HW/Weihrauch  HW55T: Did I pay too much?

I put the rear sight on hastily to take the pics. It should be mounted further forward!
Ha, I started to say something about that in my last post...that sight position on the close-coupled Tyro butt woulda punched me right in the eye! R1lover's notes are exactly right though, it's easy to ding the finish with the sight if you aren't careful.

FX DRS bipod help

I just looked at one & it appears there's NO bipod rail, picatinny, dovetail or other on underside. You might have to mount your own 3 or 4" rail below. Let me know if I'm wrong. Reach out to other DRS owners here & see what they've done.
I think the only option would be a Picatinny rail adapter

Gamo  Piston seal

Finished the piston for my Gamo. Machined diameter closer to size, as opposed
to factory piston that has a lot of clearance. Is that necessary? I don't know. I made
it a lot lighter than factory piston. And since i was at it, figured will try a Weihrauch
seal. I just don't like the wedge on Gamo pistons. Of course, Weihrauch has no 29 mm
seal! So had to figure out sizes to fit, as well to machine a seal down to size. All done.
Results: As expected, shoots slower than OEM. 725 fps from 740 fps. Sounds different,
wish i had a measuring device. But sure has less recoil.

Recticle position on digital/NV optics

Some optics can do it and some can't. Even the ones that will move the picture and keep the reticle centered have their limitations. You can look into a EagleVision mounts which gives you manual adjustability - this is about the best to help keep your reticle centered.

I've never owned and ATN, but know those who have. They have had mixed reviews. I would check out DNT Optics - my NV from them moves the images. Also the newer Pard scope format does that.

To Scope Cover Or Not

I like neoprene covers. I’ve had too many problems over the years with flip caps. It seems like they always either lose a spring or just start falling off. Some bikini covers are OK and some aren’t. I like the rubber ones my Vortex came with. Overall though, I find that neoprene covers fit a wide variety of scopes, slip on easily and help protect the guns in the safe or in a 2 gun case if they bump each other.
They definitely work good for the safe gig. (y)

What's in your hunting bag?

I replaced my range finder and binoculars with Bushnell’s FusionX 10x40. They’re very clear, bright, spot-on accurate. I chose the FusionX because it was a great product at an excellent price. Although it ranges to one mile, my needs are under 100 yards so it works great. Sage rats don’t have a chance now. My kill ratio has increased dramatically and the amount of missed shots has been reduced significantly.

Cool ranging binos! Awesome pic of the huge ghog you anchored! Really nice shot 👍.

Big Power in a Small Package: Meet the MicroStrike

At this point in time, the price you pre-order at will be honored.

I would take estimated arrival times with a grain of salt currently.
so if current terrifs are not settled in negotiations,or if they escalate.. wouldn't you be giving them away at that price.. or if it escalated, wouldn't you be paying to give them the gun?
I'd personally think from a business standpoint that you wouldn't import them and the order would just be cancelled..

HW/Weihrauch  Rekord trigger adjustments

I've wondered if someone with more skills than me could solder or epoxy on a replacement stage-length tab...and maybe even drill/tap it for a little adjuster screw?
A piece that holds an adjustment screw could easily be sweated on.
That means soldered for some who might not know.
Would it still fit inside the stock? Might have to be relieved a bit.
You will lose a portion of the safety factor the first stage provides. What model does this trigger fit? What stock in particular?

Finding YOUR Zero - shot by shot

If we study my chart some we can see my initial trajectory apex is probably right around 23 yards; but extends to approximately 32 yards. I could rezero the scope to the middle of the apex say 26/27 yards and reshoot, to minimize holdovers but in my case it’s not that critical since I have hard holdover values I have validated.
Good fun when you are kinda snowed in.

That is an awesome range!

N/A  Looking to purchase 10M competition air pistols for 4H shooting sports, but new to this forum.

The Crosman Silhouette is probably what you are looking for. Comes without rear sight but can be fitted with scope for silhouette or rear sight for 10 meter.

Given no power-source or budget parameters in the OP, I agree that the Crosman Silhouette (often called by its model number 1701P), would be the best choice. Or maybe I should say "an AWESOME choice".

N/A  Looking for a smallbore silhouette pistol

@AirNGasman You are the leading expert in this field, and the go-to for inspiration and knowledge. Could you give us a quick list of what would be needed in a pcp pistol to compete under the current silhouette rules and criteria for max power to possibly knock down a 1/2 scale or even 1/5 scale?

@noremaximus Just an observation in the airgun building world, though the GK1 is a bit "expensive" under your above listed criteria, by the time you build something to fit your needs you'd probably have just as much into it as if you'd have invested in a GK1 and outfitted it with a good accurate optic.

Looks like my second post in this thread, that apparently came a minute after yours AH, probably answers your question(s).

However, what Zack wants to do doesn't follow silhouette rules. It will take a very powerful PCP pistol to consistently knock down 1/2 scale pigs at 50 yards (per his post). However that isn't the case with 1/5 scale silhouettes.

I'll now take this opportunity to apologize to Zack. The 1/2 scale pigs are not as large (so also HEAVY) as I thought they are, but it will nevertheless take something of GK-1 ilk for your purposes.

Zack, I'm attaching a copy of my TEXtreme Field Target Pistol rules for interest/reference sake, Bud; as you sound like someone who might appreciate Pistol Extreme Field Target.

EDgun  EDgun Leshy 2 Barrel Tensioner

I have the tensioner installed an my L2 .30, 350mm. I have only shot a few times at approximately 40 yards. At that distance it was hard to tell if there was much improvement on accuracy, but I think there was a small improvement. I’ll have to play around with it some more. In any case, I think the tensioner will probably be more effective on longer barrels. After all, the barrel is supported almost halfway up (on the 350mm) by the receiver block so the tensioner is really only effecting a few inches of an already very stiff barrel. I do like the look but I wish it wasn’t so shiny.
Thank you ... as of right now, I'm just sticking with the base standard shroud as I jumped into a bench rest rig ( again ). Poof! $ GONE.

Moderator for fx impact

like stated above there is no BEST moderator it all depends on application what may be quiet on one will be louder on another
another thing to consider is power level once you get into 60 70 fpe range you will definitely hear what works.
the stock fx mod works very well for a hollow can it's also light .
