great looking rifles! Im looking for a good 30cal

I primarily use Patch Worm and Gunzilla works the best for actually grabbing onto and pulling lead out. When you pull Balistol through it’s VERY slippery and easy to pull the patch. When using Gunzilla is very grabby a noticeably more difficult to pull. It’s night and day different.

Yes i would so shoot .22 if i could, so many more options.
I would probably also have a even bigger caliber PCP, but then it would just be 1

Smaller calibers do make sense when you are on a limited budget like a pension, and also not forgetting we only have 125 M or so of range, but i am sure a .22 would give me higher and more consistent accuracy within that.
I have seen people shoot .22 pellets at 100 yards as good if not better than i shoot .177 slugs. that is very alluring.

One thing I like about the .177 10gr slugs is that my Vet compact shoots them as well or better than 10.3gr pellets and has excellent expansion at 18fpe . Plus all the benefits of a lower bc with slugs than pellets . I can get dimes at 50y with my Maverick using Hybreds or 17.5gr NSAs but much smaller groups and better consistently with AEA or JTS 25.4gr pellets . So I keep it as a 47 fpe pellet shooter. I don't shoot much at 100y but it was fun when I tried and got around 1.5" with 18gr pellets. I'm sure the 25.4s would group better . Part of the fun , for me, is figuring things out and finding those nuggets.

will it down a squirrel at 15 yards?

just my 2 curious

That is exactly what I am interested in. I noticed that all of the YouTube videos shooting rats on farms involve inferred or some type of night vision. I looked into it a little and was shocked by the cost of such a scope, even an IR clip on is really expensive!

Night vision be it Enhanced or Thermal is 100% illegal in California to have on any weapon be it Air gun or Powder.
Tread very very carefully here as if caught your gonna get majorly screwed !!!

My v2 has never had reading issues mounting it to the left side pic rail. Never missed a shot.

Theres no left/right rail in TRS, and with 800mm barrel and side mount might not be good.. And the people telling they have bad readings, its most likely from vibration of doppler reflection. Atleast they can try if it makes any differ.

It’s not especially loud with any of the moderators I mentioned, just not especially quiet. Pretty damn snappy when shot bare though. I have to admit though that my standards might be unreasonable. My modded Wildcat sets the bar extremely high when it comes to quiet.

By far the krait L .177 it is the quietest a rifle I have had both with and without a mod.

I'm a little confused , why would you buy an expensive gun like the pro and want to switch the stock out for the Saber Tactical stock ? or am I missing something ?

The bare action is only like $1200

Short barrel, small plenum and standard valve...

Click to expand...

I have an .22 AF Talon SS that had those properties.

Wasn't too bad. I fixed it

12" barrel -> 19" barrel
300PSI unregulated bottle & valve -> High flow valve, Huben Cricket Max-ATH regulator, 1.1L Acecare Fat bottle
No plenum -> MAX-ATH 50CC plenum
Stock 49g hammer -> 90g hammer
Stock 1.5x25x100 spring -> 2.0x25x100 spring (that number is a guess, I never measured the heavy spring)

When I cranked up to regulator to 3000PSI and the power wheel to 10 I got
1100 FPS & 70FPE with Apolo Monster 25.4gr pellets.

Now I run 1800PSI and get around 850FPS & 45FPE

as Carol Shelby once said when questioned about moving from the 289 to the 427 in the Cobra.
"Doesn't the 427 have too much HP, wasn't the HP in the 289 good?"
"Well, if a whole bunch was good then too much must be just right"

If you wanting to utilize the Full Filling Capacity when you are Filling your tank....
The Proper fill Adapter will be needed...
For SCBA...Here is an adapter to fill from the DIN300(Alkin's) to SCBA
The will keep the bottlenecks to the flow to a minimum...

air gun sellers usually ask too much;then can not sell so instead of lowering their price the put the air gun in a corner and forget about it; they die and it is up to someone else to sell it,they do not know what to ask and just want to get rid of it.Craigs list n,facebook or your newspaper maybe better places to find cheaper "stuff" .I make this promise,I will die with only one airgun.

