yeah for ten bucks if figured why not it looked like it had a little age to her

1050 FPS with the power wheel at 7...

I have found that for me, dependin on the rifle between 2.4 and 2.9 is perfect. On my U2 700mm with an arken sh4 4-16x50 2.83 is perfect using a discovery single piece 20moa mount. It also allows me to shoot out to alteast 300yds with no problem, and by that I mean dialing my turrets to that distance and still have more elevation adjustment.

All of the simple systems use large assumptions and simplified equations to calculate twist rates. The Greenhill formula was one of the first and is one of the least accurate. The Miller formula and later additions again make sweeping assumptions about the physical construction of the projectile and the aerodynamics. The Berger bullets method is based on the modified Miller formula. I do not know what the Strelok program uses, but the program does not have sufficient data input for an accurate calculation, such as the projectiles CG position, moments of inertia or aerodynamic moments coefficient.

The most accurate of the approximate methods is probably the Kolbe calculator, which is based on Bob McCall's McGyro equations. However, these equations again are based on the assumption of a solid uniform shot with no base or nose cavities, which are not very common with slugs. No methods work for pellets, which require a lot more pain to calculate.

Oh wow. Thank you for the details. Will definitely look into getting out there.

I forgot to mention:

The club dues are $25.00 per year.
$5.00 for your spouse or significant other.
Note: There are monthly socials where free food and drink are provided so the membership fee is basically a wash..

If I were there.... Hannah Barron. I am a fan of cute redneck girls.

As far as guns... A non-bullpup Taipan would be cool. A $1200 Skout would be super cool. Air Arms producing more power would be very cool.

Smokin hot AND can shoot.

In my GX CS4-i, the discharge from the bleed valve is water with a bit of white grease from the grease cup. The only time I've experienced a black discharge from a compressor was when an o-ring in my Shoebox disintegrated. That was messy!

Do you have an external filter between your CS4-i and your tank? If so, the filter may provide more information on the black discharge.

I have just the CS4 not the i version. I do not have an external filter, I will be purchasing one soon. I do keep the bottle higher than the compressor to help water getting into the bottle.

I did figure that the greasy feeling in the water was from the grease cup lubrication.

Interesting guns, what era are those, 50-60s?

Challenger Arms Company started production in 1947 not sure what year they stopped.

Mi Crown desarrolló un problema con el ajustador delantero. Las roscas internas se aflojaron y la alineación de los puertos internos ya no coincidía con la etiqueta de la rueda de ajuste. Desmonté y realineé las piezas; luego funcionó correctamente.

¿Algún vídeo o tutorial que muestre cómo ajustar la rueda delantera? Se lo agradecería.

itsmejjla said:

Understood, but this is to center the rangefinder correct? NOT the red laser dot to zero with the crosshairs. Does anyone know how to sync the red laser (push & hold menu toggles on/off) with already zeroed crosshairs?

Click to expand...

Correct. I presume you adjust the red laser dot with the hex wrenches provided and the two hex screws on the laser pointer. I have not yet done this, thus my reason for presuming. I don't know why else they would include the tiny allen keys in the package if not for this purpose.

Last year I posted about the Vought, you can search for that if you want.

Basically the Vought is for a UK sub 12lb market only. The Remington name has been sold to an unknown, probably Chinese, entity. The Vought and the JTS Stealthhawk seem to be twins, like the M30b or c and the 250Z seem to be twins. Seems like I remember both Barra and JTS saying they aren't SPA snowpeak copies, but I'm not sure how that can be correct.

The 250z is available and probably your best bet. Real M30's are now pricey and seem to be sold only overseas. JTS never released the Stealthhawk. I heard FX sued or had issue with some other air around the barrel makers, even though the DRS came out around 5 years after the M30's. F FX, I hope that makes sense. So we are both up in the air if the Vought will ever leave the UK, but it looks like it won't.

