Here is my review on the Slide Stock I recently bought. I have no affiliation with the company where I bought it from. If you need to know where I bought it, you can PM me or search for it.

I love my folding stock, but IMHO, this stock is perfect for those who want to holster their GK1 but also want a carbine without the bulk or weight! The Slide stock is rock solid metal with minimal slop, no major wiggle. It allows for more points of contact. It also can be partially extended and locked to use as a pistol. There is a 13" LOP, a 15" LOP would be perfect for me! The Stock poles are angled sloped downward, but if the LOP was a little longer and that the butt plate was longer, it would provide a more comfortable scope sight picture, and the small angled slope not necessary, but I still think it is awesome! I will let the company know of my opinions. Overall, It is a holstered hunting machine! The only issue I have is that it does not have the ability to have a cheek rest. But the benefits far outweigh the need to have a cheek rest!

I am ordering a top Pic rail to move my scope back more, and a 1911 grip, and blacked out accessories, and this baby is finished! Unless I decide to go Shorty!

Is lubricating pellets necessary? I've read that people do it but am not sure if it's necessary or if it's better for certain sizes.

Star7 · Jul 10, 2025

IT is an indication that different dies were used. Sadly, size may actually be very similar. I can rarely feel a difference in seating pressure between them, but one "size" is often better in one gun, and you really need to give both a try. In some guns, I can find no difference in groups.

Taipan Veteran 1 would be at the top of my list. As reliable as a rock, ruggedly built, tier 1 craftsmanship and extremely accurate.

CZ200’s and unregulated Royale for me.

CZ barrels in my two 200’s shoot lots of different pellets well. The Royale was designed specifically for 18gr jsbs and did it phenomenally.

Unregulated and regulated, both great.

Is the Air Venturi Wingman 74 cu ft PCP tank the same as 6.8L? Some tanks have 6.8L on the sticker but no mention on cu ft.

igolfat8 · Jul 10, 2025

I have 2 for my Vixen and they work great. I was initially disappointed and thought they were difficult to load. I reached out to the maker and they asked if I removed the top? DUH! The top is held in place with magnets and once removed they are VERY east and much faster to load than the OEM mags. I find I reach for the Fox mags first over the OEM mags.

What is up with the orange marks on you power wheel?

To mark it when I'm at or around 990 fps with 150gr at 3400 psi

Well. If you’re shooting 2” groups at 35yds that would probably be 4” groups at 70..which doesn’t work for my use..shooting ground squirrels out to 150yds..but if you’re OK with that I’m not going to argue with you.

Not to derail the thread but because you asked..
View attachment 577228

If I’m not mistaken, the orange circles are 3”. Distance was 37yds. Wind right to left but not steady. The airgun used was an Edgun R5 Standard (short 18” barrel). Tuned to shoot the JSBs at 895..ball park 78ish FPE. The low shots were probably me not maintaining proper hold..too consistent in location to blame the pellets as flyers. The RTI P1s I currently have shoot this well or better..and have used the Mod40.

Just to be clear, what I said about 2" groups was about the Sig. Now as for the Avenger, compared to what you've shown, it's not bad for someone wearing a blindfold, because that's what it looks like to me. So maybe the low shots were because you opened your eyes?

Septicdeath · Jul 10, 2025

Haven't posted in a few days. But as usual I've shot something every day. Today I took out a XS25SFB and the B5

OK, good, that's helpful:

Top end magnification:
At least 16x for 100y range — better 20x for seeing impact holes in paper target.

Bottom end magnification — really means "Field of View (FoV)":
Your comment that your 6-24x has a FoV that is too narrow is spot-on for ranges of 15y (typical FoV of 6-24x scopes is 20-22ft @100y).
For close-range hurried shots I consider 30ft "sufficient" — but 40ft "ideal".
There are few scopes with a bottom end of 4x that will give you those 30ft.
The bottom end magnification that gives you those 40ft is usually 3x.

️ Combining your top end and bottom end magnification requirements results in the ideal scope being a:
★ common: 3-18x
★ very rare: 2.5-20x | 3-24x | 3-28x

Less than "ideal" due to a narrower FoV, but "sufficient" could be:
★ uncommon: 4-24x
★ common: 4-20x (but often with a rather narrow FoV, e.g., Sightron)
★ rare: 4-32x

I attach below 2 Scope Specs Tables where you can compare scopes with those magnification ranges.

All scopes in the tables are separated into SFP and FFP.

They all have a 10y minimum parallax.

They all have exposed elevation turrets and a hold-off reticle.

⮕ You now simply go to the SFP section in the Tables.
There you find your magnification range —
then make sure the FoV is OK —
and note the price and warranty —
and if the reticle has a center dot (CD). (Please, note that only recently I started adding this info, so there are some scopes where this is not stated.)

Have fun scope shopping!

wow very nice thank you!

I just figured when I had my impact M3 the plenum made a big difference in power, I just thought it might do the same with this gun

Degas the gun. And out of curiosity, why do you feel you need more plenum space? I have a P2 .30 and I certainly don’t need more plenum.

igolfat8 · Jul 10, 2025

I use a USO 3-12 and a Vector Veyron 4-16. Both work really well for pesting, barn and field hunting. They have hash marks and a center dot.

Could be, i dunno, some of it looks fine. My question is if I back it down 3-5%, that puts me in the 960 fps range, where the es is much worse???

Maybe your plateau is a bit above 992 since you stopped once the increase in fps became way smaller. But based on the string you’re certainly close. How much below the plateau a specific gun really l”likes” is individual, 95-98% of plateau is just ballpark. I have guns that do amazing at 97.5-%-98% but open up at 96% and vice versa… maybe your WC wants to be at 97-98%, which would mean 975 or so with the 18 gr. You’d need to use the hammer screw and not the wheel to dial it in for that and try…

I see H&N Baracuda Match .22 Cal listed in two diameters …. 5.51mm and 5.52mm.
There must be some reason for this. Any ideas about which one to choose and why?

PGinsandiego · Jul 10, 2025

Yes, there were not many Fx Royale in the Aeron Chasis. The previous owner swapped out the Royale for the more "Rare" Fx Elite". Great decision!

J.C. · Jul 10, 2025

Got a Stoeger XM1 Scout in 22 cal. from Pyramyd today and put a Arken EPL4 4-16x44 on it. It's charged and waiting for some testing in the morning.

Matt247365 · Jul 10, 2025

WOW, nice job on the stock. Looks amazi...

Wait - WTF! (What The Feet)

LOL

Seriously though, Stock looks great man. Love the colors

I would say an FX Elite. Made around 2012 and was a single shot that was side cocking had through the bolt transfer port with no probe. I never see anyone post on them any more but I always wanted one.

Here ya go! I waited 3 years for this rifle to come up for sale. It is an amazing rifle.
