I'm setting mine up to be able to pop squirrels with Hades @40yds right now. Hoping to be able to stretch its legs more at a relative's hunting lease soon. 50+ yards would be a nice change of pace.

Your Ghost will be simply? Capable… at 50+++ yards… Put it to the test and post up.

Interesting. Nothing has changed on any of my computers. Same screen view I have always had.

@BABz58 That’s what I thought. I’ve dealt with @humbled.ag in the past and in my experience he is a consummate professional. Thanks for the clarification.

Not so, I have a Burris pistols scopes that have adjustable AO and there are others , another thing, I have no problem shooting 30 yds with non-adjustable AO ,one more thing ,there are scopes called scout scopes that fit in front of a rifle that may also work ;ak the Cooper scout scope.

I should have said AO down to 10 yards as i do a lot of 10 meter targets. even 15 yards Parallax

For the most part with my M3 700 mm barrel, 25 cal I shoot RMR slugs at 988 and get very tight accuracy. Then one day I'll have 3/4 inch groups at 35 yards and I'll be wondering what's going on. The next day back to tight groups again.
My pellets are spot on every time.
It's hard to beat that thud sound of slugs expanding in a pest though.

That sound of thud motivates me to persist in tuning for slug, no matter how frustrating it can sometimes be. Nonetheless, it's good to hear that I'm not alone.

Just an update on what I have done since that last session:

- Applied on the hammer adjuster screw a bit of purple Loctite. Just in case the hammer strike backed out the hammer screw.
- I changed the hammer spring with the tougher Huma's to give it more power because I feel my 12-gram hammer weight and the original FX spring have maxed out at the set reg pressure, around and about 140ish bar.
- I filled up the gun to 200 Bar and am currently waiting to see if there's any sign of reg creep and leaks.

I will tune the gun again soon.

Wish me luck!

Thanks for the reply! That’s what I thought at first but this was a new reg, well lubricated and installed carefully.
I forgot one important detail- I had put a 11 gram hammer weight installed ( over the old 7 gram). I know this will probably keep the valve open a bit longer( with the same spring). But, didn’t think it could not be overcome by ihs and power wheel.
Maybe I’m wrong!!
Gonna try the old hammer first (or maybe get a stronger spring??
Thoughts?

You just named your problem.
You installed a hammer weight that is 36+% heavier.
In a 22 compact the stock hammer will do anything you need to do with 16 & 18 gr pellets. I had to put a 25 cal weight in to shoot the 25.39 though.
Also, with those lighter pellets I would stay with the pellet port and not use the slug port on the air inlet.

Selling my Weihrauch HW44K .177 PCP Air Pistol in Excellent condition for $499 but price is negotiable. It’s had less than 100 rounds shot with it. I’m selling it because the area I live in doesn’t have enough pests or game to make it worth it. I'm in the Los Angeles California area. It comes with everything in the original box, and accessories. DM me your offers. I accept Paypal goods and services with established users on the forum. Otherwise, PayPal Friends and family or CashApp is requested.

I have three Weirauch rifles, HW-30 .177 cal., HW-80K .20 cal., and HW-95 in .22 cal., also have a Gen-1 GAMO Swarm Bone Collector in .22, a Hatsan mod. 95 in .22 cal. and two Box Store specials (actually purchased at Midway USA) on sale for under a hundred dollars on sale) one is a Ruger Impact Max Elite in .22 cal., the other is a Grosman Vantage NP in .177 cal., also have several Pneumatic pumpers and one modified Co2 Crosman Carbine.
All have turned out to be great air rifles, the Weirauch rifles speak for themselves, as for my box store specials (Budget priced rifles) both came with junk bundle scopes and both had horrible triggers, the triggers were easily modified to under two pounds and smooth using U-Tube video tutorials, and the optics were swapped out with mid priced variable scopes (Hawk and Leapers), of the two the Ruger has been a reliable and fun back yard plinker, but the Grosman Vantage NP is a veritable Gem, reliability and accuracy is right up there with my Weirauch rifles, not as pretty of course but it's been a real performer, it's also fairly light weight, minute of squirrel accurate out to 35 yds. and with heavier weight pellets gives about 17 FPE, plenty good enough for small game harvesting or handling garden pests.
So yes, in my humble opinion you can find decent quality very accurate and reliable budget priced air rifles at Big Box stores, just read the reviews and be prepared to do a bit of trigger work and replace the junk scopes that come with the bundle offers.

