Scope Base Mounting?

PNWTrekker said:
Looking for some advice on mounting scopes. All my experience is with traditional rifles. I am not familiar with the rail mounts I am seeing on a lot of the springers I am looking at. I believe in buy right / buy once but I also am aware of the law of diminishing returns. What are some good entry level bases? Are they all the same or do certain springers require certain bases? Do you find they require lapping?

@PNWTrekker For mounting scopes springer rated scopes on springers I suggest looking into Sports Match rings and mounts.

Sports Match:

3d print settings

bubbahotep
Wanted to share CURA 3d print settings that I found helpful for better prints. Eliminated fitting/reaming I had to do on mags so they'd spin freely.

Iniital Layer is for removing elephants foot. Hole is for making the holes slightly bigger so mags fit together better. Seam alignment is just do it quick vs a specific spot.

This combing reduces the travel:

If you use supports, the default 45 is too low. 60 is usually easy to do and results in smaller and fewer supports.

Slicing tolerance exclusive also helps to keep posts/holes from being too tight. Infill optimization is just for faster prints at the expense of slightly slower slicing.

Daystate  Does my .177 Daystate Delta Wolf shoot over 800 FPS?

R
@engfred has posted a link to his instruction set on how to make "factory tables" for the different projectiles for the DW. Ive been working thru them to create tables for my DW HP w/23" barrel for 8.4 and 10.3 pellets. The Daystate software only has tables for those weights in the 17" barrel configuration

AEA  Anybody know what causes this?

No, I don't use any tools except for removal. I install the o-rings simply by rolling them onto the 'thinner part'(?) which goes into the receiver.

@MOhunter I didn’t think so, but thought I’d ask because it hadn’t been mentioned. Those groove surfaces look chamfered in the photos. Let us know what you find.

Boerne (TX) Field Target Match Saturday, June 14, 2025

C
Hello Fellow Shooters,

Four brave shooters attended on a warm day with light steady breeze progressing to a bit hot 90 or so degrees and a strong, steady breeze, but not quite what I'd call a wind.

The course was set up as a nice 33.20 Troyer rating before modifications. One target had a bad day so 58 was the best possible score instead of our usual 60 shot match. The wind/breeze was a factor on some shots but not overly so.

Scotty had no peers and easily took 1st in Hunter PCP. Robert D. was challenged but reigned supreme in Hunter Piston! Jim C. said "I'm putting my springer back in the closet!"

The results:

Hunter PCP

Scotty H. RAW TM1000, Falcon X50-FT, FX 13.4 gr 46/58 for 79%

Hunter Piston

Robert D. TX200, Hawke 8-24 x 56, H&N Barracuda FT 9.57 gr 30/58 for 52%
Billy D. TX200, Hawke 6-24, JSB 10.34 gr 29/58 for 50%
Jim C. AA Prosport, Hawke 8-24 x 56, RM 10.3 gr 23/58 for 40%

Boerne Field Target Club shoots monthly on the Second Saturday of the month. We sport 10 wooded lanes with lots of shade and a friendly, small club atmosphere.

Fee is $20 per person, but first time shooters at the club are free.

Show time is 8:00 a.m. with safety talk and match start at 9:00 a.m.

We do a 60 shot match, so you get your money's worth!

We're located at the Boerne Shooting Club: 33 Shooting Club Road, Boerne Texas, 78006. Boerne is a small community about 20 miles northwest of San Antonio, Texas just off I-10.

The match director is Robert D. and can be reached at [email protected] or text to 210-414-1865

Diameter of carbon fiber rod to check moderator alignment?

S
All barrels are not equal. Lothar Walther barrels have larger land and groove diameters than other airgun barrels. Some barrels are heavily choked and others not at all.

So, Nervoustrigger's suggestion above, to wrap a slightly undersized rod with tape to create a custom fit in your barrel is a good one. A brass or steel rod (OK if you wrap it in tape) may be stiffer than CF. In any event, roll the rod on a flat surface to check its straightness before using it.

