own heart. Entire mag groups

tommyb said:

Yes, and this was my point in another recent post with someone posting great groups at 100 yards. I think it’s much easier to shoot 5 shots at one bull, vs. shooting one shot per bull and rotating.

Not so easy to claim MOA for 25 shots doing it this way.

Or even just one of the five bulls.

It makes a big difference on the bore condition and consistency. I run fresh wetted slugs and pellets out of everything, and never had a leading-up problem or loss of accuracy. In fact, one airgun barrel actually likes a lubed and leaded up barrel better for tighter accuracy versus being cleaned and running lubed slugs.

Hi Airgun-hobbyist. I have recently found that my fx maverick .30 sniper shooting nsa 54.5's (1:18 twist liner - 700mm) also prefers a "leaded-up" barrel for a tight air seal. My friend and I don't even refer to the barrel as being "seasoned" anymore. Now we call it "sealed". I didn't used to lube my slugs, but I definitely do lube them now. I find that, with unlubed slugs, the extreme spread and standard deviation of my muzzle velocities gets bad pretty quickly when I back off the hammer preload from maximum velocity for a given regulator pressure. I HAVE to back off from maximum velocity to be more effiicient with air and also to not kick the slug in the ass with an unnecessary and wasteful blast of air on its way out of the muzzle (that just leads to inaccuracy). With lubed slugs, I can back down from maximum muzzle velocity quite a bit and still have acceptable ES and SD. I'm currently just slopping Ballistol on the slugs, but I'll try other lubes as time goes on. I like my slugs to be so slippery that I have a hard time picking them out of the box and getting them into the magazine without dropping them. I'm always learning something -- slowly.

You can get the spring from Airforce.. Just tell them it is for a carbon fiber bottle..

Are there differences in shooting in colder weather versus hotter weather?

Click to expand...

It's more about change in temperature that can effect the set pressure of the rifle. If you store the gun at 70⁰ but you bring it outside and it's 90⁰ and humid. You will have to adjust the regulator as the rifle warms up. I just recently moved my bench gun from my basement to upstairs for the summer because the ambient temperature is higher. Store your pcp close to the temperature you will be shooting at if possible.

BBRemedy said:

Thanks for your phenomenal video.

I'm experiencing a challenge with my Red Panda (latest version) and was hoping you could help.

While the Panda is amazingly accurate, I don't have the velocity consistency over the considerable number of shots that you have demonstrated in your video.

I'm shooting .22 pellets - JTS 22.07. The first regulator was set at 2900 psi with 4,000 psi in the cylinder. After tuning, I have the second regulator set at around 1200. The hammer spring is set at the second notch and the transfer port is set 5 lines down from max.

The fps is in the 970 range and the sd remains tight (2.27) until about 33 shots, and then the fps begins to fall off.

The cylinder pressure drops to around 2,100 after 53 shots - way above the regulator pressure of 1200 psi. Im using roughly 33 psi (2.28 bar) per shot.

Any suggestions? Is this to be expected, or am I doing something incorrectly? If this is normal, I can certainly live with it.

Your expert advice would be greatly appreciated.

Again, congratulations for another great video.

I believe your first wreck is set up a little too high set it up to about 2000 and then try again if you’re average speed is not faster now a star racing the second rack five psi at a time without touching the hammer you really should be aiming for about 5% higher speed then adjust your hammer that should stabilize the speed throughout the shot string

17 bar seems awful fully slow. I will keep it at least 10% and then try that.

Does this thing carry ANY value?

Click to expand...

Certainly. However, "rare" does not equal valuable.

As if finding qualified buyers willing to pay top prices for anything anymore isn't difficult enough in 2025, your rifle will find virtually no motivated audience.

I helped the editor of the Thirteenth Blue Book Of Airguns establish many of the values in it, after warning her that task was virtually impossible. She persevered and came through like a real champ, yet any value in that professionally-assembled value guide being discussed by amateur 'experts' draws criticisms ranging from "too high!", to "too low!". Nevertheless the Blue Book is an excellent reference in many regards.

In my opinion your rifle is realistically worth between $250 and $400. However finding a buyer is another thing.

just got the .25 600mm bottle fed shooting 35g Zans in the mid 900 its a shooter for sure.
little on the heavy side 8.5-9 lbs by itself but shoulders nice only thing it needs a bag rider
seems to have a strong hammer spring than the impacts or maybe its just in the cocking system
so far so good 48 shots at this level is impressive also doesn't jump as much as an impact at the same power level
to new needs some rounds through it so far its been impressive.

How accurate is it great piece

Click to expand...

It is very accurate. I would guess that it utilizes a .22 CZ barrel, though it is Russian built, not Czech. I could get 3/8" at 40 yards with Hades. I haven't fired it in years.

Never shot a dot but enjoy OEM opens, peeps, apertures and scopes. I expect more from a scoped gun so stress more over POI's. I lower my expectations with any form of irons and am more relaxed. Both are fun in their own way. My wife's HW30 does double duty.

Please tell me the name of your scope who produced it?

It may be closer to an original Edgun Mk1 Mod1. Straight back cocking, single shot, Bullpups. Cutting edge about 15yrs ago!

Click to expand...

Exactly! Multi-shot pcp's were revolutionary, and priced accordingly.

I tried that ,I also brought my reg down to 0 then slowly brought it up. Once I get to 50 bar, air can be heard coming out the barrel at both ends.

I'm also looking for additional high capacity magazines. I see there are several options for 3d printed versions commercially available but I'm curious if there any .stl files available for those of us with 3d printers. Anyone have good examples?

It seems there might be a difference between the FFP and SFP for the Element Helix?
I don't own one but see them being used a lot on YT and figured I would check into them when I found some people say the FFP version might be a little blurry?
I'm just wondering if anyone here has first hand into on the 6-24x50 FFP?

just bought one 6x 24 x 50 gen 2 its Alot of scope for the price solid turrets tracking is excellent only issue i have is in low lite
would be nice if it had ir option for the crosshairs but for the price you cannot beat it.
i also just made a major jump in glass and went to the Element Theos 6-36 X 56
i have astigmatism that acts up so better glass helps tremendous amount similar like red dot vs green.
so the gen2 is for sale.

i see, just got a used gen2 yesterday. still got to get into it more. thanks for the insights.
