In many countries around the world, the European rabbit, Oryctolagus cuniculus is an introduced pest. The above video was filmed in the UK where I believe rabbits are an introduced pest and there is no “bag limit”. European rabbits were introduced into Australia and New Zealand 150 years ago and have multiplied into the millions, and cost the farmers and land owners hundereds of millions of dollars every year.
Hunters and pest controllers are encouraged to shoot them because of the damage they do to crops, fields, gardens, paddocks etc.
I do professional pest control in New Zealand, I get paid to shoot between 200 and 450 rabbits a month.

That muzzle velocity is consistent for a 78g in original configuration. I've run a few of my 78gs across a chrono, and the ones with rebuilt original exhaust valves were 355-370 fps. Those with the white replacement valves were 405-415 fps average. The service manual lists 320 fps as the factory minimum velocity for the first 20 shots from a new CO2 cartridge.

Thank-you sir.

Update.... Umarex sent me the replacement and it fit perfectly. I also took the opportunity to confirm the thread diam. and pitch by purchasing a nut in said thread and it is indeed 3/8-24.

Airgun Revisions is great to deal with, I recently purchased one of his refurbished Akelas and it’s rock solid. I wouldn’t hesitate to purchase another airgun from there!

Air is 78% nitrogen. So you're going to fill it mostly with nitrogen regardless.

Putting in dry air is not a huge mystery, however. I have a second stage of filtration on my YH with the plastic cartridge (inside the aluminum cylinder) filled with color changing dessicant beads. If the beads did not all change color during the fill, the air is dry. If they did, it might be best to vent the tank. I've never had that happen, however. I can fill my 45 minute SCBA tanks at least half a dozen times before I need to change the beads. I got my extra filter and the dessicant from Amazon. There are more expensive ways to do this that I am sure have some advantages but this way is inexpensive, simple, and it works.

I believe that those are the same rifles that Timmy Mac used to train kids with.

Donated by Beeman, they served the purpose quite well. Lots of toy animals, soldiers, and dinosaurs were sent flying by the kids with them. Good times were had and much was learned.

Cheers,

If you consider the Karma Red Panda an AEA, I'll take that bet!

On a serious note, if you look at the list of shooters in the Pro 100Y BR event, it has the feel of a World Championship. I'm just hoping I can make the Finals...

Good luck!
Hope to see you on the podium!

Team Saber/Donny/Karma packing up!

It is the 350mm Picatinny behemoth in the picture above & 450mm reflex behemoth in the video

I have a new Zulus scope and also noticed issues with my iPhone connection. The screen would lock up and the range is terrible. I haven’t tried anything with an Android based operating system. I haven’t setup any profiles yet but I’m really enjoying it otherwise.

Dead link on that page.

This is a 10 shot group @ 15 yards The 1 low and left was the first shot. I rushed it. So I’ll take the blame for it.
Was trying different pellets and this is one it definitely likes.

I ordered some composite type that slide over the picatinny rail and then there are set screws that lock them into place. I got mine on Amazon. They are cheap. I seen last week the same company offers a flip up sight that also can be utilized when folded. Those might be another option.

I don’t understand the shrink wrap tubing on the guide but would like to know about it. I’m near sea level also.

OK if ya have a lot of free play on the piston shaft when its inside the main spring?put the shrink wrap on the shaft will snug it up ,but not tight.lightley grease the out side of the main spring.Ya might have to resize the main seal?should go down the tube with not much pursuer. Mine is one of the frist TX they were probable a little tighter?OK everybody go ahead and haight me.

How was it pressurized/filled with air? Did they carry a hand pump of some sort back then?

Click to expand...

Correct, it would of had a handpump that would screw into the fitting hidden under the buttplate.

When filled, the second shot from the Bosler did 582. Shot three was in the low 500's

Personally, I wish all safeties were like the AR15, push down to fire like the Panthera but with the lever on the left or better yet reversible from left side to right side. At least put it one way and leave it there.

Great shots on both and nice pics!

Thanks, I think I got their mother 2 weeks ago now that I think about it. It was in the same area.

You won’t regret the Atomic even if it’s a little more pricey now

Got my 3622 all sorted out. 2-7x32 with low SM mounts. Crazy winds today but good enough for soup cans. Trigger is the low point but is manageable. Decent first stage and a gritty four pound pull. Going to be a deck gun for sh!t birds on the feeders and can plinking. Would be a great starter PCP for a responsible child or woman.

Oh that looks bad, Got to take a video of it in action, I alway thought a potato gun would be so much better shooting golf balls or tennis balls

It’s just for inflation of tractor and other big tires. Modified bead blaster. Dual duty and safer than starting fluid. I’ve burned myself getting tires seated lol so I speak from experience.

Absolutely fantastic shooting and tune there! That's a LONG way to shoot and even see.... Great pics!

Thanks!!

That plastic ball is ABS can crack or break but cannot disintegrate or grind down to a powder. You better inspect the airpath holes and corners if you can recover any plastic chunks.
I tried the metal "pearl" balls and didn't like it. The plastic ball have a molded counter-bored pocket for the pin spring length and the metal not... meaning you will be compressing that small spring very aggressive - unless clip the spring length for about 1mm (that is about the pocket depth) ...

I mean yes those Northern Ireland sourced AEAs of course …,,

I have them in 177 and 22. I agree they seem well made and were shipped promptly.
