I've spent that much stocking up on pellets for my first air rifle, and I've only had it a few weeks!

My current pellet consumption borders on the absurd as far as I'm concerned. Though I think I found two different brands of 25.39 pellets the crown likes, so that should help keep my expenditure on pellets stable...which still remains absurd.

Looks like it will be a nice day in Palmyra, PA on Saturday.

You know something we are all seeing today. Lack of parts? I have 3 compressors down. Waiting on parts.
i,m a hot & cold shooter. In the winter I do not shoot much. Even in the summer not that much as others do.
i use to, but today I have many other interest. but in saying that, I can not imagine if I shot as much as some
on the form. Is the cheap compressor market keeping new people from hanging with this hobby. We shall
see. Fly

Rest of my threads you'll find in "Hunting" category!

ETA: first kills today: 60, 80, 85yds.

If you go to a competition of any sort (I have, for decades, raced MC and shot both Olympic pistol and rifle as well as Air gun and the usual NRA rifle and pistol matches). When a person is competing, they reach a point where they wear a "race face". Leave them to their thoughts. I would never dream of asking someone a "bullet drop" Q while on the line. It is your business to know that before setting up.

"Hey Ricky Racer; where is your braking point for turn two?"

Talk to people at a time when your distraction is not affecting their performance.

We had 13 people turn out today for our N50 match. It was raining on and off during both matches and the usual switchy winds that Meeker is known for did not disappoint. Scores reflected the conditions. All complaining aside I think we had a great time.

Match #1:







Match #2:








Congrats to Meeker shooters for moving up into the top 5 in the National Standings of the following classes:

I'll mail you a handful of the .216 if you'd like.

Prophet hammer won’t work in a Priest. A Prophet 2 hammer definitely won’t.

Can these face plates be put chased or did Rex cut them out?

Rex says these faceplates were purchased from "Quality Targets."

Man I hate that you're having a negative experience with HatsanUSA. Is this the address you're using?[email protected]

Click to expand...

Well not that it's negative. Just how it is i guess . Lot of threadd or posts on this around over the years.

That referb i tried to buy was a spring gun that id swap out its dpring parts to fix my gas ram gun ./ Parts gun . Cant even do that with them..lol

Ill never buy another hatsan gas ram gun ... Ever. Its a shame to . The model 25 pistol i got was a hard hitting straight shooter i got lot of shooting enjoyment from. I'd like to keep it up and going , but...

Anyway ill cool down and try again in the future . Im glad it worked out for you . Maybe my email will go to the right guy in the right cubicle next time.. fingers crossed ..

Enjoy!

Are the 603 Jr. ambidextrous? If not it looks to be left handed

Will they be releasing an equipment list used by competitors?

I have a YH for several years now about 68 hr or more so far, 3x rebuilt.
The heat kills the piston rings first.
Along the way I learned to buy critical spare parts at my own convenient time. Right now I have four full piston assemblies in my drawers. I can replace in a hour and back to the game.

If you don't it can get a little *exciting* if the crimp is not quite up to handling the pressure.

100 yards is within 22 pellet range and you don't need a long barrel. I have a 700mm, Dutch an 800, my shooting buddy has a 500. If i was going to buy and build my gun again I probably would've gotten the 600. That said, 22 is great for versatility of up close and backyard capable. My 25 is a little rowdy for that but it's a 380mm dreamline. If you don't need high power, 22 because you can shoot monster redesigns for longer shots and 15-18 grain for everything else ime.

Words of lessons learned. I made my 22 impact a 75 fpe slug gun(not even tip top power) . I can't hardly use it for anything because it's too dangerous for most of what I want to do. I spent a boat load doing it too.

Thanks for the write up. Makes me re think and consider. I’m not sure what “tune” UA did on mine. I asked for 33 grain slugs in 22 and willing to try the 40.1 grain 22.

This was just a 2hour "work". Not really a day. There are plenty more for the Next weeks. Its a nice playground for food.

My uragan2 is much quieter then the "thud" of the slugs hitting. I was surprised how much noise the impact makes. I"m really happy with the setup.

I have some friends that are wanting to go with me, I have other PCPs to try out, even though this is my main rig. Are you in europe?

Click to expand...

Sadly I’m not in Europe. Although I did live in Germany and France many years ago. I was mostly just kidding haha but thank your for asking. That’s very kind.

Yes the sound of slugs hitting is much louder than the gun a lot of the time. It’s one of my favorite things about air rifle hunting. Happy to hear you’re having such a good time! Definitely take your friends though! Haha it’s nice having friends that get hooked into the same hobby and air guns are more addictive than crack haha.

nervoustrig convinced me years ago for a brass screw method, and I did all my new liners and barrels with a manual drill like this

The first picture does look like there's a little bite taken out of that o-ring, right where that big nick could grab it.

What I get for not doing enough research beforehand, lol. I should be able to get into this thing tomorrow, I’ll report my findings in a new thread, either way.

No worries, you bought a great gun!! You may be able to get it to 20fpe, my U2 was at 22fpe out of the box with 10gr mk iii slugs. 80b might do the trick

I have the Donnie FL Shogun that’s meant for a 30 caliber, but I also shoot it with my .177 and it’s very nice and backyard friendly.
I’m shooting 13.34 grain 177 pellets so it’s pushing quite a bit of air and a .30 caliber moderator even on .177 works fantastic.
I forgotten how loud one of the scout guns are with no moderator at all.
It took one shot with none on in my backyard and it sounded like a firecracker going off on my ear. So any moderator even the stock Scout one which is really just an air stripper still helps quite a bit.
I actually took pillow stuffing and packed it into the stock skout stripper as an experiment and it worked really well.
I‘ll post some before and after numbers this afternoon.

Tonight’s carry

Does the velocity drop back down if you take the stock off? If not off the reg my thoughts would be the hammer spring was settling out about time you stuck it back in the stock. Other thought depending on the chronograph mine is a Caldwell it changed velocity depending where the projectile pass through. Could be that putting the stock on changed the detection zone. Mine will change about 40-50 fps based on detection zone. This was super frustrating thinking I had bad reg.

Click to expand...

I will try this again later- but yes i think it does not. I think you are right it was settling out

See you there. Looking forward to this course.

Sorry, wrong topic.

Mine just showed up today! I should get to test it this weekend.