This looks like a sweet gun. By the time I get the gun, pump, and optics, I think I’m going to be outside of my budget. Probably looking for a piston gun to keep things simple if possible. I will also have to use a scope as those dang house sparrows are tiny little dudes! Thank you for the reply

Firewalker is on the money with the Notos recommendation. I've only had mine for a week or so...but so far very impressive (and I have FX also) for the price point. There's an supplier that has a Notos on sale for $206.99!! WOW...I paid $260 for mine. I've shot several 1/4" groups at 25 yds. To my way of thinking, the Notos is about perfect. Start with a handpump if cost is a consideration. As for a springer (if that is your cup of tea), look at a Beeman r7. Comes wirh a match trigger for around $400. I've had one for years and it is very accurate on small critters to 25 yds or so. Takes some time to learn to shoot it accurately...but that's no different than most springers. Best of luck on your decision. 20PPC

I should have got out earlier. Temp rose quick today.

Yes it did. I was out rebuilding a bigger/better backstop and noticed all the action. It was hard to get them to stay put for a shot. I could've hit bag limit in my yard today if they'd have cooperated.

Mediocre is subjective.

I only fool with old springers I find interesting.

I think the issue of mediocrity is people expect too much out of things, thinking that if they spend more money "it just HAS to get better, right!?!?"

Is it really mediocre or are you just disappointed in your purchase?

Click to expand...

You got a point. Expectations have a 100% to do with this

Tom is currently building some Diana EMS guns with his adjustable gas ram and custom aluminum shrouded barrel liners! It's a completely barrel swap to a 1:14 twist precision barrel! Not sure if the bionic piston is part of the deal.

carnavor 357 ,shooting rest

How’d you get my gun?!! Kindly forward it to me, thank you

@pyramydair I could care less. If you want to make it interesting, have him eat a ghost pepper for each $2000 purchase. Or maybe hit him with some bear spray. Adventures in Recreation right?

Very doable I think ! I have done it on accident shooting in the rain.

Hello,
Looking for a .22 Benjamin Marauder Pistol in good to like new condition & reasonably priced. Extras would be nice. ;-)

I tried a couple of the for sale listings on this site, but got no replies.

Location: upstate New York.

Thanks!
Mike

Selling my perfect little Ranger. She’s all stock and as she came from AOA about one year ago. I haven’t touched a thing on it. Shot maybe 200 rounds. Selling to pay for another gun (can’t have my cake and eat it too) Comes with what you see. Asking $1100 shipped PayPal f&f.

Got a link to the USME? Am curious, doesn't seem to be much info available.

Acronym for Umarex Surge Max Elite. But here is the official link: https://www.umarexusa.com/2251318

Goes just like in the pics with some .jsb .25 included. Rifle has ,Huma reg, and original, 2 magazines, fill probe and varmint scope.

Does anyone have a fx folding stock adaptor for the Dreamline Tactical they would like to sell?

Thanks,
Kevin

Thank you. Odd little rifle (mainly because I am more of a traditional airgun person). Took me a minute to get my head around the inline valve, pellet weight and dwell. People seem to know something is different in the valve/set up between the 2 but you are the 1st to explain, really appreciate that, AND pictures! Pictures (old school eh?) are great.

Nothing wrong with the way it is & groups great at 75 yards just not many shots. An absolute prefect rig - this one even has a decent trigger- for it's intended purpose. Only took 6 shots for 7 marmots. Being on very little social security and it being our only .25 pretty torn between making it something different or letting it go for some light weight .177 or .22 we could shoot a lot more.

Appreciate your time.

John

Try a lube on them. Might be just the ticket
