Sorry, came out wrong. Meant go find the guy who took his stuff and get it back.
Nice shot on the squirrel at that distance. Shame about getting the gun stole.

Nightforce with the mill c reticle is money in my opinion.

I got my 100bb magazine in, Wow super fast shipping , Cant try it out as I have the gun loaned out to my inlaws and daughter about 30 miles from me.

The Minnesota Air Field Target Assn. will be holding its October match next Saturday the 12th at Oakdale Gun Club. Arrival time is 09:00. After setup and a short safety meeting the match will commence. Weather forecast looks good and I hope to see you there. Uj

Thanks. I might give it a try.

From the muzzle. I started at max and came down. Mine didn't fall off till till the second mark from the muzzle end and was significantly easier to cock. If you're not seeing any increase with additional hammer spring tension it's just wasted air.

I'm starting to get packed up and head over a few days early. Looks like a great weekend for us!!!!
Thx
Dan

Daystate made a custom fit gun case for their Wolverine Sapphire BUT failed to provide adequate protection to prevent shifting - resulting in a loss of a $3200. Airgun, because it rode on the muzzle end with less than 1” of closed cell foam in front. That wore through quickly and the first ape to drop it nose down deformed the shroud and ooooh well. So as nice as a hard case is to prevent side wall damage the gun must be packed to prevent either end from shifting - they have to be secured in the middle.

Those Daystate and Brocock custom-fitted Styrofoam-lined boxes INSIDE A WELL-FITTING SECOND CARDBOARD SLEEVE are the best-bang-for-the-buck factory packaging I've seen. Unfortunately the less than 1” of closed cell foam in front of the muzzle is the weak link. And apparently the more incompetent the shipping-company delivery-driver, the better his (or her) nose becomes for sniffing out weak links in packaging.

I've received air pistols damaged in shipping that were shipped in FOAM-LINED HARD-PLASTIC GUN CASES inside a cardboard box sleeve that the muzzle blew right through the end of ALL that packaging when an ape dropped it end-first onto pavement. Yes, the seller is a lawyer. And yes, when I attempted to educate him how to properly package to avoid damage he cut me off with proclamations about how well he packages. He then put the pistol inside a soft-cloth sleeve inside the otherwise would've-been-adequate-packaging; thereby rendering the otherwise would've-been-adequate-packaging totally ineffective.

When I have the correct Daystate or Brocock packaging for a gun I'm shipping, I use it... but always reinforce the weak link enough to make it no longer a weak link (that apes can smell as easily as they can burning cannibis).

I have a Sidewinder and an Air max on springers. Thousands of shots. Not 1 problem. I like the Sidewinder best. Holds POI and is repeatable.

I have had three.
I sold one and gave one to son#1.
I will keep this one:

Ain't that the truth?

I would prefer a pcp version but I like the concept in loading bb's in this vs loading a take out magazine.

My 2nd Crown comes today first crown was a Gen. 1.5 in .25 shot well added a high flow fitting to the barrel and a Huma reg gen 3. New crown is .177 600 mm had to get it before I couldn’t greta to read everyone’s feed back and tune settings in .177 I’ll keep ya posted.

Thanks I'm in Southern California high desert. Was thinking a 22lr within 50 yards but figured a airgun would be alot safer with some neighbors close by probably 500 yards .
Didn't even think of arrows didn't know some air rifles could shoot them

Click to expand...

I wouldn't use a .22lr on a coyote, note I haven't shot a coyote...yet. BUT if you absolutely want to drill it through the head a .17 HMR will leave a heck of a mark easily at 125 yards. Not as much fun as a air gun though but way cheaper.

Mine shoots better the slugs.

Accuracy of my Wolverne HP non regulated with pellets is far away of my Vulcan 3 700 .30 Cal.

75/25 SIL to NFO would be a good combo
Making up a fluid ounce should nearly last a life time

Thank you for the info.

I shoot 30 caliber hybrids at 1054fps our a 28inch tj barrel. I idea of accuracy is rugged hole 5 Shor groups at 100 yards. I've not been able to get the hybrid to do that at 900 and 980fps. Your idea of accuracy and mine may be different. I have a 700mm 1in22 twist liner in 30 caliber for my impact.

What every is the most accurate. Period

Thinking about getting this gun in this caliber. Would you say it shoots .25 pellets as easily as it shoots .25 slugs out of the same barrel? Thank you!

Which do you think is the best deal on those rifles you mentioned that bullet Central currently has?

I was also looking at the mark 3's they currently have, what do you think?

Genob said:

I have way too many Notos rifles and still it continues to grow, lol. I do keep one completely stock for base line comparison. I do provide feedbacks to companies and encourage them to incorporate some of this mods for safety, ergonomics and performance. I have mutual NDA's with 4 different companies. No I'm not going to get rich out of this, but I also learn and enjoy this hubby immensely.

I like the pistols.
I would turn one into a pistol if I could do it.
But I definitely do not have the skills to shorten barrels and tubes.

OK, we have a REALLY fun event planned for our match Saturday, October 12th so be sure to closely read the following.

The mad scientists in Tulsa have broken out the old chemistry set and cooked something special for Halloween. It will be FUN!

Costumes are welcome. No, "Field Target Shooter" is not a costume. (At least bring a mask as photos will be taken)- but not required.

Here’s the plan:

Field Target Golf Style.
We have 30 targets on 15 lanes, one shot per target and you MUST drop the target or die trying (max 4 shots per target) so a perfect score will be 30, Max score will be 120.
It's the low score that wins this one here folks!
Scorecards will record the number of shots to drop each near and far target. X's & 0's will not be used.
The Standing and kneeling lanes will have larger KZ’s this month (Praise the Lord). Bring extra pellets (unless, of course, you think you're somethin' special) – Air tanks will be provided for our “out-of-town” friends. If you need more than a tank of air, (and the bad head gasket can be replaced) a compressor will be on site to refill tanks for $5 per fill. (thank you Dave and Mark)

With match temperatures in the 70s and 80s, we are looking forward to perfect match weather.

TREATS WILL BE SERVED!! NO TRICKS!

Lanes will be open after the match for practice/revenge on the targets that kicked your buttons.

Range opens at 8:00, Practice range opens at 8:30, shooters' meeting at 9:15, Match starts at 9:30 sharp.

AAFTA rules do NOT apply, we will have a 30-120 shot match on 15 lanes with standing and kneeling lanes.

Entry fee is $10 - $0 for first time shooters.

Eye protection is required by the club - there WILL be lead shot landing on us from the sporting clays range - but we are not allowed to return fire.

Bug spray is never a bad idea, but we will have extra if needed.

P.S. Mark Welker has Heart surgery coming up soon so send your prayers and good vibes!


Tulsa Gun Club is at 8888 Mohawk Blvd.

Exit at 56th street North and go East if coming Via Hwy 75.

Search Google maps for a pin on “Tulsa gun club eagle ops rally point” and that puts you at our meeting spot.


For the Tulsa crew,

Curtis “Boris” Nelson

Are you sure it's a pellet gun? Looks really similar to a cheap air soft rifle I remember from back in the day

Thanks my friend, the intention was to focus just on the image quality but ended up talking about other stuff, great little scope
