I don't know if this is relevant to you, I did A LOT of playing around this week and the last. I spent all day yesterday and last night playing with different hammer,different pressures getting a velocity at 120 bar, then 130 bar and 140 bar. Every single time. I ended up in the same little tiny groove being absolute peak performance. Accuracy, efficiency, noise, everything. I just went long range at an actual range. This 131-133 bar notch, the tiniest ping and spoot, 912-917fps, and already good groups at 120. Tightened more. AT 100 .69MOA is my best. HP slugs at 30gr edged out zan, vk, and HP 2 30s by a little. But none were reject bad
In fact they were all MOA neighborhood. I shot 6 5 shot groups of each. My worst with HP was 1.233" my best .6876 average was at .8369" nothing was worse than. 1.5"(including the flier). I'm thrilled.

Sounds like yours is good enough to take down any pests at those distance

I bought a refurbished one from PA. I had to add two barrel bands to keep the POI from moving.

It is long and made of plastic and pot metal, but it is lightweight( 6.5lbs)

I think the Hickory NC show has around 100 tables too and it is coming up in a couple weeks.

Prod got a slight boost in power on account of me using the 10shot Maple custom mags. No sense in having a 24 shot tune so it was cut down to 20 with a 1fpe boost:


Just dropping off the reg on the last shot from a 3000psi initial fill so I’ll be cheating a little by filling to 3100.

The neighbor has borrowed the 1701P and has been putting it to good use:

Mine just came in Friday! I was amazed at how well everything was cut. There wasn't any sharp edges! On my set all the holes in the tubing and all the cuts appear to be deburred. I did paint the circles so hopefully I can see them better.

View attachment 505983
The florescent circles are 2" and 1" I'll put the flags on tomorrow when I am at the range.

Hopefully I can hit them at the range at 100 and beyond. And I sure hope none of the yahoos will take shots at it. It's generally pretty good there but once in a while there is someone who thinks he can shoot at your targets. A lot of them have some big azz powder burners.

Thanks for sharing Allen! We cut all of our tubing on a custom rotary cutter. This eliminates any OD burr but more importantly gives perfectly square cuts. Without that, the target spacer stacks would not be able to be snug without binding. This is how we get the bind free buttery smooth action these targets are known for.

Thank you for your support Mike!

Nice! I've been at war with them ever since the first frost hit. I breast them out (and starlings) for my cat to eat whenever I shoot them, but I have to say - the meat on those sparrows is absolutely clean and delicious! Tried a little piece the other day when I seared them for my cat in a pan coated in olive oil, and it tasted like venison.

Never tried cooking them up but I'll take your word for it LOL

Hey man, if you add in the Huma v2 power upgrades and their regulator, that gun has true knock down potential. I honestly think it would go straight through a deer's skull at 50+ yards but have not tested theory. And after you add those upgrades, say you slap on a .30 cal barrel, the slugs are almost going supersonic speeds.....

Click to expand...

Ok, I’ll note that. I’m planning to go with a Western Rattler .457 for the deer hunting, and an MCAR .457 for reach out and ding ‘em. I’ve been looking for the MCAR in the .510 Hunter configuration but can’t find one. Any thoughts?? Thanks.

I've tried deer jerky, the only way I can handle it is DRY, as leave it on the dash of the truck crossing Texas until it's dry dry. Wife ordered some at the N. Grand Canyon Lodge for breakfast, a CHUNK of RARE deer, didn't like the taste. Don't recall trying Elk, or I may have shied away from it because of the deer.

Almost ready to start getting it dialed in. FX Impact M4 Sniper .30. I am still waiting on a few more parts for it. Donnyfl Emporer moderator, grip and AirMatksman Loki rail. Still need to buy a chronograph. So what great advice does everyone have for me?

Nice looking gun congrats

The range finder point does. Not match your cross hair point, so you still have to press the button a 2nd time to lock the ballistic calculated aim point. If only they made an adjustable range finder mount to make the two aim points match.

Thank you!

