Had no clue a calendar existed!

Shoots great! Depending on what ur shooting and how far. I have my .25 sighted at 50yrds and shooting the jsb hades 26gr. Its a little front heavy, so i changed out the OE bottle to a carbon fiber bottle. Its a little lighter. Pest control at 40 to 50 yrd no problem.

No opinions asked for. This thread was just to let people that buy the product. That I found quite the price difference between vendors.

AN FYI THREAD.

Not a Please tell me your thoughts on this product. It’s been sold and used by millions for 30 years. I’m sure over that course of time there has been plenty of opinions formed.

Thanks for the heads-up about the price difference and apologies for steering the thread off course.
Opinions do tend to crop up naturally—whether they’re requested or not. It’s just how these places work, I suppose.

Go to Huma Air directly? Got my FX Boss reg about 3 days after ordering which blew me away.

All I know is that I enjoy PCPs way more than springers.

Wait, what were we talking about??

Springers are more fun than PCP's. Even with the wind today I had a hoot with the HW30. One and two mil dot hold over makes called shots more interesting.

I reviewed the Two Forty on my channel. Rudimentary trigger. The case hardening is very thin. I broke through it trying to stone the sear. Other than that, I was surprised by the accuracy and for the price tag, it's pretty hard to beat. Would make a great kids 1st pellet gun.

I agree. If the trigger was better it would be areal bargain. However I still like it as is as a $100 dollar

Thank you

I couldn't find a video regarding rebuilding of RAW Regulator.

So I made a YouTube video and the link is hereunder.

Once again thanks for a very informative and helpful video, RAW should hire you, to do exactly what you have and are doing. They seem to lack the ability to show detailed video of working on their air rifles..THANKS

Hye guys, These are heads and tails above the rest when it comes to Night Vision. I have reviewed about 6 of these, and they are all the same exact unit with different names, shapes...identical inside. This one is different. It's really good, and the zoom works while recording and it has an app you can control it with. Also super freaking clear and great IR illumination with a mount for an additional torch. Check it out:

Hi,

I run a .22 target rifle club, we shoot with ring sights sling and jacket, and are looking for similar air rifles to use alongside our .22 rifles. My only experience target shooting air rifles is the MPR Sporter, and while im tempted to get these for the club they are a little out of budget. Is there an alternative that can handle the same sight setup for cheaper?

Thanks in advance for any advice

Yeah I’m in the city. Closet outdoor range worth shooting at is otter creek and that’s like 30+ minutes from me

you need to adapt to Kentucky mileages . 30 minutes = a short piece down the road . 45 minutes = a piece down the road , not much .

Just a quick note, I ordered a tuning kit from ARH. When installed it made the R10 seem like a different rifle with a very very nice shot cycle

Thus is why I never, never buy first model year anything, vehicles, guns, boats nothing. I usually wait two years to pass and buy the 3rd model year.

Oh yeah they are harder for sure.

I have the HW97kt in .22. It shoots about 670fps and has enough horsepower to go through a can of ranch style beans at 60 yards. Enough accuracy to hit a shotgun shell at that range every shot.

No problem shooting squirrels out to 60-70 yards with that gun. I do it often. Your not going to get headshots at 70 yards but 50 is no problem at all. The HW97 is one of the most accurate spring guns made.

Hit them in the shoulder at 50 yards on out and you will stop 80% in their tracks. They aren't going far if they go anywhere at all.

It's heavy to hunt with. It's best rested rather than shot offhand. I much prefer the HW95 for hunting. But the 97 will certainly get it done.

I chronographed my gas ram Cometa 400 .22 at 745 fps yesterday. It keeps them under an inch at 50 yards and hits like a sledgehammer. I think it will make a better hunting rifle than either of the HW rifles mentioned. Its lighter and hits harder. It's right up there with the D350 on power and shoots as smooth as my Vortek tuned D34. Accuracy is comparable too. It's just not quite as pretty.

@Jarnold Thank you for your input!
Well I consulted 2 shops and 2 shooting ranges near me. Another issue that Jarnold mentioned came up, where can I shoot an airgun....I managed to find 2 shooting ranges near me that allow aiguns with a distance of 10 meters, and I live in an apartment so cannot use my backyard(which is legal here) lol.

Furthermore the shops said that I will have issues with the delivery since I'm not a certified weapons dealer.

