Let me know when you find out. Mine had a weird shift on the parallax where something at 50 yards only came into focus at the 100 yard mark. I had to just guess the distances at my last shoot, and I guessed wrong.

RTI RTI Mora just keeps getting better.

More RTI MORA stuff. If you guys get bored with this, let me know, I'll stop.
Thursday at the range with the .25 caliber Mora shooting 1026.7 fps
Today after 150 frustrating shots with the AEA 33.9 pellets which apparently my gun does not like.
Over the course of the last week I've shot over 800 of the 33.9 pellets in both JSB and AEA brands from speeds of 860 all the way through 990 fps. I've have no luck at getting them to group or even land consistently at any speed. Very disappointed with the AEA 33 grain pellets in this gun. Fortunately, my Skout Epoch absolutely loves them.
Anyway, I switched to 29.5s in the last few minutes of this mornings session, and decided to try 1030fps which had been recommended to me by another shooter. (sorry, I don't remember who it was). I bumped the reg up ever so slightly and hit 1030 instantly. I then proceeded to grouped 5 shots in a fingernail size hole (about 1/2 MOA at 100yds) and decided to shoot a target.
This was the immediate result.

Tuning .177 for Hunter FT or just a nice hunter

You hurt my feelings...For a Field Target rig ... your shared trigger break weight on another post is a tad much still IMO
Ideally 6oz or less is generally desired.
Great looking rig tho
Fixed it

Low power tuning for Avenge-X
- By Vana2

My .22 caliber Avenge-X was factory set to shoot 25 grain pellets very accurately, anything lighter was scattered into a loose pattern.
The problem was that the regulator was set to minimum at 150 bar and (mechanically) could not be reduced to shoot lighter pellets. Crosman 14.4 grain were running around 1000 fps.
I had intended to get .177 and. 25 barrel kits for the Avenge-X and test the whole spectrum of weights on that platform. Given the regulator issue I canceled the project and returned the PCP for refund.
.177 target rifles usually are setup to shoot wadcutters at 500 to 650 fps. I've had good luck shooting .22 caliber wadcutters at low speeds (guessing around 500 fps) from my Benjamin 392 multi-pump but since I was just plinking, I never checked the velocity of did any grouping.
Suggest that you check to see how low you can set your regulator.
Below you can see how the pellet weight affected the (5 shot) group size. Obviously, my Avenge-X was tuned to the 25 grain pellets.
Cheers!

Other Airgun for Squirrel?

I have dealt with squirrels for quite a few years, not tree squirrels as I like them and they don't cause me trouble yet.. fortunately they have not stolen any of my walnuts..
I have only dealt with ground squirrels and grey diggers..I don't know for sure but I think gray digger is the Oregon name of the California ground squirrels.. they all must die
I don't recognize the name of your trap.. unless it is something you made up
the name for..I sent you a PM, don't know if you are able to read it..