You should be able to screw the fill fitting into the adapter that allows you to use a foster QD, then attach that to your cylinder to fill.
It should look something like this part

Steve , I purchased 3 Trigger Sticks , short & tall bipods & the tall tripod . I use them for most all my shooting save for across the car hood . Nice Mrod. I like my F&T .22.

Click to expand...

Thanks - I should have had Airgun Revisions fabricate the aluminum air tube to match the length of the F&T tube - I like the look and it would've given me a few more shots. Live & learn they say.

I toke apart my MK2 so many times for any kind of mods and upgrades I can do it now with closed eyes... basically that is not an MK2 anymore but somewhere M3.5 ?
My take on it.... I know that the 6.0-6.5 mm is a ballpark (only) instruction for new mechanics, the stack up tolerance is the important and must be in front of eyes.
I know that if your C1 is sticking out longer (9mm instead of 6.5mm) the Valve Adjaster knob shall be backed out longer for about same amount (Valve Spring longer for a same amount again) ... So the Valve tuning won't happen let say between 2nd and 3rd line but about 6th line.
All these assuming the Valve poppet sitting properly (cross check the Rear Power Block). But then the Valve Adjuster knob will hit the air tank... so this operation needs some improvising.
This what I would do on my gun without any extra excitements and loosing time chasing tales, but again I cannot advise you if this is your first luve with the FX Plenum and Valve....

In preparation of next weekends hunt. I let my son who will be using the uragan get some trigger time. And I’ll be using my R5. Targets we about 1/2 in with one being 1 in. There was gusty cross wind. Range 26yds.
Red was with the hw30. And blue was adjusting the scope on the R5 the rest were actual shots. Not great but not bad for sitting cross legged with elbows. My kid did better with the .30 than I did.
The R5 is the super long and holycrap that thing is quiet. Shooting poly mags at 800ish and it’s crazy. The ping in the ear sucks but 5ft away it’s barely noticeable and the muzzle blast is very minimal.

Holy smokes reading this thread gave me a headache …lol nap time until my trailers are ready. I will say if you are already wanting a bottle conversion etc I would just send it back and buy an avenge x bottle gun. Spend the coin up front.

Nice hunt, shooting and pic! The one on the far left looks like it has bot fly larva, or had some tough fights!

It looks like rub marks up close, think its from going in a tight hole in a tree, there's wear around the base of its tail also which is usually a good indication of a den squirrel instead of one that lives in a leaf nest.

BurneyCA Dennis said:

I’m wondering if the two squirrels I shot in the head at 3500 feet would be any more dead if I shot them at 1100 feet elevation.

Click to expand...

Unfortunately no. They would not be more dead.

But... if you missed them 1/2" high at 1100 feet because your dope was developed at 3500 they would certainly be less dead.

Generally speaking the squirrels you hit will tend to be more dead than the ones you miss. You'll hit a lot more if you know your trajectory and how altitude affects it.

The "dead" part stays the same at any altitude. It's the "hit" part that's different.

Yes look (I think) under the toolbox tab.
You should get a popup like so:

In the white box you can fill in the ranges you want displayed on the tape. Mind you manually need to add a space between the numbers you fill in there

Ok didnt know there was a PC version of Chairgun. That might be useful in other ways also. Maybe getting cured from my Excel addiction

Hey guys

anyone know where i can find the big 3'x4' rmac benchrest targets by chance? been looking around on the great internet and cant seem to find them. I want to start practicing and love the big targets. Any help would be awesome

Click to expand...

New England Airgun made some because they had trouble getting them too... https://www.newenglandairguns.com/search/neag+benchrest/

Hello everyone,

I recently purchased a new 1.6L Air Tank with a Dual Gauge. The gauge that shows the “gun fill” is located 180 degrees from the outlet hose. As you can see from the photo the outlet hose points down so I needed to have the Bottle raised enough so that the hose would clear. I built this “Air Tank Rack” out of some hard wood that I had. I used some wide stretch material to securely hold the Tank in place but would also allow the Tank to be removed if needed. Now I can refill a gun and keep an eye on the Fill Gauge very easy and I don't have to worry about the Tank moving around.

Time with your boy and getting out in nature can create priceless memories.

Thanks so much, ordered o-rings off amazon and they work just fine
