Hell if it is sub 1k then yeah, worth a try. Otherwise, i would stick with ready known bangers

Airgun Nation is a forum dedicated to the air powered shooting sports. Politics, religion and Government issues have no place on AGN.

Get a GX CS2. I have about 40 hours on mine and zero problems.

I dont recall seeing any other mount on their site.
Not sure if this mounting solution ( camera / scope side ) is standard, this is my first NV scope.

The included mount have worked just fine for me

thank you mine as well.

mounting is critical for consistent readings.
i find the DNT Zulus side rail works very well for the FX v2

So with my testing guns and selling recently I haven't really posted in awhile about this gun. However I keep this gun in my truck and have been really enjoying this gun. Crazy part is even at 13fpe I have had way more DRT than I did shooting FX Hybrids at 40fpe on body shots. I'm not quite sure why but results don't lie. Was shooting it this afternoon in some 5-10mph winds and was pretty fun. Holding 1-2 MIL at 30yds lol. Really makes me think I should be looking for a .177 PCP in the 20fpe range for a pester.

I have a Wolverine R in 177 and there are no tamper screws at all. It's a pleasure to work on. The HP models would be the same. Only the sub 12 models have the tamper gear. Great guns!

That explains a lot! The Mk 3's .22 cal bore is slightly bigger than most. German guns are 5.5mm, older British guns are a true 22/100 of an inch, which math works out to 5.6mm.

Vintage Webley-brand pellets, or "blue tin" Eley Wasps, are true "5.6" ones, and highly prized for old .22 BSA's and Webleys. If you can't find those, a lot of UK shooters find the .22 RWS Superdome is is the best modern pellet for the Mk 3 (I guess RWS's .22 skirts run big, similar to their .177 ones?).

UK forums can be very helpful. Mk 3's are built like tanks and last forever, with the result you still see plenty of posts about them!

Success! I found the courage to tap a 5/16" flat screwdriver blade about 1/8" deep between the sight rails. Bingo. The sight engaged and I was able to knock everything back into the barrel grooves with a plastic mallet. Funny. After I paid $50 for this tiny, fragile looking unit, I lost my nerve and common sense. One little prying nudge was all it needed. Thanks, guys.

a bigger hammer is a wonderful thing.. the courage to apply it another thing.. and the ability to temper the blow... well, thats'
a skill i haven't learned.

What are the power settings on these guns? Meaning like the different TP settings.

Greetings Friends,

Weather permitting, this-coming Saturday, February 1 we’ll be enjoying American style 20 foot pound and 12 foot pound (maximums) field target competitions at the Ranchito Robinson TEXtreme Airgun Sports Global Headquarters Airgun Competitions Complex Venue (RRTASGHACCV, for short). Shooters are welcome to shoot one or two classes if you like, by purchasing one or two score-cards (per shooter) on Saturday.

The focus this weekend being on 20 and 12 foot pound maximum pistols, the course(s) will feature high pistol Troyer difficulties of about 40T for either power-level class. However, any shooter is welcome to shoot any airgun (pistol or rifle) falling within the power limit of whichever class you enter.

That a 40 pistol Troyer translates to about 25 rifle Troyer offers the opportunity for good fun posting high scores with air rifles. Be it a pistol, two pistols, a rifle, two rifles, or a pistol and a rifle, what greater opportunity to increase your shooting pleasure than doubling your trigger-time in friendly competitions?

In that spirit, single scorecards per shooter are $20, and a second scorecard per shooter only an additional $10 ($30 total for two cards). Yes, you may purchase two cards to shoot one gun twice in the same class; however for shooters doing so, only the first scorecard shot on every lane will count toward a coveted Match Winner hat-pin (awarded in any class with at least four entrants).

The practice range will open at 9 AM Saturday morning for sight-in/practice. The shooters meeting will be at 11 AM, with the match starting shortly thereafter.

Feel free to call me with questions, or for more information.

See You Saturday,
Ron & Maggyy
254-253-1239

P.S.- A copy of the current TEXtreme Pistol rules (20 FP maximum) is attached. Twelve foot pound Pistol and 20 FP Rifle rules can be found at aafta.org .

FT Match Report Arlington Sportsman’s Club 01/25/2025



Welcome to the first ASC FT match report for 2025! And what a great match it was! Scott and I setup the course on Friday afternoon in the sunny but windy conditions, hoping that the weather forecast for Saturday would be the same or better. The course this month was a little different than usual in that it was 68 shots instead of the usual 60, and there were two offhand lanes. Scott told me there would be lots of griping about the offhand lanes, but I told him it would be okay because I would blame him since he was unable to be there. What a swell Asst to the MD; he helps setup and takes any blame during the match!

We had 11 shooters come out today to challenge the 68-shot course in cool Texas temperatures and somewhat uncommon 15mph winds. Once again, Scott put the targets in challenging locations on the course; partially obscured by trees, behind obstructions that cause the shooter to move in the box, and in dark places. The Troyer was 30.4, SD 5.04, Avg Dist 30 yds, and Avg KZ 1.06”. The wind made the course more challenging that 30.4T for sure!

