FX  Benchrest 50m with pellets: Fx Panthera or Fx Leopard?

JackHughs
The best advice would come from those who have actually shot these rifles at 50 m with pellets. I have not and I would also like to hear of Panthera success stories with pellets. I have a .22 700 Panthera that I bought specifically to shoot slugs and, so far I'm not real impressed with its slug-shooting performance at 50 yards.

HW/Weihrauch  Walnut HW95 ??? What gives ???

jps2486
For the most part, walnut stock options for HW and AA rifles are meh! It's a richer look, but for the most part, the grain is pretty plain. Rhyme not intended. You may win the lottery and get one with some nice figure, but I think that's pretty rare. I have 4 springers: FWB300SU with factory stock, HW95 with a factory walnut stock, a Beeman R7 with a Corcoran stock and a TX200 with a custom walnut stock from the UK. The custom stocks cost more, but are worth it from the standpoint of appearance and quality.

Ataman  What do you guys think of the Ataman AP16?

D
I rated superb though it is definitely not perfect. I find it to be a quality piece in fit and finish, it's very accurate, reasonably powered and air efficient. Styling while subjective, I think she's a beauty. My biggest con is that one must be considerate/aware of how low the pressure is getting while shooting, if too low on pressure it tends to let all the air out after a shot. I typically shoot 3 mags and top off, I can usually get 4 mags on a fill but charge early as caution.

On the front tank installation; you just drain the air and unscrew the front tank and screw the new one on. Or is there more to it than just that.

Joe Brancato at Airtanksforsale will know the answer to your question assuming the compressor and replacement controller came from them.

The compressor and replacement controller came from Airtanksforsale. I texted Joe requesting wiring info, he never answered. I was hoping for a speedier resolution.

Favorite El Cheapo’s

The old .22 Maximus (with trigger upgrade and TKO) still shoots great. It hasn't leaked in 6 yrs and still hits 865 fps with cphp and 830 with JSB 15.9. Hits 1" spinners at 30 yds all day shooting off hand. Easy 2000 psi fill gives 25 good shots.

My Stormrider has higher velocity but groupings aren't as good as Mad Max. Still fun to shoot with 7 round mags.

Diana chaser is just a fun plinker. 570 fps with Hobby 11.9 and accurate enough to make pellet tins jump.

Guns with a reg in bypass can still shoot pretty good. But a gun with a bad barrel won’t shoot even with a great reg. At least you were able to get a barrel. But ironically can’t get a reg. Crazy.

Yeah that really sucks and I hear you, no barrel no gun… can’t get one through Tony either?! My guess would be that AGT is hesitant to ship barrels overseas for whatever reason but their distributor should be able to get one I would think… I think I got lucky that the submoa just got out so there were some…

I have an iPhone 15 Pro and *do* have wifi-calling enabled, always have. But, I was not aware it was good for international calls too. Thank you!!

Update 2025-05-14 7:20 PM EDT
- I just called Krale using Wi-Fi calling and it works fine. I knew Krale in Netherlands was closed, and got their ... "press '2' for English" and then was told in English they were closed at this time.

Important: To insure only using wi-fi and not cellular.
1. Enable Airplane Mode.
2. Connect to your wi-fi.
3. Make call and prefix calling number with "011", the US exit code.

Example: To call Krale.... dial .... 011-31-522-46 12 84

You are welcome! Just keep in mind to still check with your provider, i've never been charged but I use T-Mobile.

Sorry I didn't see the edited portion, good to read!

Trigger Pull. Tempest in a tea cup?

trapdoor2
I prefer crisp and consistent...with noticeable staging, minimal overtravel. Preferred weight...it depends. I "grew up" in Highpower Service rifle...4.5lb min.
My BPCS rifle has set triggers, IIRC 1lb.
The Mrod measures 1.75lbs...but the 1st stage is loooonnnngggg...and there a pile of overtravel. I usually do my own trigger work. Made some basic adjustments...but just haven't gotten to tuning it...yet.

FX  I just gotta vent...

Last Thursday I purchased a 600mm .177 Barrel Kit for my Impact. I purchased from UA because they were the one vendor that showed it in stock. I called to see if they were running any specials for Mother's Day. I was told no. I asked about free shipping because I have read that others have gotten free shipping if they called in their order. Nope, that's usually only for orders over $1000! Well, FX barrel Kits are over priced and down't even come with a magazine, but thankfully, they aren't $1000! So, I hang up and place my order through their website so I can use PayPal 6 months 0 interest. Then Friday morning, I get an e-mail saying they have free shipping all weekend for Mother's Day! What the... Really, their staff didn't know they were offering free shipping the next day and could have told me? I could have easily waited a day if I had known.... Shipping was $19, so I tucked that away and will use another vendor next time.

I received the Barrel Kit on Monday. I installed it and tested it today. Nothing would group and pellets felt as if they were snagging as they were loading into the barrel. At this price point, you'd think you'd get a quality product! Not knowing what was causing this I pulled the barrel and checked the loading end. There was no bevel at all and the angle looked quite sharp. I took a cone shaped grinding wheel and gently grinder a small bevel by hand then polished it and the inside of the bore. I put it back together and cleaned it really well and now it's stacking pellets and they are loading like butter! You know, like they should have to begin with!

A couple weeks ago, I purchased a refurbished Hatsan Flash-R in .177. Yea, I had to fight to get the fill port off the air cylinder because the fill valve was leaking. And, I had to recrown and polish the barrel to get decent groups, but it's shooting small clover leafs at 50 yards now! I had to put some work into it, but it was a $195 refurb, not a brand new $325 FX barrel kit!

Fortunately, the .177 Impact barrel is working fine now, but I still feel at that price, I shouldn't have to rework the bore to get pellets to load smoothly! I feel fortunate to have been hanging around here long enough to actually know what to look for and how to fix it! Thanks Airgun Nation!

sounds like the barrel was installed backwards

If you have a newer cellphone 2021 and up you should have wifi calling. You just have to enable it on your phone and you shouldn't get charged.

I have an iPhone 15 Pro and *do* have wifi-calling enabled, always have. But, I was not aware it was good for international calls too. Thank you!!

Update 2025-05-14
- The below information about free wifi international calling with my AT&T plan was incorrect! I was billed by AT&T for calling Krale in the Netherlands. - I would have had to add an international plan to my AT&T mobile account.
- With my plan, I cannot call anywhere in the word for free by using airplane mode and wifi calling :(.
- With my plan, all wifi calling does is prevent international roaming charges.
