Fewer pellet types to choose from makes a certain decision very easy: Do I want to try another kind?

The Impact that you said was so overpriced, actually sold yesterday, .... so was it overpriced?

Not trying to start a price battle, but it doesnt look like it actually sold and has been listed for a while.

Thanks for another great event Mark, Mike, and Carl.

Laura had a lot of fun shooting the pistol match...much difficulty in doing that after a 3 hour FT match.

Nice looking group there.

My favorite handpump is the one I don't have to pump myself.

Yes that's why I posted it. I was tickled pink. My Taipan Vetran tactical 700mm does better but it's 25 caliber. But I'm happy with it so far plus getting a ton of shots on a fill

ok happy to report that the gun is working great i had a blast shooting yesterday i did notice the cocking bolt is loose after every shooting session and that bullet was jammed just one i believe from a low power shot caused by valve lock, once i unjammed the bullet with a wood dowel 7/16th in in width and used the gauge to slowly release pressure to 250 bar it worked as expected from now on ill fill to 4000-4100 psi or maybe try it without the cocking bolt ive heard 4500 psi fills work fine if it remove it, anyway i love the gun as expected my only concerns are the limited availability of parts and unlike a real gun it has alot of moving parts that can break

anytime i look down the barrel i make sure the breech is open no slug is in it and the safety is on and i try todo as much research as possible and talk to all of you before i do anything waiting is the hard part lol and i greatly appreciate all of your quick replies, thanks everyone

Hello. I received the huma regulator with plenum and installed it on my P15.

Setup:
140 bar (chinese was 135 bar)
HS backed 1/4 turn from full lock .

On 18.13 JSB I got 890 fps (was 860 on chinese reg)

On 21 grain i only got 812 fps (was 775 on chinese reg)

Shot count from 230 bar to 140 bar 52 pellets (was 65 on chinese reg from 230 bar to 135 bar).

The question is:
i still have 10 bar on the huma i can setup and 1/4 HS turn to full lock and my aim at least 880 fps for the 21 grain slug. If i increase to 150 bar with full lock HS i will reach that speed or i need more modification or aftermarket parts.

Thanks

Thanks for the heads up. I just purchased a new out-of-box Cayden which completes my set of the Craftsman Series.

I was wondering if anyone has had experience with both this pcp rifles. The AEA sf sniper and the Karma EQ and which one would you recommend?

Click to expand...

I own an sf compact. 30 and a karma eq. 30, they are two different guns. My sf stays in semi auto, the bolt action is goofy to manipulate theres a little lever you have to press each time to pull the bolt back, and its awkward/ annoying. The sniper variant may be different but my compact only shoots pellets, it doesn't like slugs at all. The sf is a fun, quiet semi auto gun. As far as the eq goes I only shoot aea 52.2 gr slugs. They are the most consistent round I have put through the barrel and I have tried a bunch of different options. I use my eq as a bench gun, but it would make a great pesting rifle for shooting into trees. It does shoulder really well, the weight is right against your body. It depends on what you are looking to do with it. If you have more specific questions I will try to answer them.

If you got it with a 600 mm barrel then you should have the Superior Heavy liner. It has a faster twist rate than the 500 mm barrel and is better for shooting heavier slugs. Those 30 grain H&N slugs are a great compromise between a good slug weight and still having a good shot count. I’m pushing them at 945-950 fps. I am blown away with how great they perform in my Panthera. Definitely worth a try for you.

That escalated quickly

My next mag :

6 shots to dial the speed @ 900 ish

Then 13 shots as follows:

13 shots
902 min
906 avg
916 max
14 spd
3.7 std dev


24.7 hatsan .25 cheepie lead

Time for a target session. I'm impressed with this hammerless setup.

The person who shared the 3rd party incident is unwilling to divulge any further information.

Great day for some field target today! 65°, very light breeze, just perfect shooting weather. We had 10 shooters total today, 6 PCP and 4 piston (woooo!). Course was the typical woods course, 60 shots over 30 targets. Not quite sure on the rating as I forgot to range the targets but my estimate is 31-32T.

Thanks for all the info guys…learning the higher-dollar game…lol! With the Cricket smoking slugs out accurately, I’ll probably just use it for my coon/coyote hammer.

I’ll probably still give the guys at UA a call, just to talk possibilities.

I’m a sow’s ear/silk purse type. I like taking underrated guns and making them run with the big dogs…I’ve got a gen 1 .22 Marauder with an LW barrel that gets 43 shots at 950-ish with Predators…I see now they’re making refs for them, but I’m not sure without a lot of valve mods it would run that fast any more efficiently.

The Cricket and MK 4 were both splurges to see how the upper crust plays. They’re both impressive in their own right, and proof that you get what you pay for.

I’m learning that money still doesn’t buy miracles…lol!

I sure hope when the embargo is over they bring back the IZH60. Mine has no sights.

Tested some pellets in my Vet 1 .22 @50Y

My Avenger leaked when I got it but Air Venturi fixed it and it hasn't leaked since. The only hassle was the shipping to return it wasn't cheap. If yours leaked and they didn't test it you should have a very good argument for them paying shipping. It also took like 5 weeks. My Avenger was my second airgun. At this point I've pretty much decided just to fix them myself. Much cheaper than shipping and faster too. But you have every right to make them honor the warranty.

@JimD
Are you saying that AIr Venturi/Pyramyd sent you a gun that leaked and you had to pay for shipping to return it for repairs?
Was it under warranty?

I have the 22 M4 sniper and a 1 in 16 twist barrel with slug prob. I mostly shoot 30 gr slugs at 980 to 1050 and can get 1 inch groups at 150 yds if I do my part well ! Not what you were asking but maybe help full .

Nice day of pesting Max!
Starlings used to be more plentiful here, I guess I shot enough over the years LOL, but the remaining ones are smarter than I give them credit for, and thus make for a fun challenge

Click to expand...

Thank you. Yes, they learned pretty quickly and would stay away after realizing my presence means danger. In fact, I am presently back at the farm now and not many starlings around and I also noticed the young ones are not in the area, only the adults gathering the grains. So very slow day of shooting thus far.

Code Lead10 for 10% all ammo till May 27

Funny tho still very cool ... Is, a lot of us Field target shooters go the other way taking the Theoben or RAW Rifles and down sizing them to become a FT pistol.
