Cannot Get some pellets into the barrel. Looks like the barrel was not cut centered and when closing the barrel it clips the pellet. Trying 14 to 18 grain pellets some will not go into barrel. Any suggestions or should I send it back?

Hey guy!

Thinking about possibly grabbing the Avenge-X

Does anyone have any experience with the aftermarket stocks from saber tactical or terminator?

I was wondering what the weight of the stocks are vs the OEM tactical stock

Pyramid air lists the saber tactical stock as 2.75 lbs (not sure how accurate that is)

I'm unsure what the OEM weighs or the terminator (I reached out but he didn't have numbers)

Can anyone fill in the blanks? Are there any others manufacturers I should be looking at for stocks?

Thanks guys

Question: Where are the "sweet spots" in velocity when tuning a.177 or .22 air rifle?

Back story: While I'm "mechanically challenged," I'm trying to tune a .177 RTI Prophet Compact. The last owner used it for shooting slugs. I'd like to use it for pellets. (JSB 8.4s would be ideal.) I've had good results by adjusting my .22 rifles to shoot around 880-890 fps. At one time I owned a .22 Vixen that shot accurately at around 700 fps. And I assume that the high power rifles must shoot accurately at velocities above 890. So--generally speaking, are there multiple sweet spots in velocity, is there only one ideal velocity when tuning a rifle, or does it vary from rifle to rifle and barrel to barrel? Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello all
Trying to put together a list of chronographs that calculate BC
I know of the FX true ballistic and when it is released, the Caldwell velociradar, but are there any others?
i wasn't positive about the lab radar or Garmin being able to do the BC...Can they?
Thank for the help

Hi all

I am thinking about getting a FX M4 in 700 mm, but can not decide what caliber to get. Having already owned a AdvengerX in .25, should I stay with .25? Or shouldI go with .22 instead. I will used it mainly for hunting, pest control and a little plinkin. I am using mainly pellets, not sure if will go into slugs. All advices will be welcome. Thanks all!

I am new here. Hope everybody is well and doing good. I would like to find out a simple question, is ATN optics with the night vision better than Oneleaf Command NV 4
I am wanting to find out because I am looking to put it on a Hatsan Vectis 25 cal.

I just installed MERO
The installation went smoothly, and I have been playing around with the program's features and formats
I particularly like the reticle view but cannot get it to show the windage offset no matter what wind velocity & direction I plug into the file.
Can someone in the forum advise, please?
Thanks

I have the .58 version. When I fill the tank and take that first shot there seems to be an extra amount of air being dumped. I'm thinking a seal isn't acting properly . Since this rifle has nothing but seals/o-rings I wouldn't know where to start looking. Could anyone help me out? Thank you in advance

Edit- thanks everyone for a lot of answers. Before I posted this I did not know enough to simply ask the question any better.
So here is what (or how) I think I should have asked it:
Why does the drag law I am being told, or recommended, to use in certain apps differ?
Why does the bc on the tin not match what the calculator says it will do AND not match what I see in real life?
I have a ton of stuff to go try out now and I don't feel stuck so thanks.

P.S.
Some people are super smart and they like showing off and that can come across as talking down. But I grew up on the less fun end of a one-way range so it's pretty hard to hurt my feelings. I'm new to improving at this level, not 10 years old.
People can be any combination of wrong, right, nice or a big turd about it. It's all paying for education and now I've got homework or else I just wasted everyone's time with a less than optimal question that ya'll kindly took the time to try to answer.
I can tell you all that there are a LOT fewer and less angry know it alls in this world than in real guns, 3 gun especially. Some folks maybe should be nicer and other people maybe need to let more attitudes slide.


Guys and gals I have been doing my homework which means I have tried figuring it out on my own before bothering you fine folks.
I have a chrony built into my barrel and one at 25 yards.
I am using JSB Exact 44.75gr, a well calibrated mg scale and a brand of micrometer for head size that is so German I'd get kicked out of Disneyland (again) for saying it out loud. What am I doing wrong?
I'm getting bcs from low .03s to mid- high .04s.
I've read some things that are way too complex that I don't have equipment for, radar and such, but we have been figuring bc on paper forever.
What do I do? I intended to go through all my JSB weights and play on all the ballistics calcs to scratch my autism itch for the day but I never got past the JSB exact 44.75.
Frustrated in Fenix

Hello all, I was wondering if anybody out there can help me out.

I own 7 FX Air Rifles. I am having problems with two of rifles at the present time.

One is FX Revolution and the other is a FX Monsoon. Both guns were just resealed by a gunsmith that I have used for a very long time.

When I got the rifles back:

The Monsoon is holding air, but it has a slow leak.

The Revolution is holding air, but it will only work in single shot mode, not the semi-auto mode.

