Definitely a must ! Great glass and a no brainer at these prices.

Loosen gauge..

Hello,
I'm looking at getting the 25cal for EFT. I just like a traditional looking rifle. I'm curious if anyone has shot the 33.95s out of one and at what speeds and shot count. It will only be shooting pellets for eft and was looking at the 600mm length. I would probably add the bigger plenum if needed. I usually like to shot the jsb mk2 around 900-930 or so. Or just get a dynamic
Thanks
Jon

My 0.177 caliber FX Impact M3 tuned to </= 12 FPE, stayed in the van last night with a low of 30°F.

The indoor range was 65°F, it took me 45 minutes to set up. Gun temperature at first shot was 52°F (average of 3 readings at different locations).

Bottle/1st Reg/2nd Reg Bar pressure was 195/160/90. Normal first shot is 200/120/70 respectively.

Checked my plenum pressure dope and increased the Mico 3 clicks as required.

First shot (no sighters) was a 100, on an ARA Pro Target, indoors at 20 yards.

The first 5 shots were all in the 100 ring. Before the 6th shot I reduced the Micro 3 clicks.

After 25 shots (no sighters) the BAR pressures were 200/120/70.

Bottle pressure increased due to temperature increasing.

Plenum pressure decreased due shot count.

It appears, once the plenum pressure dropped to 70 Bar the air volume/pressure between the regulators was all I was using.

I didn't think there was that much volume between the regulators.

The Air valve/Macro/Micro settings are 3/1/1.5 respectively. I haven't checked velocity in a while.

Thanks. I don’t have near the experience most you have. I’ve been brushing the springs lightly.
I don’t have that grease, next order l’ll get some.
I just put another TbT spring in an Ann. HW50. Same procedure, lightly brush on. Hope to shoot today. See what happens.
‘Again I appreciate your suggestion. Crow

Appreciate your sharing this post! Just the best bunch of folks.
How many have heard David's original 101 F.T. excuse list? Mentioned during site in I made the mistake of asking on the course. Poor breathing and tears rolling down you face whilst grinning takes a toll on your score. Or so I said that day. Try it sometime.

Awesome DS Griffin! Don't these sport the Harper Sling a shot valving? Had that in a Regal I previously owned, almost shoot like they are regulated, wonderful flat string! Beautiful, enjoy shooting it!

Thank you

Beautiful rifle!!! Shoot the sh@t out of it!!!

Better than daystate pulsar?

Click to expand...

No experience with the Pulsar, but I expect the shooting experience would be similar to the Red Wolf. Mechanical vs electronic rifles is a difficult comparison. I prefer a good mechanical trigger, and I'd rather not be at the mercy of electronics. That said, my RW is as accurate as any rifle I've owned, and it's been trouble free. I just like simple stuff, and I expect that I'll sell it at some point. Whether it's "better" is really subjective. These are high quality rifles, so it gets down to preference.

Yeah I got a 6-24 genesis as well. I have 3 now. They are great glass especially at that sale price.

I have several RPB barrels. Never had to polish one of them to shoot polymags. Those barrel come with a mirror bore to begin with.

When l first started field target hunter, l used a 4-12 Vantage. 12x was the max at the time. It worked well for me. Don

I ordered an FX Impact M4 with a .25 caliber, 600mm barrel today and bought some AEA 30.2gr slugs. What speed and pressure (in bar) should I tune it to for accurate shooting at 100 yards or more? Occasionally, I’ll also shoot in my backyard at around 35 yards. What distance should I zero my scope for optimal performance? thank you

Click to expand...

you won't know how accurate it is until you shoot it, try 880fps to start with and go up 20fps at a time to see if there's any improvement to be had. Dial in your scope according to the distance you shoot at, the setting isn't set in stone nor should it be permanent when you would shoot at various distances all the time, unless of course you want to just set it and forget if you preferred to use hold over or hold under to compensate.

Fellow Michigander here. I bought my first airgun from them. Awesome group!

I have noticed that many bench rifle's & even hard core Rail systems use dovetail mounting for optics. There must be something to it vs other systems. I remember Davidson 1/2 x 60 & Kelby,Harrels had rings for em. I even think early RAW has 1/2x60 as I have Harrells & D3 Davidson rings that I use on a RAW. Is it a better way to stay parallel to bore or just simpler to machine.? Seems nowadays it wouldn't matter with advanced machining but I definitely still see em on Rail systems that are very extreme. BR units.

