Looking for a compact scope? Check out my post.

Like to hear from you guys .what's the best combo u use for big game ,ie:deer ,bear,ram ,elk and can u get kills hots over 150 yards ?do u go for high fps or heavy slug?

My nephew has one, loves it out in the orchards by the farm. Squirrels on the other hand, not so enthusiastic.

one problem is shooters ability or just goofing around ?. At my range we built a new pistol 40 foot steel plate range . we made the 3 sided berm 12 feet higher than the targets.
Sounds good right ? NO we found holes in the trees just in back of the new range above the total 17 foot high berm (12 feet higher than the targets )

I took my brother in law to the range one time and one time only because he was that idiot.

Looks like a Total War Tactical skeleton buttstock, which is a copy of one of the XLR stocks.

Pic 1 and 2 are Total War pieces.
Pic 3 came to me a few years later & while similar is different in the sub frame ?

Just what I would do would be shooting one of my Gauntlets in .25. I’ll limit that to 50 yards and nothing larger than a raccoon. Hogs, coyotes or bigger it will be a powder gun in .308. Opinions very but that’s what I’m comfortable with.

I view the Crown as the successor of the Royale, with easier adjustment. I don't think they're at all hard to work on. I can strip and seal a Crown of it's critical orings in 45 minutes or so. Now the Impact....I love 'em, but they're a bit of a turd to work on. There's just so much to deal with going wrong. BUT, when they shoot, they shoot really well indeed. I'd still love to get my hands on an unmolested Mk2 with PP, and I'd be a happy camper.

FX pushes the limits, no question, and that seems to be why they outsell all others.

I’ve almost purchased the HW set a few times, only to be saved by my short attention span LOL

Question answered and thread drift into firearms. Closed.

I’ve got the barrel end ones and a Shooting Chrony knockoff along with my old Shooting Chrony.
The Chinese ones are superior to the Shooting Chrony in that they’re less finicky with lighting.
For the less than $20 price I have no desire for $500 ones. I just read here that Athlon may be
coming out with a Garmin type thats hundreds less. If so I will get it.

Cheap steel 3 or 4" gongs work (Ebay). Easy to figure out your own rack from which to hang them. 1/4 or 1/2" steel won't be penetrated by airguns.

All (3) of my traditional RAW stocks came with a too-tight fit. I just sanded the inletting down a bit until the fit was snug but not a bear to remove. I then sealed the inletting with Royal London Oil.

Hi Dunk,

I'd let the Sportsman fix it under warranty. You have 3 years and once you go into it your warranty will be invalidated. It shouldn't cost you a penny.

It is the inner rotating holes that are not aligning correctly (centering) with outside hole). So, dremeling the outside hole won't fix the problem as the pellet probe is hitting the edge of the inside rotating holes. Dremeling all of the inside holes would make them all ovals which would make all the pellets loosely flopping around in a large oval hole. Furthermore, there is only a very thin wall between the internal rotating holes so there is very little to work with. Am I not understanding you, or are you not understanding me? Please clarify if I am missing something.

Just pointing out that when you tried to post a picture it showed your file directory which had your name in the file path, just from a security standpoint something you want to avoid just remove your post that I replied to

I would love to see a simpler, more utilitarian replacement stock for my macavity MA2..

I love the rifle, but really don’t like the stock.

Something more similar to America air arms EVOL would be ideal with a rail along the bottom of the tube..

It would be essentially a pic rail along the bottom with a trigger gaurd and ar grip mount and then up to the ar stock mount..

I’ve worked on some stuff with Buck Rail. I will check with him to see if he is releasing a stock for it. I agree with you, the platform seems great, but the looks of it aren’t the best.

Got to talk to AOA today. Got a used Daisy 888 and used Crosman 2300S bought. With the 887 we are set the heck up. Well maybe we need one more pistol . Thanks for the heads up.

I've got an HW99s in .22 unmolested and it is sublimely accurate and easy shoot with very little recoil compared with my Hatsan Striker in .25. The Hatsan is a totally different beast and I haven't hunted with it or done any pest control yet, but for smiles it's the one!
My 99 is almost surgical and .22 is the perfect caliber for it. It's my go to for any job that's required.

We tried it on an actual M1A and it didn't fit on that.

This is the lenght and weight of .284 (7mm) from the noe 106 mold that has been drcked down

You're right about the skirts being thin, and I think that's why they work at .216, the air must be expanding the base to make contact. I'm gettting great speed, and accuracy, so I know they are spinning. My skirts, in my tins, are not damaged. This surprised me too, because I was expecting it. Lucky so far, I guess, and I hope it stays that way.

Lubrication helps

Many years ago I did that to the stock of my Daisy Safari. It was for point sooting only as the sights really did nothing.

Received the Omega today, and when I tried running it for the first time I had an issue. Called AoA up and they promptly connected me with their tech who troubleshot via text with me and got me going. This is precisely why I went with AoA, and I’m glad I did. They are a class act over there.

And yes, it looks to be a re-badged GX E5K1 but with AoA backing. Worth the price given my experience already.
