I also have had no problems with the UTG Bugbuster....on a TX 200, Getting near 7,000 rounds. Only problem is it is a little short at its most rearward mount. I can live with that.I have had a lot of luck with the UTG Bugbuster. I got the one with side parallax (3-12x32)
That is great to hear! Always refreshing when a content creator is willing to improve.That's a fair statement and I agree. I edited the video and removed that section. Thanks
I never tried the MRD with it, mine shot slugs great out to 200yds. It loves the 25gr HN HP2 slugs in .218 at 945fps and 1007fps from my experience, also 30gr HN HP2 at 935fps under 1 inch groups at hundred was common as long as the wind was playing sneaking up.Have any of you shot 25.4 MRD pellets in your 700's? Do they out shoot slugs say at 50Y?
Just make sure to recover them lolI'd hope I could reuse them, they're stupidly expensive!
I will be shooting a 33 ftlb .177 (16.2)pellets this month. “FULL MONTY” here I come. Lol here is some of my tuning results. I am not done yet but it is close. The Garmin screen is from 1 fill of 250 bar shot down to 180bar. I think I can get the ES a little better. So if I can do a 72 shot match on 1 fill would be respectful for a bb gun. LolI have to post here as I've talked to Ben last year (2024) here in Ohio I started what I called Long Range Ft match and 70-100 FPE ,we were shooting ranges 10 to 100 yds. And had one shooter travel 3 hours one way just to shoot the matches. My 25cal was down so I shot the match with a rifle that was under 20 FPE and was a 177cal and had a 6 inch diameter target with half was black and upper white and had to hit the white to knock the target over and 80yds the 177 knocked it over and another target at 70 yds with 20 + mph Cross wind I aimed 2 inches to the right and down it went and my 2 shooter was our group was totally amazed that I knocked it down !!!
I'll be calling Ben about starting the Ultimate F T match here in Ohio. If you're in Ohio, Go to Facebook at Wyandot County Airgunner/ Wyandot County Coon Hunters Association. We are in north west Ohio!!!
I think I may have just ended up with an off sized breech seal. My other P70 done up by AZ shoots 840fps with 10.3 for 16 ftlb and has for its entire life. But you may be right about being just over stressing the design.Rifle was designed to shoot 7.5 joules (5.6 fpe). Yours having been modified to shoot 12 fpe may be why you‘re blowing out the seal.
Thanks. Will do. This was my first time out with it I've been waiting to do this. I'm looking forward too seeing accuracy as well at longer distances.Looks like a lot of power to me thanks for the great video keep us informed on groups and distances your getting with it.
Believe some are arriving this week.....Got ya. Wasnt sure so thought id ask
I haven't found any that fit this old Beeman Blue Ribbon yet.Try a set from another scope. I put caps from a Gamo scope I got for 0$ on an early Hakko scope and they looked much better to me.
If your burst disc has failed , your tank will not hold any air. If you have pressure in the tank , there are other issues.Ok thanks I’ll try that.
