Wouldn't the height over bore of the scope play a factor in this as most people's scopes are not at the same height?

Good thought! I hadn’t considered that yet! This is 100% a work in progress, so I thank you and everyone else for throwing out ideas!

Would like to buy your 2021 or newer .25 K1.
Thanks,
Norris

I shot this at 20 yards w a hw30 .177 using CPHP 7.9 and FX 10.3 pellets. Both went through the 7.9 did more damage possibly. Around 7 fpe.

@caliusoptimus What is your reason for increasing the twist rate?

At first I didn't have one. Just got a few blanks in both twist rates to see what happens. Now that I've played with it a bunch, I don't think the rattler needs a 20 twist. The 26 has stabilized every slug I've tried.

One of my other projects slings 357 slugs over 350fpe... and my long boat tail slugs absolutely need 1-20 twist to stabilize at those speeds.

Just get an appropriate tank. I know SCBA tanks are expensive but what are your life and limbs worth?
I cringe every time I see posts about using tanks made for other applications. HPA air is dangerous stuff when proper vessels, fittings and procedures are not used.

I know a guy over six feet tall who likes an LOP of 12.5" on a PB. Be Well, 'dito.

I think a 600 or 700 barrel length is good as you will probably have longer range shots "down under" then a lot of us in the states for your pests. I do have a couple of guns that I take when pesting to meet the need. But if you are to start out with one and do this for a living you definitely want accuracy and reliability at the top of your want list! Next, look for "adjustability" so you can go into areas that are more confined that need lower powered shots to not harm the backstop - barn, roof, etc. Also, you may want a lightly choked barrel that will let you shoot both pellets and slugs as needed (or a gun that lets you swap out barrels as needed so now you have one gun and more options according to the job). As a rule you will find that most shoot pellets under 100m and then move to slugs for accuracy and stopping power. Good luck and the pesting is a lot of fun! I wish I could get paid for it! Truth be known, I'd pay to get rid of them but I don't tell the farmers!

What gun is this on? Harmonics can cause an issue also.

It is unclear whether or not this is airgun related. Thread is being locked because there is no context. Some of the comments are out of line and may be issued warnings.

@dens228 Oh ok I was way off. Anyhow, glad it worked out. It all comes with hunting. Thanks for sharing.

@Sky King, have been shooting as received from AOA. I primarily plink and pest sub 50 yards with Crosman Premier Hollow Points. For serious target work or pesting over 60 yards JSB Exact Jumbo 18.13s

Great video Mike. I had a great time calling for the KYL stage. I'll see you at RMAC.

Thanks John. You did a great job calling shots too!

Hector couldn't turn up any info or leads unfortunately other then agreeing with me that the rifles were probably limited in production to 1,000 examples. The diana factory has not even contacted me back (a little upset by that) but hopefully they will. SOMEONE had to have bought one of these new back in '99.....anyone remember the sales potch on how many were going to be made? I'd like to clear this up for the future, when another one pops up?and the same questions are being asked again.

Does anyone know where I can get the Norica NATS-745 trigger group? I am aware it is not a direct fit to this rifle, but would like to see if it's possible with some modification. A nice 2 stage adjustable trigger would sort out the last of the issues I have with this set up.

I keep a free-range flock of theses for just this occasion! Lol in Nebraska they are a invasive species but have to have a hunting license, not sure why but guess it's in case a morning dove is mistaken.

What's the furthest shot you ever hit on target. Could be a target or a animal. I only use sub 12ftlb air rifles so don't see the true power and potential of these air rifles and air guns. Maybe the uk guys using FAC air rifles and USA guys using your unlimited power & anyone else can tell me what the longest shots you've ever taken and your favourite rifles to use. Springer or pcp or co2.

I hope you mean every day type shots , something routinely done ,not setting up and shooting a basically one time endeavor , those are just for fun with not any meaningful conclusion .
