I generally will leave my guns set for a couple hours before putting them in the safe, because I live in Florida its usually much hotter outside, so I let them cool off before marking the pressure on a piece of blue tape and sticking it on the rifle to monitor for any leaks. In my case leaks are not common.

The prices argument is a tough one to swallow as numbers lie and liars use numbers.

JSB .22 Monster Redesign 25gr - $24.99 for 350
JTS .25 25gr - $9.99 for 150 = $23.31 for 350

.25 pellets are actually cheaper than .22 pellets - see how I did that.

This is only if you get JSB, as FX 25.39 are $21.99 and it also depends on where you get it from, but on average, .22 is cheaper than .25

Nice! It will get tighter in the future

Where do you get magazines like that? I have no trouble with the Factory Magazine on my Avenge X. I only shoot 25 cal right now, but I have a 22 Barrel kit I may try over the winter.

Fun. And have done this myself with a child that age & size BUT really think safety 1st should be number one. Sure it will be a while before the child is coking their own springer but (IMO) never show a child the wrong way to do something esp. starting out.

I just confirmed with Taipan and was told that all these last OG Veterans are CZ unchoked barrels!

I used to fly RC precision aerobatics, and I would be the only one who showed up at the field on nasty wind and weather days. Guess who out of our group took the trophies home. It was allways crazy wind at the contests, especially Pensacola.

If your hobby is things that fly through the air (airplanes, pellets, sailboats, kites etc.) it makes sense to learn the wind. Or at least crash (or miss) a few trying to learn it.

It's windy where I live. I shoot every day unless it's really bad. You learn to deal with it. My hits go way down in the wind but I can bend them in there pretty good. If I can't hit it at 50 in the wind I just move it up to 35 and keep on shooting. Every hit is a celebration. Every miss a lesson.

Not my thing, but very nicely made and innovative. Kudos

We had snow fly the other day. I have to pick up my ground targets. My hanging targets have to be painted from white to yellow or pink. I like light colours so you can see where you hit the spinner. I really enjoy winter shooting. Crow
I forgot to mention, with short days in the winter I do a lot of night shooting. 20,000 lumins lites up the snow like day. And all around is pitch black and usually no wind.

Pressure on regulator should be above the optimal for the strength of the spring of the hammer.

Thanks Emu I'll do this settings.

Nice rig...how's the donny work? I bet the tatsu would save you even more weight

Click to expand...

probably would save a little weight but I like the cool factor too lol, and it might be an inch or so shorter. Another thing about the fat boy it comes with 4 adaptors/inserts for .177, .22, .25, and .30 so you can swap it to other guns if you like/need too.

Never fear moving forward we all will be better equipped to be foolish and buy those expensive guns

Centercut said:

Yeah, lucky for me I won that gold Epoch in the raffle at EBR 2023, then used that gun to win at the Oregon EFT GP and EBR and was given the orange EVO. So the gold Epoch in .30 is my bench gun and the orange EVO in .25 is my EFT gun…

Now THAT is what I call hard work paying off!

I have a separate bank account set up at my bank that I use for Paypal. I only transfer enough into it to cover any Paypal transactions. If I receive money I transfer it to my bank.
I've been using Paypal for several years and have yet to have an issue. Matter of fact, they got my money back for me once when I got burned on an internet purchase.
Yep, I have heard horror stories from others but that has not been my experience. I don't have any experience with any other online money transfer apps.

I just lost $10 to a guy that claimed all 3 of my first class envelopes containing orings went missing and filed claim.

I almost stopped selling orings due to that douchin baggan.

Thanks for the guidance, I will.



I got the email too, it must be only the brands in the email. I tried it with the JSBs and it did not work. They have Crossman, Walther, Umarex and Benjamin

Many add Pyramyd's holiday "percentage off" deals to, "Buy 3, Get One Free," for ammo purchases. Haven't heard of specific ammo singled out for percentage off deal, must be something new. Free ammo will always be least expensive of the four in, "Buy 3, Get One Free." WM

There's a D460 .22 4 sale in classifieds for $300. I can knock bottle caps off fence posts @ 50 yards with my Motorhead tuned D460. It'll take out a jack rabbit at that distance, plenty of thump for your hunting purposes. Mine likes the 14gr FTTs.