If the Stealthhawk never makes it to market, and the funds somehow appear, I'll get the Barra, probably used, and try to shoot FT with it

I now have my set up , and selling some extra bottles I have on the classifieds here plus pics.
I don't think any of these air compressors could blow up one of these tanks just not strong enough.
I'm only talking about the 4,500 compressors. My Vevor quit working just trying to fill a .5L bottle only made it to 3000.

Rarely does a ground squirrel escape the fine accuracy delivered from my old .22 FN19 single-shot. In over three decades of use this rifle has accounted for the demise of literally thousands of various vermin. There may be modern rifles that are as accurate as my FN19..., but few that are more accurate.

Click to expand...

Not only accurate... but beautiful, light, and DURABLE ...
Very fine airguns... I never understood why they weren't more popular...
We have an FN19 Raptor and an FN12 Hawk that could be in the last few to go if that were ever necessary...

I'mguessing you mean a change was made when they went from oil to no oil in the crankcase?

I looked at every picture i could find online of the current dry sump compressors, even ones advertised for sale, and they were all over the place, but the majority were blowing in.

I'm wondering if it matters???

Click to expand...

Yes, it matters. The cylinder itself has been revised over the years. Some have holes in the side, some have the bottom of the cylinder open. Others have intake holes from behind the cylinder head. Cs3 has changed as well over time.

The cs2 and cs3, and the cs4 use a roller bearings, they do not need oil that has to be changed all the time.

.30 or .35 would be best

Click to expand...

.30 works well but the 22 gets it done also ive seen them out on the ok waterway well working a few times now just not when i had a gun with me and able to shoot .

humbled.ag said:

You need to start by adjusting the sensitivity settings, then make sure it's reading for the correct speed window. Stability is also very important when firing .177, and sort of shake or wiggle of the barrel when the gun is firing will cause it to not pick up the round when entering the radar cone(narrow end at the unit). I use these almost every day at work and have experienced this issue with my .177 guns, regardless of power plant.

Thanks for the info!

It seems there might be a difference between the FFP and SFP for the Element Helix?
I don't own one but see them being used a lot on YT and figured I would check into them when I found some people say the FFP version might be a little blurry?
I'm just wondering if anyone here has first hand into on the 6-24x50 FFP?

Click to expand...

just bought one 6x 24 x 50 gen 2 its Alot of scope for the price solid turrets tracking is excellent only issue i have is in low lite
would be nice if it had ir option for the crosshairs but for the price you cannot beat it.
i also just made a major jump in glass and went to the Element Theos 6-36 X 56
i have astigmatism that acts up so better glass helps tremendous amount similar like red dot vs green.
so the gen2 is for sale.

We used to do this with 17 cal at 10M when shooting offhand. Sometimes irons, sometimes scopes. Gotta touch that trigger at the perfect point in time - or else.

I think we would all agree that any shooting is fun shooting!

The plugs were just to keep put dirt .

Hill, 3.5 years running and one service plus a o ring. Year round use. No problem indoors.

Yong heng, 2 rebuilds, a spare one in the crate, fair weather / part time use only, vibration that most women only dreamt about.

Hill, for me was money well spent, it's already paid for itself.
Warm inside all winter, shooting, not waiting for parts from china, missus and the neighbours can chat whilst hill is running.

A easy, peaceful life for me is worth the extra few bucks.

I love the app, however, a more current list of airgun projectiles is badly needed. Many of the manufacturers lists are missing calibers, a few manufactures of very popular pellets and slugs are missing, while others are simply missing some of their offerings, some are missing entire caliber lines.. are there any talks of updating the database or other features in the app itself?

Picture?

Click to expand...

3 Pics are now posted. Thanks

Just got one in 22.cal 600mm. It came shooting JSB's at 858fps, JSB 15.89 Hades at 904fps for about 60 shots. I had seen a video or 2 where they came from the factory shooting JSB 18'as at 915fps, which I knew wouldn't be 60 shots. t's a hair more power than I wanted, so I may tune it down next week. I am impressed with its weight though. Very light and easy to handle. I may buy another one when the carbon fiber airtime comes out. The bigger plenum will definitely bump up the shots per fill.
