I put the rear sight on hastily to take the pics. It should be mounted further forward!

Ha, I started to say something about that in my last post...that sight position on the close-coupled Tyro butt woulda punched me right in the eye! R1lover's notes are exactly right though, it's easy to ding the finish with the sight if you aren't careful.

Good mod!
I'm a fan of the Anderson plugs, much better connection then the clips. Installing the plug to the back of the truck would be more convenient for filling.

I just looked at one & it appears there's NO bipod rail, picatinny, dovetail or other on underside. You might have to mount your own 3 or 4" rail below. Let me know if I'm wrong. Reach out to other DRS owners here & see what they've done.

I think the only option would be a Picatinny rail adapter

I just received my Gamo extractor it took 11 days. It arrived in perfect condition. Plus a piston seal as well.

Some optics can do it and some can't. Even the ones that will move the picture and keep the reticle centered have their limitations. You can look into a EagleVision mounts which gives you manual adjustability - this is about the best to help keep your reticle centered.

I've never owned and ATN, but know those who have. They have had mixed reviews. I would check out DNT Optics - my NV from them moves the images. Also the newer Pard scope format does that.

I highly recommend the loading gate, optic mount, and rear picatinny mount form

Mee too. What is a depinger ? My zelos seems to make a lot of metallic noise at gun when shooting. Is that pinging ?

Check out my reply to babz

Scope covers in storage only. If you're using it just be prepared to wipe or blow it off.

I replaced my range finder and binoculars with Bushnell’s FusionX 10x40. They’re very clear, bright, spot-on accurate. I chose the FusionX because it was a great product at an excellent price. Although it ranges to one mile, my needs are under 100 yards so it works great. Sage rats don’t have a chance now. My kill ratio has increased dramatically and the amount of missed shots has been reduced significantly.

Cool ranging binos! Awesome pic of the huge ghog you anchored! Really nice shot

Love my Notos but externally adjustable would be cool. Am I the only one that LOVES the flat cocking lever?

I've wondered if someone with more skills than me could solder or epoxy on a replacement stage-length tab...and maybe even drill/tap it for a little adjuster screw?

A piece that holds an adjustment screw could easily be sweated on.
That means soldered for some who might not know.
Would it still fit inside the stock? Might have to be relieved a bit.
You will lose a portion of the safety factor the first stage provides. What model does this trigger fit? What stock in particular?

I watched the first video. Had trouble keeping my eyes on the scope.

I see what you mean now.

If we study my chart some we can see my initial trajectory apex is probably right around 23 yards; but extends to approximately 32 yards. I could rezero the scope to the middle of the apex say 26/27 yards and reshoot, to minimize holdovers but in my case it’s not that critical since I have hard holdover values I have validated.
Good fun when you are kinda snowed in.

That is an awesome range!

Has anyone used the odb advantage target pro system ?

The Crosman Silhouette is probably what you are looking for. Comes without rear sight but can be fitted with scope for silhouette or rear sight for 10 meter.

Given no power-source or budget parameters in the OP, I agree that the Crosman Silhouette (often called by its model number 1701P), would be the best choice. Or maybe I should say "an AWESOME choice".

Manny25 · Jan 22, 2025

My dad had one when they came out in .25 and it shot really good at distance for a 25 back then for being pre slug era. Anyone still enjoying one?

Mike_Lenardon · Jan 24, 2025

For 280 bucks you can get a better gun.

@AirNGasman You are the leading expert in this field, and the go-to for inspiration and knowledge. Could you give us a quick list of what would be needed in a pcp pistol to compete under the current silhouette rules and criteria for max power to possibly knock down a 1/2 scale or even 1/5 scale?

@noremaximus Just an observation in the airgun building world, though the GK1 is a bit "expensive" under your above listed criteria, by the time you build something to fit your needs you'd probably have just as much into it as if you'd have invested in a GK1 and outfitted it with a good accurate optic.

Looks like my second post in this thread, that apparently came a minute after yours AH, probably answers your question(s).

However, what Zack wants to do doesn't follow silhouette rules. It will take a very powerful PCP pistol to consistently knock down 1/2 scale pigs at 50 yards (per his post). However that isn't the case with 1/5 scale silhouettes.

I'll now take this opportunity to apologize to Zack. The 1/2 scale pigs are not as large (so also HEAVY) as I thought they are, but it will nevertheless take something of GK-1 ilk for your purposes.

Zack, I'm attaching a copy of my TEXtreme Field Target Pistol rules for interest/reference sake, Bud; as you sound like someone who might appreciate Pistol Extreme Field Target.

Happy Shooting,
Ron

if you look closely at the barra vs jts in the shot show videos, they are actually a little bit different.. I think more pelenium in the jts just from gauge spacing.. but I don't know if that's better or not.. more pelenium might be more power but it could also be less shots..
Mark

Since stating that .. JTS has dropped there version all together.

Adam · May 18, 2025

Well thar she is. It's been raining all day so haven't really tested any. I only have about 35 meters out my back door to shoot, so I don't know if it will show any difference at distance in 9mm. I hope to get one of the Sub MOA barrels in .25 with the faster twist rate for heavier slugs. I would love to have it set at 130fpe with the 9mm Hades and just drop in a .25 kit and keep the same reg/power settings and sling the 45gn slugs at 1050 or whatever. Will try to get out sometime, maybe next weekend where I can stretch it out and get some long distance data.

What is the best moderator for fx impact?

What caliber what barrel length, what power level? I have an fx donny, a ronin, and a yokozuna.

Hands down buy a yokozuna. Silence is my hangup I'm running 700mm 22 at 74 fpe with a tensioned barrel without a shroud and 1 baffle off the yokozuna for harmonic tuning reasons and it's quiet. The yokozuna or Ryu would be the only one I buy for my other fx gun. When I say quiet, I don't want to attract attention sorta quiet.

I have the 1st and 3rd one. I like the 3rd the best. I got it to work in the app over WiFi, won’t work with iOS so you need an android. The problem is iOS will disconnect automatically if there is not “data” connection. Once using it in android I wast able to copy/paste the data. It will suddenly disappear also, oh and it only tracks 20 shots. It will purge the oldest. I found the app data useless, just use pen and paper or like I do and open excel on an iPad and use a Bluetooth number pad to quickly record.

I have the original labradar and the new LX, and I still find these cheap chronographs very useful for tuning a rifle. I’ve tested them against each other. The velocity might be off by as much as 30fps, but shot to shot they have consistently mirrored each other. So if one shot on the lab is 5fps slower than another he previous shot, the Chinese will also record 5 fps slower

Didn’t know about Wi-Fi. It’s also the one I now use. Did go outside and used the black one for ease of setup.
don’t think I’ll ever use the second one . It does work though and provides all the info . I mean $18 for someone that doesn’t want to spend more .