I know Edgun has it for $300, any other alternatives or ebay recommendations?

Click to expand...

If you’re going for a carbon fiber tank just go all the way and get the 470cc that’s sized for the L2. Edgun West and Edgun.shop should both have it. For Black Friday last year they had it for $220

Why am I not surprised.?
Lots of problems with stiffness of the AO but not a single account of having talked with Hawke about it

Click to expand...

May fault for not opening and testing them faster (might not have to pay return shipping) but have my 3rd (three of them so far) AIRMAX 4-12x40 AO which does not work. 1st could NOT turn the A/o, second was OVERLY tight but could be turned however the focus was from around 70 to 300 yards. 3rd was just normal Hawke stiff (like the original SR6 for FT) and the glass was really good how ever after less than 100 shots in a few short sessions sighting it in trying to adjust from 4x up the IT would NOT turn.
Yes Hawke is great about warranty replacement but on this scope sending it back in is now getting very close to the original cost of the scope. I do intend to call this time to ask if they might actually pull a scope from the box 1st and se if to works. And I will post back about it.
Esp. on these bottom of the line scopes (which do seem to have nice glass) at some point it is not worth sending in for warranty replacement.

I did like both the original SR6 and SR12 scopes and should have kept the SR12.

That plug reminds me of the time I plugged a 2500w space heater into the switched outlet on the back of my clock radio/alarm clock.
Boy oh boy did I wake up in a hurry

haven't yet to see a 2.5kw space heater, most are 1.5kw max, either way that clock wasn't designed to handle such loads.

Really hard to beat Weihrauch quality.

You should be ok. just set it and forget it.

Last days I have been choosing which PCP will be taken on the 7th of December to the first deer hunting of the year.

I wanted to install a regulator on my Evanix Windy City .357 Cal, and therefore I ordered a bottle regulator for Brocock from Huma and to be sent at 170 bar.

After some work I have it dully installed and with no leaks.

The rifle is very accurate and gives near to 15 exact shots at 752 fps. That's about 100 fpe with JSB Hades. I would like to have 850 fps, but no way. Maybe the plenum is too small.

My other .357 PCP rifle is a Jager. This one is shooting the JSB Hades at 908 fps. Perfect. But only gives 3 reliable shots.

Another topic is that after a hunting session, the Evanix does not need to be fired. The Jager needs to be fired.

I am of the idea, up to now, that I will bring with me the Evanix.

In .30 Cal I made a super combination: Sidewinder + .357 suppressor, plus a prismatic sight. The Sidewinder is shooting the JSB Hades 44.5 are 1000 fps, that means 100 fpe. The sight makes it to be light weight and easy to aim quickly.

I am also thinking about to take with me the Vulcan 3 700 mm .25 Cal. That one is giving 77 fpe with NSA 33.9 slugs.

Many thinking, many shots and many practice in order to feel comfortable.

And then:

Yesterday I went with my son to the shooting range in order to confirm that my 30-06 and his .243 are dully zeroed at 220 yards.

The power of the firearms is other science. With just 6 shots and shooting up to 350 yards, we are super confident that the rifles are just as we want them to be.

I don't recognize what StyleFree uses but EdinGA came up with an idea for a bipod mount I used before I made my custom stocks. He used a 34mm scope accessory ring to add a picatinny. I had to sand a groove in the ring so it would fit into the limited space between the air tube and the shroud but that only took a few minutes. I also had to add a few layers of tape to the inside of the ring so it fit the air tube. The resulting picatinny rail is nice and solid. The groove for clearance doesn't really show. You have to be careful to get it oriented right to avoid introducing cant.

That's a great option to consider. Thanks. My first choice would be to purchase a cylinder mount already made if possible. Failing that, I appreciate your excellent ideas.

This thread has nothing to do with air gunning and is being locked.
