But but, for the same price you could have a silent AF Escape UL in .25, Tammy's old FT rig, maybe a gen 1 gauntlet that actually groups Very well, a modded Maximus and .... .
Hope you can get one, does seem the one actual (except maybe FT) do it all airgun.
Keep us posted when you do get yours.

where did you post the raffle?

I didn’t post anywhere, I thought about posting on the forum but since I was fairly new to the forum I didn’t think anyone would have been interested and might of thought it was a scam. But I mainly asked people around that I knew and my family asked some of their friends.

I bought a Ranger in .22 Cal in late sept, shot a couple hundred rounds before Winter. I aired it up and set it aside, ant i lost over 2500 Psi in just a few months. My JTS on the other hand has still held 3000 PSI since setting it aside for the Winter. The verdict is still out on Stoeger for Me.

Here's what I meant before about the wet floors....

nice shot

I have had both the 35 wood bullpup and the flash both accurate and powerful. The bullpup had a slow leak, but was under warranty and hatsun fixed it. The bullpup is hard to cock

I purchased an M4 Sniper in .22. Have had it for at least 3 months. It came with a moderator and a manual. Purchase was from Utah Airguns.

The JSBs are certainly in contention with the Baracudas: they both shoot great. Really fun holding 3.5 mils at 50 yards and ringing (wiggling) the steel. A quantitative comparison will have to wait for the wind to drop and the temps to moderate. 5 shot chrono strings put the 13.73 at 670 and the 15.89 at 603.

I don't really understand the folding feature of this rifle. If it would fold all the way into a compact "brick" that's easy to transport in a trunk or in a backpack, that would make sense. But both the stock and the barrel are only half-folding making it even harder to store or carry IMHO. Interesting idea, but I doubt that it's a practical one.

Ok, I looked up this rifle and the manufacturing is calling it "survival rifle". Apparently, it comes with a waterproof storage case in the exact shape of this hollow space in the middle of the folded rifle. Still, I doubt that this design is practical by far. But at least it now makes some sense.

Hey Thanks again for the info on the slug sizing stuff...I'm anxious to see how it effect the grouping. I'm shooting about 1 moa now so even if it doesn't tighten that up much I will be able to shoot heavier slugs. Did you see the 90 yard shot I made on a rock squirrel? If I'm hitting critters out to 100 yards no it can only get better sizing it right! https://www.airgunnation.com/threads/head-shot-thread.1312648/post-1779147

Glad I could help. Your already shooting pretty darn good, but I think it would benefit with the correct sized slug. If anything like you mentioned, you would be able to run the heavier slugs and be more efficient not trying to squeeze an oversized slug down the tube. Let us know how it goes.

Looks like I will give up on .177 idea entirely.
The 15gn hades at 750 fps (detuned L2) will render the critters obsolete with a single shot to a highly visible vital zone.
Up through the branches the clear headshot is less then 50% most of the time.

Its getting worse every day, the Airgun Warrior forum classifieds is getting to be full of scammers. It definitely takes the fun out of buying/selling when you have to worry about lazy jerk offs trying to steal your money or air rifle.

Otis and friends checking things out!

I have a small laser pointer that I've been kicking around trying on the Rats. Its not a functional shooting item, as it is a press and hold switch; let go, it goes dark. But I could use it on Rats that I see, in handheld mode, and see if they get jittery.

Well, I tried this out, hand held, just to see what happened with it. It is way more than present. Amazingly bright on target. And then,.....
And then, I hit one of the reflectors, and the laser beam turned back towards myself. Amazingly bright? There is nothing like shining a red laser in your new bionic eyes to set off lots of alarms in your head. danger will robinson, danger.

I'm relatively new to this stuff so grain of salt and all... but... here's my 2 cents.

I've found big bores to be noticeablely less accurate. I don't know why, but none of my big bores (2x 357s and a 51) are as accurate as my .25 avengex. Not counting pellets... I don't really use them so can't comment... slugs only. All of these rifles (including avengex) have very nice custom barrels and I have spent a LOT of time and tried a LOT of different ammo and tunes.

If you're over the moon about 357 check out the rattler. I compared the two and it was an obvious choice IMO.

The old one will not work with a vortek kit because you have to remove the sleeve that is in the piston

Dude, send it back. BRK's are awesome. You definitely got a bad one. Seems like you've tried everything humanly possible to make it work. Don't drive yourself crazy...

My first air rifle was a Hammerli 850 in .22. Super reliable, accurate and fun. Great for getting into plinking and pesting. Nice mods you did.

Thanks. It really is a great rifle.

I was able to find a vendor on AliExpress that would make my adapters.
Bit of fun with the whole language thing but he seemed to have grasped the idea.

Click to expand...

And they failed, threads were 1.5mm not 1.0mm.
Then i found that the HW97 uses m22x1.0 thread shroud.
Aliexpress has a M22x1.0 to 1/2"-20 for the HW97.
Wanted M18x1.0 but 1/2"-20 will work.
Search algorithm on AliExpress is garbage.
Never what you are looking for then when looking for some other item up pops exactly what you searched for days prior.

Oui c'est ce que je comprend aussi et c'est pas du tout sérieux encore une fois de la part de fx.Pourquoi ne collabore t'il pas directement avec huma ? Ils le font bien pour des accessoiristes comme saber.Je vais monter également le régulateur g3 d'huma air et supprimer le 1er régulateur et lui aussi n'a jamais été à la hauteur du reste de la carabine

I recently bought a 0.22 Bandit and was having trouble getting any sort of decent shot group. The groups and accuracy seemed to change a lot as the pressure increased and decreased. Starting at a fill pressure of 2800 psi, I found my velocity increased the first 5 shots and then dropped rapidly. I found the best and most accurate groups came by only filling the gun to about 2000 psi and I could then get 9 decent shots at which point I was down to about 1500 psi.

Can’t wait to get mine up and running. I still need to run 220 power to it.

MicMack said:

I appreciate the offer. This would still have me in the same boat with single shots though. Am curious though, how does it compare to the Seneca?

Click to expand...

Same gun, reworked. CAParms website explains what all they do. Over 2x the power.
