I have the 600mm, had it shooting H&N 27gr hp @ 970 second reg @135 Max wheel (16) micro I think was 3 and 4 lines on Valve adj.
was getting same accuracy as pellets @65 yards.

I had one and loved it.. It was fun to see how fast you could cycle and shoot. Mine was a Marksman and I’m sure it was somewhere in the later 60’s as I was still a kid. Was Marksman consumed by Crosman?

I attached the original 240 FPS video file to a PM to you. I tried to e-mail it, but the file is 28Mb and wouldn't send. If you play the original video in Quicktime, it displays as slomo and it's such smoother than in the video I posted above. I think because the video above was all 4 clips merged, the average FPS of the video gets averaged and ended up being 60 FPS. What it does show is how much the resolution degrades as you move up in record speed, which makes me wonder if it's true 4K at speeds above 30 FPS?

While I did end up killing 4 squirrels this morning I started off by missing the 1st 4 in a row.. the shots were 35-40 yds offhand and trying to thread pellet thru open spaces in limbs but my offhand shooting isnt what it used to be. I did sort of redeem myself by making a 60 yard shot on a big female fox squirrel sitting out in grassy field by a big hickory cutting a nut..Hit her thru the neck DRT. Gun used was my MKII Crown Continuum .22 w/380 mm barrel and 18 gr JSB, they sure make a pop when they hit a squirrels noggin. I killed the last 3 squirrel in less then 10 minutes, had squirrels running around everywhere for a short time.

Coming from rimfire benchrest competition before any airgun benchrest competition, my first inclination is to fit a rimfire tuner to my airgun barrel. These are well proven, adjustable, and easy to use.

Glad you are safe and your house is intact. Apparently they knew a thing about construction in the late 40's and early 50's.

Well, the sole owner and builder was a wooden boat builder right in Sarasota. I heard from his friends he was an unbelievable craftsman and merchant marine.

Do you have a folding stock on that your "panthera Hunter compact"?
If yes, I think that model was designed for a front bottle... try it first with couple hunting trips, fold the gun in a backpack, and you will see how much room you need to sacrifices to move the bottle to rear.

I think I've decided on Bintac M50 (HP max 22"), I'll print a pump kit once I get a hold on next. regulator kit, it's nearly two times less expensive and I'll have the option to use it on a table w/o a pump kit. The rest is prolly the same quality and considering I can only get Hatsans for the price, I won't be expecting as much as from the Meg.

Ive never heard of that. I would like to see exactly what it is that happens.

Just like a PCP, if there is too much air pressure pumped in, the hammer doesn't have enough energy to open the valve. On my 362, I had left it pumped and loaded for a couple days. When the intended target reappeared, I grabbed it and pumped it 8 times without thinkin. Opened the bolt and realized it was already cocked. When I tried to fire it, just click of the hammer dropping. Cocked it and tried several times. Disassembly of those is easy, just like a Discovery or 1377. The plastic clamshell styles can be a bit tricky. Good luck.

Here are three more cheap air rifles I picked up recently. Crosman 760 Pumpmasters. All three of these shoot as they should. This makes about a dozen Pumpmasters I have now, including a couple new in the box(es).

I'd love to have my Walther LGR trigger in my BM RAW. Bad triggers are no joy for me & just can't keep em around.

Yea I have the huben cricket. I would love to put that on my gauntlet with the 700cc tank.

View attachment 558460

I move things around just to test things out between my various guns. The G30 currently has a non-plenum Cricket and a 700cc bottle. Which is why I was going to do the big plenum setup.

rear mounted bottle stock?

Bedrock Bob · Oct 8, 2024

It's going to be a turd floater. Lots of folks are going to be displaced. I hope it's not as bad as they are predicting.

I bet ol' Jace has his pellet guns stuffed up in the rafters and is on the highway north to the closest high spot. I hope he's o.k.

I don't know how the air tank over barrel thing will work with the "other" company like the panda.

Excellent shooting
You seem to have an endless supply of groundhogs in your area. I purchased a rifle last year specifically for hunting groundhogs that I’ll probably be placing in the classifieds soon since the farmers employees seem to have dispatched all of them. I haven’t seen one of them on the farms in the past two months.

Thank you so much.
I have been taking out a very large amount with each outing for sure. They are hard to track down, as they usually do everything they can to avoid humans. They are also very hard to eliminate. Who would have thought I would be at number 59 after 57 or 58? It's like they have a groundhog copy machine running 24/7!!

This isn't exactly what you are showing, but is a related example to avoid:
It works, but I'm not super happy with my Megaorei, but it is a 720p. It looks like a little security camera mounted in a tube that slips over a small regular scope eyepiece, and connects to a screen that mounts on top, next to an IR illuminator. It looks like this one:

Day & Night Vision Rifle Scope Hunting Sight Infrared 850nm LED IR Camera DIY | eBay

Infrared technology: Increase the range and accuracy. Our high-power 850nm infrared illuminator allows you to easily reset to zero on any target, up to 300+ yards! Applicable gun types: rifle, shotgun, crossbow.

www.ebay.com

What is good is that the IR works and the security camera picks up the IR light even in darkness. What is bad is that the view screen is way to bright on even the lowest setting, totally destroying any night vision my eyes might have, so that I have to wear sunglasses at night to view it. And the dynamic range seems limited, either objects are too bright or too dim to see, so I have to pass my hand over or play with the IR light to get them visible.
In a set location it could be optimized to work reasonably well, like a hide or table to snipe rats at night at specific location, but it isn't a scope for glassing the woods or backyard as one walks around.

Thanks!
Yeah I didn't add that one to the list because it just looked too bulky. It def. has alot going on haha.

@N2Shooter Well you certainly look prepared. Which caliber and gun did you use? What's that that you have rigged up to skin it?

The first time I got a squirrel, I had a difficult time skinning it. This device makes it a piece of cake even for city slickers like me!
