FX  FX King or FX Continuum 30 cal.

Hi, I don't know if is correct to post this question here, but since you're discussing the FX continuum in .30 I consider it's worth to ask, recently a friend of mine is selling a light used continuum in .30, attached you will find a couple pictures of the rifle, my my stopper here is, do the continuum with a slug upgrade kit archive something near 90 fpe levels? or is better to go for a newer/powerful version such as a king.
the price of this second hand rifle is around 60% the value of a king .30 600mm in my country.
I think is important to mention that my main objective is to use it on the bench to shoot maximum at 120 meters, my main concern is accuracy and repeatability.
where I shoot, normally the wind is over 30km/h around 19 mph, and to give you some idea how affects my shoots my bro ghost ,25 Hp shooting the jsb redesigned 33.95 grains at 950 fps are shifted around 5-7 centimeters at 100m.
That's why I thinking to acquire this continuum in order to have better performance with wind.
Thanks in advance for you feedback.

Tuxing TXED012 temp gauge

I used a 3-pin regulator to power one of my temperature gauges from compressor power. Another one, I made a switch adapter by placing two wire leads onto opposite sides of some plastic film with the wires to a switch.

Since it as so much easier to just replace the batteries, I just went back to that. Old, retired, with lots of time comes into conflict with lazy. ;)

There are lighter pellets than 44.75gn !

So your saying you generating 55 ft lbs with 37 grain pellets. 🤔

I’d have to see that to confirm it.
Yep, 54.9fpe out of a break barrel hatsan 130S and 135QE .30, with hatsans new 160 BAR gas piston. Both 30's have been gone through for friction reduction, barrel lapping, Crown re-cut, pellet port modification and on the .30's the moderator internals have been modified and so has the barrel shroud, that's just with the 10.6" barrel, If the barrel was 17.7" like the 125 .25 the 45gn .30 pellets would come out at around 820fps/67fpe and the 37gn would be about 925fps/70fpe, yet, as it stands 45gn at 724fps has 30.4fpe at 100Yds., 37gn is 32fpe. -- I haven't done the pellet 'splash' test (Flowering) with the 37gn Alloy pellets because they are $35.99 for 154 of them, P.A. has them at almost double that price, here is a picture of what my .30's did to 4 pellets fired into 2" thick steel for effect, they 'splashed', came apart instead of turning into the pellets that 'flowered'.

N/A  Marauder vs HM 1000x First PCP

Hello to all,

I am new to the PCP world and have already acquired a compressor. For the last three months I have been shooting a GAMO swarm viper out to about 50 yards. I had no idea how much I would enjoy this sport! I can shoot PB on my property but being able to sit inside next to my wife and talk to her while shooting has been a top notch 10/10 experience. Not to mention shooting an air rifle is much cleaner than a PB! Also, worth mentioning how much quieter it is.

That being said my GAMO break barrel is starting to diesel... I think... I typically will have a fairly long shooting session on the weekends. about 150-400 pellets in one sitting. However, lately if I'm shooting my GAMO a lot it starts to..diesel? smokes.. smells.. I set it down for a while and let it "cool off" and it'll shoot fine again for another 10-15 shots. That being said I've come to the conclusion that I want more accuracy out of my rifle. Which has led me to the PCP rabbit hole.

I typically bench rest shoot and would like something capable of shooting 100 yards fairly consistently. I THINK I want to be able to shoot slugs too. Reason being is that I live in Illinois out in the corn fields and the wind here is relentless. Shooting out of my GAMO I'm shooting 11.75 gr predator GTO pellets and the wind tosses them around a lot. It doesn't stop me from shooting though but between the springer being hold sensitive and the wind it can be frustrating.

SO I am in a bit of a dilemma.. I currently have $800 saved for a PCP air rifle. I would like to stay local as far as branding for fear of not being able to receive parts should I need them (USA)

OPTION 1: Benjamin Marauder
I really like this because of the price point and legacy. My buddy who got me into this sport has two P-rods he has built with CF bottles and completely transformed it into a work of art.
However, I like the traditional wood stock rifle look.

