I had thought about getting a blank or shaped stock with no inlet. What it came down to was price and compatibility. The barra trigger is significantly farther forward in relationship to the bolt knob than a traditional bolt action. A shaped stock was going to run 250$ with no certainty of compatibility and a blank of the appropriate size was 100$ minimum... one 1/2"×4'x8' of baltic birch enough for 6 stocks was 88$ and allowed to inlet 80% before you glue it up.View attachment 563010 View attachment 563011 View attachment 563012 View attachment 563013

It doesn’t say Daisy anywhere on the gun. Probably bought in Germany and brought to the U.S. It is sleeved. Will update on accuracy after the new seals are installed.

I was wondering what you all think about prime day cs3i for 319. Is it a good deal, or just meh? Would 319 be better spent elsewhere. I'm not a heavy use shooter. What you all think?

I agree with Jim, check the GX Pump website and compare the final price after adding the discount code [GX10OFF].

Amazon charges sales tax, GX Pumps does not in most states. Amazon is an authorized GX Pump vendor, AliExpress could be a knock-off and not be covered by GX Pump's warranty. GX Pumps also ships from a U.S. warehouse via Amazon shipping, so shipping speed through either GX Pumps or Amazon is usually the same, so I would go with which ever is cheaper of those two.

I have never shot 100 yard bench on an actual card with an air rifle. So I am no help but I do practice at 100 yards for 22LR F Class. It's kinda like you shot your bulls eyes. In our first relay we are allowed unlimited sighters but once we start shooting for score you can no longer do sighters and we shoot five shots per bull's-eye and we have four targets for 20 scored shots 25 minute time limit with sighters. The other two relays you get two sighters and then you have to start shooting for score in 22 minutes. You learn to read flags pretty good. I would like to try it with a good 22 Cal slug air rifle to see how they do with the 22 LR. Now this is shot prone depending on class either off a bipod and rear bag or a front rest and rear bag. now our 10 ring is bigger it is just slightly under an inch but still pretty tough. Maybe someday I'll get a good slug gun and try it but good shooting

Hi All..... I'm on the tuning "steep learning curve" with my .22 Impact M4 (600mm). I have a "decent baseline" tune that gives me 990-1000fps with 23gr ZAN slugs, so now I'm looking to see if I can tweak my settings without altering the reg, to preserve my shot count and hopefully reduce my shot spread......

So - my questions:

1. I understand (I think!) that the micro adjuster increases or decreases the preload on the hammer spring - what does the macro wheel do? Is it the same thing, just in coarser increments, or does it have some kind of cam arrangement that does something different?

and

2. Right now, my macro wheel is at 15 and micro is at 4.5ish - would there be any consistency benefit from going up to 16 on the macro and down (maybe to 3.5)on the micro? Would this give less preload on the hammer spring and improve consistency?

I'm still learning "the dark arts" so any insights are appreciated!!

Cheers

Dunk

Don't over think it, just try some minor adjustments. It won't change things too drastically. A chrono is necessary and I'd be taking notes in cause and effect. If it groups, don't mess with it.

Picked up and looked at the reg on my impact to see it still losing air after my many attempts at fixing the air loss issue

Thank you! So the bullpup kit I finally find will end up on a bolt action. Anyone have a clue where or how I can search the most effectively for a used one? Even if it costs money.

Personally I think you may be on a hunt for a jabberwocky. Good luck.

ChuckHunter · Jul 9, 2025

I think all JSBs are considered match grade along with AEA and JTS!
I think the term match grade is more of a sales gimmick! Maybe sorted a little better or something along those lines but a barrel likes what a barrel likes.
And can say the same for the single die Benjamin domes as above. Several come close in my springers but they are tops in accuracy!

I agree with using an external regulator for max power on a non-regulated pcp. I have a .308 with Trajectron parts and it has hit (below) but I have since tuned it at 3400 psi. I have ordered a few more parts so I can maintain the same performance at a lower psi . (Looking for 3300 psi with 150gr at 990 fps). But for those who are looking for a regulated AirForce pcp, as you can prove. You can have power and have a regulated Airforce pcp.

I am absolutely positive that this gun has not been touched in 57 years. I have a heat gun and will use it on the front pins and trigger screws. May leave it set all night with WD40 or Liquid Wrench first. The 150 does not have a bear trap mechanism so no hole to insert a pin in when removing the take down bolt. I have a heavy duty spring press anyway so either way that is what I would use. Us Springer folks don’t worry about spring pressure. Is a silicone grease preferred in the piston and in the barrel? I want to use the best lubs so this is a one and done. Also I see no need to remove the ring. Correct? Thank you everyone for all your help. The seals are on the way. ARC is the place.

I think that gun is a Daisy marketed? I think I can just make out the "D" on your picture? Someone told me that the Daisy gun were select for quality and accuracy, and the FWB was trying to build their reputation in the US, and that's why they are all (?) are sleeved...I dunno, maybe just nice sounding story!
I have a early production European sold non sleeved 150, heavily worn, likely a club gun, and it's the same accuracy as my gun-case-queen Daisy.
You got a beautiful, as new airgun there...congrats.
Sometimes I think all this other stuff could go if I only had the one 150!

