With a second focal plane scope, as long as you're dialing the turret the magnification doesn't matter. With a SFP scope, holdover WILL change with scope power though.

With a first focal plane scope, holdover AND dialing the turret agree, and that's at any magnification the scope is capable of being turned to.

Everyone was standing outside clapping when the truck pulled up. But it was not one driver . He only brought a couple miles.

I usually track my packages or orders. Sometimes it feels like a watched pot refusing to boil.

It took the USPS 19 days to go from Georgia to Michigan via Florida and Colorado and Indiana a few times.

Pure incompetence.

They really need to privatize the USPS.

Thats extremely high for 100bar your gun is capable of well over 70ft lbs of energy.

I would actually go to 10 and work up notch by notch, your gun is capable of breaking the sound barrier with 25.39

I once hit 24 hour shipping by mistake. But I really wanted the rifle. So I stayed up drinking beer and watching it go. I placed the order at 10:30 and it got to my door before 10. Cost 35 bucks but we had a party.

but also, if you increase your hammer strike power above the peak for a given set pressure, you're now wasting air

I’m probably about 85 clicks in on the hammer spring at 100bar. If going up on plenum pressure would require a heavier hammer spring adjustment wouldn’t it defeat the purpose. I’m thinking that the lowest pressure to get the desired velocity would be the best option, am I wrong?

Leave the cast iron piston ring alone unless you see it broken. These never wear out, but unless you are really careful, you could break it when removing it.

Hi Guys

Well, I think I May go back down the DEEP rabbit hole of swapping my avenge x back to .177,, (glutton for punishment I guess)

As some of you know I have a thread with the "trials and tribulations" on this subject, I never really got the gun to shoot worth a damn with that particular caliber.

My personal opinion on the subject is the Minimum reg pressure of the factory reg is Way too high for .177 caliber 10.34gr and under projectiles.

My thought is to see if there may be another reg that can be used so there is More adjustment on the lower sides of things??

So, the question at hand is there a Huma or other aftermarket reg that will fit the Avenge X?

I just got an M4 this week and didn't believe this was possible but am having the same issue. I've had dozens of Impacts throughout the years and don't ever remember any of them having this problem - at least not to this degree. It's pretty commonly known (and somewhat accepted) that the first shot or two after sitting idle for some time can be low but I've never had an Impact take 10 shots to warm up.

My tune is similar to the OP's (shooting 0.25 26.54g Hades at ~920fps). When I went to shoot it this morning, here were the first 11 shots:

844fps
844fps
865fps
590fps (user error - double fed pellet)
877fps
881fps
885fps
888fps
891fps
891fps
891fps

At that point, the string leveled out and I started messing with the settings. It was also interesting that the fps settled in at 891 whereas the last two shots from the night before was at 929fps. This is only day 3 with the M4 so I'm still playing around with it but it is really perplexing that the first 10 shots would be 60-80fps lower than normal. Hopefully this is just a breaking in issue that will improve with more use but if it's not, this would be really aggravating because there was absolutely nothing wrong with my 0.25 M3 that I "upgraded" from...

Will play with the M4 some more and see what happens.

Could be break in of the regulator if gun is brand new, otherwise velocities all over the place 1st 10 Shots like the M3 Not acceptable on a brand new gun. Just ordered plenum o-rings from Accu-shot to try As a fix, will post results

Just remember your always moving the bullet to where you want it to land when your adjusting left and right and up and down. Bullet hits low, you want to adjust it UP.

Like I finally figured out. When I adjust the scope, I'm not moving the crosshairs to the POI, I'm moving the POI (in the field of view) to the crosshairs.

The parallax on this scope isn't so sensitive that I could use it as a range finder, so the wheel is just fine.

Do you use the wheel for quick parallax corrections?

Another method is to set yourself up to do either hold over or dial the turret.

Just need an intuitive reticle. MIL works best for my brain. By doing it this way you can even shoot out past the maximum vertical travel in your turrets. Say you need 16mil of holdover for a shot but scope only goes to 8mil in the turret. Dial the 8, then holdover another 8.

I have a little laminated dope sheet for each gun/caliber/scope. Sometimes stickered to the gun, sometimes tucked into the gap between action and stock. But on the card are just two columns/projectile. Left column is distance, right column is clicks. With a nice clean mil reticle/mil turret the click value is pretty easy to turn into a holdover if the quarry seems like it might bolt before the clicks can be made.

Hi Frank, can I ask you something about that: on SFP scope holdover change with the changing of the magnification but if I use turret stickers and adjust the POI with turret it dosn't matter on what magnification I'm it always work correct right ? I'm always talcking about SFP scope

Don.Chipmunk-slayer · Jul 8, 2025

Since I have a single-shot pump, I wouldn't be able to shoot a group with it locked down. But still, I'd be able to fire one shot, adjust the crosshairs to THAT POI. Then fine tune it with the rifle on a full rest, just not locked down.

On a magazine fed / PCP rifle, your idea would be ideal.

Watching this one. Very nice work, my friend. Curious, though...... This one's not a lefty. Are they that hard to come by? "Cuz I'd love to find one in left hand.

This may help some.
Rifle scope sighting adjustment, POA = point of aim & POI = point of impact.

1. Start with the rifle/scope securely mounted on a table/bench where it will remain stationary with NO movement.
2. Use a paper target that is set out at 25 to 100 yards from rifle/scope.
3. Fire a 3 shot group without moving rifle/scope using the same (POA) for each shot.
4. Look through the scope and locate the center of this 3 shot group on the target (POI) and make sure that the rifle/scope is NOT moved.
5. WITHOUT moving rifle/scope, adjust crosshairs on the scope to the center of this 3 shot group. The scope crosshairs will now be pointing at the center of the 3 shot group fired by this rifle/scope combo at this sight in range
6. Repeat steps 3, 4, & 5 to confirm or fine tune the accuracy of the scope adjustment.

Amsoil makes an excellent compressor oil at a fairly reasonable price of about $20 a quart, available in many stores or online, no detergent, high pressure lubes added, and a flashpoint over 500 degrees. It meets the ISO 46 standard advised for high pressure compressors.

It attaches to the Sig at the barrel, it simply won't group, wildly goes every which way. On the Avenger it's via a DonnyFL adapter and groups maybe 5' (feet) at 35 yards and won't group beyond that, just scatters.

Compared with the Buckrail, the Sig groups 1-2" at 35 yards, the Avenger is like a dime or tighter, really spot on. But not as quiet.

My review is fair and honest, say what you will but I'll not compromise, the air gunning public has a right to know about my experience with this product.

I’m going to guess it might have something to do with the weight of the moderator. The Buckrail is a 3D print. The Mod40 is all aluminum. The weight at the end of the Sig barrel probably causes a lot of back forth up down motion at the shot. If the Sig barrel is not contained by a stiff shroud this may be your problem.

IMO 1-2” @35yds is not really “grouping”.

Byahkin · Jul 8, 2025

looking to see if I can find a sandbag on prime or make one of my own. My block is definitely just a band-aid for what I had lying around to use. @Hateful McNasty I really appreciate your advice and coming back to this post with suggestions and pointers! It’s given me some structure on what to look at to problem solve. Cheers everyone.