Pros:
good parts service/aftermarket availability
price
nice wood stock
accuracy
Quiet!
good trigger (better than my GAMO)
adjustable cheek riser

Cons:
I think this is the biggest for me. SHOT COUNT seems TERRIBLE and I can't find the parts for a bottle conversion...
a 20-30 shot count is a killer for me. the field and target model seems great with 80-90 shot per fill but I'm worried that you're trading shot count for power... so would the field and target just be a pea shooter? How would that affect it at say 100 yards...would the field and target be capable of shooting slugs? Or does it lack the power...
not regulated (unless field and target or I regulate it myself)


OPTION 2: RAW hm 1000x
This seems to just check all my boxes and is just a beautiful looking rifle. Not to mention USA made as well.

Pros:
nice wood/laminate stock
seems to be more accurate on reviews than m rod
more FPE
more fps
Good trigger
I believe it's slug capable?
local and from my understanding RAW is a great company to get in contact with.
Regulated
higher shot count 50-60

Cons:
Price. Is it too much air rifle for my needs? maybe a little pesting but nothing my current GAMO couldn't handle. mostly shooting paper, spinners, etc.

no cheek riser unless you go for the tactical chassis

I've heard it's relatively loud. which would mean the Mrs. would kick me outside with it lol. I have seen you can attach a donny fl silencer to it. I do prefer the look of the non shrouded version but have seen the pressed on threads come off on a review while shooting it and that has REALLY made me question whether or not it's worth it. But if it has to be shrouded so be it. still a nice rifle.



BONUS Daystate Wolverine R HP in either .177 or .22
I know it's across the pond but the price is just right. great shot count and power. I would love to shoot .177 seems you can get so much more ammo per dollar but I have a feeling the winds out here would really break my heart :( how is it dealing with parts and service from daystate? they seem to have reasonable reputation.


I know I could get more of a mid range like the avenger x but I try to stay clear of Chinese products with my hobbies. I am also a huge knife nut and only buy American made knives. I just don't get the same satisfaction buying Chinese goods. (I'm not saying they can't make a great product)


I'm open to any suggestions and advice anyone could give on the matter or any other rifles that I could be overlooking. Thank you!
The RAW is the best choice especially with a moderator - check classifieds for used

HW/Weihrauch  New look for an old friend.

After 3 + days of rain (6+") the sun finally came out today and I finally got to play with my Baby BB gun. Had a blast knocking a Gatorade bottle 40 yards up the driveway. Almost couldn't miss. Started aiming for the orange cap and I blew it off. Then I started knocking that up the drive. Then I made the mistake of trying for my smallest pistol plate. I hit the belted rubber hanger and the pellet came whizzing back and hit the house hard. Luckily it missed the windows. I won't try that again.
Your gonna shoot your eye out!

I need a Red Panda .30 slug tune for 75-78 grain boat tail slugs for long distance 200 yards

Drumie,
Just my opinion..................
I don't shoot competition. Just club range shooting at 200 yards

Again, just my option....................

One would think that since the RP has won several bench rest competitions, there would be tons of videos and valuable information here on AGN and the internet. However, besides all my AGN RP post and the 2 Youtube videos I made, there is NADA, Nilch, Crickets........

Again, just my opinion............

There has to be a Karma Red Panda "Secret Society" mainly made of pro shooters who are not willing to give up or share there secret tunes. This forces normal shooters like you and me to figure it out on our own.

I just shot my 2000th round today while testing 10 different slugs weights and shapes, 3 different hammer weights and 2 different hammer spring combinations.

I don't want to be a member of the "RP Secret Society" and will gladly tell ALL the AGN members the best .30 cal slug tune I came up with. However, at the moment, I don't want to lead anybody down the wrong path. I still have a few different slug/hammer/spring tunes to play around with.

Yes, I can split playing cards at 200 yards. but I don't its the best tune so far. I hope to post my findings in the very near future. In the mean time, my airgun dealer, "Sunny" at airgundirect.com was instrumental in sourcing these relatively and vaguely mentioned parts from the Karma.. Go ask "Sunny" if you need any RP parts.


