I would not say lubing the barrel improves grouping much at all.

In my experience, lapping and polishing a barrel improves accuracy, waxing slows fouling.

@Firewalker sorry. I made a mistake. I was trying to say that it's waxing of the slugs that I suspect to contribute most to accuracy improvement. Not waxing the barrel. But cleaning the barrel gives me a peace of mind.

I see CA has a Fox squirrel season , Here in KY i don't hear much about the big reds . Like they are to tough to eat or something ? When i was a kid we used to pass on the grays and only shoot the big reds . We would Filet the meat off and chop it very fine and make "burgers " for lunch .

@beerthief Fox squirrel meat is chewy to me in comparison to gray squirrels. I don’t particularly care for it. Bigger animals with more meat though.

After the shooting is over , i find most of the competitors come over to see what i am shooting . Local gun club and i shot .22 bench rest with them for a few competitions .

oh i didnt know

Never thought about that.
Perhaps . half of a point for every 10 feet in distance and
1 whole point for a hit but no cut, and 5 points for a cut string .
So for 33' = 16.5 points ( distance) + 1 point for a hit string (17.5)
And if its a clean cut it would be 21.5 points. And try for an even score when done shooting... And perhaps a set number of rounds for each test say 25

Maybe start out with one point for the attempt ?

Hey I had the RTI profit performance with the LW long range barrel with the 1:32 twist. I traded for it and it took me s week trying to get rid of that extremely annoying noise it made when fired. I can't say much about that barrel because I like to shoot slugs. I was told it had the RPB barrel in it but that was a lie. I looked into getting the 600mm .22 RPB Barrel kit but was either sold out at the time or I wasn't willing to pay the almost $700 or atleast something close to that for barrel change kit. Ultimately I ended up do a trade that allowed me to pick up a New P3 in .22 with the RPB Barrel. That gun has been an absolute joy to shoot. Although it's said to shoot both pellets and slugs equally well I haven't shot too many pellets through it. As fat as modifications I added the two plenum extensions, the lower arca rail, a Saber Tactical grip and recently picked up the carbon fiber 50mm hush moderator. I haven't been able to take it out to a range and test groups at 50 or 100 yards. However I have been putting a lot of slugs through it shooting birds on my property. My P3 with the 600mm RPB Barrel with the 1:16 twist w/ a light choke does very well with the Varmint Knocker .217 28gr FB-XL-HP SLUGS. That's with my reg set between 150 and 160. For example and yes it was kinda cheating because I used the Pard NVOO8S LRF and of course I didn't record this shot but I smashed a wood pecker that was 145 yards away. It was halfway up the side of a very tall palm tree as well. If you want to get even more shots you can tune it down and shoot the .217 22gr DB-XL-HP Varmint knockers also. Other slugs that I personally favor are Griffin Airgun Ammo. These specific ones are a bit pricey for a tin of 200 at $32 but they are one of my favorites he makes in .217 and I'm pretty sure he also makes them in .218. It's the 24gr XR/Hunter/LCD. LDC stands for low density core. It's a rebated boat tail slugs with I assume some kind of polymer ball in the core of the slug. Those things along with a lot of his ammo shoot great. The LDC allows you to get maximum expansion even at lower speeds, but they do just fine over 1000fps. I would highly recommend trying both the Varmint Knocker and the Griffin slugs if you have the 600mm LW RPB Barrel in .22cal. With that said I'm now salivating over the new PCP that they are going to release Mora, specifically in .357 as I have never has a .357 and that gun, to me at least is a dream gun. Just have to dig up $2,400.00 roughly to purchase it lol. I hope this helps you out a little.

I am still in process of learning how many clicks should I give to the vertical turret at diverse distance.

Just use some ballistic calculator - if you have an android phone - try the Strelok Pro - i think the best app for ballistic !
If you use Element scope - you can download the Element app to your phone.. Or use the Chairgun elite.

There are many such apps !
Some are paid, but it's worth spending some money for them !

have any you guys had the allen set on the valve leak brand new texan aired it up thought seal on tank was bad replaced that come to find out its the hole with the copper bursh disk was leaking i teflon taped it up and re stalled i think its holding i pretty shure i had same problum on my talon also

@AlabamaLarry Glad you got it sorted out.

As a person who shoots two “old” CZ200’s, I like the ability to find information that just doesn’t come around anymore. The forum is a resource for information, it’s on the reader to conduct due diligence. Deleting valuable information is a detriment to the community.

I also have new AG’s and don’t feel they have a priority over older stuff.

If you can find it used I would add the Walther LGU to your list. Was available in wood or synthetic.

