Already did, thanks. Just didn't know if anyone might have been interested & thought it was gone! Luckily an interested party brought it to my attention.

This is an older post but I'll put in what I've used in the last 4 PRS matches, 3 or 4 NRL22 matches, and 2 NRL Hunters matches. I have been using a Champion Bluetooth earmuffs and connecting the earmuffs to my phone. I then use an app called Talking Timer. Under the app I can have the lady announce 2 minutes, 1 minute, 30 seconds, and count down from 5 seconds. You can choose when you want the lady to speak. This setup has worked really well for me.
I have seen a majority of shooters use the kitchen timers and have seen a lot of them have problems.

In WV it is legal to hunt deer and bear with an airgun. It must be 45 cal. with a 200 grain bullet.

Thanks!!

Also, the graph at the beginning of the thread was using the same reg set point and the same hammer spring adjustment as the first test today at a 250 bar fill pressure. At 300 bar fill, I was seeing 940 FPS. At the 250 bar setting, the average was 895. Where did the extra. 45 FPS go? Overall the reg pressures were pretty much the same over both strings.

we have a new guy at work. While out to lunch the other day ( I was driving ) we decided to troll some of the dairy farm permissions that I have and at one of them a starling showed up on a wire at the wrong time. (40'ish yards - I didn't even range it - I just knew it was w/in my zero range ) I lined it up and "THWACK!". A .22 RTI Prophet Performance (v1) flinging 25g H&N slugs. My co-worker was like "Damn! That bird exploded! The pop on it was louder than the actual shot . . . "

I just looked at him w/a big smile - " . . . ain't that the coolest thing ever? "

PS. High Pressure Pneumatics had the best price with shipping - at least back when I first bought this. I haven't shopped since the tariff stuff has gone on.

I'll send Altaros a message to coat his slugs with plastic like Zan Projectiles introduced.

One more question, and not trigger related. We're all the stocks Beech ? Mine was refinished by previous owner, and the figuring actually looks like Walnut. It doesn't have typical Beech markings or figuring. Maybe it's just an exceptional cut of Beech ? Kind of intriguing. Miss Diana is 45 yrs old.....

Depends on if it's an easy swap. I have a few custom guns that is only swap the barrels. No retune. If that's the case I say both. Still you're resighting at every swap. If you love how you're shooting Pellets/Slugs I'd say drop the coin on a dedicated airbow.

I got the air saber and that's great for hog but 50 yards is where I've been hitting them .I also have to say I like the senaca light hunter tactical that 45 cal slams and shoots those heavy air bolts close to 600 fps .I live in ny cant even hunt airgun or air bolt yet ,that's why I like arkansas,,lots of big boar there

My pet peeves
1. Iconic. Currently the most over used word in America. EVERTHING is iconic. Places to visit. Movies. Books. The list could go on forever.

2. “You know.” Some people being interviewed, pro athletes seem to be the worst, will say this so many times - I try to count but eventually give up. I call this “the reverse intelligence quotient.” The more “you knows” in an interview, the less intelligent the person.

This conversion kit transforms the FX King into the ultimate PRS-style competition platform or a precision benchrest rig, providing an unparalleled level of adjustability, balance, and technological innovation.

The FX Airguns Dynamic Block Family of PCP Air Rifles​

The FX King is part of a broader family of FX air rifles, all built on the FX Dynamic block. This family includes the FX King, Panthera, and Dynamic models, each designed with unique features catering to different shooting disciplines but sharing the same core engineering. While the FX King Chassis by Saber Tactical has always been conceptually compatible with these variants, integrating them seamlessly required additional refinements.

The new Saber Tactical conversion kit now ensures full compatibility across all FX Dynamic-based rifles, eliminating previous challenges and allowing shooters to effortlessly switch between models within the FX Dynamic lineup.

The updated conversion kit includes: ✔ FX rear plug ✔ Two-piece King-style safety ✔ Mounting screws ✔ Safety spring and detent cover, and screw
With these components, installing any FX Dynamic-based rifle into the FX King Chassis is now a streamlined process, ensuring a secure and optimized fit. This upgrade cements the FX King Chassis as one of the most versatile competition platforms available for precision airgunners.