My Gunsmith told me he can't resolve the problems. He even sent the Revolution to one of FX's Repairs Center and they sent it back without even looking at it. Stating they don't work on older FX rifles!

So right now, I have two very expensive paper weights.

I have contacted all three of the repair stations that FX has listed on their website and all three of them told me "THEY DON"T WORK ON OLDER FX GUNS".

My last resort was to contact FX in Sweeden and sent them a very lengthy email explaining my situation. I just received an email back from them with a list of trouble shooting options and diagram and parts lists which I already have.

That Doesn't Help! I am 80 years old and can no longer work on any of my rifles.

Does anyone know of any Repair Shop, Air gun Smith or Individual that can help me out?

Any information that you can send my way would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for looking,

"Hello guys

I'm looking to buy my first PCP rifle. I live in Mexico, and it's quite challenging to find a good quality/price option.

After researching on this forum and YouTube, I found two promising choices, and I would love to hear your recommendations on which one to buy:

* Air Venturi Avenger X
* JTS Airacuda Max

I should mention that I'll be using the rifle mainly for plinking and target shooting.

Also, for each rifle, which scope would you recommend?

Thanks for your help! I really appreciate your advice

I loaded my new GK1. Then, without flipping the "back" lever, i shot it. Now it is jammed
and dumping all air. Bummer, but my fault. Now what??

Thanks in advance

I should stick to my Brococks!!!

Hey been a while since I've last posted. I asked this question years ago but not sure if things have changed.

I saw the newly released Umarex Komplete. I really like the idea of being able to take the gun and a couple cylinders out to go shooting without having to bring a handpump, compressor, and/or bottle supply. However, I'm not 100% bought into the whole N2 cartridge. I'm worried that Umarex will be the only company with these N2 cartridge guns and then they stop making them and bam.... the Komplete turns into a paperweight. On the other hand, if it does well in the market, I'm sure Crosman will release N2 Cartridges which will help drive down the price of the N2 cartridges and there will be more of these guns on the market.... given these would not be for the enthusiasts with the FX Impact M4's. anyways.... getting off topic.

Is there any air rifles out there that have swappable air cylinders/bottles on the fly? Or ones that can be modified for being able to swap the bottles? Like for instance... would the Umarex Gaunlet 2 bottle accept one of those inline on/off valves that is super low profile and you twist to turn on/off. Then you'd just have to shoot the air out of the plenum and then you'd be able to swap bottles.



Thanks!!!

Just recently picked up the Avenge X, Manual says to use Silicon on O rings on the bolt probe every three months. Any special type of lube recommended?
Also how many turns on the hammer spring counter clockwise without removing the screw?

Thank you in advance.

I am new to PCP airguns and would like to know how to improve my skills with scoping. How can I learn where to set the numbers on the scope for targets at 50 yards, 80 yards, or 100 yards? How can I remember the correct scope settings for each distance?

So I recently bought a fx impact compact in .30 cal I’m looking for a good tune for it thanks

Does anyone have an extra probecarrier that not in there rifle. I need for them to mic the width of the assembly from hammer pin to top. I'm putting a gun together but the pin has moved and I need the exact size to set pin in probe carrier. Should be somewhere between 18.30mm and up. I can get it right guessing,but don't want to wait till utha opens tomarrow either. If somebody would do this for me I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks

My Benjamin Marauder 25 is leaking air between the gauge and the adapter that threads into the pressure tank. The oring between the adapter and the tank is fine. The pressure gauge threads into the adapter with straight threads. There was a black material in the threads, maybe some kind if sealant. I tried teaflon tape to no avail, what do need to put on these straight threads to seal this, and thanks in advance.

Has anyone had good success with a lee 340 grain mold in their extreme big bore .457??

Hello! I was watching a video on YouTube, and the man said that there are pellets/slugs that perform poorly at close range but perform well at long range, and that they can stabilize with distance.
Is that possible?
Because if a pellet/slug doesn't group well at close range, it will be even worse at long range, since it's already destabilized up close, and this would only get worse with more distance, right?

I'm wondering if I can safely fill a huben Gk1 SHORTY with a 12v pcp clunker compressor. I'm having a hard time finding an affordable 5k compressor

New to the pcp game. My question is about compressed air. I have a family member that is on tanked oxygen. We have the machine to fill said tanks. Is this the same type of air that would be from the local dive shop to have a pcp tank filled? Thanks in advance

I just bought a Gen 2 Throne Compact from Reximex and wanted to ask here if someone know if i could upgrade it to a bigger bottle for more shots per fill (if so which one would you reccomend) and as well if you could swap to a normal diameter Gen 2 Throne barrel if i wanted to shoot at larger distances

If anyone has a Bullshark in .25, are there any pellets you prefer or hate? Ordered the JSB sample pack, but would appreciate any other owners feedback.