Here are the results for December:
Brian S won Hunter PCP and HOA with 64/68 shooting his FX Crown (that he just rebuilt the previous day), followed by Billy D in 2nd with 62/68 shooting his FX Crown, and then Rick Cuccio in 3rd with 61/68 shooting is FX Royale. Weird, that’s three FX’s in the top 3. I don’t know if that has happened before. Everyone else was in a single-entry class today. Jerry C shot 43/68 in Unlimited with his FX Crown .22cal rifle. Rick K was unchallenged in Hunter Piston again with 44/68 shooting his HW97K, Jim Byrd made a quick switch to his pistol when his FX Impact started leaking before the match and shot 31/68. I finished up the entries with 50/68 in WFTF PCP with my NJR100 that I’m getting more comfortable with. Scott already has the results uploaded, so take a look at https://airgunshoot.com/ that shows the average score on each lane, your score on each lane, your hit percentage by lane or near/mid/far targets, how you compare to your class average, your class winner, and the HOA winner. Thanks to Scott Cotton for his continuing work on this.

Thanks to everyone for helping take down the course, it was very much appreciated, and thanks for coming out for what turned out to be a very enjoyable first FT match for 2025. Our February match will be on the Saturday February 22nd.

See you at the next next match,
Jeff Cloud and Scott Cotton

Nice! Where did you get your M60B?

Click to expand...

March 2024 from Krale (Netherlands) $605. USD. WM

There are 2 different gauges of metal available. I have the heavy gauge. You can see a pellet hit at 50 but they don't spin.

The rimfire rocks them good.

Taipan Veteran and AGT Vixen are my two quietest out of the box. I owned a P-rod and it’s very quiet too.

Has anyone tried doing this and succeeded with the V3? I know this posts are likely talking about the Vulcan or Vulcan 2, but I'd imagine it's not much different. I've never heard of silastic but this is intriguing.

Would love to see pictures of your solution! Thanks

Shot this nice group with the Varmint Knocker 15gr .178 sized slugs at 49.6yds.

Top left was a sighter, 6 under a dime and 1 that I pulled shooting form my car window, aiming where my finge is pointed.

I would most likely swap stocks and actions to find the best IN YOUR OPINION . then sell /trade one of the two left

I went out today to re-sight in my Epic One .25 with the 700mm unchocked CZ barrel. I have been trying varios slugs as this will be a slug shooter and today I shot the Griffin .25 60g boat tail HP slugs. My zero is at 30 yards and I have 4 1/2" horse stall mats stacked back to back with a piece of 2" mahogany behind them as the final stop. My regulator is set at 125-130 bar for now. My fps average was 768 for 10 shots with an SD of 3.1. I was able to retireve a couple of the slugs after shooting them I was surprised that they went through 3 of the 4 mats! Most of the pellets I shoot make it through 2 but not 3 with varing calibers and pressures. What surprised me is the muschrooming of the 2 that I found. The pictures are below. The grouping was very close to hole in hole with a couyple that went outside but not by more than about .39 inches. I have an opportunity to go coyote and hog hunting at a friends ranch. We went out the other night and saw 3 bob cats, one coyote, 25 deer, 2 skunks, 3 rabbits and one opossum. The bob cats and the coyote did not get within range that we wanted to shoot so we will go out next week and try again. I will certainly be using these slugs on the larger game!

You need to try Ben’s LDC ones. Low density core HP HRBT

KWK said:

That's very interesting. And I like BKL
The 14mm BSA dovetails are on the Maxi grip rails. The BKL and Sportsmatch rings place the scope too high. Best solution I found is to use Leupold Rifleman rings. Perfect fit with the stocks BSA come with

I used Sportsmatch once and they cut into the rail of a nice R1. They didn’t move but I would rather the R1 stay mint. Live and learn, I sold those with the gun since they had made themselves part of the gun. I only use BKL now, they leave no evidence on these classics. I would gladly use something with a stop on a beater. I am between beaters but there is one on the way in the mail. That will be a different thread.

These are my typical groups with my Impact M3 .22 600mm 18gr pellets.
No cherry picking straight from the tin 60 yards light head wind 3-6mph
one shot per dot x 4, started at the bottom and repeat round robin. Best group of the day was the top right blue dot.

I like this ! one shot per dot then repeat . nice groups .

Not to mention that this Compact is ACCURATE! Luke hit a fly at 50 yards on shooter 1721!

Was able to shoot some today, still shooting out of the box settings and the thing just shoots, it will make a ragged one hole group at 40 yards. But unfortunately started shooting with the moderator and it does not like it all. I have the Yokozuna and removed sections to lighten it up but that still was not enough. So gotta re-group on that. I think the weight and length are the issue for this type of shroud over barrel. But the the gun is not loud without it. I did test the H&N Baracuda Hunter Extreme 28.2 grain some today and they are really accurate at the factory setting on regulator 2000 psi. I have not tried adjusting the hammer spring screw any. Just having fun learning and amazed about how this thing shoots.
Also My Zelos at this out of the box setting shoots the ZAN MK2 26.5 grain slugs into a tight clover leaf at 40 yards consistently.