The FX King Chassis by Saber Tactical: The Ultimate Competition Platform​

At the core of this transformation is the FX King Chassis by Saber Tactical, a fully adjustable and modular system that enhances the rifle’s stability and performance. Designed for competition shooters who demand the highest level of precision, the chassis allows the FX King to be tuned specifically for PRS, NRL22, or benchrest disciplines.

One of the standout features of the chassis is its ability to accommodate all FX Dynamic Variant PCP air rifles, enabling shooters to utilize a variety of FX platforms while maintaining a consistent shooting setup. This interchangeability is a game-changer for those who want the flexibility to adapt their rifle to different shooting disciplines without having to invest in multiple chassis systems.

Fully Adjustable Buttstock and Ergonomic Fit​

A critical aspect of any high-performance competition rifle is the adjustability of the stock. The FX King Chassis by Saber Tactical offers a fully adjustable buttstock, allowing shooters to fine-tune their rifle to their exact ergonomic preferences.

Key adjustments include:

• Toolless Cheek Rest Adjustment: The cheek rest can be moved vertically to align perfectly with the shooter’s eye position, ensuring a consistent cheek weld for optimal sight picture and accuracy.
• Buttpad Adjustment: The buttpad can be adjusted for both height and angle, accommodating different shooting styles and shoulder placements for maximum comfort.
• Length of Pull Adjustment: This feature ensures that the shooter can achieve the ideal stance and trigger reach, critical for precision shooting.

These adjustments are all toolless, allowing for quick modifications in the field without the need for additional equipment. This level of customization is particularly beneficial for PRS-style competitions, where shooters must quickly adapt to various shooting positions and barricades.

M-LOK Slots for Weight Customization and Accessory Mounting​

Weight distribution plays a crucial role in stabilizing a rifle for precision shooting, and the FX King Chassis is designed with extensive M-LOK slots on the front rail to maximize customization.

• Benchrest Applications: Shooters can add substantial weight to the chassis to create a rock-solid shooting platform that minimizes recoil movement and improves shot consistency.
• PRS and NRL22 Balance Optimization: In PRS-style shooting, excessive weight can be a hindrance, particularly when shooting from unstable positions or moving between barricades. The M-LOK system allows shooters to add just the right amount of weight to achieve perfect balance without compromising maneuverability.
• Accessory Mounting: The M-LOK slots also enable the attachment of accessories such as bipods, rail-mounted bags, and foregrips, further enhancing the rifle’s adaptability to different shooting styles.

By giving shooters complete control over weight distribution and accessory placement, the FX King Chassis ensures that the rifle can be fine-tuned for any competition setting.

Extended Front Rail for 700cc Bottle and Ultimate Benchrest Stability​

For those seeking the ultimate benchrest setup, Saber Tactical offers an additional extra-long front rail designed specifically to accommodate a 700cc bottle.

• Increased Air Capacity: The ability to run a 700cc bottle significantly extends shot count, allowing for longer practice sessions and competition stages without the need to refill. This is particularly beneficial in extended shooting formats where consistency is key.
• Extended Bipod Placement: The extra-long rail allows the bipod to be positioned farther forward, providing increased stability and reducing bipod hop. This extended footprint is crucial for precision shooting, as it minimizes movement and enhances shot repeatability.

For shooters focused on benchrest competitions, this additional rail transforms the FX King into one of the most stable platforms available, ensuring unparalleled accuracy and control.

Advanced Rail System for Maximum Versatility​

The FX King Chassis features a highly versatile rail system that incorporates both Arca and Picatinny options.

• Arca Rail Compatibility: The integrated Arca rail allows for seamless attachment of tripod mounts and other stability-enhancing accessories commonly used in PRS competitions.
• Picatinny Rail: The Picatinny section ensures compatibility with a wide range of bipods, monopods, and other rifle accessories.
• Enhanced Grip Texture: The chassis includes a jimping pattern underneath the rail, providing a secure grip when using shooting bags or resting the rifle on surfaces.

This multi-faceted rail system gives shooters the ability to customize their rig based on competition requirements, providing the flexibility needed for both dynamic and static shooting disciplines.

