I would try a couple of different pellets before doing any sorting. In my experience, sorting may be beneficial for fine tuning, but your variance is greater than I would expect to correct by sorting.

Certainly quicker to do than weight and size sorting!

Watching videos has cost me a bundle! But I'm happy anyway! Charles

It's called being "In the zone". You are ok.

This project has been a long time in the making and Utah Airguns and AirMarksman just changed our sport!

It was Altaros who changed the sport with their high BC, round nose slugs. Looks like Utah took notes and developed a similar slug. Nice to see other companies coming out with the round nose design.

The hammer weight change is the worst of it. A liner change and probe change is a matter of minutes, which even surprised my shooting partner that thought it was surgery.

Is the hammer weight change necessary?

What cal is the M4 now and what cal slugs would you like to entertain? Are you looking to get coyotes, skunks, racoons, small hogs?

.30 cal. small hogs, coyotes and most stands would be 80 - 150 yards.

I use food grade green grease in my CS3 and have yet to have an issue. I have cleaned and regreased it twice in the 2 years that I've owned it. I am the second owner. The first owner used it very little until he upgrade to a bigger compressor for filling tanks. He went with the CS4 and I think he's upgraded again to the CS5.

Wow! It must have really went up. One tube will last forever though.
You could use Super Lube grease also.

Awesome making memories for sure, very happy looking young man.

There is a new kid in town who is pushing the boundaries of what “PRECISION”, “ENERGY” and “LONG RANGE“ mean in the airgun world and NO… It’s not a gun

Say hello to the ACE Precision Slug. Available here at AirStryk Industries

They look nice, lots of videos on YouTube today. Hopefully they make .25 and .30 eventually

I asked which model Element scope because the "immersive" ones, 10x40 and 12x50 prism types, have extremely short eye relief, like eyelash distance, a centimeter or so; they claim 18mm but I have one and think that number is optimistic/optomestric.
It could be difficult to see the reticle with glasses on unless the glasses are pressed up against the ocular, and the eye pressed as close to the glasses as possible. I have trouble seeing all the reticle: if my eye is in the perfect spot for the center cross, I can't see the edge of the reticle if I just move my eyeball, as that is enough to move my iris outside the tiny eyebox. I have to move my eyeball AND my head a little to re-center my iris. Took a while to learn to do this, and longer to figure out why.

Extremely nice layout for shooting. Great that the drone can take such cool pics too!
Keep up the good fight with the vermin.

To the right, at the fence is about 10 acres or so of grazing land, I happened over there, it's over grown but lots of rodents. I'm not going there, no permission, and not fond of tall grass and ticks. BUT, I can shoot through the fence and snag what I can.

If the POI is low and left of the POA then both turrets need to turn counter clockwise.
Depending on how far off it is, I move a few clicks at a time and recheck. I also take 3 shots to check after the final adjustment to make sure I'm not affecting the shot.

It seems I have chronic reg creep! If left for 5 mins it goes up from the set 85bar to 114bar any ideas, been through the reg, but can't find any obvious reasons, this could also be the reason I can't get a decent shot string with stable FPS, looks like I will have to get a new reg anyway just to check.

Think like your turning a jar lid.. Want to go down tighten the lid (Cross hairs move down) ,up loosen the lid... Same for right and left...

I am an optometrist. If you have a moderate amount of hyperopia or myopia, your eyepiece can usually be adjusted to compensate. If you have a small amount of astigmatism it won't matter a whole lot but if you have more than a small amount you will do better with glasses on. Also consider you may want good vision when looking around the area...glasses on for that. Safety? Never a problem till it is.

Barrel has just over 500 shots since purchased so I hadn’t thought to clean it. Chrony was cleaned just before taking the shots in the pic. As soon as I get a chance I will weigh and head size some pellets and retest with them. Thanks for the ideas.

The Long .22 is Very Tempting!!

28” of unchoked pure awesomeness in .22 caliber!

For a Blue Locktite replacement I have been using Vibra-Tite VC-3 for some time now. It allows me to assemble and disassemble parts without having to worry about issues of binding or needing heat to release. If allowed the propper curing time this product seems to hold things as well as the blue stuff.

If you gonna hunt, get the scout. The moderator for the scout is like 30 bucks from buck rail and it makes the scout backyard friendly. the scout also has the punch and power for more distance, and humane quick kills. Especially in .25. Scout has a 5 year warranty. All in all, the scout is just an all around hunting/pesting rifle, where the Notos is more a lightweight close in pester.
