Yeah 25 cal, Keith fits his own barrels. Nice to have a lathe.

Aaand another one for you… 70y, 1-2mph winds with 3.7mph gusts as per my weather station…

Hi Tom, like you I am used to a wide open view as well. However, once you’re seated at the bench you adapted to shooting through the bunker window. The concrete benches are sturdy and solid which easily adapted to both right and left hand shooters. Everyone I met was very friendly and welcoming to me to their range. The lady on bench 14 was a lefty and shot very well. By the way Happy Birthday Sharon and thanks for the cupcakes!

Thanks Tim. Yeah, they looked like a good bunch. Best wishes this week at PAC.

thanks for your replies.

it is not as cheap as suggested, because the part contains the whole fill port / airtank endcap section and costs about 100€ (i am in the EU zone).

If you're referring to my response, I never said yours would be cheap as I'm not familiar with that equipment. I said IF it's like MOST airguns. Guess it's not. Hope you have good luck repairing.

Always been curious, what kind of power do you get out of that hatsan platform in 177 ? Good accuracy?

Click to expand...

with the H&N pellet on the low side of 660fps @20yrd to the high end of 965fps @ 50yrds it stays within a critters head.

With the Weihrauch HW100 you've made a great choice for your first PCP! I have had a pair of them (.177 & .22) for many years. The 200 bar cylinder is reasonable to hand pump and you'll get 30-35 shots on a fill as 30ish fpe.

I'd recommend cleaning the barrel, checking the hardware (normal procedure ) and just shooting it for a couple of tins. The 18 gr JSBs are a good choice and typically shoot well. Don't worry about tuning unless you can't find a good pellet.

AGS (Air Gun Source) out of Peterborough is another place to get pellets. Travis is a great guy to deal with!

Cheers!

The gun is only putting out about 50ft lbs so good shot placement is critical I haven't been able to find one even though it looks like a good kill thru the scope.... go figure

Yeah, I have shot them with my Zelos .22 cal, I can't tell if it is actually penetrating or just blowing them up. Guys, make sure that when you have a 30+cal gun that you hit them in the vitals, they might not die.

Most accurate bullet I ever used in my 357 Texan was a Hornady 9mm 147 gr boat tail XTP. Lot of work to get there. Extremely violent and fast expansion in water jugs over 125 yards, and in the couple critters I shot messing with my apple trees 80+ yards out, one big coon, one big groundhog. I posted long ago about it here: https://www.airgunnation.com/thread...-slugs-in-some-big-bores.1280677/post-1391030

That came out of the compressor. I don’t have the filter YET so I am pumping whatever that crap is into my gun and bottle. The gun comes apart on a regular basis but I won’t take the bottle apart. Most of the water separates out but not all of it.

Mine is unregged but my max velocity peaks around 160-170 bar

Thank you I’ll give it a good go I just need the weather to play its part now

They are always out of stock, but I haven't seen any videos or reviews of the Mora in 30 cal. Does anyone on here one? If so, what do you think about it?

Hy-scores seldom need repair usually just add motor oil and cycle action a few times.

Walmart has them for 6.98/500

Those are most likely made in Spain. See the original post. The American made pellets are no longer in production so they are coveted.

Stock up or shut up.

Thank's for the info. I will remember to blow the check valve out with air next time. Old age is catching up with me!

I was refilling my Caiman X yesterday and used my CS2 because my bottle was getting a bit low. The Caiman X stores 285cc of air at up to 300 bar. My bottle was under 250 bar. So I fired up the CS2 and, while I waited, made myself a toasted English Muffin as a snack. By the time I had my muffin toasted and buttered the gun was at about 280 bar and I called it good enough. Another good way to spend the time is to fill a magazine or two. Doesn't really take that long.

Sorry it is 650, but better than 970 new. Probably a good call if you want a target rifle.

Off topic.

Had the Daystar out hunting ground squirrels again today. Walked off my property at about 9:30 and home about 1:30. Only found seven squirrels today but the Daystar continues to impress and put them all down first shot! Long shot was 55yds and a few in the mid-40s range.

My old Falcon FN19 has more character, but 'she's' going to see a lot less days in the field as I am really enjoying the Daystar!

WOW" how do you pump it up"? What kinda pursuer"

Click to expand...

Here is a picture of the pump. It is similar to a bicycle pump, but makes much higher pressure.

The tank would screw on one end, and there is a part in the case that attaches to the opposite side to stand on. There's also wood handles that would attach to the end with the tank to use to push/pull the pump up and down.

I've been using 700 psi in the tank. Which should be similar to what the original pump would produce.

It's hit and miss on which ones work. Nice effort though.

@Cheplicki I thought that looked familiar.

UTG : https://www.pyramydair.com/product/utg-universal-dovetail-to-picatinny-weaver-adapter?a=7311

I did use the stop pin, no deforming of hole, Gamo steel is actually soda cans lol

The trigger block is under the holes(not a blind hole), so move it down until it touches and back up some. Purple loctite 222 will keep it in place.

It slides on as one piece, so there is no canting of the pic adapter(no removable side plates).

I was shooting my Pinty Pup last month & I heard air escaping. Then it would not take a fill. I contacted Pinty about sending me another poppet & valve if they had any. They said they don't carry those parts & sent me out a new rifle. So far so good. My replacement is holding air fine & very accurate. In the new rifle they also included among the spare o'rings & silicone grease a new poppet & valve spring.

Life and times in the food chain.
