Thank you. You are gener

Sure, UL.

After much tuning both when I had only 250 BAR charging capabilities, and after I (now) have 350 BAR capabilities, I located the sweet-spot charge pressures to return at least a full 19-shot magazine within acceptable extreme velocity spreads (30 FPS or less). Of course the velocity and power of those (at least) 19 shot power-bands increased proportional to the charge pressure.

Here are the results achieved at 315 BAR charge pressure with my two preferred pellets, thankfully equally accurate in my .22 GK. Of course the 18.1s are flatter-shooting, but notice the substantial 10% muzzle energy advantage of the 22.07s-

18.1 grain FX, tuned for 310 BAR fill, 23 shot powerband- Low= 912, Hi= 942, ES= 30, SD= 10, Average= 930 FPS/34.8 FPE

22.07 grain JTS, 315 BAR fill, 21 shot powerband- 870/894/24/6.3/882/38.1

I mostly shoot the 22.07s almost exclusively, in case I get the opportunity at a coyote on my 30 acre home-place.

By the way, I'm trying to reduce my keyboarding time; and am also a big believer in/advocate of the most antiquated and efficient form of communication known to Man. Feel free to call me if you need more information.

Thank for being so generous with your knowledge and time. Deeply grateful.

One thing to keep in mind are your state's hunting regulations regarding airguns. Recent years have seen the addition of airguns for hunting for many states. Minimum caliber and more can be found in the hunting regs. I've read the whole posting and didn't see this mentioned. I wish you luck in your journey. Have fun and stay safe legally.

Plug it in and go, no choke, no changing spark plug, no worry about winterization, no extra noise, no exhaust fumes. I have too many gas engines now to keep running. Can't visualize getting another unless totally necessary.

We had an Indonesian vendor advertising their stuff on this forum, about a year ago. Maybe it's the same company.

Another fun match in OKC! A 35 Troyer, it was a very challenging course with almost a four way shoot-off for third to boot.
Mike A. has become a phenom to shoot against. Isn’t this his fourth win in a row between Tulsa and OKC? A big shout out to Mike also for the beautiful pepper stock. I got it mounted up and the hold with the adjustable cheek is much better than the black factory one. You ain’t getting it back either Mike! it’s bound to help improve the forced position shots.
Besides the expected challenges of the forced lanes, lane five was a whole different lane and lane ten was a close second for me.
My son Adam, said he had a lot of fun too and said shooting FT is a lot harder than shooting his ANG issued weapon.
Looking forward to seeing everyone in Tulsa in a couple of weeks, July 13th!

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has taken the plunge with these yet. They are just starting to become available in the UK. I like the looks, but think it's really going to be for benchrest shooters, as it weighs over 5lbs.

Smok3y,
Great vid and intel. Thanks for chiming in.

Interesting point, The gauge on my kalibrgun is off by fifty bar! But it's a consistent misalignment with this. I don't understand why the gauge would not be able to show the real pressure mechanically.

I've been using the Goodnature squirrel (A18), rat and mouse traps (A24) for the past 4 years or so.

I have a bunch of the A24's and some Chinese (from e-bay) knock-offs around the yard. And I have one of the A18's up a tree.

By and large they work well. They're useful both for when you have an infestation and you need to kill many quickly (where "many" is 8-10 a day per trap) and also for when your rodent population is mostly under control but you might only see a rat or squirrel in your yard once every week or two.

You bait the trap with a bait that can last a few months in mild climates (to half a year in colder climates) and the trap kills the animal with a CO2-powered captive bolt system. If you set the trap up properly, the target will fall out of the trap and gets eaten by other animals in your yard, be it crows, your chickens or other pest animals. The trap automatically resets and clobbers the next animal that comes along. The A18 designation means that the trap will reset 18 times before the CO2 cartridge is empty, A24 means 24 times.

I learned about these from the Shaun Woods channel, here are his videos.



For the most part they're great and keep my rodent population well under control. Due to the nature of the trap, you can leave them unattended for long periods of time.

One of the downsides of the trap is sometimes corpses can get stuck in the trap, and will need to be manually cleared before the trap is functional again. In my 4 years that's only happened once, with a trap placed on the ground. A particularly fat rat that barely fit into the trap got "glued into" the entrance with the blood that came out of his head, when the trap smooshed it. I suspect this has happened many times before, but other animals would have taken the corpse out of the trap. But not this time.

