10-4. Yeah as long as you’re fine with the trial and error nature of it, there’s nothing to it but to put in the effort.

If you’re lucky, the stack already has a couple of shims that you can experiment with removing. Otherwise you’ll have to remove a washer or a nested pair—meaning ) or ))— and then shim back up.

If you get into it and can’t quite decide how to attack it, report back with the current stack and I’ll see if I can get you pointed in the right direction.

For me it'd come down to general quality and CS. The CS wasn't great with the EVOL I had and there were "issues". If the quality was slightly less on the E2, and it still ran okay, but the CS was better/could be counted on for a quick solution, then I'd go for the E2.

I didn't buy 'edit that AAA' and not sure ever will, so.....

The gk1 is not designed nor do the specs call for 80fpe in that pistol. Do folks push it to that point yes, but at a risk.
We have tested our moderator to 50FPE in the GK1 and the shorty GK1 w 33.95g, that in our shop is max power for the GK1. I do beleive the manual states 45joules is the range out on the GK1. I have not tested the moderator on the GK1 to 80fpe nor will we.
We have had several gk1 pistols in the shop to replace the sear catch arm and the trigger arm due to folks pushing the limit, just a word of caution.
Have we tuned airguns beyond factory, yes, but we take the time to replace or improve on any parts we think will not handle the new specs.
We use this moderator for our Taurus which produces 360fpe in .357 with no issues albiet at that level provides a 60% reduction in muzzle sound with 7 baffles.
Thank you folks
Regards

@puddleglum the reticle/crosshair of scope you have posted in the title of this thread Hawke 2-7x32 AO IR Mil Dot does indeed have a finely etched reticle like an AMX. The scope you are inquiring about in your thread Hawke 2-7x32 Vantage has no IR, and features a wire reticle that is thicker and perfect for the application you are speaking of. These are two different scopes; I have both models and each has their own application. For hunting/pesting during the day the non IR is my go to (reticle size is perfect) when the sun goes down and darkness falls I go IR. Hawke makes a great scope; the build is very good, nice glass, tracks wonderfully and has one if not the best warranty in the business.

Have a Blessed day

There is a Vantage IR 2-7x32 AO with a Mil Dot
https://us.hawkeoptics.com/vantage-ir-2-7x32-ao-mil-dot-ir.html
This is the one I was referencing.

It sounds like you are saying it will have a finer reticle because the IR reticles are etched? And the non-IR will be a bit wider?

A guy could 3D print those and buyer would only need to supply two steel rods, 1/2” diameter from hardware store.

Hello, what small airgun would you recommend for front yard squirrel hunting? I have nuisance squirrels that have refused to get in the traps since last September, and now the nerve of them, they are courting to reproduce in my front yard! No, thank you! I need something that can finally end the squirrels, but won't ricochet into the neighbors' yards across the street if I miss.

My trap has been a Squirrelinator, with peanut butter, sunflower seeds, various fruits sometimes, etc. why won't they GET IN...

Also, I don't have very strong wrists, so I might avoid the pump action ones. But it's not like I'll be using a whole canister at a time, and those can get pretty expensive if just firing a few shots and then the rest of it leaks out from non-use. I don't know much about these things... and could use some advice.

steve123 · Apr 23, 2025

I haven't had any problems with my two Skout 22 cal mags in my EVO but I've only shot 32.3 and 40gr Altaros slugs through it. Thankfully so, because I've had other problems not mag related.

Hi it’s marker…correct me if I am wrong…but this is what I heard…that if you are going to store a Co2 gun for a lengthy period…that you should keep it under pressure to keep the O-rings healthy

Can you kindly share one final bit of data. WIth your .22 for longer range accuracy, what pellets and fps?

Sure, UL.

After much tuning both when I had only 250 BAR charging capabilities, and after I (now) have 350 BAR capabilities, I located the sweet-spot charge pressures to return at least a full 19-shot magazine within acceptable extreme velocity spreads (30 FPS or less). Of course the velocity and power of those (at least) 19 shot power-bands increased proportional to the charge pressure.

Here are the results achieved at 315 BAR charge pressure with my two preferred pellets, thankfully equally accurate in my .22 GK. Of course the 18.1s are flatter-shooting, but notice the substantial 10% muzzle energy advantage of the 22.07s-

18.1 grain FX, tuned for 310 BAR fill, 23 shot powerband- Low= 912, Hi= 942, ES= 30, SD= 10, Average= 930 FPS/34.8 FPE

22.07 grain JTS, 315 BAR fill, 21 shot powerband- 870/894/24/6.3/882/38.1

I mostly shoot the 22.07s almost exclusively, in case I get the opportunity at a coyote on my 30 acre home-place.

By the way, I'm trying to reduce my keyboarding time; and am also a big believer in/advocate of the most antiquated and efficient form of communication known to Man. Feel free to call me if you need more information.

