If it is a 7/8X14 thread it should be a #116.

I see that reg needs a Hella bunch more shots to break in. Otherwise, that gun kicks azz!!!! I would love to see more. Gun has got to get better as it breaks in.

I got mine from them. Fast shipping and nice guy.

I don't see why you need to buy a foster fitting from FX directly or indirectly. I would measure the thread pitch and diameter and buy one that matches that (so you can screw it on). I would not be afraid of Amazon for this but I might also buy a "better brand" one at the same time. I have had the "cheap" one actually work better before when I've done this, however. I would be frustrated too if they showed up right after a re-ring job but it doesn't have to be something they did wrong either. It seems arbitrary why PCPs leak.

Team scoring. Very interesting.

With airgun comps being individual scoring, I've wondered about the existence of "teams" as anything but political and/or marketing entities.

Now all those teams have an actual competition at which to be a team.

Enjoy it as is, or Ebay it. I don't want to be a killjoy or put words in other people's mouths, but I remember reading one of the most talented airgun tuners say that Logun was one of the hardest airguns to work on. Eventually all these things need work, so...

Good rings that tighten with a 1/2” nut are far more repeatable when removing and remounting than any of the cantilever type QR rings.

if you want a fixed ring, with added inclination, the Burris Signature rings with inserts are a great way to get another 20moa without the added Murphy attractant of “adjustable” rings.

I watched the epic 2 video shooter1721 put out and that gun looks super interesting. I am also curious to see evo vids. I own an epoch .25. I do like the gun and it is super accurate. The only annoyances I have with it are I’m not able to achieve as low of ES as my fx rifles no matter what I do. However the accuracy is great when I do my part out to 75. You also hear and feel that bigger valve in my opinion. Not as smooth a shooter as my m3 was. Like you I don’t get what’s going on with the .30 cal being gone? The good thing is Skout is right in PA. However, I will say their service and response was great out of the gate but they haven’t answered the last two emails I’ve sent about buying just a liner instead of a caliber change kit and one about lowering ES. A bit of a question up in the air for me about CS at this point too.

Nice shooting, will eventually get myself a 30 cal. Not for chipmunks though lol.

I really wouldn't use the BC calculator if it is still the old constant Cd ref one, at higher speeds it is hopelessly inaccurate. Better to use Chairgun or EasyBC.

Well,... last nights total,....
Four Rats and one Mouse. It was a busy evening.

This is a pair of images, screen captures, from last night, and are from the same single 10min file.

The Rat started the file. Then, at around 6 minutes into the file came critter two, an Owl

Me vs. My Owl






The video starts with the Rat.
At apprx. 21sec, the Owl appears from the left. It immediately bags a beetle-like insect, eats it, then looks around, and then flies off. It missed the Rat by mere seconds. There were no pauses or breaks in the vid timeline.

Call AoA. They are the nationally recognized service center for Daystate. They are great to work with.

Glad you got your problem solved; but we all need a set of calipers.

You posted about an issue, about which you have been given some excellent advice from some very knowledgeable people - but apparently you don't care for that advice so want to "close out" the issue and for people to leave it alone. That is your choice to make, but it all sounds very familiar . . . .

If I recall correctly, this is like your third or fourth different compressor, all of which you thought were great until they stopped working properly, with posts like this one involved. Maybe the issue is not the compressors? I recall that this same pattern happened with some air guns too . . .

Anyways, good luck, and I hope it all works out. Peace.

Whatever bro... have a good day... all my big bores work perfectly btw..

I have an older Royale 500 & 400
Both are exceptional shooters
And both use a magazine design that is common to the Independence/Indy, and perhaps other FX models,
Do the newly manufactured Royales use the same magazine?
Curious with purpose!

I believe so. I'm pretty sure it's the same as those used in the Bobcat as well.

Please make sure that the rings on the huma are in place in order, also sometimes the reg takes some time to break in

I direct fill my pcp to 250 BAR, 0.3 liter, but always use a filter... large Tuxing... see picture. I did buy a 1.6 liter bottle... Orcair from Amazon so I can extend my range time. It is DOT certified and I am satisfied with it. I use the CS3 and attached the external power to the compressor. Takes under 25 min to refill the tank, or under 10 for direct fill. I have 11 hrs to date on the compressor and no issues. Bought the extended warranty from Amazon, just to cover the bases.

I did the same thing as woogie-man. some USB battery packs are too hot, but most will work fine.

I try not to do business with them either. This has caused issues in other industries. SKOUT's sister company (DLX/SP) will NOT let you be a dealer unless you have an actual storefront.
If a manufacturer let's everyone sell their products online... then there is no reason to have a storefront. If there are no storefronts, you have issues like threads on here, where guys are complaining there are no storefront around for them to try/handle gear. Future potential sales may be lost.

Agreed thoroughly!
And would like to add that if you don’t have a storefront. And your whole marketing scheme is is managed from a virtual space. You can’t provide any physical help through a customer with a problem.
The day I want a virtual gun is one I’ll go by a virtual Seller
Until then, I’m knocking on your door

Copying my own writing from another air gun forum:

Just got mine yesterday. Factor Sniper L .25.

After playing it for a few hours I am very pleased at this point with the gun.

I have owned a FX impact a few years ago so i have a good but pricewise unfair product to compare by memory.

A few points:

-Quiet energy system. It,s not really a quiet gun even when shooting low energy levels. A lot noisier than bt65 with added hatsan silencer. I added a hatsan silencer and now it’s quiet when double silenced.

-Power is ”only” going to about 85 fpe so not advertised 115 fpe but i will try heavier pellets or slugs. Maybe i get more with those. This 85 fpe was with jsb heavy 33,95 gr.

-Quality and functioning is ofcourse not on same level as fx guns but still good i think.
No crappy plastic used other than in the butt stock and that is nice plastic.

-Butt stock is VERY adjustable and sturdy. I got it in good adjusments. Nice quality plastic and finish is good. Manufacturing tolerances and amount of slop seems great when talking about hatsan. Very little slop in any adjustment point.

-Metal work is nice by hatsan standards. Not perfect but still nice to watch any part of the gun.

-Regulator adjustment seems to work well and seems to react systematicly to chrono results going up or down.

-trigger actually very good. On the heavy side out of the box but i will try to lighten it. Crisp functioning and trigger blade as nice as in fx guns. I have AA CD and HW Rekord triggers to compare and this is not bad.

-accuracy test done only about 20m and no problems there. Seems accurate. Zero flyers or else.

-cocking lever is very sloppy. Up/down movement about 10mm . I will try to add washers in when moving it from right to left side. Lever linkage manufactured hatsan style by welding three stamped sheet metal parts together. Works but ugly to watch.

-cocking cycle a bit crunchy but i will see if it needs deburring as hatsans always does.



So far very happy with this!
