I am mainly a benchrest shooter, but lets face the truth..benchrest videos are boring!
Most videos just show people on benches..a glance at their targets and final results.
I look down the line to see what equipment people are using..but there is seldom any discussion.
for people just starting out, i would recommend "Air Ability" . He's informative and direct and loves to sport

more that i like;
I'd love to see Ted Biers do some more vids. I don't even care what he's reviewing..they are great vids
I like being entertained by Giles(Airgun Gear Show)..he makes me laugh while reviewing ...and he's has a great selction of videos on his Airguns 101 website
AEAC (airgun exploration & Advancement channel) has very good tuning videos on a variety of rifles

Maybe a lead to look up nubnles stuff or contact

Tuning the Snowpeak PP800R

Thanks Paul, I'll start with the new spring and go from there... I'll give @Nubble a shout and see if he can help on that score. I keep looking at the thing and growling. I know it's got plenty of potential but I didn't expect to be this inconsistent out of the box. :confused:

Well its either dirty or the micro switch is bad. Either send it back to where you got it or ask them for a new micro switch would be best to return for repair as you would be out of warranty working on it yourself

Thanks a lot.

Apparently the last "negotiation" brought an "agreement".... Seem to be "adjusted" as I wanted.

If it becomes stiff again, then I will follow your advice.

Thanks a lot Solo1 !

When you list it there you probably want to put in the ad it’s .22 caliber.

It’s definitely not a 1/4 npt even a 1/8 npt is too large it pro a metric size. I’m still waiting for Joe’s team to reply to email I sent on Saturday maybe they are off on weekends but hopefully I hear from them soon.

It could be a British size, I want to say BSP 1/8, they are slightly different. They are REALLY close to NPT but....not the same....obviously. I've had a great conversation with them at Airtanks, just call them up. They have a killer ground squirrel setup, literally and figuratively.

Hi Bigbuck, That rifle looks gorgeous. Is that a hydro dip or wrap on the rifle?

Today I set the hamster on a sandbag. Only 13 yards but I wanted to see how consistent it was shot to shot sitting on the hamster. It drilled a single hole. I am going to set up and shoot from my bag tomorrows.

The laser visualizes the amount of movement of the rifle on the target. The scope or reddot "sight radius" is too short to indicate visual instability detail. I shoot my rifles at short range with lasers while looking over the scope. I prefer pistols for <30 yards and I don't look down the barrel. There is no need to look down the barrel if you can see where your equipment is pointed. There is a lot more data about this, if you have an interest. If not, at least have a good day and keep shooting! Brad

exactly why i put a laser on my notos. pinpoint accuracy up to 25 yards! i like seeing the pellet flash into the laser beam at night too. looks like a laser gun!

I re-tuned the .22 Veteran a couple of nights ago. I've always wanted to tune the Hades 15.89gr below 900 FPS but when the .22 was my only gun, for some reason, I just wanted it to stay at least 30 FPE. Arbitrary, I know... but here we are. Also, not that I was having i accuracy issues shooting them at 915 FPS, but I also want to reduce the FPE since this is my backyard varmint rifle. Now that I have the .25 Veteran, I don't feel as compelled to keep the .22 at a certain FPE.

I pulled out the Huma reg to change it. The last time I changed it, I didn't have a reg tester yet and I set it according to the sticker indicator on the side. I know the sticker is not accurate but I had to go by something. Sure enough, what I thought was 95 bars according to the sticker is actually 105 bars. From my testings previously, I set the regulator to 88 bars to achieve the velocities I was after. At this regulator setting, the highest velocity possible was 900 FPS. I then adjusted the hammer spring tension to achieve 883 FPS average.

How do I ask this? How does a fixed blade fly at that speed?

They fly straight which is kinda amazing what with the speed, once Sighted in its dead on and hasn't changed POI at all.

Lots of rabbits in your area. We have scrub rabbits, you give them a dirty look and they die

Welcome. I live in South Carolina and not within any city limits and I can legally shoot targets in my backyard. I still use effective moderators and shoot mostly into pellet traps to try and not annoy anybody.

Well..i got really quick at it because of the frequency
Dump air...remove the clip at end of valve-push through the valve-remove oring-grease new one and set into the hole-pop the valve back in-replace clip..air it up
My oring usually clipped when i shut it down under higher pressures..but not always
it's just more reliable with a pin valve than an oring

I guess rubber particles from the front cover gasket...

Gasket appears fine, nothing rubs off. corners fragile looking but no leaks yet...

I've been using the NOE sizing system for the last 3 years and just love it.

@ChickenDumpling. Luckily my Crown is very accurate and consistent. Just have to figure the windage hold and the rest was my follow through. Thanks for watching.

I was shooting today and testing some Air Arms Diablo Express 7.87 gr pellets.
And comparing them to the 8.44 JSB Diablo Match.
Last week the 8.44 had much better groups compared to the 7.3gr pellets. But the 7.87 gr Diablo Express would put pellet on top of pellet for three or four of the five shot groups. Then throw one really off high left. It was not consistent but I am sure it was not me.

So next week it is back on the chronograph. I am going to set the power to shoot 7.87 Diablo Express at a high of 400-425 fps. And see if it calms down the flyer. Since I only shoot at the same yardage it should be better.