The chinese knock-offs are pretty good, but you do get better quality with the originals. The main difference is the knock-offs use buna-n o-rings to seal the CO2 cartridge, where the originals use teflon seals. After 6 months, the units with o-rings are always out of gas, while the teflon ones can still have a few charges remaining, provided they havent caught a lot of animals. Other than that, the units are essentially identical.

You can set the units up to use your own bait preparations, or you can buy pre-prepared bait packs fro Goodnature. The items from Goodnature are pretty pricey, so I'd advise to figure out good bait for whatever it is you're trying to dispose of, on your own.

Shoot my bad man. I wasn't trying to rub it in on ya. Just got excited over this one because it can keep up with me. I hope you get back up and running ASAP. PCPs are great fun and I feel your pain. Best of luck man!

Hey again @joeyw007

No problems, keep that barrel hot with lead . Print up some paper targets, fill em full of holes and join us on this thread:

Wait for your 10 post minimum if youd like...., but in my opinion, the Notos is very quiet, right out of the box!
No additional moderator needed, in my opinion.
And Maple and Carm, both have their own web sites, for reliable aftermarket mags, either of which are highly recomennded.

Well, I'll let price be the determination then!
And I think that makes 10 posts

I didn't have problems with FX v1 (except rarely it would not register a shot) but did not try v2. Should I stay away from v2?

Don’t know man,
make sure the seller takes the product back if u r not happy with it like pyramidair guys do!!!

Told y'all humanoids are smaller than humans!

The two Team Centercut shooters that made the finals in Pro 100Y Benchrest were shooting:

Derrick: .30 Red Panda with AEA 50.5 grain pellets, Athlon Cronus scope.
Mike: .30 Skout with AEA 45 grain pellets, Vortex Golden Eagle scope.

How’s the weight to carry it around on long trip?

Click to expand...

Heavier than I like, for me its more of an overwatch type of gun. My walkabout has way less power but gets a lot done. My Atomic XR.

I don't see anything related to either of those companies in any of your 20 most recent threads https://www.airgunnation.com/members/keyman62421.6364/#recent-content

Conspiracy Charge?

Wow… it really is Karenfornia.

We have been using Nielsen 34.9g slugs for their balance of BC and weight. They are easier to push fast when compared to the normal heavy slugs and have a great BC. We also use the newer H&N Slug II (38g-44g) but they are heavier so you need the extra oompf to drive them fast. The H&N are pretty soft and expand really well for an air powered projectile; so they work great on small targets. The Nielsen are more of a medium lead alloy and work well for bigger critters when you need some penetration. We have 2 Impacts that are set up for slugs with heavy liners and high reg settings to reach ~1000fps.

Wow thats pretty cool…600 yards. Thanks for sharing. I have been shooting airguns for years but not like this. Thanks for sharing.

I have one that I bought from a friend that had lots of upgrades with port mod , hill hammer system with an internal huma. The max speed was 872 with the rest waisted. The huma spacer is enough plenum for a speed of 855 with the 25s and is a very sweet gun. You are only going to get so many shots at that power (two mags). If you got lucky like it looks like you got a good barrel and already have a gun that does what it does well. 42 Ish ft Lb. Check out about the lawyer spring and polish parts but don't dump money into it.

I bought one and use it all the time!

Eleven tough Texans decided it wasn't hot enough yet and attended a field target match at the beautiful Arlington Sportsman's Club on June 22nd. (Asst. MD note: Jim C. is definitely a Texan, he just has a rare speech disorder called Downton-Abbeyism). Scotty H beat Brian S because Brian was not as good at kneeling, which is a very Texan way to lose a match. Conditions were a little hot, a little windy and a lot of fun. There were some interesting competitions going on with the WFTF and Unlimited classes, with David A and Paul B coming out on top, respectively. I tied for first and last place as the only piston shooter. Because we shot so quickly, I never had the chance to take any photos. You're welcome.

Thanks to everyone for helping take down the course, it was very appreciated. Our July match will not be happening because the MD and AtMD will be out of town. The next match will be August 24th.

Here's the scores. Quick note, I don't think Brian was shooting a Daisy Powerline, I think he was having some fun on the scorecard.