Go to Airgun Revisions, page 4 of the parts section. I have one in my M-Rod .25, they work very well, as in worth the coin!

Click to expand...

I’m interested in getting one of these. How do you actually degas the rifle once this is installed? Thanks!

This is a pretty good video explaining basic tuning for the M4 and also shows some recommended setting Nate got from FX for the various models/calibers:

this smells so much like a bad AI summary some airgun...thing.

I don't need glasses. I can see the E sign. Its just we Americans are not familiar with euros or pound or whatever they used oversea. I just thought all Europe use euros and the E sign stands for euro. Why the hell would the make an E sign for pounds. Should change their sign to P sign lol. Didn't make any sense to me for pound to be an E sign. There is no E in pounds. This is why I hate ordering stuff over sea. May be my last time ordering oversea.

I've been AMERICAN for 72 yrs I only have a HS education, but I know the difference between them
knowledge vs unknowing,,, as for knowing the "why the hell make an E sign for Pounds" comment I don't know or care
but they are SYMBOLS and not the letter E
now you know also, we all make mistakes, it is a learning process,,, I have made more than my share
I've showed you how to make € , EURO
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,---------and a £ , British Pound Sterling
and still ya do the E and P

EDIT: I self edited my comments, I got a little political Cheers

Hi Airgunners !

I clean and lube the pellets and slugs for my PCP’s .

For the springers only wash , dry and shoot .

Wow! That is a beautiful gun.

I’ve ordered huggetts from both krale and airgun heaven. No issues shipping to the US. I would check some of the british sites for parts first. Bagnall and kirkwood, chambers, and airgun spares. They show what parts are available/in stock. Utah orders from fx directly I guess, so they can get more parts, but it took at least 4 weeks to arrive to them. I’ve ordered parts a few times from Utah, and communication was hit or miss.

I'm learning how to tune my new Crown, which I have .177, 22 and 25 barrels for. I've been getting some pretty good results. Nothing earth shaking but pretty decent and accuracy is really good.

I have a question. When tuning and getting pretty good results, I was ok with it. Then while toying with AA 10.3gr pellets, and getting %ES of 1.6 to 2.0 %. Then I starting toying with the hammer adjuster and at #20 with a reg pressure of 112 bar and the xfer set at 117/22, HOLY COW, it shot 22 shots in one hole, with a %ES of 0.69%. I have a Brocock Sniper HR, a Cricket Carbine, a Katran and a BSA R10 and all with keep ES below 10 fps and %ES at 1.0 or less, but nothing this close to perfection.

Anyone else notice that a tiny adjustment results in an amazing difference in stats and accuracy??

Also, the new Garmin chronograph is the bomb for tuning. If you need a new chrono, it's the one to buy for sure.

Sounds like you hit on a really good tune. What velocity were you getting and at what range was the target? The best source for how to tune a Crown when you are trying new pellet weights or calibers is a video by Sub12Airgunners (I will attach below). While Geoff is tuning a Sub12 ft-lb (legal UK limit), the explanation he provides and the process he uses apply well to any air rifle. This is my favorite air gun YouTube channel.

Also you might want to drop down to the Target Shooting Challenge forum here on AGN. The 30yd Challange is now in its 3rd or 4th year with thousands of shooter inputs. EPG does a great job of moderating the forum and he posts monthly leaderboards for .177 and .22 at 30 and 40 yds.

Cheers,
Greg

No worries. You don't need the filter in the test unless you think it's leaking. The idea is to have a baseline that is quick and repeatable so you can check performance sporadically or if you think there is an issue. My manual states 30seconds to 4500 psi (on factory length hose). It was faster when I received it but now with time it's at the 30seconds. If you are filling an air tank and 15 minutes in you think it's not going fast enough the 30second test will at least confirm sealing and function to the end of the factory hose. The filter probably takes 3 or 4 minutes to fill so if you want to establish a base line with the filter, go for it. I have a filter I use if filling tanks and I have it recorded somewhere (or maybe will record it on the next fill).

Well you got me to thinking just what is my average re-fill time for my 186cc AA .22, from about 160 to 250 bar. 56 seconds.
After installation of the Omega Clean Air filter my fill time averaged 2.56 minutes. yes takes a little longer but I think it worth it.
