Like most shipping I think it’s mostly by weight. You can add pellets and see the change. I haven’t figured out the limits as I normally order up to the first shipping price change, which comes to about $140 worth of pellets and slugs plus shipping which has been $54 to me.

Assuming you’re using the Tuxing, can you tell me how long youve used it and a little about why you like it? Seems easier to get than the Yong Heng so i may go that direction.

I can tell you that unless you are a machinist or engineer don't get the Tuxing. I'm both, all the problems were repairable. Right now my choice would be the CS4. It's still running. The TXEDT032 I've had to rebuild and repair several times. The tuxing people are useless. I purchased replacement heads on Amazon from Tuxing official store twice and got different parts each time. Not actual high pressure heads like ordered but ended up with 1 complete Yong Heng cylinder assembly and 1 just the head. They tried to tell me it's the new design (lie) runs hot and doesn't have the right number of piston rings compared to authentic tuxing. Got tired of dealing with them and ordered a second compressor as a parts manual and to confirm design change. Guess what it came with the exact same parts I have on mine. Arrived with a broken gauge packed so well that eggs would have made it to my office (they installed a bad gauge and sent it anyway). I really liked the Tuxing little box compressors but they have lost control of their manufacturing. I would not buy anything from them. Both sets of heads going back and the compressor. I'm remachining my original head to fix the check valve in the high pressure head. While I had the Yong Heng assembly I had a chance to look at it. The Yong Heng high pressure check valves are much better but the high pressure cylinder does not have enough cooling channels (likely why it ran hot when installed on the Tuxing and why people say they run hot).

If you want service buy the CX4 either from the official store or the Omega version from AOA (that's what I have, 250w not 350 from GX, works great). They are 4 stage rather than 2 stage of the Tuxing double cylinder. The Tuxing double cylinder is basically Yong Heng 2 stages separated into 2 cylinders.

Best of luck on the compressor purchase. My most reliable compressor so far has been the Altaros Booster (had 2), they are just slow and require an air compressor.

Much appreciated. Got a 3-12 as well that I wouldn’t mind replacing, but looks like the Alpex only ranges down to 10m.

Thank you. Have you found that cooler or cold air has much effect on trajectory

i never weighted it but sounds about right. the moderator i built adds a little more weight but makes it a 24fpe 14.3gr smacker that’s quieter than my crosman 1322 fitted with the buckrail moderator.

@Firewalker cant wait to see what that .25 barrel swap does for you! younger brother zelos might get jealous.

Mine does the exact same . Straight after building. My hotsnot3dprints bottle band holds everything nicely .

Maybe keep your reports on your new Gauntlet SL coming? I heard Rick Eutsler speak about this revised model very enthusiastically when he first tested one, saying something like "they did a whole lot more to this gun than just adding a side lever." It sounded like the revisions to the SL model were quite positive in the overall performance & capabilities of the gun.

Pyramyd Air. It’s an Air Arms OEM spring.

My tank is an expired fireman's tank, a Scott. It has no visible damage to the carbon fiber and I use it with confidence. I am very convinced that it will leak if it ever fails. I see zero risk it will explode.

If I ever have a fire in my home I will have lots more to worry about of more significance than my air tank. I have a propane line in the crawl space made of soft copper. If it gets damaged the fire would get a lot worse. I have a car with a gas tank, a generator with it's small tank, and a pressure washer with a tank in the garage. That gasoline would really feed a fire and soft "rubber" gas lines would not take much heat to let loose. My house is wood framed so it will burn and the furnishings have lots of synthetic material in them which will give off dangerous fumes. My only reasonable course of action will be to get out, call the fire department, and hope that insurance takes care of at least most of the loss. Stated another way, I'd rather have an air tank let loose than a gas tank or propane line.

Very good points. If a fire gets so bad as to heat a tank fast enough so that the burst disk won't work you have bigger problems and should be far away long before that happens.

I presently have a FX Sniper MkIII 2022 model, and I love it but its
a little long and heavy for squirrel hunting. Thinking of buying the new wildcat BT. My dealer of many years retired and closed shop. Any suggestions on where to buy a new rifle and get support to go along with it?

Thank you.

I have bought from Ken Hicks at (SPAW) who BTW advertises on here. He ships fast and threw in a couple goodies like QD foster along with the factory one. The gun runs flawless. Great choice BTW. I'm waiting on the same gun but tube version in .22 compact

I ended up going with Sportsmatch high adjustable rings. I am happy with the setup.

Thanks. I looked at Gamo arrow but some people complained about all plastic receiver. I didn't look at urban because I thought it's an older model. I will take a look. I do have a gamo whisper fusion mach 1 .22 which is solid build but so heavy that I don't want to use it.

WorriedMan · Aug 17, 2024

The eBay Tuxing Double Filter ad notes safety valve is a replacement for the older style burst disc and will self-purge when it reaches pressure pre-set by manufacturer. Seems they've decided to set pressure release @ 4000 psi despite 4500 rating. WM

@Hal4son He discussed the “striking first blood” portion more in the comments section. I’m not even sure how that would go. If it’s not on film I don’t know how you’d prove where your shot hit.

The long range shot portion was funny as hell. He presented a number of things for me to consider as I mostly hunt alone these days. I was thinking that perhaps there are courteous people on public lands, but many people seem to say there are some territorial folks there as well. Hopefully I don’t encounter that much.

I had a young man claim a goose he missed that I cleanly folded after it got by him. When he ran out and claimed it I congratulated him on his shooting and let him have it.

I've never had to deal with it when it comes to deer and elk. I generally don't like being around people and avoid areas that are overcrowded. Cover is thick around here. Elk that are well hit don't normally result in a foot race to put the tag on it.

Knowing how to use irons is the key to, well, using irons......... You obviously got a handle on it.
I shoot quite a bit with optics, but for relaxation and not fussing about, irons are where it is at.
I shot quite a bit of NRA Service Rifle, High Power, and Palma in the past, and was lucky enough to occasionally be squadded with some sharp cookies. Once I was comfortable enough to ask educated questions, I got the condensed Master Class.
I watched the Capt. of the US Palma team on the 800 yd line, cold bore, cut a 10 with his first sighter. Granted, the wind took him out to the edge of the 9 ring, but I was still floored. That was essentially a cold bore torso hit at 800 with iron sights! Incredible skill that fellow possessed.
I remember that fellow every time I bring my post into the 6 O'clock position, and I still hear him saying there is no substitute for practice. Shoot, shoot a lot, and shoot at range.

Well done Mc.
That display brought up some pleasant memories!

Tanks.. I just use standard 6 o'clock target hold ..

Oh are there different pistons? Interesting I assumed all the AMP brass pistons were the same. Figures though lol.

When they first started putting brass pistons in the Maverick the were too long. So with your adjustment screw flush , max , you couldn't get the pressure up to where it should be . It was around 120 bar max on mine . Gave many owners fits . FX knew the exact issue and sent me some plastic ones that were the correct length.

I wish my P35-25 was a P35-25X. I increased the plenum size with the Xtreme plenum but the P35X is still over double what I have, I think. It also has a longer barrel. I think the P35 is fine in 177 or even 22 but I cannot get heavy 25 caliber pellets up over 800 fps. I bet the P35X can.

These pellets seem to have a "cult following". I have looked into them and they're very well made. They are not discussed because most folks refuse to believe that they can do better than JSB.

I can,t say there better than JSB, but there not that far behind, & much cheaper at there normal price. JSB are
in a class by there self, but you pay for it.
