My old FX chrono will occasionally give a ghost reading, but it is extremely rare.
and it will also some times for unknown reasons go into what i call doublefire mode, this mean it give out the speed of a shot 2 times.
My phone for some reason will also always try to start up 2 FX chrono APPs, i overcome this by letting the FX APP ask for permission to turn on bluetooth.
But the doublefire thing will still happen suddenly, but it is then rare.

The new V2 chrono now mine CUZ we swapped, well on my friends rifle it will at times bark out 4-5-6 ghost shots for no apparent reason, and it will also some times give you a extremely low speed reading even if the shot is good and hit where it is supposed to hit, so pretty sure it is not a duble load.

But that is on my friends DRS, on my TWO and Maverick it seem to work just fine.


PS: you can delete shots in a string, use list instead of graph display and then swipe left on the reading you want to delete.


Tomorrow i will put the FX V2 chrono head to head with my new Buckchrono.

thanks, to sad that taipan doesn't provide that info

Yes, I emailed them and they only responded with the 700mm 72cc plenum volume without answering the 550mm plenum volume. One would have to measure the plenums spacer volume to figure that out.

Yes to shirts and prime rib.

What I have heard is that you can only swap among .22 and .25, not with .30 Cal.

Barrel and Magazine are needed.

I just picked one from Amazon. Be sure to relax it to zero when not in use. The one above should work fine.

Thanks for the info. What type of grease did you use for the gun?

Click to expand...

I used paintball marker grease, which is less thick and sticky than regular gun grease. But you could also use silicon oil (the stuff people use to lube o-rings) or even balistol if need be. You don't have to soak it. A light coating will do. Just enough to reduce some of the friction.

@Cheplicki The 300 grainers look like they pair well with that gun. I have a question. Around 8:22 mark you mentioned using a similar Mr. Hollow Point 333 grain hollow point in your Bushbuck. Is your Bushbuck not a .452? Since the Netvor is a .458 I thought that odd unless your're odering those in .452 for the Buck. Is it the same grain weight in .452 as well? Thanks for an honest-looking ammo test.

he makes a .452 333gr that looks the same as the .458 333gr they look the same but the hollow point in a little different

The stock barrel seems relegated to those larger head diameter .177s , at least in the first gen iterations anyway ( from what I’ve read and heard and experienced )

Sorry, wanted to clarify the 125. The 125 is what the first regulator is set at. The second regulator is set at 90.

Ok I missed that part, I run my 1st reg at 145 or so, you want the pentium to fill quickly unless you are shooting really slow, If the 90 is working then start playing with your HSA and check your speeds, you might be very close right now, just very very small adjustments will get it nailed. You can tell if you are close by dropping down to say 4 does your speed drop a bunch or stay the same, if the same then your HSA is a bit too high, i.e. out too far.

I’ve had this rifle since 2010.
( .177 Mrod )
It likes 4.53 / 4.52 pellets. A Lot ! It shoots JSb 10.3 and HN 10.65

On a whim I tried JSb knockout slugs in 10.03
Oh boy what a surprise !

Anyone else have any luck with Marauders and slugs ?

Ok.. off to EBay…

Do you bleach them white or paint them?

For "important" mounts I remove what oils I can with naphtha and bleach the skull in a peroxide/water bath. Drying/curing in direct sunlight helps to give a natural "bone" color... as expected.

For quick mounts (raccoon skulls and such) I'll mask protect the teeth - remove them, apply tape or a masking fluid (used in watercolor painting) - then spray with an automotive primer before finishing with a paint of choice. Some people like a smooth shiny "plastic" look, others prefer matt or semi-gloss finish.

Lots of ways to do the mounts.

Cheers!

Yes pellets are very different in their desire for velocity. The newer long range slugs have round noses and do prefer a slower speed though

You said it yourself, results will speak for themselves. That said, it'll vary dependent upon intended use, application, and or range. There's certainly an argument to made for purpose and place of either, though

Congrats, great price! As a PSA, if you are a veteran or first responder, Expert Voice and Govx offer great deals on Vortex and other optics

I used expert voice to purchase a Nightforce ATACR and saved $700!

I'm really glad to read of your joy with the Leopard!

Thanks for sharing it!

I usually shoot .22, have a couple and don't need another. There's a small chance that a .25 Leopard may find a home here.

Cheers!

Don't doubt it. You will be VERY happy !!

Here you can dowload the owner’s manual:

I mowed and did a lot of weed whacking and got some shooting in on Monday after work…

I took my .22 Talon with 18 inch barrel, AliExpress tophat, Trajectron 95gr hammer and heavy spring and set the Huben Power Cricket MAX-ATH to 200 bar.
.22 JTS 25.39 at 1097FPS

The 50CC plenum on that regulator makes a lot more power

There are a few of us in the mountains to the west, but I don't know anyone in your area.

If you click on "Members" above, there's a pop-down menu with a member map. That might help.

Cheers,

Thx J- ... how far West? We head over to the Elijay, GA area from time to time for vacation. Beautiful country out there.

Also, thx for the Members map reference ... what a great resource!

Looking like most of the morning is going to be rain free

My idea of getting lucky has nothing to do with airguns!
