Zan BR 100 with U2 ??

Purchased U2 slugger for 100+ yard problem neighborhood crows since Wildcat MK3 Sniper .30, and JSB 44.75s, had scared 50 yard, and under, shots away. Subsequent to that, hurricane force winds took down favorite crow hangout trees at 100+ yards, so moot point. Recently switched back from slugs to JSB 44.75s since U2 shoots well @ 50 yards and pushes out 100fps faster than Wildcat. My Vulcan 3 700mm .30 doesn't do pellets but shoots 59-61.5 slugs as well as U2 so keep magazine filled with them. WM

Diana  More ?s on Diana Stormrider Gen3- regulated

I don’t have a SR but not much. I would do 1/8 turn and see what it gets you.

You mentioned doing this for accuracy. Have you done any barrel work? Adjusting speed has an effect but if you are fighting a burr on the transfer port or crown nothing is going to change other than the speed.
Thank you

FX  Impact M4 trigger

Can this trigger be used on a Dynamic block FX like Panthera/Dynamic/King? I really like my Panthera but the trigger even after numerous tweaks and adjustments just isn’t as good as the rest of the gun.
That's a great question! I agree, the trigger on the M4 is superior to the Panthera/Dynamic.

A Target

I guess a picture of your mother in law or ex-wife would work too. Probably provide incentive to practice more than a plain target.
For me it'd have to be just be one solid black heart

...BUT, without an ex in the picture I doubt I'd be indulging in airgunning right now. She def would not abide if she were around....so there's that.

Airgun Technologies  U2 choices

The shorter barrel won, just placed my order for a 600mm Green laminate in .22. If he can tune it to 950 with a 28g Zan, great, if not I'll take what I can get. Ordered some .217 Zans to go with it. I'll try them with fingers crossed before ordering sample packs.
I would suggest h&n hp2 sample packs in 217&218 . My u2 700 likes 218

Are we having fun yet?

I am very competitive. Especially with myself. I am an avid archer, and try to get some form of practice in several times a week if not daily. I have realized that the harder I push for a decent score, the stress level goes up as well as the frustration. hence. I stop enjoying what I am doing. I have learned to take a few days off the target bows and drag out the traditional gear. I am using the same approach with my air rifle hobby. who needs sub moa all of the time. There are some nasty old soda cans that need killin. ;-)

Dnt Zulus or ther night?

The Zulus 3x12 will work for what you want. I sold the ThermNight and the 5x20 and use the 3x12 both day and night for sub 100 yard pesting. It’s been a stable pesting scope. I have a thermal monocular for acquisition and then grab the gun and shoot. I have a hikMICRO 4k LRF that I use a lot because it’s 3.5x28 so I get great FOV at low power and then a wide digital zoom range.

Plenums and where they mount

IMHO, a plenum helps the most when directly inline with the valve. Granted, we see shrinking ES and better shot counts with many plenum locations but our desire is to feed all the air the valve requires at the time of opening.

From what I see, this means greater efficiency, less wear, better balance mechanically and even a better overall sound to the gun as it fires.

Normally, we see the above benefits as well as ease of tuning, better accuracy and less pellet picky.

Of course, YMMV
I understand the benefits of a plenum. My concern was where that specific plenum mounted. I can't see how a plenum feeding through the gauge hole would be more than a very minor improvement.

I completely agree they need to be inline. I have multiple Huben Power regulators with inline plenum. Dream, as you know, has a 20CC and Max-ATH has 50CC.

I've got a couple g1/2 to g1/2 tubes that have about 15CC I've added to regulators without plenum. That was a very minimal improvement and the added length just didn't make it worth leaving in.

The ZAN Projectiles .22 ELR are now available !!!

Hi all, i m pretty new here so appology if i miss some etique. I ve got 700mm panthera(.22, 34g hammer,slug pin, humma 1st stage reg set to 200bar, lot of weights on chassi...nothing special). I tried several reg setting(150-160-170-180), seems best results around 165 bar(166-167 on digital gauge), it give you 290-300 m/s depend on weather/altitude, 295 seems best for me thus i got no POI during day, i have mag(18+2-3 purge shots, 290 bar/360cc bottle) that s my experience from 4000 slug shooted already. I posted some of my groups upper here, if it is under moa,I can live with that, never shooted altaros tbh even o got them at home...too expensive for purpose i shoot(even for me who pay distributor prize)

AEA SF Sniper Ballistics

I vote for for the irons.. but I prefer irons..I have a American tactical liberty Nova 22 caliber and it shoots very well. back when I could still shoot long distance,100 yards 3" groups with it on out to 160 at 170 I couldn't hit a 24" backstop.. just literally scattered everywhere..I got my Henry Golden boy and tried them side by side just to see if I was having a bad day..
nope pushed it on out to the end of my drive 1/4 mile and still hit good..
I came to the conclusion that the liberty Nova was just out of steam past 160.. I don't remember what it chronograph at .
hopefully someday I'll be able to try pushing my airforce Condor 22 out to a 1/4 mile.. assuming I stop shaking someday..
the Condor is the most powerful and simple air gun that I have shot..

Tuning  How to lower SD on unregulated pcp's?

Your approach is a good way to get into airguns - learn how things work and then make an informed decision on what/where you want to buy into.

I also believe that good quality equipment is worth while investing in and buy the best I can afford.

Just a comment on SD and ES numbers, I agree that they are an excellent indicator of (power plant) performance but there are other factors (like harmonics) that determine overall performance. Look at the whole picture. 🙂

Cheers!
Ive been shooting air rifles since i was just a little guy but recently i picked up these two for good prices on Pyramyd air around christmas so ive been just digging deeper into it since and glad i did! Quality will always beat quality, but sometimes my wallet feels otherwise haha working with what i got! Next is shooting groups and just letting the gun tell me what it wants to get the tightest groups i can! trigger work, harmonics if needed, clean/maintained barrel and crown and the most important ME! every shot, the same breathing, movments, timing, trigger pull, rest etc.
