The forearm on my 22lr carbon fiber bench rest stock is triangular in shape being wide at the bottom and narrow towards barrel.

The forearm guides on the PQP top are cut the exact opposite. As such the guides could not engage the narrow width of the forearm.

Both forearm guides can be rotated 180° , no tools required , and will now engage this style of forearm.

There's a match scheduled for this Saturday the 28th. David said it will not be in the woods but shot in the field from under the airgun benchrest pavilion. I'll PM you Davids info for the match. Anyone else that is interested in attending the last Field Target match of the season at Tacoma Rifle and Revolver club, please PM me and I'll pass along the info.

It's too short notice for me to get off work. I let a friend know, but he said the same. We hope to go there next time.

UPDATE- The new gun has now done the same thing....suddenly lost 255 fps in velocity.

I installed the Huma reg over a year ago and zero problems. I did put new orings in the old reg just to have in case I ever needed it. I found one oring inside that was falling apart so I'm sure that was my problem

It is difficult to say without knowing your intended use. The Helix line is all you could get under 500 from Element. The Titan line is a bit more than 500 but gets you much better glass. If you are open to other brands then there are many Hawke and Athlon scopes available from Airgun Depot under 500. I would probably take the Athlon Argos 8-32 BTR Gen2.

Hi
I did go ahead and get the athlon argos Gen 2 , 8x34x56.
I did however have to get adjustable scope rings to go along with it.
I had it out in the yard today at 80 feet and it was wonderful. I have diabetes related eye problems but everything seemed really clear for me on this scope, and it seems to be nicely built.
Tomorrow I'm off to the rifle range to get it really dialed in.
Thanks for your suggestion.

Hmmmmm............ Placement over Power?

If you're hitting what you aim at wither it is 10FPE or 1000FPE, does it matter?

You may not need this any longer, and no English sub titles but seemed to show the rebuild process : and better images to me Might help someone and if you should figure oub the issue with yours please let us all know.

If I am buying one tin of a pellet to try, I often buy from Amazon. The last 4 orders have arrived in good shape despite the "throw it in a bag" shipping method. I've returned JSBs to them because the pellets were trashed, however. I do not place any bulk orders of a pellet I've decided my gun likes from Amazon. Amazon's big advantage on the little orders is the "free" shipping. Sometimes their price is too high for that to be an advantage but it is often as low as the other sources or at least pretty close.

Bigger orders got to Pyramid Air mostly but I have ordered from the Pellet Shop and Utah Airguns and probably others I am forgetting at the moment. One of my Pyramyd orders was fulfilled by Midway and it arrived OK. But I have received trashed pellets from Midway and they are not as easy to deal with as Amazon is for returns. I tried to order some once from Hatsan because their prices were good and they were having a sale but the website was so wonky I couldn't place the order. So I don't know if they package well or not.

Like "Fast Food" places. "Lower the Quality but raise the Prices".

For me it’s been a process of figuring out what I want and need.

I started looking for an airgun for hunting a few years ago. I had springers and an entry level pcp for pesting/fun in the back yard, but thought it would be great to get a little more serious about hunting with them.

I tried a few different models and inevitably lost a little money (ok more than a little) selling the models that didn’t fit my style of hunting and the circumstances that I commonly find.

Things I take into consideration are:

Accuracy and repeatability - I have to be able to hit what I’m aiming at and have a reliable POI.

Ruggedness and build quality - airguns aren’t cheap, but I think you often get what you pay for. That being said l, I don’t want to have to baby an expensive toy when I am out there. I want a tool for the job. Some platforms are more robust and simple to use in the field. I love customization and fine tuning, but in my opinion that’s better for other disciplines.

Weigh and ease of carry through the woods- I hunt in the NW, lots of up and down logging roads and thick Doug fir forests. When I go east to the dry side, lots of sage brush type high desert. Similarly to upland hunting, my boots get miles on them. Some of my springers are great guns and take care of business in the back yard, but would be a burden around mile 4-5 on a day in the grouse woods.

Cost is always a factor, but I am lucky enough to have a second job that gives me enough shifts to be able to save up for what I want. I also am blessed with a wife who doesn’t ask about prices. I have been lucky in the classifieds, too. I have been able to find some good deals on guns that are in good shape and I try to keep the karma going when I inevitably sell off a gun.

Good luck with your search. It never ends

Thank you!

Really liked how thoughtful you were in your explanation.

I don't have much experience with PCPs but I have had springers. I am pretty much set on the FX Panthera Hunter Compact in 22 cal and rather cry once and get something I will be happy with, even though eventually I'll be buying more.

I don't get the lean away from an air rifle form factor. Maybe to attract firearms- owners to the world of air rifles? I think anyone who's shooting 6.5s or 8.6s would just think this is a woefully under powered gun. I'd far prefer a bottle on it, or a stupid large plenum.

Click to expand...

There are popular shooting comps called PRS and NRL, divisions of centerfire, rimfire and also air rifle. The Pro MDT has the "form factor" that emulates the superior balancing and handling attributes of the best precision centerfire and rimfire rifles meant to excel in these games.