Yep, collections on Gunbroker.com are consigned from estates. Usually start as $0.01 opening bid. I drop bids on them and about 25% of the time it wins. 25% of the time I get outbid and rebid. 50% time I don't care enough to rebid.

this will be awesome! We need to coordinate a hunt together for sure

Heck yeah! We stopped servicing Miami Beach so I haven't been there in a while.

Thank you sir, will add them to the research list.

That seems to be the policy of most of the big box stores now. I couldn't return my Gamo to Bass Pro either.

You may as well just order online. You'll most likely get both a better price and a better return policy.

Yep I agree

Hey guys...Does anybody know If there Is an aftermarket cheeck riser for the MK4 Impact ? , I have had a look around but couldnt find anything .



Thanks .

Click to expand...

The aftermarket cheekriser for the Mk2 and mk3 should work just fine with the M4.

I bought an R-9 22cal from Flying Dragons.In 2021-2022? I've seen AEAC videos. And in 1 he described the sound of the cocking action as a clean,smooth fast "snick". That's exactly what I experienced. Absolutely my favorite 22cal spring air rifle.

boscoebrea said:

yes indeed,bad scope,make sure your new scope is springer rated; the scope may cost as much as your springer

Click to expand...

I'm going to give this scope one more try, may be a waste of time but I have more time than money. Like you said a good scope will cost more than what I paid for the rifle. Just what to rule out operator error. Today I waited till dark and bore sighted it again and tomorrow I will put a few pellets at the target and fine tune, a few clicks at a time. Not making large adjustments all at once like I did before.

Funny, I returned two of these exact scopes recently since the parallax was waaaay off. Glass and turrets were really nice though considering the price. The rings are great indeed, I use two sets of them for 34mm tubes, no issues whatsoever.

Sorry I’m a little late on this. A lot going on at work.

Another great match at the Tulsa FT club yesterday. Ten souls braved a chilly, overcast and somewhat windy day.

It was a sixty-eight shot match (not a misprint) with ten lanes of three targets, two shot per target. In addition to this, the two forced lanes one standing and one kneeling, two targets per lane, two shots per target, were added into the mix. Thus, sixty eight. We want you to get your money’s worth.

And a real bonus was we had a special guest, Jeff Cloud, all the way up from Arlington, to see what all the hubbub in Tulsa was all about. Thanks for coming up Jeff!

But the real cherry on top was when Bob Benda from OKC CRUSHED IT shooting a 54/68 FOUR shots ahead of 2nd.

So what makes this so spectacular??

Bob is 80+ years old!!

Dude came to own the match!

Bob, next match you DOMINATE you’re gonna have to “pee in a cup”. You’re a taking a little more than vitamin supplements….

In all seriousness, CONGRATULATIONS and good shooting Bob!

Next months' match March 8th will be our 1st anniversary match. We will have door prizes (thank you Pyramyd Air!) and other fun stuff happening.
Be like Jeff; come out and see what all the hubbub is about!

See you there!


Results

I will plead the 5th

I had one during my 10m rifle phase.
Trigger was excellent
I don't recall it being loud at all, most rifles with bloop tubes are barky, but not this one
Stock doesn't feel cheap at all
cheek on mine would swap, but you have to order a lefty grip

The ad for them says "ambi stock", so maybe the grip was reversible but it has that tail on the grip

Mine was pretty darn accurate and didn't seem nearly as heavy as the ads report. It was also not pellet fussy at all, but then I fed it pretty decent target ammo. Nothing exotic, but Meisterkugln and such.

I don't think you'd be disappointed at all with one. I had FWB 600 versions and of course they're SSPs but the stock felt fat and clunky compared to the svelt stock on the Hammerli

Thank you.

Hello I am in desperate need of a diagram or instructions on disassembling an Evanix Giant semiauto 9mm rifle. It has developed a leak where the pellets enter the chamber. If anyone has one or can point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
