I shot the FX Archery Chonograph simultaneously with the cheap Chinese chronograph. It was pretty messed-up looking, I should have taken a picture. Shots according to the FX were from 917 fps to 863 (80 shots, fell off the reg). The Chinese chrony thought the shots were slower by a little more than a percent.

Having the Chinese chrony around scared the FX into its best behavior; it didn't miss a shot.

How many of you run the Caldwell Precision Turret? I’ve been using mine for a while now and really appreciate the concept—solid platform, adjustable height, and great for blind setups or bench shooting. That said, I’ve never been a big fan of the stock clamp. It does the job, but the lock/unlock action is a bit binary, and there's not much room for micro-adjustment or fluid repositioning.

I recently swapped it out for a WEYLLAN ball head and it completely changed the feel. Way smoother movement, quieter transitions (huge for coyotes), and the dual-knob setup lets me dial in tension exactly how I want it. Plus, it returns to zero reliably after angled shots, which helps in tight shooting lanes.

Anyone else mod theirs? I'd love to see how folks are optimizing theirs for field use—whether it’s clamp swaps, stealth upgrades, or plate mods.

So far just use mine stock. This idea may cost me money....lol

Getting new glasses?

I was going to link my thread on these i used but did not pop right up .

Anyways...

Main original fly


Then sized as needed for example.

IMHO - Skip springers and go directly to PCP. It is a very smooth transition from rimfire to PCP. Better accuracy too. I spent many $$$ on fine German springers over the last 40 years and even my most modest PCPs will out shoot and out power them all. Even my lowly 2017 Benjamin Maximus drops rabbits in their tracks compared to the back-handspring inducing HW 50. NO CONTEST at all. Fire away...I don't care.

As Motorhead mentioned above, count your fingers and use with caution. The B-3 is a great little airgun to learn all the basics with: shooting technique, maintenance and rebuilding/ modifications. Have fun with it.

Interesting that mine shoots the JSB Match 7.33g at a muzzle velocity of 448 fps which is 5 fps faster than the RWS Meister 7.0g which is a lighter pellet. Check out the 1.4 std deviation!

shipping worldwide sucks the stories in the states are the same
getting anything out of Germany is a wait and wait some more DHL Germany is a joke
now in the states we have all these fly by night delivery companies i consider them Ubers with packages but they lack one big thing they can't find addresses
well, the rifle is a treat

The entire power source (bottle, jets, valve, regulator, and almost all o-rings) are completely separate from the breach, barrel and trigger group! Making it easier to work on, and fill separately.

Not sure where you live so pardon my post. Down here in Mississippi the crows are pretty smart and you usually don't get a chance to shoot at the same one twice. And if you shoot one, the rest will fly off and stay out of gun range for a W-H-I-L-E !!! If you got 4 in one sitting consider yourself lucky or your crows are really dumb. I had a friend who wanted me to keep the crows off his fresh planted corn fields. After just two outings the crows that didn't get shot learned just how far to stay away from us to keep from getting shot. And at the time we were using .17 HMR. It was amazing to see them figure out just how far we could get them from where we were at. At the time we were amazed. Nice shooting on your part for sure. And we need pics of that feeder

Here is the best way to find the answer: go to their website, and you will find the hierarchy of their scopes,this works for most scope makers.The Venom is in the middle.

I had to go look, but sure enough, mine's updated also, and I had no idea it did it ???

Yes you have to be carful or it will update when connected to your phone. I made effort to not have it do so prior to today.
Updated mine today as it seems from what a few of you say anyway, it's a good update.

Looks like it will fit the Snowpeak Max 1.

The M60 and Max 1 share some parts

I agree with Scott (Motorhead), that you need to be cautious when using car wax as it has chemicals and very fine grit (in some). Something that you don't want on a blued item as it will inflict swirls on it.
Using pure wax is a better idea.
Trewax for wooden floors, seems to be a good replacement for Johnson's.

Quote from Troy...

"I’ve got 8 new mag designs ready to put up on my website when I get a chance. These include Pinty std rifle, Dragonfly, XM1 Ranger/Scout, Origin, Leopard, Gauntlet, Marauder and now the Artemis M16."

Get a big leather rest or a rifle bag and a smooth cotton cloth (handkerchief) so the rifle can do what it wants to do. Bipod sounds like a horrible idea.

I purchased mine solely because of the Chassis that can be adjusted for my weird body dimensions and ergonomics........RAW's wood stocks are gorgeous!

Here's what I do:
1) Measure the ambient humidity using my lab hygrometer and or humidity gauge.

2) fill a bottle, tank, reservoir from the pump/compressor.

3) vent the bottle, tank, reservoir slowly, into a void such as a plastic bag

4) after a short interval, sufficient to purge ambient air from the bag, I use the same instrument to measure the humidity in the bag


Ambient humidity is typically 50%+ in this area, confirmed by weather data and several instruments. I measure less than 10% humidity from my compressed air, which I cannot imagine is a problem. Industry standards describe 10% as in the "very dry" range for metal storage.

In addition, I have found no evidence of liquid water, or corrosion in any part of my tanks, bottles, regulators, guns, etc.

I am confused by the apparent focus on water while no one describes their procedure for ascertaing the content of problem.

Drop that reg down to 80bar. And adjust the hammer, should get those crossmans running mid 900s.

I actually prefer pellets.
In general, I prefer the design of the Prophet 1.
I just have serious concerns about the availability of spare parts, as the model is quite old.
Orders from Europe are no problem, since I'm from Austria.

I cannot comment on the P2 or P3, but I did buy a Prophet Performance with the .22LR right after the P2 was officially released. I did this because I liked the simplicity of design and also hoped I could get a decent price on the old tech gun, and that I did.

As for the RPB barrels in the P3's. I later bought a .25 RPB barrel and am using it in my P1. It shoots very well in the Prophet. Both pellets and slugs.

I doubt that parts are going to be a big issue, but who knows. All I can say is that in 3 years and somewhere between 20 and 30,000 shot fired, I have had one leak from the fill fitting and early on a cracked side lever that was replaced with an updated part. Other than tat, I have had zero issues.
I am sure I will have other leaks, but o rings are o rings.

Joe, how are you stabilizing the gun at the front? That bottle guard is too flexible as I used it. Did you change it?

Just ordered 2 tins, I hope the TX likes them. Thanks for the replies.

I shoot the 33 gr Zans out of my Panthera 600mm 25. I haven’t found anything that will shoot with them.

Good shootMax, I particularly like that last shot…

Thank you for watching L.Leon. You are doing your parts as well in eliminating these nasty rodents.

I traded my Micro in 2024 because I wanted more power and greater shot count. At the time the Mini came with a 200cc aluminum bottle. It was hella accurate at close range.


I still have a .22 Mini HM1000x and a .22 HM1000x long. The long was produced about 2 years ago, the Mini produced within the last year. Both are very reliable, built like tanks, and very accurate. I shoot slugs out of my long out to +/- 150 yards, and pellets out of my mini out to 75 yards, both with extreme precision.

Here‘s a pic of my Mini with the LRT stock



Though I prefer the chassis and options
