That factory warranty is worth something....

I don't often shoot "hunting pellets" but metal mags expand from my Prod which can't get them going 700 fps. Reduces penetration a lot so I just use domed for squirrels.

Was looking for an extremely backyard friendly, cheap, low power .22 with a focus on "QUIET" for chipmunks/squirrels/Sparrow/Starling within 30 yards. H&N FTT 14.66 and Crosman Premier Domed impact approximately 1MOA higher than the Polymags, so they'll be an option as well. the Field target trophy gave me a roughly nickel sized hole through 40 shots from a Gamo arrow.

I bought a Beeman Chief 2 .22 and a Gamo Arrow, . Surprisingly the Arrow came out on top. Very nearly silent, 40 shots+ from a tiny cylinder, shockingly small spread, and beyond satisfactory accuracy in a Short, seemingly weightless package. Sent the Chief 2+ back this morning.

Has anyone tried these gimmicky looking pellets/slugs yet? I ran across them online and was intrigued by them. They are a little too long to fit any of my mags so I single loaded a few of them. Can't remember which rifle I used but I think it was my Crown Mkii. Started to rain as I tried to gather data on them so no numbers or group sizing yet. Seems like rain in the forecast here for the next few days as well. Guess we will have to wait and see......View attachment 563534View attachment 563533

@JungleShooter Dunno. Could be that there is a higher demand for the Mil variant. I’ll try to remember to keep you in mind if I see anything around $600. Not a lot came up in a quick search.

I APPRECIATE your help!
Thank you!!

I'm replacing the regulator on an Avenge-X. 25. When I un screwed the old regulator I noticed this shinny slightly rough spot circled in red in the attached picture. Could that spot cause problems?

Nobody has one of these to check pull weight?

I use old rugs for a backstop,in front of the rugs I place cardboard and tape my target to.There is a 8-10" gap between the cardboard and the rugs.Now since I have to make sure it is dead quieted I going to put sides around it....my backstop is 3ft by about 5ft.
I have plywood behind the rugs,fact is a use mulit rugs and it is safe.

I’ve had one of these for years, I use it as a backup scope. Whenever I get it out, I’m surprised at how good it is for the money.

I dropped a couple of sparrows last weekend with my .177 cal Marauder. From where I sat, the pellet impact was alarmingly loud compared to the report of the gun. All I heard was a soft *ping* from the gun. Makes it my go-to gun for morning coffee in the garden.
I have to turn the power way down on my .177 cal DreamTac to be as quiet, and it still needs a moderator as the shroud provides no "hush" at all. Best I've found so far is a BuckRail modular modertor. I won't tell you it is quieter than anything else, but it's as good as my DonnyFL Tanto. But it does change the way the shot sounds. More like dropping a 2x4 on the floor.

I emptied the magazine of BBs a couple of times today and was actually able to compress the spring enough to latch the follower back with just my fingers.

Thanks Rick! Great match along with another Rochester windfest training session!

ready for what
i believe a practiced Weaver Stance would do the job just as well
less chance of you getting all tied up

The point is to replicate the stabilizing effect of a stock without actually adding the bulk, weight or attachment points necessary for a stock. A Weaver stance may be excellent for defensive pistol shooting, but it can't match the stability of a weapon with a stock. It's also not a method you would typically use from a sitting or kneeling position or even with a large pistol like a prod.

Thanks, totally missed it in that format.

Nice kits Scott!
I have that same Pard with the range finder. I like it a lot. It’s great that you got a good deal on it, I bought mine when they first came out, it was $1000. It makes regular scopes seem like old tech.

I'm going to buy the 3 liter Tuxing tank and the two gauge valve with the added fill fitting. The extra gauge is not needed and the added fill fitting remains an unknown quantity but, what the heck have I got to lose - and I might learn something.

I just put one on my 3l. I like 'em in part because they're easy to throttle your fill rate...

Ya need to tighten up on that top right target! I know that must have felt good.

Yeah, a little off on that one. I’m still amazed how close they are with the subconscious centering through the drilled lens front aperture.

If the breach blew up I'm sure it would have been all over the Internet. Maybe you meant the magazine blew up, which I've heard of. But way less dangerous than a exploding breach. That one guy on yt shot a fully filled aea airtube with a AR, he was standing only like 20 feet away and narrowly survived but that doesn't count.

Absolutely love mine!

I was surprised when the mag in my new ghost won’t let you close the bolt when empty non of my other mags do that.

Perfect! Thank you!

I expect different things from different guns. The Crosmans from when I was a kid? Had a ball shooting them and still do. I don’t expect 1” groups at 100 yards or even 25. My 10 meter guns, yes I expect more accuracy when used as intended but that’s what they were made to do. In between I expect certain performance levels as long as I do my part. I came to realize in other types of competition that I had to do the work but still had to enjoy it. If I’m not getting both it’s basically a waste of time, money, effort and equipment.
