As far as I know, Wes is the sole North American dealer with the Max 1

Good of you guys to take the time to type it out….thanks

A BIG Thanks to all the sponsors that donated to the Nationals and support the Grand Prix s ,with few events paying prize money you can see the people who really enjoy this sport aren’t in it to get rich, the only account that has gone up since airgun ing is the amount of great people I’ve met, but it’s the donations from the sponsors wether as prizes or as auction items we need to thank them by supporting them as they support us and our sport.

My dad has a corner fence post (yes, an actual fence post, lol) that was there when he bought the place. The fella he bought the place from said it was there as long as he could remember. Dad bought the place in 1970’ish. That post is still there, doing its job. And you still can’t drive a steeple in it.

A whole my life I was a metric guy, I can work inches but as pure numbers only.
My scopes are MOA, just because the target rings are MOA. Otherwise I don't care, I like high quality glass and simple reticle.

try it without the moderator if you can. I put a Donnyfl fatboy on my wildcat .22 and used the 177/22 insert and was not good, changed to the 22/25 insert and all is well.

I wondered about the Fatboy. I had a Sumo I pulled off my Panthera to try and found it to be clipping but only after maybe 12 rounds. I wondered if the Fatboy and interchangeable caliber inserts may be a good fix for that as I am using it with none and it has a little bark to it.

I just hate having a new gun and not being able to shoot it really gets to me! After receiving the rifle I had no way to fill it with my compressor . However I still had my scuba tank which has set 5 years low on air but still had a little left. Out of frustration I give it a try and got about 1400 lb pressure. Barley into the green. First off was to sight in and to my surprise it was dead on at 12 yards. This is the first gun in memory that I had to stiffen up the trigger. I do have a fill adapter coming which should all me to use a Foster fitting. But for now I’m enjoying shooting the great gun ! Charles

the Chaser Bandit pistols have the ability to be customizes but the custom parts are not there, hell the parts for the pistols aren't there the seller have dropped the ball and the custom parts business like in the hay day of 2240 builds are not there but with invagination you can work with what you have
so some comments
the safety on all these pistols needs to be opened up and grease added
all these pistols old version have 2 trigger screws and the rear one will do nothing and with the front one need to be replaced with 8 to 12mm screws i use grub screws with spring bearing ball noses you can find on Ebay
the Buck Rail grip give you chance to work new grips on the pistol but also you can use a Phantom AR-15 to 1911 adapter and have a complete new world of grip choices

the trigger i did a write up in 2019, i have 6 Chaser and many parts and pieces

so it is a good platform

The wind has been howling for the past week 30-40mph so today it calmed down a bit (20+ variable). I brought my pellet trap in for a shorter shot range (40yards) and sent a magazine (28) shots into a shoot n see. The 4 corners were 5 shots and the middle was 8. The hole outside the group on the left was an accidental trigger squeeze.

I do feel that the molecular sieve air driers used on some hand pumps - like the Hill "Drypac" units - can work very well, but they are subject to rapid degradation of the media from the moisture in the ambient air. The fact that they don't have indicating beads in them makes it worse - I think most people waste money with these if they are not taking steps to extend the life of the media. When I used to use one I would take the filter off the pump and store it in a ziploc bag between uses to extend the life some.

The drypack refills now come with a package of indicating beads which you are supposed to put on top of the media. I noticed it when looking into Hill pumps.

Pretty is right! Especially when that baby is slinging Altaros slugs out to 100 yards.

Michael, wonderful shooting in windy conditions and excellent video!

AGR is a top notch vendor and one of the few who will call you up and talk to you, in fact, talk so long that your ear hurts but you want to stay on because you are learning things you did not know .

I 3D printed this for my Maverick. Works really well!

Great shot and nice pics!

Did you have a problem with your V3?

It'll be interesting to see how many show up this month to brave the heat. I'm going to fill my CamelBak full with ice hoping that'll keep me cooler.

The groups started to open up and I don't have time to pull the barrel and give it a really good cleaning.....Pull through helped, but after 15 or so shots the group opened up again....So Tigger it will be....

I see the one is keeping an eye out for you.

That would be usefull for back yard garden shooting to keep the noise down instead of ringing metal.

Not to worry. My mistake for not being clearer in my initial post.

Awesome my friend. Thanks for being there for me . Glad to know we are almost past October, and I get another try to absolve myself.

You should have a nicely knitted Afghan throw to keep you warm by then

Yes....that's why I say THE regulator. Both gauges read the same pressure after an overnight rest.

Understood.

Ohhh that snow peak model. Looks a lot like a zelos. Man that gun is perfect for me but it is literally out of stock everywhere.

Click to expand...

They are essentially the same gun, SAP makes them, SnowPeak distributes them outside the USA, Umarex distributes them inside the USA.

The Zelos has a 50mm longer barrel.

Your groups will tighten up as you learn to shoot it. I have an exercise I go through when I haven't shot a springer in a while. I shoot at cans offhanded. Start at twenty yards and work out to 50. It will take a few shooting sessions but offhand shooting is the key. When you shoot off a rest the springer can shoot all over the place. learning to hold it correctly is the key. They are a very accurate rifle but I have found I shoot springers better with open sights than I do scoped.

This is sage advice. This fellow nailed it.

A tin of pellets and a beer can offhand will teach you more than a half million shots off a rest at a target. Then you can take what you've learned back to the bench and shoot buttonholes with it.

You can't worry much about precision or what pellet shoots best until you toss a couple pounds of pellets in the dirt. Plinking offhand you learn the cadence of the recoil and how to offset it with your off hand. You learn the trigger and how to time it. You get sensitive to your lock time and follow through. It's a crash course on your rifle and riflemanship. You learn how to handle the gun and not just shoot it.

Springers are tough to shoot off a rest. And scopes are a constant pain in the backside. I like offhand and sitting with my elbows on my knees. I like bipod and tripods. I can shoot better patterns off a bipod than I can off a bag. Within 50 yards almost as close a pattern with iron sights as a scope.

The biggest obstacle to stacking them is not a steady hold nor a better sighting system. It's about learning to work with the recoil and learning the arc of the pellet. That's what plinking offhand teaches you quick.
