IMPACT M4 VIDEO - IN FIELD USE

Check out this video of us taking the M4 out on a Prairie Dog hunt to see what they were capable of!


*Warning - video contains Hunting content*
Hi Utah air guns,
In the video with the rifle that was left “stock standard” for testing purposes. What length barrel and what size slugs/pellets were you pushing out of it? I’m reading lots of different views on max sizes for the standard liner? It would be helpful to know where to start.
Cheers

Skout  Epoch safety

Hey guys .

I have a Scout Epoch .22 awesome gun I love It . But every now and again when I press the safety off button It will fire without me touching the trigger a little unsettling to say the least , anybody else had this problem ??
I haven’t had any issue like this either. Have you made any adjustments to the trigger settings?

.222 Slugs

This is the mold you've been looking for:


Get a .222 sizer and you should be in business.
Yes this is a excellent slug for the 222 barrel I like to cast in pure lead and they drop at .223" or just under that
if casting with that MP mold using a little tin they cast at .224" a good speed is at 960 fps they'll cast at 35 grain

FX  Fx panthera compact hunter

So far I'm impressed with this platform! The accuracy is what you would expect with a fx higher end platform. Consistent Gatorade bottle hit at 125 yards with a 22 cal shooting 15.89gr fx pellets/jsb. Stupid accuracy at 20-55 yard. Only thing needed now is rail to protect the bottle and underside of body of platform. The trigger sucks out of all fx guns I've shot. It was a toss up over impact or panthera compact.
Next gun will be a .177 because that seems to be the best gun for my usage and application.

Address Check

And before you pay, have a call with the seller and make sure it's a landline or a cell, not a VOIP temporary text now crap https://www.phonevalidator.com/
Just checked and this service list my number as being in a large city 50 miles away. Naturally the County tax map ( harris maps is who they use) does show my correct info/address.

FX  FX Wildcat Sniper MkIII Regulator problem

I would replace it with an fx amp as it should be free.
Ok ill wait and see if they get back to me. I always had velocity issues with this rifle , First 3 shots always below desired speed, then every fourth shot or so velocity would drop and impact would be inch low at 50 yds, otherwise it is very accurate avg 8 to 10mm. groups. thanks again

I definitely noticed with my t9 that the more I used it the less buggy it got.
Most definitely. Also the best slugs for mine are NSA 79 grn. Those spit like sunflower seeds and cycle very well. Gonna try the NSA 93 grn next.
I also noticed that one of my magazines are a little bent on the inside. I noticed it after trying the Texoma 102 grain. It didn't cycle fully and got bent and I had to push it out of the magazines. Too heavy. Now I definitely get random cycle issues when I use that magazines but I am aware of the damage. Other than that, with the good mag I cycle perfectly with JSB Diobolo & Hades pellets, and NSA 79 grain slugs. Gonna try NSA 93 because the NSA 79 seems a little small in the mag but function very well

Umarex notos -Longer barrel, less speed?

The thread title has to do with a longer barrel…..not a micro carbine. Modding what one has is a common theme in airgunning.

Dave
gotcha.. my bad, i would check the barrel o-rings first, just to make sure those are in tact. the loss in velocity can be attributed to those o-rings being damaged.

.25 STX superior, your experiences

Yes indeed I am still waiting for the "HOLY GRAIL" of slug world to appear
Is it really so much to ask? Lol.

I don't get why not same premise as hybrid, in 25.4 with a closed hollow tip. I don't care about heavy slugs I want the same energy to fly further. A 34gr pellet vs a 34 gr slug at the same velocity, the slug is superior... the slug isn't AS prone to err as diabolos from minor issues such as a tiny imbalance and GP turning it into a whirly bird. My 890 in a slug will hold the same energy/velocity at 120y as a diabolo Will at 25y. So far the light ZAN and NSAs HATE my barrels yet heavier slugs up to 34. Do better, but my damn near 90 shots turns to 40 real quick when I'm giving the required HS and preload to hurl 34gr at 860+.

Anyway. Decision is made to cap it at 30gr with slugs and stick with the hps for 80 and further on larger than crow/squirrel game. Hybrids within 80 are the tool. Winged friends get pellets.

Polymags and “nuclear “ pellets vs slugs

I have had great terminal performance with my .30cal Hades on a few groundhogs. The problem is their accuracy falls apart after 50 yards or so. A great substitute is the FX Hybrid Slug. It holds more long range energy, but it has rapid expansion, which quickly sheds energy in prey. This may prevent passthroughs on some game.

Zerotech for hunting, Delta for target

Yes, there is a mammoth price difference with these two options. So, why buy them? I found the glass on the 6-24x50 HD scope awesome in glass quality and affordability. It’s my go to. However, for target shooting, the Delta Stryker is beyond belief with the field of view at 100. My target shooting friend dumped his Athlon stuff and bought 3 delta scopes according, after using mine. Yes, price is a bit**. But they produce! It’s a get what you pay for deal.

Airgun Technologies  Can the magpul dislodge the HW44?

Thanks for understanding that.
I just sold it to a friend and for him it fits fine.
Not fantastic but good enough.
But I have had the same issue before with grips that have palm shelves.
But with wood grips at least I can modify them to fit my hand.

And in the case of the Manul that started this discussion, I can buy an Ergo grip which I know works very well for my hand size.
Hopefully it is as accurate as HW44 but from AGT's reputation it should be.

If it is as nice as others I have discussed this with have said it will be a nice replacement for my HW44.
The only negative going in for me is that it the magazine is fixed and that even the retailer agrees would be nice to have changed.

Epic  Can the Epic displace the Vulcan 3?

I've got a Uragan 2- 700mm. I couldn't believe how enormous the Uragan 2 looked when I first unboxed it, I'm talking bulky looking as in shroud/bottle diameter (full disclosure - This was my first bottle gun). I believe the Vulcan 3 has an even larger diameter bottle and the shroud is the same diameter as the Uragan 2 (I believe?).

What strikes me about the Epic 2, is the weight, And I consider weight to be an impediment on a hunting gun. The Epic 2 - 550mm is even heavier than my Uragan 2 - 700mm (slightly anyway). I'll take a weight penalty for a blind or stand hunting gun, But when I consider an ideal hunting airgun, as in walking around and shooting stuff, weight is definitely a consideration.

I was impressed with the sticky above with 1791 shooting a 700mm Epic 2 ('All Hits'), a big WOW as far as accuracy/consistency, but then I searched and found several reviews where some of the guns had issues (maybe I could find those for the Vulcan 3 also?). From my perspective, if the Epic 2's issues(?) are ironed out, and the riffles are as consistent/accurate as in 1791's review, weight be damned... I'd be looking at one.

I'm into PCP's for pellet shooting only, but after watching the above video (All Hits), I could see PCP's (with slugs) possibly replacing my 22 rimfires not too far down the road... for fun and hunting.

Jerry
I own much more PCP’s of those than I need.

BUT ….

The idea of having one of the new to arrive Vulcan 3 HP in .30 Cal with 150 fpe able to kill with heavy slugs midle size game at 170 yards…..

Well …. That is something that you need to think twice …

Maybe never…. But also maybe soon…
