Thanks for all your efforts Mark. I think that you have taken the spirit of the old and worked with the current 'remaining' forest. I realize that it has take some of the trees away but there are far more than your made it sound. The path of the dozer sure added some interesting wind anomalies.
A great way to start the season.

You're welcome! Happy to hear they are both on it, sad to hear you had to deal it.

My barra 250z loves the 33gr slugs.

Falcon X503 FT 10-50x60...... needs a better reticle

Reading along as I get the chance. Thanks everyone, this is very informative and seea lot of posts that are related to my hobby.

Hello you have the update mora so no need to set the spring hammer, no more spring it's a pneumatic system with automatic setup with the air pressure.
If you have trouble with power, check the barrel if it's turn at the right position.
Before, with the first one you had to turn the valve, but this is not the case on the new models.

You simply have to turn the barrel so that the transfer port openings are facing each other. It's even simpler than before.

Thanks that really means a lot to me

Jungle shooter, THANK YOU, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. It is truly cool to be appreciated. Remember though I am the much maligned, poor, innocent, infamous Bandito. Now! What airgun or related device did YOU buy today ? ¿ ? Be Well Brothers, Bandito.

I was looking at the used Lab Radar but luckily read the instructions first ,so that is a no go . MY shooting lane is to crowded with stuff .

The front gauge on the right hand side is the bottle pressure gauge. The rear gauge on the left hand side is the reg gauge used for both regs.

That D50 in the bottom photo absolutely oozes Diana vintage classic, Mike! SOOO COOL!

Thanks! That rifle may be the luckiest auction-site find of my life, to make a long story short.

It's a US import by Stoeger's of New York, who in the late 50's/early 60's sold the Diana 35 and 50, exclusively in .22 cal, under their "Peerless" brand. This is the earlier of two versions of the 50M. It has extensive checkering, both machine and hand-cut; and the cheekpiece sticks waaaaay out there - created by laminating on a second piece of wood.

i gave a pass to at least 5 pigeons today. When the dairy was infested with them they got zero mercy. At the now defunct dairy they are not as plentiful and the sparrows and starlings are cooperative…

Finally a nice day with low wind so headed to my Fremont permission. Had a productive day and dropped 22 pigeons. Best day in quite a while. Shot the majority inside the barns with my .22 Crown with the power turned down to 4 and a couple others with my DRS classic .25 cal.

Great job on the pigeons, but please, please, please get that gun off the ground. She is too gorgeous to be laying among the vermin… Great shooting on your part.

50 shots you ain't even got it broke in,, If you can find you a 10 inch barrel it will shoot even better . I have to fight the urge to get a bottle for this pistol..

Yeah, that is it, thanks.
So between Alamo and Euro you can build a walnut stock FX Boss .30 for the measly sum of $2100 or more.

Got up early loaded my guns, bottle range box and chronograph into the car... Didn't bother checking the weather.. I have permission to shoot on a small dairy farm about a block away...
When I arrived I walked out to set my bench and reality hit or should I say weather 50mph winds coming right in face !!! Now I come home and check my weather.. Lowest wind and for the next week 20mph and gust to 50mph !!! Maybe I will get a chance The 28th !! Oh well, I guess some chrony work in the shed..
They say here in Illinois, we can wear a parka and shorts on the same day !! Windy city, more like windy STATE !!

I think everywhere east of the Rockies has been windy or bad weather for the last couple of weeks, at least here in E. Texas

Maybe post it under the headshot post ?

Time for a season update. We have a few participants that have scored points at 4-clubs this year, and the standings are starting to form.

Mark King is leading the PCP WFTF/Open division with a 393.88 and is only a few points off a perfect 4-club score (max 400.0). Mark Mayer has achieved a few top scores, and with a few more matches he can quickly be challenging Mark King for first.

Brian VanLiew is leading the Piston WFTF/Open division with a 376.30 with a sizable lead on Mike Beyerle. However, Hector Medina is potentially one score away from catching up to Brian.

Brian Wagner is leading Piston Hunter with a 342.39, and is also ahead of the top PCP Hunter.

Laura Setikas is the top PCP Hunter with a 290.67. There is a bunch of potential in the PCP Hunter division, and it will only take a few top competitors to participate in one or two more events to jump to the lead. Be on the lookout for Trevor Davies, Justin Hess, and Greg White, either one can attend an additional event or two and quickly jump to the front of the pack.

There is are a bunch of events remaining, and it will be interesting to see the standings change as more competitors achieve their 4 club (and 5 club) scores.

Here are the current standings for the top 25 ranked in the League/Series (as of June 1, 2025).

Thank you for your reply.

The Uragan stock is so well designed it should be illegal to offer anything other than real wood.

U2 Walnut Compact easy choice.

I'm not an experienced user of FX products, but I've had a couple of FX airguns and see the usual comments about FX on the forums.

Just had a quick look at their site: https://fxairguns.com/

Can you list a few currently available FX products that are missing from their web site. Or maybe some items still on the site that are so old or unavailable that they should not be listed anymore?

That's the kind of specific follow-up info to the original post that might benefit someone who is unfamiliar with FX products and depends on their website for initial information. I usually get most of my purchase decision info from comments on airgun forums like this. And like anyone else, I usually check a manufacturer's website as well. On reflection I mostly do that because the manufacturers' web sites usually include a full list of technical specifications on their products. Many vendor websites seem to leave out important specs from the product descriptions, like the weight of an airgun. Perhaps because once an airgun gets up into the 9+ lb weight range, listing the weight in the product description might hurt potential sales.

Maybe check the trigger pull set screws....if the pull is too light the sear wil not engage.

Where is trigger pull set screw. If it’s adjacent to trigger, but not part of trigger. Have watched u tube video on trigger adjustment. Followed instructions numerous times. Will not cock

Super nice looking platform and as built should seemingly have the potential for much more power than it actually produces. Huge bummer and I passed em by because of this.

.I wish he had included a H&N slug. I shoot the 21 grain from my 22 caliber Caiman X and at impact velocity pretty close to 900 fps they expand nicely - but penetrate significantly less than a non-expanding pellet.

Those goats seem roughly the size of coyotes.
