I bought some too. Btw my old daystate Mk4 simply loves them. At the high setting velocity is only 878 fps. Haven't gotten a chance to try them on pests yet but I'm hoping for big things from that large hollow point

Just make sure to measure the length of the stock regulator and set the Huma to the same length. Mine was good from Huma.

I do not use a hand scanner as this method works great for me. My biggest issue is that animals will literally walk right by me and have no idea that I am there. If a deer gets within 15', I usually make a small noise so that they don't spook and run me over. Had an Armadillo come and sniff my boot, and foxes and coyotes just trot by if the wind is right.

The batteries last ~ 4 hours. I do put it on standby mode as I move about, but only so the animals do not see the illuminated viewfinder. There is only a minuscule amount of battery power saved by doing this. If I am out longer, I just throw a new set of rechargeable batteries in the unit.

It is now dark and I will be heading out soon. I hope the piggies cooperate.

@MAUMAU Happy hunting and be safe. I understand close encounters. I’ve had my fair share.

I’ve been seeing the odd post over the last couple months talking about a Theoben comeback. Do we know if these are production models that are going up for sale at retailers?

I have to be honest here. I’m not sold on the side lever. To keep try to the original design, they should keep the bolt action. Let the RAW brand have the side lever.

The socks are all great looking with adjustments that all gun manufacturers should offer.

You know I was actually considering the 600 as well. Still haven’t decided but I will most def look into it! Thanks!

I have only had 1 700mm barrel inn all my dawdling with air guns. Proved too long. I can get all the power I want out of a 600mm when shooting slugs. However, I don’t shoot the heavy for caliber slugs and that is where the 700 shines.

Another Optimum way to get to 12 fpe.... add a regulator with a weaker hammer spring...

In fact I had a notos with a 380mm superior, from 730fps to 840 they shot well enough to take 100s of souls.
After I slapped on a 600mm they tightened further. Out of the 600 from 850-900 they shot just as well as jsb pellets. About 1.3moa at 100 if I had the gun on a lead sled. Frequently plucked squirrels out of trees 65-93y from my elevated perch at my preferred hunt. I don't foresee disappointing results. Start shooting them at 870 and work up. Every barrel is unique.

Thanks for the info buddy much appreciated. Really answered my question bout the griffins.

Sounds like it’s very accurate that way

Skout needs to do both Buna N & Polyurethane O-rings. There is no doubt that poly is better in some applications…….AND there is even no less doubt that Buna N is better in a lot of applications. A PCP can utilize both in the same gun. That’s my .02.

Again, my opionion here; Skout used poly previously and they are not only accustomed to such seals but that’s what they had in paid for stock and available. Now, with PCPs please diversify your seal use portfolio

I agree. In the applications where a constant high pressure is present, the PU orings can tend to take a “set” like the SK-OU9009 in the HP regulator. We shifted that to 90 duro Buna N over a year ago, and recently Skout has installed a 70 duro Buna N X ring in that position.

Something I'm curious about is the wood stock of the blackwolf and the effects of atmosphere and humidity on consistency across time. I don't think you need to worry about this with the Ghost bc of the construction of it. Is this a moot point, am I overthinking this?

Non issue… I’m in the Deep South and not a problem

Quantify or define - nice?!

A higher quality PB you're looking at a heck of a lot more than $1300. For example go price Vudoo or RimX rimfires.
Same for many higher end PB's of all kinds.

You're paying much more for the diminishing returns for higher quality stuff but it is there nonetheless. It's called refinement, and yes superior ergos, match grade triggers, and better build quality, every upgrade all adds up to excellence.

Yes $1300 is a lot of money but $1300 buys a lot less than it did a decade ago.

what’s nice to me might not be so nice to you

1300$ can get me an m&p40 and ammo, or a jericho 941. not the best, but nice in my eyes.
majority of airgunners aren’t looking to push past 100 yards for a kill.
if they have the money, they can spend it. i personally can’t recommend +1500$ airguns to someone just starting out.

slcrcflyer · Mar 8, 2025

70 yards with the Behemoth reflex system. (As usual this is not a cherry picked group that was shot in a variable 5-15 mph swirling wind off a tripod). The accuracy is a bit better over the Valkyrie Huma mod50 configuration. I would guess the air stripper is doing a good job lowering the turbulence in the moderator can.

markhooper · Feb 16, 2025

yes they are very interesting and collectors items as you saw the price of the uberti on eBay..
the cartridges are the catch.. there's only so many of them around, being all brass and stainless steel I doubt they will go bad..
I still keep thinking about getting ahold of a cartridge and trying to find a CNC machine shop to produce the parts.. they are realitively simple design and only one of the o rings are hard to install.. you need a tapered hat and silicone grease, then it's somewhat easy.
would be great to see more added to this thread and even better if someone knows how to add links to the other threads about them here..

i think they have come up with a way to savage a bad idea
i did watch the video and the part where he said if the tube isn't centered that is okay
the rifle shoot very well and now has 3 sources of power HPA-CO2-Nitro
is it a winner maybe

Running mine on all 3, 700 + FPS with a 17.6 gr Norma pellet, 860 on HPA and Nitro. I had to get one even though I have many PCPs and air sources to boot, and will be able to help the noobs who have one sort things out.
Top it off the darn gun was accurate enough to invest in better optics and power sources.

TopGun-Airguns.com just brought out a line of Storage Devices for Airguns, and Firearms for Rifle and Pistols in the form of Gun Cases, Personal Safes, and Commercial Safes. They can be found here: https://www.topgun-airguns.com/product-category/gun-storage/

.............

That is one of my pet peeves I never let go. You are selling RSC's (residential security containers) as safes, they are not safes by industry definition. there is no grey area. Safes have UL ratings, UL has an RSC rating and it is a joke, basically nobody get's there RSC's certified by UL for the simple fact they can't even pass that low bar. Same goes for advertised fire ratings, if it isn't cerified, it isn't worth a damn. I own 3 RSC's myself, not that I am against them, just be honest about it. I do own one real tl-15 fire rated safe, smaller than my smallest RSC, and weighs a few hundred pounds more than my biggest RSC.

I had been waiting to use the magazine until I had a bit more time. I have limited time so sighting in took a few days at only a few shots per day. Pictured are the sighting in, and the continued sighting in, along with some practice shooting. All using the single shot tray. Targets are out of order. One of the 'fliers' are actually a kill shot.

30 caliber works great and is minimum legal caliber in Idaho For pcp air rifles.

elmerfudd · Aug 2, 2025

Update. I left the V2 mount in the same position but moved the scope one bolt towards the rear. This helped make it more comfortable to shoulder with proper eye relief compared to before. Most of the scope weight now is over the grip and it balances better as well.

I'm not sure and forgot who I got the wheel from?? But I got them both used. I'd have to look to see if the manufacturer is marked on the Butt piece. I lucked out that this wheel happened to fit that HG2 2-12, lol?!

Here’s my final setup
i would not use the Weihrauch moderator for competition - backyard only!
NX8 with a 6” scopewerks wheel. Rowan palm riser and a PRS barricade stop.

You can email them to your self as an attachment and then open your email on the computer.

In that case, I'd not only kill them, I'd enjoy doing it. I'm not in your shoes though and for me hunting crows means going out of my way to kill something that's not bothering me and that I don't really want to eat.

Been there, done that but shhhhh, don't tell anyone

That is why I was trying to warn you and others of the pitfalls that lie ahead.
