A frozen gel ice pack has worked well for me. It will show up the opposite color of what is warmer than it. Also after you shoot it a few times, it holds together better than ice. You can place the pack in another bag after putting several holes in it and keep shooting it.

Care to share what tripod you are using for the chrono? Thanks

I've said that I'm quitting, especially non working ones, but I still buy them when I see them cheap.

Congrats! That's some fine shooting in windy conditions for the first time out @ 100!

It is a INCLINOMETER to measure degrees of up/down slope.
Field Target set up having Dope correction for slope as well distance correction

got it! thank you for explaining as i never saw it before..

Pretty sure the D series has the original trigger guard and grip which is what the older rifles had. The newer versions are the E series which have a different trigger guard and an AR compatible grip. I don't think the valves or power generated changed from the D series to the E series...?

"Crafted with the original trigger guard and grip, the Condor pays homage to its classic roots while incorporating advanced features for today’s demands. The sleek black finish exudes a sense of rugged sophistication, ensuring this rifle looks as good as it performs."

I love mine, in spite of the flaws and limitations. It’s currently in fast twist Alfa .177 450mm mode. I played around enough to figure out that the sideways kick is caused in large part by the very stiff valve spring, which is templated on the 250 barrel which needs very short dwell. Popping in a lighter spring for 350mm and longer barrel allows for the use of less hammer and generates longer dwell, reducing the anger in the shot cycle. Adding a peek poppet gives further icing on that cake.

I use the spring from Tim Hills pistol hammer kit:

I'm guilty of Gun and foot photos, they just seem to be there in every picture.....

Should only be one free hose.
All of the scenarios only have one hose.
Or should. If you have more than 1 you have something wrong.

Also, the stacked (#2) option fill the tank from the bottom regulator.

I am a big fan of option #3. It is the simplest and combines #1 & #2. Your tank is max fill and your gun doesn't get over pressurized.

Any qd

I have the GRS stock on my Dreamline and love it. This stock is just as nice and I’m sure it feels as good as the GRS. I agree GRS should make a stock for the DRS as well. Once adjusted these stocks transform any rifle so much. Everyone has different dimensions so any rifle is not going to fit everyone , simple as that. Biggest thing is having a proper line of sight with a proper cheek weld. That is why I came out with Accu-Riser line of comb risers.

This is my all-time favorite air gun. It is in .22cal so very efficient with air (48+) shots on a 225bar fill on regulator, 31.5ft/lbs. Short and light, reasonably cheap to shoot with accuracy 2nd to none first to last shot day in and day out.

What's the gun and model? Thank you.

This year for me has just been learning and trying to figure out what I want to end up starting this pcp journey with. I am still trying to figure out if I want to go tank or compressor too.

That’s a fair comment

I was wondering if you had the magazine wound more than 1 time around since you have a .177
thought that if you had wound it up 2x or more that it might be shearing or crushing the pellets when loading

not a good thing just buy one save money

Yeah, they seem to be easy to work on. Right now I'm pretty happy with the performance out of the box. If I decide to tune it up at some point, I'll get with Derrick. We don't live very far from each other. He's been a good friend to me for several years.

Damn lucky you, he ain't far away lol.

MikeVV said:

Hmm, I wonder.

There's a kit on the market that allows the Ruger 10-22 to be placed into an actual (very close) copy of an FN-P90 stock. Wonder what it would take to put an air gun into it ?
That AUG (above) looks good. I had one WAY back when the were originally imported into the US. Bought it through Parker Center (the main Los Angeles police center).

Here's a 10-22 I did years ago.

I used a 10/22 aftermarket tactical type stock on a Snowpeak M10 before. Got the idea from a fellow who did the same to an Evanix gun so yes... it will work. Was minimal modification as I recall. Love the 10/22's by the way. Mr. Potato head guns.

Real benchrest report from Ireland and an N50 tag too. N50 website noted is the old one tho.
Ha, just noticed it was from 7 years ago.

They do have a FB page. https://www.facebook.com/NRBAI/

Thanks. Learn something new daily. LOL

I don’t see it on the Hill reference PDF. Replacing the dry-pac seems straight forward. If I need to o-rings (reference on my screen shot above, as #14), where do I get them? I looked on the hillpump site, but didn’t find anything that looked like my hand pump.

Click to expand...

I haven't crossed that bridge yet. The filter is a add on so you may need to drop Hill an email. Also, if it fits snug and has resistance when rotating, you don't need to bother.

Thanks for reaching out with that info guys!

My friend Bobby, who lives an hour away, made a custom Delrin washer for me to exactly fit between the two surfaces and the Royale is back in action again. "(Much appreciated BTW and fun to watch him do it)" Now to wait for some warmer weather to enjoy shooting the old Royale again.

I got a brand new Vector Continental 5-30x56 mounted yesterday and did a quick zero but I'm curious how fast it's sending the 18's compared to before.

Thanks for the offer but I ended up ordering the rifle so I'll be using what I have.
