It is hard to beat Nightforce in general and the SHV in particular. It has everything you need and nothing you don't. Plus they offer a great moa reticle that is uncluttered and easy to use. At 200 yds. a magnification of 20 X max will give you a crystal clear sight picture that should cover your desired applications for both RF and airguns. They seem to have cut out the frills and lowered the price without degrading the product. Win, win.

I have one in .177 that is just amazing. I tune for my heaviest projectile and then find lower power tunes for a number of lighter ones. I use light tunes for plinking and target work. I get about 100-120 shots per fill. Then turn up the power for hunting and pesting (I'll still get a solid 3 mags or 66 shots). One of FX's better values in my opinion.

I'm asking if anyone is shooting the Gen 2 Patriot Javelin .30 caliber slugs in their RAW HM1000x.LRT, if yes, which ones, how is the precision and what is the tune?

My guns do that at 100. If they will not then I sell them,or change liners. This is a ten shot group will the 600mm superlite. First time shot,it was a liner test at 100 yards. I'd say it's a good one,1in22 twist.

Yep, tried that. Guess he's kinda busy! Don't think screw adjustment will do it, however?

Yeah he was busy today he didn’t pick up but don’t give up.

I am fairly new to PCP air guns but sprang for an AEA Challenger Pro. I like it a lot. But I am not very mechanical, fostering this question. After about 2000 rounds through it I have blown the O ring inside the fill port. I have a new ring ordered. I am told it is a quick fix BUT there are no videos I can find or photos of how to switch it out. I have removed the tube .... NOW WHAT. Please help this newbe with the very basics of how I replace the o ring. Thank you

no my broken lever was fixed in,,,,, 3-4 months at a local FX dealer, it took wayyyyy too long if you ask me. 22 November 2022 notified seller about broken handle - 15 March 2023 my Maverick was still not fixed.
I am not sending a gun back to that dealer, that is for damn sure, probably also not buying a gun there again.

But the replacement handle still work just fine, but as it is the same my reasoning is, it might well break just as easy.
When it broke i was shooting 13 grain slugs like i have always done with the maverick.

Cocking not a problem, and i have no problem with it in a blind at all and when you're shooting the distance out to 130-150 yards at critters you better be shooting with some aid, 1.5 pound more than my 35 marlin. The challenger is well made. It's one of the most powerful stock 357s out there. In its price range you can't beat a challenger big bore in any form.

So, I was searching for some H&N ammo, and came across the "Pyrramyd Air" site. Yes, I spelled that correctly - that is in the URL (web address). The logo on the page is "Pyramyd" - spelled correctly. However, the one or 2 things I compared between the two sites had different prices, with the "Pyrramyd" site being cheaper. Also, I don't see the misspelled site coming up doing a search for "Pyrramyd Air scam."

The real site is verified by "Let's Encrypt", while the misspelled site is verified by "Google Trust Services."

What's up with that @pyramydair?

This is soooo fake site . Just like these "Abibas" running shoes. Thank you for sharing!

Awesome shooting and I think that’s as good as it gets.

I have two guages on both of my tanks. One guage reads tank pressure and the other reads fill pressure into the gun.

KYL is "Know Your Limits " a saw horse looking target with smaller and smaller spinners . You get a point for each target and you call stop before you miss . When you miss you get "0" hence "KYL"

Any particularly reason why you are set on a 1" tube? That is really limiting your options. If it's not an absolute necessity a 30mm really opens the door.

The Hawke Vantage comes in a 4-16x44 SF model w/ Half Mil Dot reticle. They use the same glass as the Airmax. Might be a good choice. Shouldn't be a problem finding a 3d printed enlarged sidewheel for ranging.

Match is located at the Eagle OPS rally point.

Come on out this Saturday and shoot a fun AAFTA style match and not have to worry about wind conditions. They are virtually nonexistent in this heavily wooded range with a dense tree canopy that also repels rain very well. (AND EAT SOME COLD WATERMELON WITH US!)
As with any wooded environment, insect repellent is highly recommended.

Weather forecasts are light winds (not a factor here. It’s wooded.) Rain chances are zip. It will start out I the mid 70’s and by the end of the match, maybe not even break 90 degrees.

For more information please feel free to contact Curtis @ [email protected]

Range opens 8am

Practice 8:30am

Shooters Meeting 9:15am

Shooting lanes hot: 9:30am

Match will consist of a total of sixty shots. Lane count may vary from 10 with three targets per to 15 lanes with two targets per. Two forced lanes per match. Ties will be resolved by most forced targets hit. If a tie still exists, a shoot off will be held.

Match Fee $10

I look forward to seeing what you guys think of this scope. Looks like it could be just what I’m looking for.

both the fill probe and the fill valve inside the tank use 1.6 cs x 3.1 id mm
I do not remember where I got the size for the probe but I have it written on my o-ring bag

A friend had his tuned as high as it could go in an attempt to run 25.4s as fast as a RW. It shot quite poorly and only got 16 shots per charge. He had me look at it and best I could do by simply tuning was 893 w 25.4s. The behavior was much improved.
The problem is that DS didn't desing in much plenum so it can't generate huge power.
Now considering all that, Derrick Wall did manage to get just over 50 ft lb with some valve and porting work, but from what he described to me, it was a lot of careful work for the little payoff and no one knows how durable the tune will be.
I really feel that the sweet spot for 22 cal on these is with 18 gn, maybe up to 22 gn if you can find them...

That is good advice.
I will leave it alone — it is already loud at 30FPE — can't imagine how much louder it would be at higher powers....!

Hmmm....
Ok, let me get this straight..
You have changed out the FX reg to a new one..... Also changed to a Huma Reg..(which I run, 1st and 2nd reg)
Have you checked the bottom of the hole where the 1st Reg screw in??
Remember, since you can back-fill the bottle on the gun...
There is a passage on the reg to allow fill pressure to bypass the Reg!

It is that hole on side of the reg.
So to isolated the Fill/bottle pressure is that Bottom O-ring!!
Check to see if there is any crude or scratches on the of the Hole...This where the Reg seal against!!

Good Luck

AA is top notch.

The 1 I let get away. .177 redwolf standard. Personally best gun ever made. Had to sell due to vehicle upgrade and baby being born all at same time!!

How do the 44 gr AEA shoot ?? Seeing those are available and very reasonably priced. Just looking for feedback before buying.

Old NOOB here, I ordered this reg direct from Altaros. I hit the button for 12FPE when ordering, as that bar had several options for pressure. I got it in the mail today and this is what it shows. Do you suppose anyone actually looked at this from the shipping bin and tested it or do you suppose the shipper just grabbed one and sent it? I suspect the latter. But I have been wrong many times. No mention of a test was on the invoice.

i even have a modified flag with a very small fishing split shot weight on it as a second tail to compare if the original flag is straight out .

Avs 254 42 grain flat base. NSA do not fit in well the lead is alloyed and too hard. Avs is pure lead and more malleable. Zan 253. Best slugs are altars but expensive and hard to get. Avs 253 fit better but don’t shoot better. I also have the k1 which take the 254 so it’s simpler to have one size. In answer to why shoot slugs from GK1, it’s fun the sheer punching power is amazing. I normally use the Aea 25/34grn or jsb mkll for target and plinking but for destructive fun the slugs can’t be beat. Aside from the safety issues these guns are amazing for fun and home defense. At the moment nothing out there that checks so many boxes in a clean simple design. I have a well operating lcs but I always grab my k1 first. Nothing is perfect but these are close.
