Is that really true though? I wonder if the breach piece in the leopard is identical to the other models using the dynamic block ?? If so you could buy the caliber change kit from Huma and while not as easy as the platforms you mentioned it wouldn’t be that bad to swap out.

I understand that it is different.

I will not bash Nate . He does what he does period .

I was experimenting with different front sight inserts and today I went with the biggest circle I have. A 5 I think. I had one get away from me and I knew it. Usually I feel the first stage of the trigger. I guess I was a little heavy fingered I think I’ll stick with this insert for a bit and see how it goes

Kind of like the arms race. M-Rod folks just have a M-Rod or a few. Not like we bought a FX1, then a FX2, then a FX3 then a FX4 and then a FX5 and then a upcoming FX6 where the number of FX guns to be owned is equal to N+1. Of course it has been pointed out that modding the old M-Rod is a waste of time and money but a much lesser waste of time and money compared to N+1 FX air guns, modding them with very high $ parts and then trying to flip them at a huge loss to get that new N+1 model that must surely be better than the old one from a few weeks ago. I mean, like, who would want last week's old busted down and not new and shiny anymore when they can waste some more time and money with a cool new FX with a fake magazine sticking out the bottom for some awful reason and a tactical stock to play operator in the back yard.

Absolutely correct.

I have one of these. Good for a quick top-off if I don't want to drag a tank or compressor out of the shop.
Not super fast, but very convenient. The set pressure cutoff works well. Verified with a manual gauge...

I have Makita tools and some knockoffs. Can even use my GX batteries!

I like the look of that too, especially on the GK1! I saw that combo in this video and really like his setup:


He's using a DonnyFL also but I'm not sure exactly which one.

If you own a Triggercam 2.1, do you feel it has improved your shooting technique? Your accuracy? I'm considering one but I can also buy a lot of pellets for $600!!!

I alternate filming between a Side-Shot and a Triggercam. No I don’t think either help make you a better shooter. The only exception might be filming the timing of your trigger pull vs your breathing.

Interesting question. First thought was it doesn’t matter but it can’t hurt to keep ambient air out of your filter cartridge. I would say keep them closed. Can’t hurt

Click to expand...

I agree that ideally you would want to isolate the desiccant from ambient air, as it will pull moisture out of it and reduce its life that way. Also, there may be water droplets in the compressor (post compression) and in the hose to the desiccant filter, and those will get adsorbed by the filter too. The ideal for the filter would probably be to separate the line from the compressor and then cap the input to it with some kind of dead head to seal it off (I never saw a female dead head anywhere, so I made my own out of a female foster fitting and a hex grab screw as a plug and it works), and cap the outlet too, easiest done with a dead head to the female foster fitting that connects to the tank.. Obviously I'd close the bleed valve on the filter too.

But I think I'd leave the bleed open on compressor, at least slightly to reduce compression on the face of the seat, and then leave the line out uncapped for it to breath and let any remaining liquid water evaporate too.

Just my guess on what would be best . . . .

I was just telling perle I will jump in when they release a 177 I have too many 22s, 25 is covered and no use for bigger.

I fear it's the bait that always gets me. Budget gun that becomes a Frankenstein money pit.

"I fear it's the bait that always gets me. Budget gun that becomes a Frankenstein money pit." HAHAHAHAHA although this really can apply to any air gun .

I don't like Nate's content because he doesn't have the knowledge to know what he is talking about. The videos are just fluff (which might be fine for the regular viewer) but they have literally no value or substance for anyone with even a minimal level of airgun experience, and Nate has clearly stated in the past he is:

1. Only doing these videos to make money.
2. Cranking them out as fast as possible to keep up with company demands.

All that does is make him a shil for questionable products that are always great.

Respect is earned and that never happened as Nate came on here asking Impact tuning questions for a month or more not having a freakin clue how to tune anything and then having the audacity to produce a video with a "Impact Master Class" title. Dude you are not Ernest Rowe nor do you have 5% of his knowledge - don't embarass yourself making a "master class" anything.

The fact he reported the compressor broke is not surprising as there was a thread where he destroyed about 7-8 compressors in the span of a year.

I definitely get what you are saying. I guess my take isn’t quite as harsh. Still watch just about every week. Just dig new airgun content.

gargantuanly large. Hmmm have you investigated other brands ? i have an ODB that's 5 inch long and quiet ( another ambiguous term)

Couple more string through the .22 with the JTS Dead Center 21.53 gr and JSB Jumbo Monster Light 20.83 gr. Will probably turn the reg down a little, still on factory setting sitting at roughly 2,100 psi. Starts falling off reg just under 2 mags, about 37 shots, so will make it 2 full mags before falling off reg. When I decide to get one in .25 I'll probably turn it down even more for more shots as it will be 80% for plinking at that point, and shoot 18 grainers.

Started falling off the reg last few shots with the Dead Centers. Will play around later this week with grouping. It's never been pellet picky for the accuracy I need it for, thrown all kind of pellets through it and as long as I'm playing my role it's hit precisely where I need for pesting so far. If I do it justice and find a pellet it really likes I'm sure it'll be even more precise, even tho it already outshoots me

JSB Jumbo Monster Light 20.39

That is some really good numbers. I wrote down the pellets you used , and will try them. Most are just over 900 I thought for accuracy we were supposed to be between 880 to 890 for the sweet spot speed according to Nate's video's.

Nice work, Gongetit!

When you get your bottle band tweaked to perfection, please send me the stl file as I am running the same bottle and Huben Cricket reg as you. My reg was creeping at first but seems to be settling in.

For the life of me i cannot figure why anyone would even think to do this ? Totally unbelievable !

First 2 shots this morning with the Taipan Veteran 2 550mm .22 @ 20yds on the flies I drew both head shots....for you Thomas, I really miss him....

What is the nearest distance at full power that the scope will focus on?

Click to expand...

Thanks I clearly understand that.
I only have 15 yards in backyard , or 45 feet as I say it , and have used it on full power to shoot sharpie dots very clearly. Never tried to shoot at a closer range , so today when I'm out there I will.

I suggest .22 simply because it is the most popular caliber and has the most projectile choices. Also .22 will have a better BC than .25.

ctshooter said:

I don’t want to detract from the OPs issues, but it’s a slow leak over several weeks. It does leak down below reg pressure but then stops around 50-60bar.

That’s the one thing I have not tried. I’ll swap in another gauge and see if that does it.

Click to expand...

I actually don't think it is, he just doesn't use it. So he never really looks at it, but every time he picks it up, it's empty.

Expansion matters!!

So does wind resistance.

shooting a 15gr slug with a bc of .078+ is a lot easier to put on target than a 16.2gr pellet at the same speed with a BC of .035
