Thanks to everyone that gave me suggestions. I could not decide between the raw and the taipan so like a true degenerate with no self control I got them both, and I don’t regret it one bit.

I bought a pistol from Tractor Supply , Its like a bug a salt but it has twice the power of the rifle, Knocks the flys and bees down,,,,
The rifle bug a salt is just to weak, No power ,,,

PCP Rifle - Rapid Air Worx Theoben Hm 1000x .25 for Sale or Trade

The gun was sent to Raw they replaced pellet probe and bolt assembly and went through the gun on warranty work. It will be back here in my hands Monday 4-7 Not much to say the gun is in very good working condition like most Raws. very very accurate shot on shot get plenty of shots from one...

www.airgunnation.com

This right here. I think it’s a smoking deal. Love a .25 caliber as it really packs a punch and easier to spot holes in paper. If I were in the US, it would have already been sold.

I did end up getting that specific gun. it’s awesome. Thanks for the info

Hey everyone, I've been watching the Stoeger XM1 Rangers and Scouts for a long time. I've also been interested in their bullpup. BUT, when Airgun Revisions had them on sale, I pulled the trigger and bought one in .22 caliber. So far I LOVE IT! In the following pics you'll see my groups at 30 yards. Keep in mind this was done without any tinkering so the hammer spring was in stock setting. Some of the groups were flying at 950/960 fps! So I'll update when I get more dialed in but so far it seems to like most pellets. I tried CPHPs and they were just too fast to shoot a good group, but you can see my H&N Barracuda Match, Field Target Trophy, FX & Hades (which both did really well) and JSB Jumbo Heavy groups did fairly well. So what kind of Stoeger do you have? What distance to you shoot? And what kind of groups do you get with what ammo? Looking forward to seeing the targets!

Nice shooting !

I have the tensioner installed an my L2 .30, 350mm. I have only shot a few times at approximately 40 yards. At that distance it was hard to tell if there was much improvement on accuracy, but I think there was a small improvement. I’ll have to play around with it some more. In any case, I think the tensioner will probably be more effective on longer barrels. After all, the barrel is supported almost halfway up (on the 350mm) by the receiver block so the tensioner is really only effecting a few inches of an already very stiff barrel. I do like the look but I wish it wasn’t so shiny.

What a great break in session !

I have no idea how that might work out. I've only ever heard of tariffs being charged on new items, but I'm no expert on the matter.

well at some point hopefully we will know.. I don't like bad surprises, but sooner or later someone is likely going to find out, hopefully not the hard way.. mess up a deal between two people in the classifieds..
guess that's about all my questions in this..
the rest is wait and see what is still available, what is temporarily unavailable and what no longer exists..
hopefully we still see new stuff coming out and hopefully we can at least still obtain the parts needed to keep our toys running..
I guess summary of Tyler Patner video is that likely the major shock we have coming is compressor prices..

No your post was very helpful. I think the Manufacturer not being clear on the oring sizes is confusing. Granted they do include some when buying so I guess a quick measurement wouldn't hurt.

So I see you mentioned you checked your orings for fitment and they were good. So your Ukraine Vet did use the 21x3mm ones?

Click to expand...

I remember replacing the tube orings in the Ukraine Vet but it's been too long for me to remember whether they were the 21x3 or the 23x3. That Ukraine Vet was from R&L, around 2018 or maybe 2017 I think. I replaced all the orings in it a few years ago, but again, that couple years has fogged the memory of exact sizes. The two that were manufactured in Czech have needed less, and probably didn't "need" any. Rebuilt the reg in the Long, couple probe orings, and Ive ruined a couple of orings under the manometer by degassing there versus using the hammer spring tension. I prefer cracking the manometer open cuz then I don't lose my hammer spring tension setting for desired power. But sometimes the escaping air ruins the gauge oring.

I think that chart in the link for the Vet oring assistance was originally from the Mutant via info Orion shared. Sounds like the earliest Vets and the Mutants shared an oring size for the tubes? And the CZ Vets have a different Oring size for the airtubes. I've had some interactions with @RadioFlyer and he's as trustable as they come. He says this is the case, I believe him.

They have a website to visit? I want one too, I HATE the Notos standard cocking lever. That is what stops me from shooting it very often, that and the small round count in the mags.

Click to expand...

Big Air Precision AKA @Tango Sierra makes 15 rd mags for the notos that are really nice

These look like they would be a game changer for the notos. Let us know how it holds up. I am hesitant because it’s plastic. @Firewalker does one that is modified from the maverick lever I believe, but it’s pricey.

absolutely gorgeous there, looks like you live out in the woods like I do..
what a awesome range, although it looks like you have way too many targets to shoot.. would be hard to figure out which one first
with such a nice range, and so many targets, hopefully you have some friends that come by and shoot with you a bit.. if so it would have been nice if they could have dropped in and helped you with all the storm cleanup..
wonderful pictures.

Was getting 2 10 shot mags at avg 420fps before it would start to drop off.
After new valve mod light hammer and short heavy slingshot hammer spring it's getting 4 mags starting at 417 up to 425 and ending on 416 and starts to drop off on shot 42 down to high 300s. Want to tune it to 470 but I'm loving the super consistent high shot count and rapport.
Hammer spring is all the way out and have quite a bit of adjustment available. View attachment 558376

I like both my bottle and GX CS2. The CS2 takes up less room so it is easier to use with the gun still on the bench. Usually I would carry the gun to the bottle but might carry the CS2 to the gun. The CS2 needs about 3 minutes to fill my little guns which is at least 2 minutes longer than my bottle but I can fill magazines while the CS2 works. The CS2 makes more noise but it isn't really loud. If you want the least cost option I would just get the little CS2. If you can afford both I see advantages to a bottle and compressor to fill it. But a small portable compressor doesn't give up a lot in functionality. I see it as a good do-it-all solution. My YH + bottle did what I needed but I don't see trying to travel by air with either of them. I think I could with the CS2.

I was smiling about the noise. I use my CS3 at the range and have only had one noise complaint, from a guy who was shooting a .308 Winchester. He complained about the compressor noise, and I asked if he was serious. The other shooters all turned their heads and started laughing at the incredulity. The .308 shooter clued in and also laughed.

I ended up picking up a used .357 Max and tuned it down to be a backyard night pesting gun. This one probably gets the most use now out of my entire collection.

I know this is an olllllddddd post so I’m hoping you’re still on the channel. I just bought this gun and I like your bottle setup. Which bottle is it and was it an easy fit?

Nice shooting !

so, the Leapers DNT06 mount has been discontinued but Archer shows them it stock at 12.99 cheap
so get them while you can
nope they don't have any either look like th DNT06 is gone
Hawke makes 2 droop mounts they use a pivot pin in the front you can adjust and clamp at many more angles

Original "MUTANTS" in .177 were rare, but VETERANS which are Very very very similar can be found in .177
Personally have one of each ... Mutant in .22 & Vet in .177

I have never purchased a taipan in 177 .. i had a .177 cricket compact . but they come out ones in a wile some times will be looking out for the next . 177 taipan one for sale.

It’s gonna be interesting when all the “yutes” (watch my cousin Vinny) have to give up being influencers because all the crap they’re pimping costs too much. That’s a positive, amidst the wreckage.
