Prices on the new DNT TNC335R and TNC635R speculations?

A
No problem. Digital optics can be a bit confusing when trying to imagine how they might work for you in a particular situation. The key thing to keep in mind is magnifications higher than the base mag are accomplished digitally. This means that the image being seen by the sensor will be cropped, then scaled to fit the eyepiece lcd. This degrades the quality/resolution of the image since a smaller portion of the image sensor is being used for the display. For the sake of discussion, let’s compare the tnc335r vs the tnc635r based simply on their specs. If you look at their specs, the digital night/day and display systems are the same, so the main difference is the thermal band. The 335r has a 384x288 sensor with a base mag of 2.5x while the 635r has a 640x512 sensor with a base mag of 1.5x. The 635r will have a wider field of view at its base mag compared To the 335r, but the perceived quality/resolution of its displayed image won’t be much different than the 335r at its base mag. Imaging looking at your TV, the 635r would be like seeing the entire screen while the 335r would be like seeing a cropped portion of the screen. The detail or density of pixels per unit area of the cropped portion is the same as the none cropped, you just cant see as much of the screen (field of view). The real downside of digital magnification is seen when we begin zooming the image from the 635r. When we zoom the 635r a single step to 2.25x we effectively reduce its sensor resolution to 426x341. If a 2.5x digital zoom setting was available on the 635r we would have a sensor resolution of 384x307, which would be fairly equivalent to the 335r at its 2.5x base mag. It can thus be concluded that the real gain from the more expensive offering lies in its wider field of view at its base magnification. To determine if this would be of great value to you, it depends on what you wish to use the optic for. I would say if you are night hunting at distances of 20 yards and in, the added field of view from the 635r would be extremely beneficial, if not required. If you are mainly taking shots at critters beyond 50 yards, the benefit of the 635r‘s wider fov at its base mag begins to loose its value.

N/A  RESULTS Central Pa Springer Airgun Match

Funny you brought that up. I have had about 12 to 15 inquiries from readers on this forum that are about a half to 2 hours away. Several said they were coming. Not one has ever shown up. That's disappointing on many levels . But as they say, It is what it is.There is a lot of shared knowledge at our matches but I guess they are not interested.

Half hour drive would be easy. It would be fun shooting indoors with springer guys.

If I could do it over

Bedrock Bob
If I could do it all over again I would have started sooner and shot more often.

I've been shooting almost every day since I was 5 so there is not much I would have done differently.

I suppose I've wasted a lot of good shooting time sleeping and eating and listening to contractors whine. Fixing broken sh!t and doing my taxes. Standing in line to get my drivers license. Fishing with a worm when they are biting on minnows. The usual stuff that robs your time and can spoil your shooting schedule.

New rifle Altaros M24 TCS

Altaros said:
but even higher velocity , or number of shots per fill can be increased and even retrospectively on already sold models, it is just not in our power to introduce everything at once. The new stock is also backwards compatible with older M24s.

This is exciting to hear! I'm also a fan of the new chassis, I didn't mean to imply I wasn't. When you get around to introducing something to increase power and shot count it will definitely be worth revisiting. In my experience so far, I'd want to see between 905 and 955 fps with the 40 gr Kings, for around 18 shots. I know most people are looking for 12 shots... but I regularly shoot PRS matches with 15 to 18 round stages. Nationals this year actually had a 20 round stage. In an extreme situation like that you could get by with a few shots off the reg (probably). But less than 15 will be leaving points on the floor too often.

Power limit in airguns in its non-FAC version...

cahil_2 said:
That chart says Michigan has a restriction, but I live there and there i no restrictions other than for big game hunting it must be above .35 cal.

Look into that much deeper. Although there is no "power restriction" there are fps and caliber restrictions (last time I checked) which do parallel each other...

most accurate pellet design ?

Twiceshy
Thanks for all the reply's . Based off them I bought some domed 10.5 grain .177 Crossman pellets . I relize not the best brand , but they are the only domed pellets at the local store . I washed ,weighed , and lubed (with silicon spray) . Counted out 10 and gave them a shot , with much better results . Only 1 flyer , the rest on paper . That makes me fell better about ordering online some quality pellets . Thanks again !

I’ve had one for years. Quite a fine piece in my opinion. Once you get your hold down it is very accurate. Little bit heavy but well worth the effort.Hope it works well for you.👍😉
Click to expand...
it shoots very good, and the scope is good actually wasn't expecting to see chp 14g go 830- 845 fps
this is a Suprise one pump and pretty accurate at 30 yds
yes, it's a little heavy and long but its nicer than i expected has an adjustable trigger too this is pretty cool its a keeper.

Umarex  NOTOS : SCOPE & FPE QUESTION

Firewalker
mattboyer30 said:
Dang thanks so much for the summary. I'll work with that approach. I'd definitely gotten the reg out of whack. I did read the CW / CCW rule on the site I got the new block from, at the moment I'm still with the stock reg that requires degassing, taking the tank apart, reg pulled out & adjust. I had no idea about the 1/16 turn increment, I'd watched some mod videos and 1/8 turn increment was the suggestion but I did 1/4 because I hadn't learned the "less is more" concept with airguns at that point lol. Learning that one the hard way now. But knowing me, I'll probably still want to degas & reduce the reg a little more before then like was suggested by SB237, just for learning purposes. If 1/16 turn is all that it takes for any kind of change, very good chance it's too wide open due to my guessing where it was at prior to disassembly.
The hammer spring, how would you measure the PSI it's set at? I could locate a tool that measures spring tension somewhere if need be, unless there's a different method to find where that PSI is at currently?
Last question for now...before I took it all apart, it was zeroed right around the middle of the elv/wnd turret adjustments' extents...good bit of leeway for adjusting in either direction. Now, it takes the windage being cranked all the way to the right-end stop before it's centered L/R with where boresight is. I took the back rail back off & re-seated it with no luck. Something got off somehow & not sure what's causing it. As an aside, does the POI change with the angle down that you're shooting? I'd have the zero set just right when level with the target around 40yds, but then go up to the second floor from the window in the house....and with crosshairs at the bull, hits about an inch below. I can't see a powder bullet having that kind of discrepancy, unless pellets are something else? Same distance, same POA, higher shot angle, lower POI. I can't figure it out.
I'm learning a ton from everyone on here and once I"m through the beginner screw-ups I know I'll have a much easier time with the fine-tuning & mods...I just hope to build a good foundation of know-how on the basics before I move forward, I'd really like to stick with this hobby, despite its sometimes budget-unfriendly nature HA! Thank you again.

In full transparency: I did not read your whole reply, I need paragraph breaks and spaces to keep track of all those words!

If you destroyed your regulator, FEAR NOT! I have replacements, just PM me and I'll drop one in the mail for you.

Hammer spring are set at the factory, I dont measure them due to the simplicity of just backing it all the way out to flush, shoot, record the speed, turn 1/4 turn and shoot again, repeat until you hit your top speed and back it off 1/4 turn.

Regretfully, this will be right about flush, maybe a full turn in but the gun comes balanced so no gains may be realized and you may just be wasting time and air.

When I ran into this in the beginning, I started porting and adding barrel length, adding bottles and getting rid of the onboard regulator.