Conclusion: Elevating the FX Dynamic Variants the Next Level​

By allowing shooters to drop in any FX Dynamic Variant PCP air rifle, this chassis system provides unmatched versatility and performance.

With its fully adjustable buttstock, extensive M-LOK customization options, extended front rail for a 700cc bottle, and advanced rail system, the FX King Chassis is designed for serious competitors who demand the highest level of precision and control.

got some 33-34 and 42g coming thanks again for that info

I'm looking forward to seeing how people like the new Athlon Ares BTR G3 2.5-15×50 for HFT?!

The reticle thickness is. 06 mil so a tad thicker than most FFP mil reticles. All .2 hashes too.

And the quality is higher at its price level, more than any scope I've come across yet at that level. IQ is also good too.

It's like having a Cronus level scope but at a Ares price.

Interesting. What brands are they available for and where can they be bought?

Click to expand...

Most quality guns don’t require us to build a SSG, HDD or install a SSS. Those are all terms that were universally understood when we all had unregulated guns or were installing regs in unregulated guns. I haven’t built one in years. But every Kral or Benjamin I’ve ever owned or still own has one. They are a difference maker when you are dealing with a globetrotter hammer.

I'm looking for a better grip.
What do you have grip wise for the GK1 - V3?
The one I have is a competitors,
I don't like it.
Any components for
.25 Velox
.30 Blitz
.50 Megalodon 15"
.22 Virtus

If you’re in the market for an FX rifle, why not save a few bucks if the original prices aren’t higher than average?

Yes! Dished out my first "dirt nap" of the year the other day to a ground squirrel digging under my burn pile. Saw another on the neighbors property that looked like a small cat! May need to use the Leshiy 9mm on that critter!

Yeah, most rifles today have a 20moa angled top Picatinny rail.
I believe the 11mm and 13mm rails are parallel to the barrel centerline, on most of that type rifle build.

I’m in the process of clearing a field target range and wanted to gauge participant interest. I still need more targets, so if you have some that would be a good.

The caveat is I don’t have alot of parking and we have to walk down a steep hill to the course.

Send me a PM if interested. I like to have a shoot in late April sometime after the Indiana Airgun Show.

That was a very generous assist from the shooter who gifted you the optic

I wanted a heavy-weight projectile pusher. Lucky for me Utah Airguns has the FX Panthera’s on special right now so I snagged a 700mm . The first thing I did was move over all my Airmarksman accessories (Undertaker Rail & weights, carbon fiber grip, 300b bottle) and of course the Element Optics Nexus, Studmagloader magazines, and Impulse Airgun 1350 moderator.

Seeing that you don't need that ugly red one anymore my address is ... .Mark

Walnut gunstocks are graded both for color and for figure in the wood. I think Blackdog99's gunstock has somewhat interesting color variation but I agree with him that it has no figure, at least that I see. But that doesn't mean it is not higher graded wood. Not everybody wants the same thing. AirNGasman's first stock looks like about 75% figure, possibly exhibition grade. A very high grade stock. You'd have to be very lucky to get a stock like that on any gun now. It would only happen if you paid a lot or if the supplier is not grading all the stocks, just buying wood and making them and what happens, happens.

I could be more possible in one way to get a highly figured stock these days since they are normally made by CNC machine. A router controlled by a computer. Traditional tools like planes struggle with figured wood and can tear it up. Router bits tear wood too but it is in a controlled manner than can be sanded out later.

I've made stocks for all three of my P35s (5 stocks for the 3 guns), my Prod and my Avenger. I just used scraps of wood from other projects. I may visit my furniture wood supplier and try and pick out a board for gunstocks. The guy I used to go to was closer but he was smart and planed and sorted the wood himself and charged a lot more for figured wood. The guy I've gone to more recently is about an hour's drive away. They sell rough sawn and unplanned wood and do not seem to understand about figure. Furniture makers do not really want it for many parts. So sometimes figured boards are hard for them to sell. For something like a bed rail you don't want a highly figured board because it is not as strong. It would be really bad for the back leg on a chair. So there is a chance if I spend the effort I might get something very worthwhile. Or I might come home with nothing to show for a 2 hour drive in the truck and half a tank of gas. The only way to for sure get a really nice gunstock blank is to pay a lot for it. I won't do that, I'm too cheap.