I do not care which brand; it's a general question. The reason is that I can get tight groups with the right pellet once it is found. So, say my .22-PCP likes 18 .34 gr.;would a close to that weight target pellet actaully be better, I am looking for a consensus of thought on this subject. Iam trying to get hole in hole,my rifle is set up perfect as is.

I can only speak for the Benjamin Match single die. Yes this pellet is definitely more accurate over any other pellet we offer. It was designed to fly truer and have less BC over Crosman branded ones. A lot of time did go into bringing these to market.
I’ve even tested the .25 in a .257 Bulldog with good results. And the dog was pushing them at over 1200fps in a 1:14 barrel.
I know you don’t care about brands but IMO brands do matter. Some just do it for marketing is my point.

Yes i do have a chronograph I used crosman 10.5 grain pellets it started out doing 685.7 ft/s 10.96 ft/lb in this sort of range and when pressured dropped it dropped to in the 500 s ft/s and 8.32 ft/lb, I just want to have it at 12lb

and thankyou for your time

I would pay that if I didn't already have one. Mine has the external ps but I made a bracket to attach it to the case. I've had it for a couple years now and I bought it lightly used from a fellow airgunner when he upgraded to the CS4. I think I paid $200 for it. I only use it to fill guns directly.

Helped out a landowner with an over abundance of the hole diggers. For comparison that hiking boot is a size 12, though there were lots of small juveniles too. Got about 25 the first day in about 3.5 hours. Shots from 2 yards to about 70. A capable rifle sure is a joy

Two yards,, why that was hand to,,, paw distance ! Great shooting & pics.

It won't make a difference in used air from the tube , only used air volume of the plenum. It's physics.

I'm shooting 50.5 grain pellets 956fps out of a 500mm panthera with an Ernest Rowe liner. I'm practicing for P.a c. .

Really good shooting at a 100 yards. Wish you all the luck at PAC.

When Mike ( CC ) ran the virtual EBR Challenge during COVID, there was a lot of participation and enthusiasm. He suggested that the shooters shoot one bull at a time and rotate to the next bull. This, approach vs. shooting 5 shot scoring groups for each bull.

Much harder but it does simulate the actual competition environment of having to adjust your wind holds and setup for shooting adjacent bulls.

I’ve tried both ways many times and invariably my scores were lower using his idea,
than shooting 5-shot groups for each bull.

Give it a try as your gun is dialed in.

If you are only filling guns and not tanks just ignore the following. GX is all you need. Upgrade the filter to the GX or better Tuxing dual.

For another $100 you can get a MUCH faster compressor, Tuxing TXEDM042. I've been running mine hard for 2 years and it finally needs a rebuild of the high pressure side. Only ever had one problem, breaker for the motor popped on a hot day when topping off a 9l tank.

Dual cylinder
Auto stop
Dual inline filters, one fir most of the water and the 2nd to finish drying.
Much louder than the GX

I would check the GX website with their 10% off applied. Usually it's less than Amazon but you get it quicker by a few days from Amazon and you can buy an extended warranty from Amazon.

Braggin' on the Panda Red Panda, not myself! This is the best card I've ever shot. Backyard range, 50 yards, VERY light breeze, .30 cal. Red Panda, AEA 45 grain pellets. This gun just does not seem to have any fliers. Shot four sighters. I believe I pulled 15, 18 and a smidge on 19 which still scored 10, otherwise 10's all the way and 12 X's. In the past the best I could seem to do was high 30's to mid 40's with maybe 5-8 X's. No regrets buying the RP!

Very nice card Mike! Feels great when you practice shooting for score, and achieve your highest on the various competition scoring cards.

Your 50.1g pellet holes all look pretty round/symmetrical except for three or four which teared a bit. Tim’s idea / method is a good takeaway for me also when I shoot Mike’s ( CC) old Boss .30. I get tears all the time with either the 44g or 50.1g pellets. I like the idea of pushing the paper or card stock from behind to try and get a more accurate hole to plug for score.

Thanks for all the advice, everyone. Given the input, I think I'll snoop around for a good deal on a Diana 34 or similar. As some of you mentioned, I will probably end up having a blast, slip fall down and accidently buy a PCP as well. Best case scenario, I get a springer I love and never stray. Worst case scenario, I end up with a springer and a PCP and have twice the fun.

Only issue i have is cocking force. How easy is it for the child to cock the gun. If they are strong enough you are on the right track. Diana 34 is supposed to be easy, but I'd like to know first.

Couple of PCP that are light, inexpensive and can be hand pumped Umarex Notos and Airforce TalonP. Find them used for $200-300. Both are good reliable guns. TalonP is a single shot. Both can be upgraded. The TalonP more easily and is the easier to maintain.