I still have the replaced original MK2 (power) Plenum parts - just in case. Almost put these back couple times in the past....
Measured the "old" Valve Body is same diameter as the new 720c Plenum Valve Body - 15.88 mm dia.
Huh, I am on safe side, have all the orings ready in my hands.

Btw no "a bit harsh" comments can push me off my track, I am well trained since teenage

I would keep the 700 barrel and use it for long distance hunting or a long range target shooter . It should do well with the heavy slugs . Does the Tactical have the power plenum installed ? I think it does . I don't mind the looks if it preforms well .

Your V1 has the other stuff covered.

June Field Target Match Report
Boerne Shooting Club
Boerne, TX

Hello fellow shooters! Saturday morning the Boerne Shooting Club hosted its mostly-monthly Field Target match. Seven shooters braved the course, with only six competing for a score.

Will someone please beat Scotty H?!! Solid as a rock, Scotty is likely the most consistent shooter I have seen come through our course. Great shooting Scotty!! Another Lego trophy for the mantle! And never underestimate a Marauder!

David T unleashed his Redwolf this match, but his 50/60 wasn't quite enough bite for Scotty’s 52/60. Robert D. jumped back into the pcp class this match with 48/60, his 5 for 6 in the standing lane shows his prowess on the lanes, regardless of power plant.

Glen D’s second match yielded him two cleared lanes and a final score of 42/60. Glen may become Scotty’s nemesis if he keeps this up. He shot with Robert so I’m sure some sage advice was given. Nice shooting Glen!!

David E. shot his Beeman QB78S posting a 22/60. David shot a 700/750 last weekend in Schutzen with open sights, FT may not be his forte but he is a marksman without a doubt!

In the “ As Long as its a Pellet not Over 20 fpe” i.e., the ALPO 20 where almost anything goes, Jim C with his 20 fpe BRK Atomic with the buttstock added, shot a 37/60. I shot some faceplates and a KZ or two (possible split) in the ALPO 20 class with the remarkable Diana 54 and a red dot but not post score.

Lane 8 was entirely new this month with shots creeping uphill some and somewhat deceptively. Shifting the shot lines about 15 degrees is doubling our target locations overall, so the same course should rarely ever be shot twice. Lane 2’s left side is opening up more too, adding the mid range target to a new location. Lane 10’s needle threader was also back, a makeable long target tucked so deep and covered I had to crawl to get the string pulled. Only one target was swapped with one of the large ones tuned for 12 fpe, but I expect some more to be used in the next match as well.

We will be drilling footers for the FT bulliten board/wailing wall in the coming weeks and a divider post between lanes 4 and 5.

All shooters were winners for helping cleanup and breakdown!!!

Despite the miscommunication about leaving the bucklets on the range, I'm glad they got put up as N50 breakdown trailed on much longer than expected. Thanks so much again! And a hat tip to Robert D. for his novel idea for sight in targets. Simple genius!

REMEMBER :

There is a paintball game range in your area that lets airgunners shoot ground squirrels for free. I don't know the name of the range, so do a through search on AGN. The airgun range owner posted his free offer a few times on AGN.

It's down in Hollister, you can to go the Corbin factory afterwards, they've got a GREAT cafe.

TAG Adventure Park, I forget the guys name off the top of my head, nice guy, neat operation.

i’m hitting golf balls at 50yrds as well. golf balls make good easy to see targets.

Yup they make cheap targets that react well to a hit. I just drill a hole through the center and hang them. Seem to be holding up good to. My one has all kinds of pellets stuck in it.
Happy shooting

crazy to me,I mean how many ways can you make a standard doughnut? FX are very popular air rifles; great to have choices on other brands to.Does it really matter who did what? What matters is your happiness with what you bought

I've been shooting my rifle for a few weeks now and it is even better than I thought it was going to be !
I had a chance to shoot pdogs with it.
It is so much easier to carry around the prairie dog town than my M3.

I get 10 shots from 230 bar to 180 bar. I haven't shot it down to the reg pressure of 150 bar to see total shot count. But seems like I should get 5 more shots.

I was shooting it this week while camping.

This concrete post is 205 yards from camp, I was trying to shoot a small water bottle off the top of it.


I aimed at a previous shot(by blue dot) on the post to check wind drift.
I couldn't see my 1st 2 shots but I was able to see my 3rd shot, I then had my wind hold to hit the water bottle.
I have shot my M3 at that post with pop cans or other targets on it, but I have never shot a sub MOA group.

I know it was expensive, but the more I shoot it, the more I find it is worth it.

After seeing this tread, i went to my storage to check on mine. They didn't look all that good since something heavy was placed on top of the box and bent it.
My up/down flag was better packed and still functional,but needed to replace the stand.
I ordered 2 new flags from Matt@Graham Wind Flags which were sent out very quickly without any problems.
Now i just need to put them to good use and add a longer tail to the up/down flag

Also, if you have the valve in both bottles, you can carry the original (filled) bottle with you as a spare instead of a larger refill tank or air compressor/pump

I can now see digital scopes replacing traditional scopes soon. Hopefully by this time next year Arken will give me a 1X-50X with 4k . The 5x20 is amazing