N/A  Wishful thinking

R
Czechs make fine rifles along with their engineering and machining being stellar. Here are a couple of articles you can read to get opinions on how this particular rifle rates:
1) https://hardairmagazine.com/reviews/kalibrgun-snipe-2-pcp-air-rifle-test-review-22-caliber/
2) https://www.airgun101.com/shooting-...its-on-its-on-kalibrgun-snipe-2-30-cal-review

Last year I wanted to purchase a new .22 cal airgun and the Kalibrgun Snipe was on the top of my list. Unfortunately it was not available and I couldn't wait so an Epic Two 300mm in .22 cal was purchased. My next gun will probably be a Snipe in either .22 cal or .25 cal. I like the looks and it seems to have all the power I can desire.

Chronograph Advice

R
OldVet said:
My fun or goal is to see if I can get 5 shots through the same hole , and I have actually,done that 3 times in the past week.
It has been a great accomplishment for me.
I use the chrony to help me get close to the sweet speeds I read about , or see reviews on. If I'm at 5 pellets through the same hole I'm done tuning , and record how I did it by scope adjustments , pellet speed etc. Then start over with a new weight pellet which means resetting everything then go back , and see if I can do it again.

My FX Bobcat & Royale, Evanix Sniper X2, Reximex Throne 2, AirForce Condor and Talons and a couple of my older British rifles will usually drop 3 at 40-45 yards before I pull one. Niksan Ozarks are close.

Haven't let the Max 1 go beyond 25 yards until I get a couple hundred rounds through it. Seems pretty accurate so far.

I just shoot paper recently as I have seen 1squirrel and no raccoon in 8 months at least. The squirrel died.

Thomas Air  Thomas Air Rifle #0411 is smoking it

J
cavedweller said:
Christmas came on 10 June 2025 this year.

I have previously owned two other Thomas .177 rifles. I purchased both used here on AGN...
The first one was a bench rest specific model and the other one was a full length field target version; both were exceptional shooters.

But Life Happens and at 68 years young, I chose to reduce both the length and weight of my airguns.
Thusly, some 16 months ago, I placed an order for a brand new Thomas .177 in the carbine version.
What makes this particular rifle so cool, is that I can shoot HFT, and HFT pistol and EFT pistol all with the same gun!

I'm currently rocking the Nightforce NX8 4-32x50 in second focal plane - these parallax / range really nicely! I may, or may not add an eyecup on this rig.

The 6" parallax wheel is a hybrid magnetic type that was made by Scope werks; Eric Sanders of Scope Werks has been mastering these new 3D/Aluminum designs.

The Shoulder / Butt piece is an MDT - very nice! Shoulder / Butt interface is not included with a Thomas. I bought this shoulder piece soooo long ago i forgot i even had it.

I also chose to have a pellet pusher (seating probe) installed directly on the breech, as my fingers are terrible at seating a pellet to the proper depth.

I haven't decided what i want to use as my barricade stop for the sticks "yet" but generally, less is more. I may figure out if i can make a Palm Riser aka Hamster that can double as the stop.

A 3300 psi fill should easily finish a 60 shot match.

If you are familiar with the Thomas platform, look very closely at the last picture and scratch your head for a long while.

I’m excited to create some real solid dope this week!

Congrats Rudy, It’s been a long wait but worth every minute of it. The only issue I see in your FT future, is the loss of one of your excuses! Enjoy that Bad Boy.

Grease

1911Tex
PG4 Vortek tuned 2 year old HW97K and 2012 RWS Diana '98; both internals liberally buttered with Amazon sourced Schaeffer's #274 Black Moly EP Synthetic plus Grease. Up to 250 degrees higher heat range than competitive greases. Designed for severe extreme pressure mechanical action with a high dropping point of +500 degrees and waterproof. Comes in a grease gun tube...should last a lifetime of greasing your springers. Both rifles cock easily with very smooth actions.
