I have had this scope for many years now and it's been on many pistols..I bought it for my S & W model 41 comp pistol in 1978...mainly because it was shorter in length.. it's a Leupold M8 - 4X power very clear optics with a duel cross recital so at about 15 meters a 1" dot will fill the larger post ..that helps me stay on target better than trying to watch the fine cross hairs instead...the eye relief is quite lengthy but manageable...I do believe that Leupold still carry's a lifetime warranty still ...1" scope rings.. the Vintage Weaver 1" Scope Rings Mounts With Large Thumb Wheels are my most favorite scope rings to use it's very clean looking over today's rings...there are a few sets left on eBay for about 25 dollars.. eBay item number:388765348256...this one is still available...I just bought the other set...sorry I couldn't help myself...as for the scope I just looked on eBay and almost hit the floor...they are going for 500 dollars used..holy crap..here's the item number if you want to check it out....eBay item number:277106566603....I only took it off the 41...because I started shooting competition plates and I needed a red dot for faster target acquisition...I put on a Quick Point from Weaver...with variable 4,6,8 MOA I can cut cards @25 yards with that pistol...if you need anymore info Steveoo..hit me back...Marker

That's great information friend thank you. It looks very nice with a clean simplicity just like the 150 it's fixed to.

I had the Lazer and lens put in eyes last year. Don’t wear glasses any more.
The sights are what came on and not sure if correct.
The 601 was shooting so low.
I haven’t bought a gas can in 20+ years. Bought one last month and the 601 shot so low I hit my new gas can. View attachment 583742PMO. My mistake. Shot 10 inches low. Not the greatest target holder. 10 meters.
These guns are the best. Crow

Really Crow? That wasn't the brightest idea. I'm surprised at you.

Oh I don't think you have enough hanging targets either

Love ya Dave

Much safer to put out fipronil — all dead in less than 24hr without risk to your health.

Yeah, yeah, I hear you....

This method "without risk to your health" is a risk to our entertainment at somebody else's expense!!

PS:
BlackICE, in all seriousness, your post was excellent, extremely well informed.

Much safer to put some fipronil on the bait they like, all dead in less than 24hr without risk to your health.

Based on the provided search results, here's information on baiting for Dolichovespula maculata (bald-faced hornet):
Baits and attractants

Sweet Baits (late season): Late in the season, when bald-faced hornets are primarily focused on obtaining carbohydrates (sugars) for energy, they are effectively attracted to sweet substances.
- Examples include:
  - Sugar water
  - Water mixed with jam or fruit jelly
  - Fruit juice
  - Rotten or overly ripe fruit, like bananas
  - Beer
  - A blend of water, vinegar, and sugar
Protein Baits (early season/mid-season): Early in the season, when bald-faced hornets are focused on raising young, they require protein to feed their developing larvae. Studies show that they have strong preferences for certain meats and are attracted to protein sources.
- Examples include:
  - Minced chicken
  - Fish meat
  - Partially cooked ground beef
  - Liverwurst
  - Minced pork or beef (viscera or meat)
  - Bologna
  - Hot dogs
Acetic Acid and Isobutanol Combinations: Research indicates that bald-faced hornets (Dolichovespula maculata) are attracted to acetic acid and are even more strongly attracted to a combination of acetic acid and isobutanol.

Important considerations

Seasonal Baiting: Adjusting your baiting strategy based on the time of year is important.
- Early season: Focus on protein-rich baits to target queens and workers involved in raising young.
- Late season: Switch to sweet baits to effectively target worker wasps.
Trap Design: Effective traps, whether purchased or DIY, are important for containing the hornets.
- DIY traps can be made from plastic bottles with an inverted top section and bait at the bottom.
- Adding dish soap to liquid baits reduces surface tension, making it harder for hornets to escape and speeding up drowning.
Preventing Bee Attraction: When using sweet baits, adding vinegar can deter bees.
Toxic Baits (Use with Caution): Toxic baits, like those containing fipronil, can be effective at controlling populations, but their use requires caution due to potential risks to non-target organisms and environmental contamination. Studies on hydrogel baits are exploring ways to improve the safety and effectiveness of toxic baiting.
Nest Treatment: If a nest is located, professional pest control services or careful application of insecticide dusts can be used to treat the nest directly, but caution is necessary to avoid being stung or scattering the wasps.

In summary, selecting the appropriate bait for Dolichovespula maculata depends on the time of year and the hornets' nutritional needs. Sweet baits are effective in late summer and fall, while protein baits are better suited for early and mid-season. Combining sweet and sour elements, like sugar, water, and vinegar, can also be effective. Utilizing attractants like acetic acid and isobutanol can further enhance baiting efforts. Regardless of the bait type, using well-designed traps and taking precautions to avoid bee attraction and minimize environmental risks are essential for effective and responsible bald-faced hornet control.

I don’t think you would damage it by opening it all the way if anything follow the procedure to reset a star with about 1400 psi and zero Hammer and they didn’t take your time. You can always go higher on the pressure and you can always go up and down on the hammer Until the rifle start shooting the the projectors you choose the way you want. I figure if you need more than 2600 psi on the rack you shooting too heavy for that particular gun but let’s see how it goes.