So due to needing some quick money for house repairs I need to sell this RAW HM100x Chassis rife, a well known excellent bench / long range competitive setup. Also I really do not do as much bench and competitive shooting as I used to so I am now looking at something smaller and lighter (no trades though, lol). I purchased new about a year ago, installed my favorite optic and moderator and was very impressed but I have owed RAW in the past and expected that. It comes with the Gray Ops CNC 16" Arca Rail with Magpul adjustable bipod, so it will attach to any standard rail mount tripod system or can just be used with installed Magpul unit. In original box with manual, .25 caliber mag and parts kit. Only fired it less than 100 times so like new condition. Solid competitive or long range PCP rifle. Asking $1600 and I will cover the shipping in the 48 states, if outside will have to discuss shipping options.

*EDIT* Okay will this is frustrating but I now have to change my asking price due to a slow leak in the fill housing, a normal service part, so this is now what I am offering; After talking to Martin the founder of RAW his lead time is about two (2) weeks and he charges $90 plus parts for the service. Unlikely he will need any parts as I still have the original parts kit with included O-rings. This is a normal servicing that needs to be done somewhat regularly and if handy with PCPs can be done by the owner with minimal difficulty. So with all this hassle in mind I have to drop my asking price to $1300 and I can ship to Martin here in Tennessee and he can forward to the new owner when he has finished. Thank you for understanding and I am willing to listen to any reasonable offer.

Are there any updates as to when you will ship more slugs to Pyramyd Air? I continue to wait on past due, pre order, purchases since the first of the year.

Peashooter · Apr 23, 2025

Attached to another object by an incline plane wrapped helically around an axis.

The feeling you get dealing with Danish customs.

So my 54 USD worth of O-ringes have been in customs, and that cost me 5 DKKr in customs ( shy of 1 dollar ) + the insane 160 Dkkr handling fee ( 24.3 USD )
The problem is, everything under 150 Euro get a free pass in customs, but apparently not my O-rings.

So now i have to deal with these filthy swine tomorrow in a phone call, meaning i will have to muster far more restraint that i am normally able to do when it come to those kind of people.

I hope i make it CUZ we have a law here saying i MUST respect everyone that’s public employed,,,,,,, and that is not the case with me, far from it.
That is a jail time offence.

I just got my M4 600mm in the mail yesterday, I have the reg set at 115 macro @16 and micro on 4 and I am pushing the Zan 26s slug @965 and the FX 34 grn pellet at 876 in .25 cal I get 85 shots on a 250 bar fill. I am keeping everything stock at this point. The gun shoots great, the pellet groups are really tight sub MOA at 50 and 75 yards and .35 inches at 25 center to center, the slugs I need to spend more time with, I am not sure if the tune isn't right or they are finicky to the hold.

Can you post photos of your groups?

Hi all. I used my Westhunter 3-12 FFP on my Taipan .25 Compact for a while, and realized I pretty much have only been using it on 12x for shooting pest birds out my windows. I want to use the compact for squirrels this fall, and also will be using it for rabbits in the yard that like to nibble in the flower beds. When I dial the Westhunter down to lower magnification, that reticle all but disappears, to my eyes. I am thinking that, for the closer range applications I will be using it for, I might want a SFP scope for reticle visibility. I also think a lower magnification might suit my needs, with a wide FOV at 2x helping me spot squirrels and rabbits and, if I see one quite a ways out, dialing up to 7x should be enough magnification for a 40-50 yard shot on a squirrel.

How is the Mil Dot reitcle on the Vantage 2-7x32? Is it extremely fine like the Hawke AMX reticle, or is it heavy enough to pick up easily against a dark background? I know this is subjective, but any feedback you all have would be appreciated.

Thanks,
-pg

The reticle in the Vantage is good for what you want, I have a few of those and the West Hunter too. I actually have a new Vantange 3-9 x40 IR that I'm going to put in the classifieds, let me know if you're interested, I will go ahead and post it. My West Hunter is 16x and I love it but the reticles do get very small at the lower zoom, I run it maxed out anyway.

Today I will collect the AVS slugs 55 gran .306 for trying them on the Vulcan 3 700 mm......

As soon as I have them I will let you know.

The unexpected problem is that last night by first time my two older grandchildren (3 years old) slept with my wife and myself in our king size bed.

The bed was shared with the following percentages:

My wife: 7% in the far left, seen from the front.

My grand daughter: 43%

My grand son: 45%

Myself in the far right: 5%

We discovered that my grand son enjoys practicing full contact fight when sleeping, and that has a very effective kick direct to the kidney....

For sure if I try to shoot today I will have the accuracy of an early parkinson's disease.

Shot these two, two shot 20yd groups today (was shooting exceptionally well today, not my norm) and the first picture took me by surprise as the hole did not enlarge, haven't done that in some time. The first photo I wanted to see how much one MOA click right the POI would shift so I clicked one right shot at the dot, saw the the POI, then clicked back and shot again at the hole.
