That's cool! If it ain't broke (anymore) don't replace it.

Cheers,

I've noticed that the gamo magnum has a few tiny roll pins in it and every one of them work there way loose and will fall out if you don't catch it, I haven't shot mine since getting a pcp and probably never will again but moved it the other day and caught another one by the muzzle so thought I'd share, look yours over, push pins back in and add a drop of super glue here and there.

Any length barrel can be accurate.

No doubt. Just not all brands can make it happen. The CZ barrels never seem to disappoint, regardless of length.

You had Thunder remove the bottle, degass the rifle and then tune it without replacing the bottle.

Novel just bloody novel.

Picky, picky, picky.

really, okay so why did it take 1.5 years for them to show up and if they had so many in stock from the product in the states where is the product from China in a year 1.5 you and i could have built thousands of these pistols from parts
you might get the feeling i do not like Gamo and you would be 200% right and why is that, well it is simple
when you have a company in the states that will not sell you a simple part and at the time i had to go to Spain to buy it you have a certain love hate relationship mostly hate
you seem to know the answers here MY QUESTION IS WHO SCREWED UP THE PRODUCTION CHAIN ON A PISTOL THAT SURELY WILL GO DOWN AS THE MOST SOLD GUN EVER MADE
I GUESS WE COULD BLAME DAISY

Will it take the 40grain boat tail slugs? Side note, I used this (studloadingsolutions.com) and did not see it, and I have a .22 impact and kinda want so what's up?

I have 3 zeus converted to smooth bore. And I have a serpent arms 28ga. The serpent arms has probably the worst trigger I've ever used on any kind of anything, it's horrible. You have to pull it so hard there is no way to stay on target. That and the fact they raised the price of the pre-made shells by like 100% was enough for me to never use it again. Right after I bought it they started giving away free compressors with each gun. I would never recommend someone by that serpent arms 28ga. Great materials and idea but that trigger and cocking mechanism are trash.

I can get 3 or 4 shots then need to refill on the zeus. If you're hunting carrying a huge bottle is crazy. Unless you're hunting at your house, from a truck, or a blind near a truck or atv. They are really fun for destroying stuff though. I would never use one for hunting where I had to hike in.

All the big bores are hard to have a lot of fun with unless you have extra air with you.
I would think it would be way easier to use a small slug rifle that gets a lot of shots per fill.

I’m usually plugged into large tanks at the range. Presumably if I went hunting, I shouldn’t need more than a few shots and wouldn’t be carrying tanks

Golf/recreational rangefinders can be very effective below 1-300 yds where most PCP shooting is done. You don't need to spend beaucoup dollars except for balling rights.

The lasering units get wonky and become non-useable in inclement weather (rain, snow, fog, smoke filled air etc).

Anyone have any experience with the 0dB tuner and care to comment?

I'm glad to run across another oldschool crosman pistol hunter. I hope you find something that works well for you.

I am aware that it’s the pilot and not the airplane but curiosity still make me want to see the equipment list. Any place that can be found.

A good general rule, but not an absolute.

Yesterday they finally broke ground on my outbuilding/shop.

I've been waiting three years to get one built. I'll finally have a proper shop/man cave. Unfortunately I temporarily lose my short range (<93 yard) shooting area.

Today I simply changed direction (literally) and shot crushed soda cans with my peep sighted "Baby BB Gun". It's a 177 Hw30.
View attachment 587551
The crushed cans make great reactive targets. They're a little smaller than a hocky puck and they jump backwards when hit. I shot them offhand until I missed them or they hopped somewhere I couldn't see them. Usually about 50 yards. I nearly emptied a full tin of Meisterkuglns today.

It was a real hoot going back to silly random offhand plinking. It was good for my soul. If airguns aren't fun for you anymore I recommend getting back to the simpler side of things.

Be well.

I’ve been shooting off hand all summer, never thought I would enjoy it so much.

That back piece looks to be a weight having to do with barrel harmonics . personally i would not move it , might lose accuracy. end up with a shotgun pattern ?

It’s not a weight. It’s an aluminum adapter for the back of the shroud.

My brother has an M3 (.22 @ 55fpe) and two U2’s (.25 @ 75fpe and .30 @ 110fpe) all are 700mm. Both are equally accurate out to 100 yards and beyond but the AGT wins hands down for hunting purposes. Way more rugged and durable. No worries about poi shift from the accidental bump of the barrel while walking through the woods throwing your poi off by several inches at 100 yards. The Uragan2/3 is an out of the box, hard hitting, accurate, relatively quiet without a mod, slug gun with a solid barrel. It doesn’t require an upgraded grip, hammer weights, pin probe, barrel tensioner or cf sleeve, moderator…..nothing! Why you ask??? Because it already comes from the factory with those upgrades! Good luck with whatever you pick, they’re all going to shoot great with proper ammo.

It is correct that the turret will be limited to 1.75 upward turns beyond the zero stop once the zero stop is engaged. The issue is that the turret itself does not raise to allow the stop to bypass the stop point. There is an intermediate race that allows the pin to rotate an additional turn, then stop. It is limiting, but I can't imagine needing more than a turn from 30 to 100 yards. It should get you to 150. The nice part is that you don't have to worry about crowding the end of the turret range, which can damage internals if done roughly.

Of course, you still have the full range if the zero stop is not engaged. If the need is to have the zero stop closer to the bottom of the range and retain full upward movement to the limit of the mechanical range, I would suggest the 5-30 Continental. It has a zero stop that works in a more traditional method. It also has a pop-up rev counter similar to the Schmidt-Bender, and since it is a 34mm tube, it has even more vertical adjustment to begin with.

Hope this helps.

have you tried loosening your zero stop on the elevation turret? your zero stop might just locked to longer range zero

of you can try mounting a 20moa cantilever scope mount backwards

I have removed the zero stop and it seems to work out for now.

This is the most informative shooting podcast out there. Except when they do a deep dive about re-sizing dies or neck turning. After their RMAC successes, maybe they will start talking about Corbin slug presses. That's reloading talk I can get behind.

A heartfelt 'good luck' to everyone competing this week in Ireland and a special 'go get 'em' to the USA competitors.

I was lucky enough to attend the 2024 Worlds in Mesa, Arizona and if you have never gone to a Worlds, go!! I had never really shot 12 ft-lbs and I still had tons of fun and did a lot better than I thought.

I know everyone up in Ireland had to jump through a maddening number of hoops to attend and Garrett was a huge help to everyone involved.

Day one starts tomorrow (Thursday) am and Ireland is 8 hours ahead of PST (EST +11), so in about 12 hours the match begins!!

Finding right diameter slug/speed for ones barrel (s) is, well, nirvana!

Vana2 · Aug 22, 2025

After trying many, many different target designs, I prefer a target that features vertical and horizontal lines to reference my scope reticle to and a small as possible (and still visible) "donut" as the target.

At 40 yards (my typical testing range) and 24 power on my Element Helix scope I use a .050 inch white space in a .150 inch black circle. I usually have a .500 and/or a 1.00 rings for reference as well.

I shoot at the .050 white target. The aim small, miss small principle works for me.

Cheers!
