In the end the solution was weight distribution.
1) Air-bottle type guns seem best, especially in a shorter bottle configuration
2) lightest scope possible
3) position scope as far rearward as possible and still have a good eyebox
4) use a butt pad that grips the shoulder capsule
5) use a knee riser pushed as low and rearward as legally possible.
6) use a stock with a highly adjustable comb
The below setup would be absolutely perfect if it had a 330 cc bottle

So yeah, I suppose you could hang a MC tire from it, that would most definitely change the center of gravity. Be cheaper too. Just trying to be helpful here.

I have tried them, once. Only real question is why? Notoriously inaccurate , over complicated and (well, I’m trying to find an upside and failing here).

JSB, FTT, QYS - so many better alternatives.

As above. High pressure in globes or cylinders (ideally with domed ends). I am not putting my face three inches from 300 bar in a square section tank. Just as I won’t walk under suspended loads. It may not happen but ‘you never count your money at the table’

A good poor man's night vision is a red LED light connected to a wall outlet or large battery constantly lighting up your bait station. That combined with a harbor freight driveway sensor will do the trick combined with your illuminated reticle scope. Trash pandas won't care at all about a dim red light this constantly on.

@Franklink
Thanks for another great match report ! Your reports are the best!

I'm pretty sure we all had a great time this weekend. The weather was chilly at night but warmed up nicely during the day with very little wind. Sometimes it was dead calm out there. Just a beautiful fall weekend.

I've also wondered. I've gotten up there, but 5000 psi ?
I'm at 280lbs. as measured at the hospital last week. I've gone to in the 3800psi, (Hill pump) fairly easily. Never pushed past that.

Mike

I have a Hill MK5 that I pump to 4350, 300 bar, I only weigh 190 lbs….

First thing to do is dial the hammer spring tension to the velocity knee. That is, about 97% of the maximum velocity.

Until that has been done, the extreme spread is likely to be anything but optimal.

Looking for a shadow suppressor. TIA

markhooper · Jan 14, 2024

trying to shorten it to a reasonable pistol length.. open sights.. problem is I'm not comfortable machining the air tube. it's a pressure vessel and I don't have a way to test it

Please report on the trigger cam. I like the design & compactness (just can't afford it).

drsquall · Nov 16, 2023

I need to do some research for mine

congrats

If you’ve got a .22 cal, it should shoot slugs. .25/.30 cal pellets is fine but at least 42-50 F.P.E in .25 cal and upwards of 60 F.P.E. in .30 cal; both with pellets.

MOST OF ALL, it should be a quality rifle capable of MOA at 50 yards (1/2 inch group; less is better).
Airmaks?

Ed24 · Nov 5, 2023

I'm sure I'll regret this one. Selling my 177 Vixen long. Super gun like new condition. Comes in original soft case and box. Includes 2 mags, fill probe and a Vector Optics 6-24x44 FFP. Great compact scope that fits this gun perfectly. Gun not picky and shoots a range of pellets great but I use Zan 10gr slugs at 880fps. $1050 Shipped CONUS PayPal for payment. Happy to answer any questions. Thanks for looking. Ed

Thanks for the fast reporting. Really great day for a match. Lots of pesky small kill zones again but if it wasn't for them I would not have hit anything!

The first hydrostatic tested sticker shows 08 on that picture and there is a newer date other side of some bottle, and it is bonded to CF coating under a thick transparent layer. Can't comment if some standards have changed along these years.

If you are serious about using a hand pump... you don't want a regulated gun that needs a 3,000+psi fill pressure... some need 4,500.. you will not like trying to fill that with a hand pump.

You need to decide what your "all in budget" is.. and what you really want to use the gun for and at what distance you plan on shooting accurately.

Then we can give you some more accurate advice... in my opinion.

Scope? do you have one to go on the new rifle or is that something you need in your budget? How good does it need to be.. just for pest control? figure about $180 to $300 with mounts and a bubble level.

We have used some of the lower priced compressors from China, and they are good if you are careful to keep them cool. Get one with water cooling and add ice to the tub of water that it uses. They run from $210 to $500, we just got a two cylinder that pumps real fast and has a great cooling system when set up with the ice water tub. it was $380 on Amazon. This is the lower priced one:

This is the one we use

https://www.amazon.com/Compressor-Cylinder-compressor-Miniature-TUXING/dp/B07W887237/ref=sr_1_19_sspa?crid=2QIO5XOJI5K8E&keywords=TUXING+4500Psi+Pcp+Air+Compressor+dual+head+pcp+air+compressor&qid=1699317374&sprefix=tuxing+4500psi+pcp+air+compressor+dual+head+pcp+air+compressor%2Caps%2C157&sr=8-19-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9tdGY&psc=1

Otherwise you need a gun that only needs a 2,000psi fill.
like this one:

Beeman Power .22 Cal Series Model 1328

This is a very nice light weight and accurate entry level air rifle. It shoots 18 to 20 foot pounds of energy.

airgunoregon.shop

It's not a slug gun, but it shoots 20fpe easy in 22 cal, which is great out to 60 yards or so.

so add up all the things you will need with your new PCP and then let's talk again

Bollocks.

this post is so full of misinformation I don't even know where to start to reply

Fareed ahmed · Sep 16, 2024