I'm not so sure about not causing damage by opening it up. I'm worked the damage is done. Springs, o-rings, etc have been exposed to the higher pressure for several days+. I just didn't wanna go thru the process of tuning it, rezero, etc only to find it's creeping all over and needs repair.

Not my friend when they nested inside a tree holding up my backstop, three feet from my target stand you can see in picture. I've been unable to shoot at home for some time..

Just as a heads-up if your gun happens to have a dedicated reg/plenum gauge, replacing it with a digital gauge is very useful for setting up reg pressure.

Darts, spears/javelins, boomerangs/rabbit sticks, atlatls, slings, slingshots, bows, crossbows, springers, PCPs, shotguns, rimfires, centerfires and Spitfires (in a WW2 flying simulation) - all have different performances and require different skill.

All are enjoyable in their own unique ways.

...So I'm fickle (or call it A.D.D. LOL!) and can't restrict myself to one shooting interest. (I'm just as bad with fishing). Keeps life interesting!

Cheers!

As others mentioned, wait until near dark or dark, empty a full can spraying into hole bottom of nest. Stand back let them die for 5-10mins. Cut branches holding nest, get rid of nest. Have a second can of spray for any leftovers.

My wife and I just finished dealing with a massive honey bee infestation inside a tree beside backstop. Four cans of spray and a can of spray foam sealed the deal.

When I purchased my .177 RW in LP and my .177 RW in H.P., I had AOA set tune parameters as follows:
RW L.P.
low tune for 8.3’s <12 fpe WFTF legal
medium for 10.3’s @888 fps HFT legal
high for 13.4’s @815 FPS HFT legal
RW H.P.
low for 10.3 at 890 Hft legal
medium for 13.4 at 815 FPS Hft legal
high for 16.1 at 920 fps - pesting
since my main focus is field target im looking for consistent sub 1.5” groups at 55 yards, obviously smaller the group the better, but thats my standard.
My experience with Diablo shape pellets is they do best below 910 FPS With very few exceptions. Remember unless you’re in an enclosure wind and even thermal drift is a thing From moment to moment.

Thx. Looks like the stock redwolf need a tune. Ill go for tuning when heliboard arrives

This is link to the Universal Huma Reg Tester on their website. They have a How To video included there. If you don't have a bottle I'm guessing you could still use it with directly from compressor. Would only have air in the hose and compressor cylinder for few functionality test though. But you'd still know your set point regardless.
Below are pics of the interior o-rings. I had my reg slip off the lower one twice, which released all the air suddenly. Scared the poop out of me, and thought I'd broken something the first time. Didn't hurt anything, but I do think they should use larger o-rings to prevent that.

Now have the adapters for other regulators such as for the stock Snowpeaks. However for me that would be $40+USD shipping for a $15USD part. Hard to justify that.

Which 13.4? The monster or monster redesign?

Mine doesnt shoot the 10.3 at low setting - 920fps. Group is too big
Mine doesnt shoot monster 13.4 at 830fps in low. Groups too big

It shoots 16.2 930fps in high and 13.4 monster redesign 810fps in low - perfect groups.

Is this ok from a new redwolf?

Mine like the JSB 13.4’s both types at 810 fps so my results are similar

Thx!
The regular monster at low setting - which gives 830fps - do not group at all. Only the redesign do group at 815fps in low setting.
I will try to see if the regular monster will group at another speed - but need heliboard to arrive for that
I would think that 810fps to 830fps - 20fps difference shouldnt open the group up that much as mine are at 830fps. But Ill see when I can tune it.

I have bougt a new Redwolf .177 HP

Today I did shoot it for the first time. I did 3x pull trough to clean barrel before shooting

I was at the understanding that the setting low, medium and high should be used with JSB heavy, monster and beast (or equal from Rangemaster) due to writings and reviews.

This is my results on 20yards
Low: JSB 10.34 - 930fps (1.5cm group)
Med: JSB 13.43 - 910fps (1.5cm group)
High: JSB 16.20 - 930ps (5mm group - hole in hole)

I then tried the Monster redesign 13.43 in low setting which gave 815fps and 5mm group - hole in hole
I tried the Monster 13.43 in low setting which gave 830fps and 1.5cm group

So its shooting JSB Monster redesign at low setting and JSB beast at high setting - both to perfection

is this spot on or am I missing something about pellet choice here?

Mine like the JSB 13.4’s both types at 810 fps so my results are similar

I think with any gun barrels will slightly differ in preferences so I don’t think there is really a normal. The heli board should open up options a lot as you can easily tune it more fine than a stock red wolf which in reality is actually very limited unless you want to get in the weeds with the daystate tuner.

I have ordered a heliboard. Should arrive in 10days

Do you have a link to the butt stock? Is it a direct fit or needs some modification? And can you change that ugly grip?

My specific butt stock is a raw. But any AR15 stock will work there are dozens of different styles to choose from.

All you need is the ar15 buffer tube that threads right in to the back of the pistol. No mods needed. And the butt stock slips over the buffer tube.

Same with the grip. Dozens to choose from, any ar15 grip will work.

Not all stocks and buffer tubes are designed to work in conjunction with one another and you may need a castle nut depending on what style you choose. Let me if you have more questions about compatibility.