Rod in San Francisco "just a guy with an airgun"
General statement here. The RP is highly adjustable and in ease compared to some others. Not electronic but probably the most versatile of the manuals. I have realized that we could have the perfect weight and diameter to L&G engagement but not enough or too much speed, or wrong twist for that length slug stability factor.
We possibly have no idea the stability and trigger control required for tight groups.
Last and most important thing is harmonic balance and I seriously believe the finest tuned rigs go through a process of tuning the common person doesn’t have access to. High speed cameras, frequency/harmonic refinement. So many variables. Airguns are great fun, teachers. I just think it would be nice if we knew what we were getting into from the start and had realistic expectations. Short of paying someone it’s a deep dive. Easily distracted by the next best thing we something just move on.
I’ve been into this for almost 20 years now and I have been shooting since I was 7. My eyes are on the downslope but my knowledge has grown.
You have a good platform. I’ve only looked at them but they are excellent top dog in .30 and .30 slugs or pellets are well rounded for I would say anything most people would ever want to do close up to 3-400 yards.
I personally love 10m .177 to .257 but I don’t like complicated PCP. Rock solid platform and tethered to a 6K step down inline reg. What that does for high performance Airguns like this Scandalous or a no onboard reg Condor with any barrel we choose is give super easy adjustment and consistency once there.
I have literally tried different slugs and from a bigger SCBA reached over and adjusted bar + or - and watched groups grow or shrink. It’s harmonics, speed to weight, twist, stability factor. When it’s right, hole on top of literal hole is not unobtainable. When we don’t know where to begin or platform is either not easily adjusted or too over engineered it is a literal nightmare you want to give up on and wonder why you dumped 3+ grand into lol.
Just some thoughts. Best wishes on finding your perfect tune.

Results  PSA Long Range FT 4-5-2025 Results

Than ks to Bryan W, Mike B, and everyone else that helped.

It was my first shoot and I think LRFT is a "HOOT"! LOL!

Match was not too difficult and it was very enjoyable. It also helped that winds were light. In that range winds can de devilishly hard to read.
In many ways it reminded me of BPCR shooting where you let go of the shot and you can count the seconds till the projectile gets there, LOL!
It was also interesting to compete with top $ equipment with an AvengeX and a bargain basement scope. I do have to say that the misses were almost all mine, there was only ONE errant pellet, but that one I would attribute it to the unsorted and unlubed pellets I was using.
Some pictures for your enjoyment are posted in the AirgunWarriors forum:

Keep well and shoot straight!

FX  Officially an FX owner now.

ONE OF US, ONE OF US, ONE OF US!!! JK, honestly I shoot pellets mostly cause I don’t want to spend the time, money nerves needed to get (very good) pellet accuracy out of slugs at 75y and in. That said, I have dedicated sluggers in .177 (my only .177 lol, let’s see whether I ever try pellets), .22 and .25 just so that I also have something that’ll do great further out and or in the wind. The only gun I have that is truly great at both is my P3. And maybe the m4, but that’s because it shoots 34gr AEA as if they were slugs :)
I may try slugs at some point, but for now I'm just really enjoying how the M4 is slinging the pellets. And I'm not saying I won't try a heavier pellet in the future, but for now the 18.13 gr pellets are doing just fine. Who knows, that may fall apart at 40-50+ yards later on and I may have to tune a bit or try a different pellet weight. I've really not shot seriously past 35 yards other than testing out the data I've entered into my Kestrel 5700 against the solutions it co.es up with at known ranges. So far I'm thinking I'm going to have to play with my BC number because there's about a 3 MOA difference between what the Kestrel says to dial in at 65 yards, and what I actually have to dial in. The Kestrel is telling me to dial in 3 MOA higher than I actually need to be...if I remember right.

Can you fill past 500cc

They are really just telling you that it's for filling rifle size cylinders and not scuba or scba cylinders. 580cc are fine, it'll never know the difference.
The big concern is heat. If you run a small, rifle filling only, compressor for long periods of time it will overheat the seals an toast them. Keep your runs to less than 10-15 minutes, shorter if possible and you'll likely be fine.
I have three or four GX CS2 compressors and I fill almost everyday with one of them, only guns and the runs are less than 10 minutes. I even fill 700cc cylinders, so if the runs are short, the compressor is fine. I do try to keep my hand on the head if it's a long fill, say from empty to 700cc @ 250 bar, and give it a rest when I think it's getting hot. No problems yet.

WIKA 1” gauge

@Hobbyman2007
FWIW
I understand your desire for WIKA gauges.
If you cannot find any in 25mm the HUMA AIR gauges have worked well in my older FX rifles