Or the Diana 430 for lightweight woods walker.

Love the look. But that P1 is second to none. Crow

Rizz01 said:

I have. It sucks. You may max out your scope because the gun is so underpowered. It was meant to be a 40 yd gun for backyard plinking. Buy something better. If you know someone who is interested, I will give them mine, just pay postage. Hopefully that will help you.

I've shot my Barra 1100z gen 1 in 22 cal out to 150 yards with 1 inch MOA with the Gamo Rockets 14.5 grain hunting pellets. Not a problem. I've now got the Barra 1100z gen 2 in 25 cal which has a internal regulator. If you want to you can pull the regulator out to adjust for more power. I spoke with Leo at Barra which sent me step by step instructions on how to turn the regulator up and is as followed in instructions below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
How to turn the regulator power up
with the Barra 1100z gen 2 in 22 / 25 cal
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The easiest way to get to the regulator is to first degas the gun. Once the gun has been degased insert the fill probe into fill port and use it as a tool to unscrew the fill assembly. Take care to be gentle with the o-rings as you remove and later reinstall this. Now you need to make a tool to pull the regulator out. The regulator has M15 - 1.5 threads on the end. By epoxying the nut with that same thread on the end of a metal rod ( using all thread ) and make a handle on the other end you can make a retrieval tool to pull the regulator. Insert the retrieval tool down the end of the air tube and carefully thread it on the end of the regulator taking care not to cross thread. Now pull the regulator out. Again taking care as the o-rings pass through the threaded end of the tube. Now that you've got the regulator out it can be adjusted. Begin by loosing the lock nut. To increase pressure use a flathead screwdriver to increase power turn the adjuster screw counterclockwise not more than 20 - 30 degrees at a time and to decrease pressure to the regulator turn the adjustment screw clockwise. Now reassemble as it was and from there testing with a chronograph is the name of the game. Follow the hammer spring adjustment procedures from there to fine tune for good efficiency and power at the new regulated setting. Thought I'd get this useful information out there. Happy shooting / hunting.

Nice!!! I've only used my vast fire IR light and sniper hog lights coyote cannon... My vastfire see much further than my .510 Texan can shoot.... I'm glad your happy with your new IR light!!!!

Click to expand...

The main thing I like about the Rovyvon GL4 is it can optionally produce visibile light, a visible laser, or an IR light and IR laser in the various useful combinations. And it's the smallest unit I've found that can do all that.

You might question my sanity, you wouldn't be the first. I'd like to find an Ataman BP17 and spend the rest on filling up the ammo cabinet.

I think its a great idea...a hotrod 177 slug shooter competing against others..in 100 yards, love that !

I have 2 FX, a old one and a few years old one.
And yes the new one have seen additional investments, aside for the initial barrel issue.

But yeah it is what it is, i like to think i am a gear / petrol head, but at least now at my corrent age, i could not be bothered with tuning a car, even if it was legal here ( which it is not really )
But with a blessing from the lotto gods, sure there are some US classics i would take with a slight mod to them, not least in the power / hadling DPT, but mainly so the tree huggers will faint when they feel my +500 CUI engine.
But have to be careful, i suffer from a severe case of lead foot, and these days excessive speed = bye bye licence,,,, and also vehicle in which you perform.
Sadly Denmark dont really have any race tracks, at best glorified gocart tracks,,,, and they are often closed CUZ god forbi a little tweedy bird sould get annoyed.
so not much chance to enjoy speed here in a legal manner, and illegal well as i said above can get really expensive.

But ! my dream car a 10 - 20 ton APC / IFV, which i would daily drive. the US / euro classics ASO i would like to have in a small collection, they would come later.

2 years ago a Norwegian guy went to Germany to buy a lambo, that he opned up on a Danish street on the way home ( +100 % over speed limit ) so he lost his hours new car, which was sold on auction not long ago.
Since new law cops have confiscated about 1600 cars as i recall.

I want one but not in a rush. My r5 and r5m kinda all ready fit the bill.

I live in west tn, why is there not anything like this going on around here,? Can one of the big company's not build a air gun store in tn.?

I did just to see flow. Sometimes I think I have bad luck. I did get the 3 year warranty from Amazon although I'd rather it just work the way it's supposed to out of the box.

This is where I mounted it. Works well, comes on and stays on like it should when running.

The crown on my new Barra 250z is mediocre at best, and 1/2 of the leade is horrible, but it stacks MRDs at 50 yards. 100 yards is terrible...

Barrels are $40. I order two. We'll see what those are like and go from there...
