I’ve always been baffled by the “not stabilize” until past 50 yards (or whatever distance). What I don’t get is mediocre groups at 50Y, but accuracy and precision improves at past 75Y (or whatever)?

What I don’t get is how a slug that is left, for example, at 50Y knows to redirect slightly right past 75Y, and one that is right knows to go left?
Or, perhaps the groups at 100Y aren’t better than at 50Y but relatively better? That makes a little more sense I guess…

If I had a gun that shot slightly left at 50 and slightly right at 100, I would be confused as well. That sounds like more of a scope issue than a gun issue.

What I'm seeing is 1-1.5 MOA groups at 50 yards and .7-.9 MOA groups at 100 yards and beyond.

When I have time, I'm going to try to tune to the next slower node and see how it groups at 50, 100, 150, 200 and 250. If my theory on the speed causing initial instability is correct, I might see better groups at 50 that gradually degrade at distance. If that's the case, I may shoot slower for NRL22 and speed back up for longer range matches.

My only question is does it contain any aea parts or is it manufactured by whoever does aea? The karma had something on it I recognized.

Put me down for an on site camp spot. Maybe me and the man eating swine can become friends again!!!

Finally stopped raining long enough for Kimmie Two Guns and I to shoot a little. Her HW50S .22, my long barrel 97K .177 and Diana 56TH .177 . Metal targets and chalk targets at 20 and 25 yd. Love the chalk, the targets just get smaller and smaller. I actually shoot a hair better with the 97 than the 56TH because the 97’s trigger is better. Little bit of creep in the T06 2nd stage. Which is okay, manageable, feels like a PCP trigger. But. Every 5 or 6 shots suddenly there’s no creep. Takes being surprised by your shot to the extreme! When you’re talking guns with this kind of accuracy it makes a difference. The Rekord is just more consistent and predictable. Now that we’re shooting again hoping Hector is still available to fix it up. Still a heckuva gun and I love shooting it.

i also heard about alot of people just fill up to 250 bar seems like nothing happen

@daigo - No modifications. Take off the old one and replace it with the SHP. Just remember to put the stock on before you add the 2nd guage (with the DRS classic... I can't speak for the DRS T)

very cool how much power can it get out of it with that plenum lets say turn it up to 160 bar with something over 30 grains im very curious and how many shot counts you would get

@beerthief The fun is the best part.
What pellets were you using?

Nice build 3C! I would like to know how to get a barrel band like you have there.

I'm just the recipient and since they surprised me replacing the barrel under warranty I didn't get any options on the shipping.
But they did use the Ground Advantage.
I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that it will be found and arrive eventually.

I'm in Hawaii, everything I get ground advantage gets lost as soon as it leaves San Francisco, most of it will show up after 3 weeks. Sometimes it sucks living in paradise

There is no need for a spring compressor with a 97. There are several YouTube videos proving this.

Lol, yea thats what my shooting buddy thought. Until, it didn't work, lost a thumbnail and buggerd up couple of fingers. The third time was NOT a charm.

I have a hp max .510 that I changed barrel to .457 that has a slow leak. It has a regulator and worked great all last year. I pulled it out of of gun cabinet a noticed it was empty. Filled it up and it slowly leaked out. I would say 300psi a day. Any suggestions on were to look first?
Thanks in advanced!

Sometimes it can be the fill valve. One way check valve gets stuck open slightly allowing air to escape.

Question - i find that looking at an lcd screen - detracts from my native night vision when i look away from that screen (in scope or an external screen) - anyone have a solution for this?
And or does the zulus have dark enough brightness settings to help mitigate loosing your own (human) night vision until your eyes readjust - after looking at the screen? Thanks Again

Red Monochrome or Sepia color palettes on Pulsar thermals are very easy on the eyes. While they are not the ultra low budget thermals this thread is about, they do have a feature that allows remote viewing on an iPad, phone or computer screen. It would be easy to set up something to monitor a bait site while watching TV or sitting at a desk.

How important is the initial energy dump rt after impact a factor when u shoot for hunting, or gel test for that matter or do prefer a long wound channel .what do folks think ?

Click to expand...

Very important, as long as the round is still moving fast enough to penetrate.

Nice work Franklin. I wish I could shoot that well.
The 20 cal seems a bit to the right, If you checked zero at 30 yards do you think that the pellets were pushed by the wind more than the 177 polygonal barrel? Or do you attribute that to something else?
I have had a rifle zeroed at 25 yards that was off right close but left far out.(scope cant?, it was long ago)

Dana from MountainSport Airguns posted a short video on his Youtube about the Mordax a few days ago.
WARNING: It has pest elimination, so if that's not your thing, don't watch it.

Sooo sweet. Definitely going to start saving for one of these

Hi guys!

I'm waiting for my Western Rattler .452 to arrive in Holland.

Any recommended slugs? What is the max diameter of the slugs that fit the Rattler 45?

Click to expand...

As a long time user of LCS/Western, I recommend that you get one box of a few different sizes from NSA/Mr Hollow Point/ High Arc Hunter. Your specific gun is going to like one round better than the others. The only way you'll know is through trial and error.
