Yes, I've been reading and watching some video's on the Astille and quiet is the common theme. Did you get the middle extension piece as well? The nose cone seems to be the setup but not sure if the center section extension is really needed. Thanks!

No I did not get the middle piece. I like a more compact look and it is very quiet as is.

I wonder what the percentage of guessing is posted here,I am guessing ,I think a lot of guessing,Over the years I know for a fact certain posters do not guess,they are full of facts and experience that can actually help people ,I am guessing most of these posters do not post often because facts take more time and studying than guessing.Then again I admit I may be guessing ,that makes me a hypocrite ,what a relief that was

The zelos is ok, but def find the snowpeak veraion instead, the M60b has a better trigger, the stoeger bullshark also. Alot of fans of the zelos on here, it just was not for me and i tried a couple of them to be sure it was not a fluke.lol, I do know of Leon not ever met him.

Just curious, what did you not like about the Zelos ?

Split my time between Oregon and South Dakota. The Black Hills will be our final resting place... I'm done with the west coast as beautiful as it is.

Cindy, Bill Leo and all the unnamed helpers make the Rockville GP one of our favorites to attend year after year.
Every GP has its own flavor and the added ice cream added several more.

Thanks for putting on an enjoyable well run event. See you in October for the Nationals !!!!

Good luck with the Camaro build. Keep us updated on BOTH!

@Poke-E I haven’t done business with them. Have you searched for info on this shop?
Here are some AGN search results. Maybe checkout out other sites for more recent feedback.

Where is Chad at Lethal Air?

I hate to start out with a post on this subject but does anyone know what is going on with Lethal Air? I placed an order on the 26th of January, my credit card has been charged and I have a confirmation email of the order entry. Crickets! I cant raise anyone by phone, goes to voice mail. No...

Lethal Air Midlothian BAD/owner GOOD

My personal experience with Lethal Air in Richmond Virginia has been nothing but a runaround. The guy just runs a hobby shop but is never there and does not treat anyone professionally. Case in point, he had my Wildcat for over 3 months to have a Huma installed. He told me he was going to...

These are mostly old but are what came up in a couple of searches. I think Chad @LethalAir is active on AGN at times. Maybe reach out to him.

One of mine leaked down in a matter of hours, it was a problem as soon as I got it. Some poor metal work in manufacturing was the culprit and was damaging O rings. Got it fixed and it’s great, has held air for months.

If you are really serious about wanting to squeeze every bit of accuracy out of your 499B, then buy a few barrels to try. The barrels are cheap and some do shoot with higher precision than others. These guys that have their kids shooting in the National events buy numerous barrels and test shoot them until they find the best of the bunch!

I bought a 499B barrel then cut and fit into a co2 revolver. This revolver shoots with such precision now it's nearly unbelievable!

That's a good idea what a cool effective mod thanks for sharing.

East central Alabama. We call it Gods country.

I use the precision stage timer watch app and then put an AirPod in one ear. Has a shake to start so don’t have to think about it once stage starts.

I think OP’s issue is that his ad’s getting buried quickly so nobody sees it. People have to know everything you posted above and must intentionally set those filters to only see new ads. I’ve been a member for like three years and never knew about the option to filter ads by original posts only. What do you figure the percentage of others who know about this option are, maybe 5% (optimistically)?

I don’t sell a ton here so I don’t have a dog in this fight often, just playing devil’s advocate here. But thanks for the above info!

I knew i came to the right place. All this info is helpful with the most common solution being go with a quality more entry level gun to learn on. I still like the Stoeger Scout but the Zelos keeps getting mentioned and there are options for adding a bottle. I hadn't considered the Zelos before but am now.

Scotay, I'm in Methenburg county (as we're known), southern Ky. near Tennessee. My 3D was all at a local level around Clarksville, Tn. and in Georgia where I'm from. Interesting tidbit..... If you know Leon Pittman who founded Last Chance archery.... he was a member of our club in Ga. when he was just retiring from I think Bell South and before he got rich, lol.

I have an older Daisy 499 (about 15 years old) and it has a plastic cocking lever. Does anyone know if there is a metal replacement lever available?

Yes Cobalt327 on eBay you can get anything you desire for your 499b excellent seller with good pricing.

You have given us a lot to chew on with your questions on getting started in the PCP world. Have you set a budget for total expenses? I am going to work with $1,000 dollars as a good round starting point. You want a dependable and reliable airgun. Are you thinking of Bullpups, rifles or carbine style? Take a look at the Air Venturi Avenge-X line of guns and you should find something that works for you: $500 -> 800 depending on preferance ( https://www.pyramydair.com/search-results-ext?keyword=avenge-X ). Next you will want a compressor and I suggest the GX CS3-I ($400) as a solid starter compressor that has proven trouble free for me these past 3 years: ( https://www.pyramydair.com/search-results-ext?keyword=avenge-X ). I also suggest adding some kind of in-line filter at maybe $60: this is a good starter: ( https://www.amazon.com/Separator-Compressor-4500Psi-Pressure-Connector/dp/B0CYZV1KC6?ref_=ast_sto_dp ). And finally you will want to purchase a variety of pellets to test with your rifle and shoot as you get familiar with this new hobby.

As you can see. Like any hobby, PCP airguns can be as expensive as your choices lead you. Remember to enjoy the journey and have fun along the way.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention a scope but you are a powder burner and may have something laying around.

Thanks for the feedback. I’ve ordered one and it’s on the way.

Crapifornia - the butt end.
