I have a *********l that I have had since 2021, but have only used a handful of times. I would like to sell it. Where can I expect to get a fair price. Online, or perhaps somewhere local (I'm in Central Oregon).

Thanks

Read the forum rules on buying and selling here on AGN - but age and condition greatly affect the price. I recently bought a ******Shipped.

They also recommend .357 but it's a bit dated, 30cal now can put out more than that. My .30 cal vulcan 3 was shooting 65.5g slugs @ 990 fps / 142fpe but just tuned it down a tad to shoot 62.5g @ 1000fps / 139fpe

Hunting deer in Alabama 30 caliber or bigger. I have a Daystate .30 caliber, what’s is your thought about using it 80 fp? I would thing I need more power to take down a deer at 50 yards or less

Small deer recommend 100fpe minimum, here's basic guidelines for different size prey https://www.airgundepot.com/vault/articles/basic-airgun-hunting-guidelines/

IMHO, the 18g pellet it seems to me to be a bit obsolete, 15.9 or “16”g have the weight of the hunting pellets and the 25.4g have dome and hades as well for higher powered platforms. 18g seems almost outdated.

confused?
buyer beware?
is there a link? a issue with it? not a bad price if its in good condition I wouldnt part with one for that

Well I think I found it that one
I don't own it yet , but I will a brake barrel air rifle with possibly better accuracy than a PCP Yep the Norica ZRS
"Zero Recoil System" The wood version .177 gas ram air rifle.
Perfect for me. No Compressor , or high pressure blown O rings ect just a simple rifle , and pellets for my little 15 yard back yard range. Yes it is the one no special holding technique just simple accurate rifle. It took me some time to find , but it's hands down the only one I need. Plus my Crosman full auto M1 , and , and my Zelos , and all the 14 others lol.

I was tested about 9 years ago and my blood lead level was 47 PPM. Normal is less than 4 PPM. I was a competitive pistol shooter (25K+ rounds / year) and cast all my own lead bullets. I also shot a fair amount indoors with a poor ventilation system which I think was the source of my lead elevation issue. I began wearing a respirator while shooting indoors and my lead levels have dropped consistently since and last year my number was 12. Still 3X normal but significantly lower that 9 years ago.

Around 5

I’ve got just over a tin of pellets through the rifle now and thought it would be time to see what the maccari spring and top hat would do power wise. The shot cycle of this rifle is unique to say the least. No jolting but I’m glad to have a scope with ample eye relief. The 8.4 JSB’ s average at 970fps and the 10.3’s at 880 . Not as powerful as some of the numbers I’ve seen posted on this rifle but then again I wasn’t chasing power to start with.

What I have found is that the leade is loose on this particular rifle. Which seems to be a regular occurrence with the Diana line of rifles. I’ve got several sizes of JSB pellets from .451 to .453 and none fit tightly when pushed into the barrel with a finger. I did try some Baracuda hunter extremes and they did fit a bit better but weren’t quite as accurate when pushed out past 30 yards.

Not sure if I’ll be keeping this one. I’m going to out it head to head with the R9 and see if it can keep up. To be fair the R9 is presently tuned at 13 fpe and shooting the 8.4’s from the right tin will put ten pellets under a dime at 40 yards .

@RM.510bigbore, I think I have made my mind up and am going to get the Tex Rex .457!! I want to sell my Texan with the AAO kit but know you were interested in the Valve itself!! I'm am honestly not sure what a good price for it would be especially since I will be left with the rest of the kit...

The way I shoot some days, I've thought "Missy" would be a good name.

Did not know that. They sure seemed better to me , and looked better too.

Yes, when I saw it on consignment, I knew who it was for.
It got some trigger tuning, might have recrowned the barrel. Gdtr was hitting the 2 inch chicken at 220 meters.

No substitute for young eyes.

In my experience, under lever spring guns are more accurate. But the delta is very modest, and often not worth the weight penalty that comes with under lever guns. 90% or more of my shooting and hunting is with my break barrels. If I were a competitive shooter, I'd use an under lever like all other competitors.
