N/A  Chronograph readings being accurate

I had a more expensive chronograph until I shot it one too many times trying to get a reading. I now use two inexpensive chronographs and prefer them. They do not give the same velocity but it is within a few fps and close enough for me. They have a more limited window for where the shot needs to be to get a reading. So setting one downrange would be more challenging. On the other hand, accidentially shooting one is less painful, I think, if it only cost $25. The shot window is well within my expected accuracy so it should be possible. I am just after muzzle velocity mainly for tuning purposes and they work great for that. No external lighting needed. I write down the readings but mine do record a string it is just seems challenging to retreive.

Field Target in Lafayette, Indiana

I’m in the process of clearing a field target range and wanted to gauge participant interest. I still need more targets, so if you have some that would be a good.

The caveat is I don’t have alot of parking and we have to walk down a steep hill to the course.

Send me a PM if interested. I like to have a shoot in late April sometime after the Indiana Airgun Show.

RTI  Krait L or RTI P3 Performance

Hi Pfddi, thanks a lot for your quick response. What I meant is that I have a limit for firearms only, which is why I sold the CZ 457. I can own as many airguns as I can afford. Swapping barrels is not something I would be doing, to be honest. I'm thinking of just going with .25.
Ok - then in that case the biggest difference would be the barrels. As I mentioned, the RTI .25 barrel shoots both slugs and pellets and the Krait L comes with either a choked or non-choked barrel, so really one or the other. If you want a gun that shoots slugs, either will work but make sure you get the un-choked barrel in the Krait.

New scope

Very excited to use this and a big step up from my cheapo one. Already much nicer to use and the image is loads easier on the eyes. Unfortunately my pump broke so it'll have to wait a bit till I get this used compressor deal for 150$.

It's worth noting that a kind member which name is not to be disclosed as I don't know if they want to be mentioned in public bought this for me. This community is nice and it's amazing how someone would go out of his way to help a new airgunner. So thank you to the good man who helped me on this. And I made a friend along the way!

HW/Weihrauch  New Weihrauch day, finally.

I am patiently waiting for my Weihrauch HW97k .22 with walnut stock. Should be here today. This is my first air gun so I have a lot to learn. I am 80 yrs old so not a lot of time left to enjoy it. Now I need to select scope and mounts. No hunting, just plinking.

Air Venturi  Avenge- x classic

I have both 22 and 25 barrels for mine. After shooting the 25 I put the 22 barrel up for long-term storage as I'm not going to use it. My particular gun shoots the .25s better and in my opinion, you can't do any better than the Hades pellet. Yes it's more expensive to shoot than the tutu. But it's a different experience I like it much more than the tutu.

RTI  Krait L or RTI P3 Performance

@MadeInRu

Welcome to the forum.

You are in luck in that I have both guns! I like both but if I had to pick one and especially in your case with a limited number per license, I would go with the P3 as you can swap out the barrels easily - if that is allowed within the terms of the license. The P# in .22 and .25 with thei RPB barrel is one of the few that I have owned that will acutally shoot both pellet s and slugs well. I currently have my P3 with the .25 barrel and I am shooting 30.2g AEA slugs out of it at and it is maintaing groups the size of a 0.01 EU (thumb size and smaller...).

As you sdaid, both are bullpups and are very easy to carry around and to hunt with - sepecially in thick wooded or brush areas. The P3 .22 barrel is 600mm and the Krait L is 550mm. The P3 is actually easier to adjust. The Krait s adjustable but in my experience it is more :sensative" to get in the sweet spot. Both are more accurate guns than I can shoot. You really can't go wrong with either.

Skout  Indexing Your Barrel?

Thanks for showing your results.

If you would please do so, shoot some group"s" at 50Y at setting 3 and at setting 9 because it seemed 3 was more precise. I'm just curious as 3 through 6 are more precise as well. Also opposite of that - 10 to 1 going clockwise seem less precise.

All that is to say I'd rather be clocked away from 9 if I can get twice the precision. The problem is it takes quite a bit of trial and error shooting groups in calm conditions to make a fruitful decision.
These were shot indoors at 50 yards. From my understanding you want your barrel at the top of the indexing. Don’t take the group size into consideration as I was limited at my time on the bench and was shooting fairly quickly to get through all 12 positions. I Thought it was interesting that the circle was that large at 50 yards.

Many keep asking about short LVPO scopes

In case you haven't seen it yet -

Not quite on the shelves yet, but you wont get any shorter.
Especially from quality manufacturer.

May tax your bank account a little though.

It's interesting.
Super compact but 3x magnification ratio so will IQ be weird or not??
No side focus or AO either.
Wonder where it's made?
Also would like to find out if illume is nuclear daylight bright or not. If so this scope gets more interesting to me.

A nice thing is it's SFP so reticle should be as easy to see on 3x as on 9x and I assume the reticle is correct at 9x.

FX  While the 600mm Panthera is a great mid-weight slug slinger...

I wanted a heavy-weight projectile pusher. Lucky for me Utah Airguns has the FX Panthera’s on special right now 🤘🏼 so I snagged a 700mm 😎. The first thing I did was move over all my Airmarksman accessories (Undertaker Rail & weights, carbon fiber grip, 300b bottle) and of course the Element Optics Nexus, Studmagloader magazines, and Impulse Airgun 1350 moderator.

This thing is 🔥!!!

FX  FX Crown regulator??

If some o rings are dried out going bad do you not think that more then likely others could be in same condition.
Possibly, but O-rings in a regulator tend to degrade more rapidly than elsewhere in the pressurized system, particularly those on the high pressure side. Meaning those toward the narrow end of the piston. Why is that? Because of thermal stress of the refill cycle. Heat essentially cooks the elastomer and it becomes hard and brittle over time.

This embrittlement is the most common form of “drying out” that occurs. However there is also a slower form caused by oxidation. Lubricating seals with silicone grease slows this effect to some degree by reducing the rate of gas diffusion through the material.

How to cool a cs4 or cs4-i, even better than just bleeding the air pocket.

I guess without knowing exactly how the water is channeled through the radiator, it is difficult to determine if the full benefit of the radiator is being used. The ports are fairly close together as discussed. I wonder if the GX folks would have any comments about that?
You can tell the whole radiator is being used in this position by using a laser thermometer on the opposite side. Or just touch it...

There is a divider between the ports inside the tanks. They are just off the shelf universal radiators used in other applications, such a computers.

The factory has been testing the radiator position themselves and I believe they will be using this position as well.

RTI  Krait L or RTI P3 Performance

Good time of the day, everyone.


A quick introduction: I primarily shoot firearms and have only occasionally shot air guns. I live in the Netherlands, and unlike in the USA, we have a limit of five firearms per personal license. I used to have a CZ 457 for fun shooting, but I had to sell it to make room on my license.


Now, to the main question—I’ve narrowed my search for an air gun down to the Krait L and the RTI P3 Performance. While I’m not a big fan of the bullpup design, I can appreciate its compactness in this case. I’ve spent a fair amount of time on forums reading reviews and getting a general impression of both guns. For me, it's about target shooting at distances of up to 100 meters.


Is there any noticeable difference in performance and accuracy when using slugs and pellets? Or does it mostly come down to personal preference?


I have to add that the P3 looks like something straight out of a Fallout game—a damn paddle, a gas tank, and a steel pipe put together. But in the end, of course, it’s all about the actual quality of the gun.


Thanks a lot in advance!
