I use both mil and moa scopes. As long as the turret matches the reticle then it is simply a measuring system with graduated clicks.

As far as a big 34mm tube goes, that Marauder is going to be a big top-heavy gun. I'd seriously look into a smaller, lighter scope with the 30mm tube. There's a lot of great quality options out there with that tube size. Also, that is a lot of lower magnification for a medium power and range pellet shooter unless you are only shooting targets off a benchrest.

Have you tried reaching out to Bin Tac or the Pellet Shop? I've seen lots of short AEA air reservoirs but I don't know which models they work on

Any of you boys that own the original Uragan, also own or spend any time shooting a Uragan 2 ?
I looked onto YouTube a little, doesn't seem to be any, "one vs. the other", that I could find. But I did notice that once the stock is removed, the guns actually seem pretty different under the skin.

I just have the curiosity for the possibility of a new gun !

Note - I also used the search function here, and Google a little. Just mostly found a similar question as mine, posted by others. The answers, were mostly not all that relevant about the actual guns.
More about what "stock color did you get" !!! .

Thanks

Mike

Yes, the frames are different on both. I tried fitting an old FORM stock my U2 that used to br on my buddys U1 and it does not fit in the hand grip area. That being said, I've shot his U1 .30 and shooting them feels about the same. There may be a slight shift in balance but not something that's TOO noticeable.

I like that camo job a lot. Nice shooting bench.

These unlucky five fell to the Atomic XR with the Zulus atop tonight 7-20-24, the rats find the combo simply irresistible… I did record some of the kills but haven’t viewed the recordings yet. Was particularly tired so did not stay long.

Is the body of the Schmidt polymer if some sort and the loading port screws out the back of the gun/barrel? That looks like one I had for sure, got it mail order.

Click to expand...

I think mine is die cast metal, I'll have to get it out again & double check. Yes little loading screw at the back.

You are correct Bill it would be lanes 11 - 25 and 1 - 15 , lol, good call

I like to PUNT problems.

Why because number 1 everything is high preasure,two these guns maybe cost between 300 to 500 to build and they sell them between 2000 and and 4000 depending on what you get it wouldnt be hard to make them out of stainless steel or if you really wanna do everyone a solid titanium and i know it can be done because i have seen it done, and another thing i have seen it done in a crappy machine shop with standard machines the people that make these over priced guns have high end cnc machines, but thats just my opinion the world will always be make it as cheap as poss and sell it for the most you can get.

Yes, you have to love Capitalism the most equal method in the world.

Is material cost the only part of the issue?

I worked for Corning Inc, R&D Fiber Optic Micro, the Fiber Optic Glass we used only cost pennies in silicon, but 20 years invested in the process to get the purity required and how to make the index of refraction mismatch work for long haul telecommunication, plus the equipment and measurement systems that needed to be invented. Good thing it was only pennies for the silicon.

Not tying to be an ***, and I have a CNC mill in my garage as well as two lathes (wood and metal), but there is way more to any product than just material cost.

I also have two patents on a product I hope to launch soon, part cost for raw materials is only $20ish bucks, buy time its molded into a usable shape, well that price has to go up.

Smitty

Nine shooters showed up this morning for a sunny, breezy, really switchy day. Yikes, most of us struggled with the conditions, plus X counts were lower than normal. JoeF stated he went through a whole tin of pellets. New Brandon joined us in Factory and Matt and Keith made the long trip here. Bob reached his limits and is still shooting Sportsman with his pellet rifle.

Overall great day with great company but crappy scores other than Dennis' RAW.
Yeah, I know crappy graphics, I'll fix it later

It feels good to get a little range time and sling some lead!!!! Groups look good...Keep your barrel clean and.keep.up.the good work

Thanks that's one of the first things I do when I get home is clean the barrel with ballistol soaked patches.

Maybe "Nate" will be able to do another one like with the Beta Model.

He should or someone should.
It’s a great design and concept. I like it’s looks, size and weight ( although shorter would be welcomed … you hear that MCavity ?)

But as always no matter how well featured accuracy is king. I am not yet sold on that point. I want to be proven wrong …..

you could do something like this , might be cheaper to buy a safe with the price of 2x4's

Thank you. I will give these setting a try.

And, in addition to enlarging your transfer port, you'll want to enlarge (drill out) the valve opening as well...

It would probably be expensive to built a functional replica, but if someone produced it, I would probably find a way to own one.

Michael, can we be friends? Lets see ... Texas, vacation leave, pack up the Hiker trailer, convince the wife, find pet setters, leave teenagers alone ... maybe best to save up for one!

Whenever people come to visit I try to offer them a variety of different airguns to try. Most of the time they migrate towards the L2. Likely for its: size, weight, length, balance, semi-auto, and overall fun to shoot.

thank you, love these rifles, looking for one that will shoot pellets and slugs around 60 to 150 yds.
have my eye on the FX king 25 cal. looked at AA s510 but other members say not great at long distance. daystate looks ok but you can't tweak it .
I have patience and don't mind slug frustration, rather spend for quality and get it tuned to my liking. any recommendations greatly appreciated.

Light attendance for our Friday N50 match. Conditions were very favorable, but results were not as good as they should have been. I was hit by some radical flyers.

High grade oil in important in any hot process, and these pumps generate a lot of heat!

Nice

I think most agree, side lever or underlever leave little to gain over a quality break barrel. My untuned HW30s always shoots to the same point of impact, and shoot as good as my Tuned HW77K. My R10 shoots just as good tuned by the same tuner.

Buy a proven quality rifle be it underlever, side lever, or barrel breaker, locking breach or detent, and you'll find the only differance, is the guy pulling the trigger.

That little HW30s will shoot better for me when shooting all of the offhand. The 54 Diana,,,, is untouchable off a rest!

Just apples and oranges, both can be better at different times, your the deciding factor.

The most important thing is knowing what alloy you want anodized. The process is different for 6061 and 7075 for instance. Surface prep will be taken care of buy the first step which is an acid bath. Then you have to decide how much buildup you desire. Typically 0.001 penetration and 0.001 is enough for something like an air gun.

Check out the Westhunter scopes on Amazon. They have a lot of choices at reasonable prices. You can get them with or without illumination, FFP or SFP, and different sizes. This is my favorite: WestHunter Optics WHT SFIR FFP Series Compact Competition Riflescope, 1/10 MIL First Focal Plane Red Illumination Etched Glass Reticle, 30mm Tube Tactical Precision Shooting Scopes https://a.co/d/bswWWl8
I love the recticals on these. I've replaced all of my front bell AO scopes with this brand and haven't been happier.

Hey Fire, do you have experience with a shorter FX barrel (like about the size of the standard formfactor) on the Notos? Especially my sons Notos has some strange flyers with the Umarex barrel, (while the other shots in a group are a small ragged single hole) and he is (understandably) not very happy about it. We ruled out many possibilities, so maybe a different barrel eliminates the flyers alltogether...

If you bump up the power it should shoot great without a new barrel I think to save money I am just going to stick with it how it is and I like the compactness killing out to 100 9/10 times
