Diana  Springer Shooting Technique

As I now have a Diana 350 magnum that for now is my favorite air rifle I need help with the Springer Shooting Technique that you use , or have mastered.
If your shooting off a rest do you hold the rifle tight to your shoulder. I'm afraid if you don't it will kick you. Do you use the Artillery hold. I looked this up , and didn't quite get it explained where I understand it. Hold it loose ok well how ? Any others thoughts , or practices , and Ideas. I'm shooting the H&N Field Target Trophy 8.4g at 15 yards ar 888 fps , and quite a few were close to where I was shooting , but could not seem to hit where I was aiming for exactly. I'm new to springers , and had the Hatsan Air Tac shooting dime size groups , but this one needs more of a technical hold. I have a cheap Birchwood Casey Fox Trot rest but the 350 fits great the scope is a Westlake 6 x 24 x 60 it's a nice scope. Just need help to learn the right way to shoot this.
Maybe pellet suggestions , or is speed to fast , and I need heavy ones to slow it down. OldVet.

Taipan  Taipan SLASH Review (World's Top Semi Auto Air Rifle)

That was an awesome video. How much are you gonna sell it now that is used
This particular one I did not get to keep. But I liked it so much I bought it. So it's going in the glass case. I won't sell it until I accidentally drop it on the pavement or it falls out of my car while I'm driving or something like that. In my life that is a real thing. The virtus 22 I reviewed, I accidentally ran over it with my truck on the way to mail it. I told the guy who was buying it and he said quit messing with me. It was mostly okay so he took it anyway and I gave him a few bucks off.

Those are some of the guns that made the cut.

FX  What causes regulator to be same pressure as the rest of the air tube?

I've been messing with regulators for awhile with some success. But I had to think about what was going on more with a couple SPA regulators that were not working and I think I finally understand basically what is going on with the regulators I have in my SPA guns which work the same as the Huma in my Caiman.

The basic functionality is just a piston formed by the shaft the spring washers are on that has a plastic disc on the top that interacts with the end of the adjustment screw. The "piston" closes the valve formed between the plastic disc and the end of the stem when the air pressure in the regulated chamber raises high enough. The spring washers are pushing to open the valve. So if you increase the force from the washers by turning the adjustment screw clockwise it takes less pressure in the regulated chamber to close the valve. That's why you turn clockwise to lower the regulator. I think it's a good idea to make sure you can easily move the stem with the washers up and down after you finish servicing a regulator. The air has to be able to move it. There will be a little resistance but if there is too much it won't seal and the gun will be unregulated. That is what happened to my SPA regulators. I didn't put enough silicone grease on this area.

Taipan  Taipan SLASH Review (World's Top Semi Auto Air Rifle)

Got $2500 burning a hole in your pocket? Here you go:


This aint' no Western Sidewinder...way nicer. Worth the $, if you got it to spend, in my opinion. Best slug shooter out there for sure. Thanks for watching! -Nate

Air Gun Gong

We use a 12" or 14" aluminum plate or steel disk/gong at 160 meters, usually under windy conditions. Those can be 100% hits with pellets, off the bench with front & rear bags. The aluminum plate has a much nicer and louder ring to it.

40, 60, 77 @ 100 meters, we use .22 rimfire metallic silhouettes hung from two chains. Good fun.

The 100 meter ram needs to be of lighter material in order for it to move well. IIRC, 1/8" steel.

We also shoot disks at 125, 135, 145 metres, hung from chains onto steel rods, up the rock slide at the end of the range.

The steel disk is an old cut/off wheel with 126 hits at 160 meters, despite the wind. We repaint after every day's shooting.

IDK if that is of any value for your shooting.

FWB  Feinwerkbau 800X air rifle cylinder

Same experience as above.

The cylinder end pieces are aluminum, and on the fill end the holes to accept the 4 drive pins in the removal tool are not drilled very deep.
Cylinder was clamped in a sized collet and a breaker bar was used to turn the removal tool. I made a witness mark, and then managed to do nothing more than mangle the end cap to the point that the only remaining method of removal would be boring it out. It did not rotate at all......
Heat= no effect
Lots of rotational torque= no effect

Umarex  Another Notos question?

Reg or hammer settings.

You can get an inexpensive 1:1 spa pp750 reg from ebay. Sometimes regs will creep during fill. Your hammer may be low in the range. But sounds like youre creeping. Your reg may be set ridiculously high because that's how unregged guns behave.


Have you screwed your hammer spring adjuster all the in/out

The first shots are they really quiet?

N/A  First PCP - need advice (Notos vs Stoeger Scout)

My P35-177 has killed the most squirrels in my yard for exactly the reason suggested by Reg Creep. Chairgun will calculate your maximum range and it is a good thing to check, particularly before shooting squirrels up in trees. A safe direction to shoot is always required but at some angles the difference between the 300 yards or so the 177 can carry and the 500 to 600 the higher power 22s and 25s can carry puts things I would not want to impact into the potential path. If you limit yourself to shots on the ground or with the tree behind the squirrel you can also shoot safely regardless of how far the pellet could potentially fly.

Optical zero

Last time I had trouble with not being able to adjust a scope it was some cheap utg scope rings causing the issue. A one piece cantilever scope mount can provide a solid way to attach to a rail.

What about something like this 20 moa mount.

Every single time for me it has happened with a very reliable scope all of a sudden needing 90moa /30 mrad of elevation to hit paper. Every times its happened ive either mix and matched rings or tried crap rings or using a rail riser. Tighten everything to spec. Grab some rings you've had work on something else or a scope you know is 100% chances are it isn't the optic, almost never is.

Newbie needing your help regarding Compressor choices

Now that is kool! Got a link to utube that explains how?
The owner's manual Page 2 under Directions for use: 1. Machine test, Attention: <cuation symbol> 1. Note - describes adjusting the "Safety Valve"

This video shows how to adjust: https://www.bing.com/videos/rivervi...B3C0975A101DF9370B60B3C0975A101DF&FORM=VAMGZC

AirMaks Arms  Airmaks Katran/BRK pathfinder - Airgun euphoria

I couldn't agree more with every word!
I still have a Brk Sniper HR I bought used on here a good while ago. It is bulletproof. If I ever doubt a scope, I slap it on that rifle and it tells the tale. Never a hiccup, just dead accurate.

I also had a Katran and it was my introduction to Airmaks and it just puts a smile on your face every time.
