I built my 2300 T with an odd delusion I could use it for field target. Hahaha ya never mind .
After shooting my pistols I had to take out my TX200 and put five in one hole just to see it happen.

Ah, fun! Thanks for the warning. I'm considering a sponge filter at the ends to restrain any passage of said particles. Maybe a coffee filter...
What do you think?

Thank you that was a great help keep up the good life

Great shooting Keith! Welcome to Pro Division! I was in Relay 2 and followed Keith on the same benches for cards 1 (bench 40) and 2 (bench 20). That bench where he shot the 242-12x at 75 yards was not an easy bench location right next to the berm with left to right winds... I shot 241 and 242, but Keith put a whoopin' on me in the finals (223). I had two flyers like Keith did in the 75-yard card 2 (targets 22 and 24), but unfortunately mine were in the finals...

Good grief, does it cook breakfast and answer the phone?

how much time are ya saving? and is it worth it? I would rather do a full air dump after each fill cycle.
I actually dump the air before I shut my compressor off, as I let it run a bit before I hit the off switch
my coltri does not have auto off,,, I stay vigilant during fills,,, gun direct or bottle fill

and as far as smaller size desiccant to fill more void, increases the air velocity so it spends less time in contact with the desiccant, so it is less effective

these are my opinions

I just try to top off my 3 bottles at the same time so I only have to wait for the dryer and separator to fill up one time. I also only air down to 2k on the separator/dryier, The guns get instant air when I fill from the bottles. So no wait time there.

maybe a single gun /gunrack with a door on it ? #1 bit of protection from dust and rust . #2 out of sight .
you said porch "enclosed " screens ? , windows /walls ?

That's kind of what I was asking.

This is my bet, grab any assortment of out of the box new Marauder rifles and see what the tune settings are and you will likely find no specific settings. The .25 is tuned from the factory for 16 shots at around 40 to 44 fpe from 3000 to 2000 psi. The reason is that there is likely variation in the spring rates from batch to batch and who ever set the rifle up and did the test shots.

Here are the "alleged" factory settings, YRMV:




For posterity, for those who have a new M-Rod, before adjusting anything shoot the rifle over a darn chronograph please. Guessing does not work. If you do not have a chronograph leave the rifle alone until you do. Then run the hammer tension full in and the same with the striker and transfer screws carefully counting the turns. Now you will know the factory settings for your rifle. Gen 1, Gen 2, no matter, they are mechanically the same for practical purposes of tuning.

Let me interpret the data above for y'all for the .25 caliber rifle. Hammer Tension 5 turns in from minimum, Hammer Stroke 4 turns in from fully seated, Transfer Screw 4 turns in from fully out of path. And BTW, the one M-Rod .25 I purchased (NIB) was not set as above and I have no idea where the card is I recorded the data on as it is no matter to me now. The reason it matters not, well, I have Hammer gap, not Hammer tension, I have my Hammer Striker recessed or face flush to Hammer to facilitate free flight gap with a usefully long spring, Transfer Screw, bah, humbug! I ain't got no stinking Transfer Screw to adjust, what is the point of going up to .161 or larger porting if going to choke it with the TP screw?

There have been a number of threads regarding M-Rod "factory" settings. If they are important to you, why did you not record the settings before undoing what was done by the factory? I guess I am confused because if the initial settings were not good enough such that you decided to mess with them, why go back to what you were not satisfied with?

Not for me. I bought it brand new. It arrived with a stripped screw head in the cocking linkage. A part in the valve bent and damaged the block in the first month requiring RMA. I barely shot it prior to that. Once it returned I got serious and shot it daily doing the 30 yard challenge. I battled shifting POI. If it was used for a hunting rifle 50y and in it would have been fine, but target shooting was unacceptable. The triggers are Hunter not target level imo. The cocking lever bar had a sharp edge and would cut the pad of my thumb if i rested it there while I cocked the rifle.

The POI shift was enough for me to sell it. I sold it to a guy that intended to use it for iguana control on his property. The rifle would be perfectly well suited for that.

This was my second bullpup with a bottle. I discover for my use I don’t like that. Just a personal thing. For my primary use, benchrest shooting and pest control I prefer a rifle with a cylinder.

Some people love theirs and I’m glad they have a rifle that works for them, it just wasn’t for me. It was a summer of frustration. FX has gone away from the double regulator also. I’d honestly buy a 3rd P35 or Bullshark before I’d buy a Maverick.

It’s unfortunate i got the rifle i did. My first pcp was a FX Royale 400 that was a great rifle. It gave me confidence to buy another FX. There are a lot of great options out there.

