For the record, you need to tap the scope rail a few mm to the rear on all BSF rifles, and then you can remove it from the cylinder and take out the trigger block.

@ZekeZX10 That's hunting. How far apart were your stands? How long were your stands?

Click to expand...

Not far, maybe 250 yd spent about 40 minutes in each. I wasn't too concerned I was just enjoying being out there

Is this check valve pump piston uncommon ? Seems to be something that should be a standard mod..

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.

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.

What a beast! keen to see how you get on with it

Thanks for that, but I have just found the Throne bottle connector is M12x1.25 in the block and M12 x 1.00 on the bottle side, so far I can't find anything on AliExpress.

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.

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.

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.

Click to expand...

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...

Is there a simple way to remove the hand grip from this pistol? Appreciate any help. Charles

Curtis and Dave, great match! This was another fun format you concocted for us and what a beautiful day shooting in the woods. And thanks to Rick we have our first elevated target in the flat lands. Thanks, we enjoyed it.

Beautiful airgun!

If you want a Springer for plinking the HW30 is probably the ideal choice!

Done!

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 !

Unfortunately, Pyramyd does not offer a veteran's discount on Air Arms, and there are no Black Friday deals on Air Arms either. Just FYI

It's 35%

@thomasair Oh that’s a nice discount. Thanks for sharing that information.

My question is, are there any rated for 5000 psi (for those filling hubens for example)?

Back to generational changes:

Just came across this and ordered one @. 290.00 shipped.. I have another cheaper one on my other rifle and like it.. Pretty good deal for the price..


This is the one with Japanese ED Glass

Figured I would share.

Thanks

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.

The breach seal might need to be replaced due to it's age but no, as duckfish said it doesn't need to be oiled. Do the tissue test to make sure it's not leaking.