Bottom line, I've decided to go with a .22lr until I have my own backyard

Easier and cheaper to buy locally.
No legal issues, although a bit more requirements, like registration(the shop does this for you) and a gun safe with separate compartments for the weapon and the ammo, which I would get anyways.
More parts and ammo options available.
Longer shooting ranges available for .22lr, more sports clubs and competitions, that are suprisingly cheaper to participate than for airguns lol

If anyone cares, it's a CZ 457 MTR 16"
...will be picking it up on Saturday, but I plan on upgrading it with an MDT Oryx chasis, UTG 360 bipod, 419 30moa picatinny rail and I'm still thinking about a scope....

I am considering Arken SH4J Gen 2 6-24x50 or Element Optics Helix 6-24x50, these are decent "budget" options and can be found localy for around 500eur which is ridiculous compared to US prices.

If you guys know of a better scope alternative in this price range + - 100eur, suggestions are more than welcome.

Not in a hurry since Black Friday deals might come up.

How about some details on the best place to get bullet molds? I'm looking for something hollow point with a weight between 250gr and 350gr.
I've done a little net surfing but haven't found much in those weights. Seems like everything is 350gr and heavier.
Is there a good place to buy lead that's decent for bullet making at a reasonable price?

Thx

Rotometals is fine. Price is tolerable, but not amazing. Molds from lee, arsenal molds, mp molds, accurate molds, noe molds. MP is the best bang for buck imo.

Thermal imaging devices have revolutionized outdoor observation, from wildlife tracking to security surveillance. Their ability to detect heat signatures regardless of lighting conditions makes them invaluable. However, not all environments are alike, necessitating the use of tailored scene modes. In this post, we'll explore the key scene modes—City, Rain, and Forest—that optimize thermal imaging for diverse outdoor settings, enhancing your observation experience.

1. Why do We Need 3 Scene Modes?
We need three scene modes (City, Rain, and Forest) because different environments pose unique challenges for thermal imaging devices. Each mode is specifically designed to optimize the device's performance in distinct environments characterized by varying temperature contrasts. By providing select-able scene modes, the device can adapt to different scenarios, ensuring clearer, more detailed, and more accurate images, ultimately enhancing the outdoor observation experience.

2. What Are the 3 Scene Modes?

City Mode
Effectively capture significant temperature differences between the surroundings and the
target, and present them seamlessly.
Features: Low image noise, natural and seamless transitions, smooth imaging.

Rain Mode
Highlight the temperature contrasts to show details through algorithm adjustments when the temperature differences between prey and its environment are minimal.
Features: High sharpness, with the most distinct temperature contrasts and the richest details in the same environment.

Forest Mode:
The effect is between City and Rain modes, enhancing imaging contrast between
different temperature zones.
Features: Moderate sharpness with relatively prominent details.

3. How to Choose the 3 Scene Modes?

City Mode
Suitable for scenarios with substantial temperature contrasts between prey and the environment, such as farms and ranches, wide plains and grasslands, and urban edges.
Rain Mode
Suitable for scenarios with minor thermal differences between prey and the environment, such as rain-forests, wetlands, marshlands and dense woodlands.
Forest Mode:
Suitable for scenarios with moderate temperature differences between prey and the environment, such as shrub-lands, national forests, hills, and mountainous regions.

The above content is mainly for PARD thermal monocular binocular and thermal scope, and the above content is also applicable to some dual-optical fusion products.

I would say a washer made from the same material as the tube you are trying to extend for lack of better word, aluminum? once again this is just my opinion. I don't know if there is a dowty seal/washer that might work.

Comparing the two Monstrum ring sets side by side, the Monstrom Pro Series rings are a far better product than the light duty Razor Claw line. Given what we are mounting them on, and the scope's as well, the extra few grains in weight and the few dollars more are worth it.

All great ideas guys. Thanks.

Guess I should have thought a little harder before posting such a lame question.

Yup I’m a newb

NOT a lame question ! i fished all my life and never thought of casting weights

i just want to put a cf bottle on this thing , i dont have a valve , i thought i was going to take the valve out of the aluminum bottle thats stock on the gun and install it on the cf bottle , , can i just unscrew this bottle off and screw the new cf bottle on ? did they glue a fitting into the bottle that makes this job a mess ?? i dont care if the bottle has a valve if it will just swap out ,