Just my 2 cents. The BRK Ghost is a good option if you want to ever swap calibers. If you arent worried about that there are other great rifles. If i wanted a bottle bullpup in this price tier its hard not to pick an AGT Uragan or Vulcan.

appreciate all the info and it makes complete sense. I'll definitely be going down another rabbit hole of bullpups with cylinders.
My Huntsman is a cylinder (XL) and i do not really mind the more frequent filling. When i am "in the field" i don't really shoot too many shots
And i forgot about the iguanas over there... i definitely do NOT want another invasive pest, but hunting iguanas sounds like a good time. lol

Thanks Paul, I guess I missed this post. I will 'flag' a moderator and ask them to move it to BR forum.

We sure miss having you shoot with us at Desoto but glad to see you are still shooting up north!

Sorry this is as clear as I can get the screen shot to be

Mine is currently atop my Pathfinder and serving quite well. Out to 60+ yards small pests are in peril. The lens coatings are fine, no scratches or delaminating. I run the “honeycomb” filter on the objective, no rear cap. Like I mentioned I would buy it again. Am currently in my backyard looking through it at 6x with the IR on. Daylight visible, no blooming… My Pathfinder has worn, three different scopes: Aztec Emerald, Athlon Helos and the WHT Westhunter… The sweet, small but capable form factor is just right. My second Atomic XR is currently sporting a red dot sight. At some close future point am putting another WHT 3-12x44 on it. On my longer range Ghost Carbine XR I will tolerate a longer, bigger scope. But have learned through experiences afield not to over scope and heavy up little guns… I don’t have practical uses for scopes that are almost half the length of the rifle they sit on…

Does anyone know if there is an upgrade kit available for the Reximex RPA .22? Thanks in advance for the help.

Hmmm... Ya. That would be nicer ..lol
Then you may as well stick to older style I'd guess .. I guess it's a individual preference thing on best way overall.

let's see, when i have degassed the current set-up, i'll check if it is possible to insert the brass valve from the no-fill bottle adapter to the new one with the fill port. then, i will also try to grind down the lower part of the foster valve, so it has the right clearance for actual un-screwing of the bottle. all in all, so far this is the most annoying aspect of the gun for me.

The Huma version doubles the surface area of the valve. It also refreshes nearly instantly. Very little to no creep. I rebuild the Amp regs weekly. The sentiment that they are too small is correct. Mostly in diameter than depth. A few more mm and thicker Belville washers would make a world of difference. And a more durable valve and face.

I'm curious how many people are using full magnification on scopes shooting 25yds and under? You turn the magnification down from max and it gets better. I'd say average airgunner scope is what 6-24? I can't imagine using 24x at 25yds let alone 10yds. To each their own of course but seems excessive.

What some air gunners are looking for myself included is a scope that can be used up close when plinking or hunting, sometimes at 10 yards I’ll practice lighting match heads , on another day I’ll want to shoot Speed Silhouette and after that shoot 50 and 100 yard EBR. Then someone may challenge you to who can hit a golf ball at even longer distances. Quite often these scenarios are common when I’m at the range and I want a 1 rifle 1 scope solution especially when I’m traveling away from home and don’t have the luxury of having a truckload of my favorites at hand. Right now I’ve found 2 quality solutions that I like ,
the first is going with a Sightron S6 5-30X56 ED FFP ZERO STOP ( https://sightron.com/collections/s6-series-1/products/s6-5-30x56-ed-ffp)
The second is the Nightforce NX8 - 4-32X50mm F1 - ZeroStop - .1 Mil-Radian - DigIllum - PTL - Mil-XT ( https://www.nightforceoptics.com/riflescopes/nx8/nx8-4-32x50-f1/ )

With the military discount both of these are reachable for my shooting budget, with a roughly $300 difference to my first choice the NX8. I just have to decide on the reticle, I’m currently leaning towards the Mil XT but looking at the Horus tremor 3 &5 are interesting but they also bring up the cost. I’ll probably place my order in the next week or so, even though I probably have a half dozen unused scopes that would suffice in my reloading room but as my late father told me “you can’t take it with you” I think I’ve made up my mind,

Nice group! and nice safari. I like the sporter type rifles too.

Here's a fun way to use modeling clay. One side is iron. But is you turn around the stand, on the opposite side they are filled with modeling clay. For a different effect.

Thanks Guy's.

Thanks sir!

In my experience firmware updates can be problematic when you are way behind on updates. You may need to install an earlier firmware update to get the latest revision to work properly.

Nice in theory but the issue is they need a new venue that can accommodate more entrants. I think they limit the entrants for EBR to 160 as there are 40 benches and all 4 days are full up with activities so not really feasible to increase the number of participants without a larger place to shoot.
Thx

Come on Pellet Shop. Give us old farts that don't do IG or FB a chance at entering next time. I've never been on neither and never will. It might give me an excuse to order something from y'all, until then, nota.. sorry.
