Thanks for participating, and a HUGE shout out to Thor Molds for making this happen!

Thank you, Tony has some and he took care of me.

Got the Zulus sighted in today. Zero at 35 yards. I will setup the ballistic calculator later,
But let me tell you 1st shot in middle of bull, not adjustment. I proceed to put 10 in bulls. X and Y were factory at 00 on a 0MOA rail I shot Hades .30 I saved profile and continued to 50,60,70, 80 and 100 using mildots along the way with satisfying results although I think I'll final zero at 50 with the urgan2 I'm sitting at range now waiting for the resident groundhogs to came out..lol
More work to do but I'm happy.

Only negative is my old eyes and the limit of visability but all workable.
And yes ...please Arken make the reticles a little bigger.

Mike, do you find any significant difference between the 22 and 30 calibers accuracy wise at 100?? How about precision?

Click to expand...

They are equally accurate if you have things right. Wind drift and ease of shooting is 30 for sure at 100, anyway.

The Marauder will be quieter. And with a DFL Tanto additionally you will hear little more than the hammer strike and the pellet hitting the target. Even my carbine (short) shroud .25 at around 60 fpe with the Tanto installed is very quiet.

Stock bedding, or the lack of it causes fun stuff like this. Most airguns have no semblance of bedding.

Thank you. I was wondering about my groups walking around. It wasn't bedding, but it gave me an idea to try shooting my gun off my backpack instead of a bipod. Groups tightened up immediately.

The above suggestions while generous do not work for Parkinsonism. Your best option is to see a neurologist.

I should know as I am a neurologist.

I will send contact information.

Hey Barry neuro, yeh 14 year’s now, 3 neurologists later finally at UCSD , denial , needed to hear it more than twice I guess, progressive, med tolerance. Used to drop a poop ton of nail’s towards the end of my framing day’s, kinda funny I guess.
Thanks for caring.

Yes Yes, Welcome. I am from North of Kansas City. North I35 and US 36 junction. Be Well Brother, B.

I have 3 HW100's a .20 cal thumb hole long barrel, a .22 cal thumb hole long barrel and a .22 cal bullpup long barrel, all are super quiet, plus the 14 shot magazine is the best magazine made, you can also increase shot count by swapping out the cylinder to a Ratworks cylinder or get a Bottle adapter, the trigger is Awesome and accuracy is pinpoint, the side lever action is smooth as silk, they also like Croman Dome or HP pellets, and you can 3D print magazines from open source, Parts Available from D&L airguns in Canada, they ship to US fast.
the Daystate is a great gun too from what I hear, I don't own one, not sure who handles parts in North America.

I never noticed a difference in accuracy with various Donny, Buckrail and Lethal Air donkey shlongs.

I have noticed the POI can change a little, which is strange and I don't think it's due to the weight (because I have barrel bands and other reasons). But a couple clicks on the scope and it's just as accurate.

What I also notice is I feel I am doing the "right thing" for my neighbors, even though they are a decent distance away, and they shoot 30-06 and ARs whenever they please.

And around here we have nice ladies in traditional plain dresses walking around on the road and horse buggies, etc. I prefer not to harsh their vibe in any way, because they only give me positive vibes.

From the vids I have seen of .177 used at long ranges 150yds or more they all used 700mm and no length wont be an issue. Just something about wacking a starling at 150yds with a .177 slugs that I would love to do...

Then I would go with 700mm. Easier to tune for high power which is what you want with slugs most of the time.

I think the best source of well documented data on SCBA tanks is the Navy report. They have never had even a leak from anything other than damage to threads caused by hydro testing. No "explosions". They use thousands of tanks. Solid metal tanks might "explode". There was a video on this site at one time of one doing that at only a fairly mild overpressure. The same thread had a carbon fiber tank that failed but did not explode and they had to take out a big chunk of carbon fiber to get it to fail at over 10,000 psi. I do not believe that the available data supports those who theorize that carbon fiber tanks are susceptible to "explosion". I would not use one with obvious damage to the carbon fiber and if mine ever leaks it will get replaced. I also fill it using color changing desicant to make sure the air is dry going in. But with simple common sense precautions I am comfortable accepting any associated risk. I think my guns with their all aluminum storage chambers are more of a risk to me than my retired SCBA tank.

I installed and tested a bit. With a new plenum and the Reg set at 120 bar and the hammer spring maxed out and a 500mm barrel I get 970 fps with JSB 18.1
and 850 fps with JSB 25.4's. Now I will work on the tune a bit and find my sweet spot.

I shoot in my backyard into a pellet trap filled with rubber mulch most of the time. I have a "know your limits" target too and one metal squirrel target that get some pellets too. Behind my yard is a large lake with the homes on the other side over 200 yards away. I am shooting down so the pellet always goes into the lake but might skip a time or two. My pellet traps are just over 8.5x11 and I don't miss the often but I'm getting ready to mess around with scopes swapping them between guns and might miss the trap during that process. One has a 20 MOA rail and the other doesn't. I need to figure out how many layers of soda can shim equals about 20 MOA so the scope swaps go smoother. It is legal for me to shoot in my hard and even into the lake but I still use moderators and try to catch almost all my pellets to be respectful of others. I also do not shoot when there are boats on the lake in the line of fire. At least some of my neighbors know I am shooting my pellets guns and don't care. Nobody has complained. I want to keep it that way.

I keep the traps inside or on the back porch when I am not shooting into them, generally. The birds like to do their business on them if I leave them out and they aren't weather proof. It isn't much that I want to hide what I do but it does reduce the time period when that could be noticed. Mostly people hear the gun even with the moderator. It tends to be quiet around the lake until a boat is around or somebody mows their grass.

Outra situação que notei é que tenho 2 compressores PCP e ambos registram 80 a 100bar acima do que o manômetro registra. E já tentei um digital que inicialmente pensei que fosse do manômetro de estoque.

You are dealing with a RPB barrel. Chambering a pellet or slug can have some notchy resistance. These guns are made well enough that you don’t have to handle them with kid gloves. Close the cocking lever like you mean it. You are wrecking the insides of your gun firing it with the cocking lever ajar.

1) All trips of the sear while a shooter is on the firing-line of a lane count as shots for record.
2) When timers are used there are no time concessions.
3) In my opinion trying to chronograph from a lane firing-line, especially under the timer, is a situation rifle with potential(s) for danger/disaster.
4) Any sign of such results in immediate disqualification.
5) Delaying the flow of a match for more than a couple minutes for one shooter to make repairs can have repercussions beyond delaying ALL shooters.
6) Anything that complicates match directors' primary responsibility of SAFETY cannot be tolerated simply to create the illusion match directors are nice guys.
7) That's an urban myth.
8) Don't argue point 6; you'll lose.
9) Don't argue points 1-5; you'll lose.
10) You may argue point 7 if it doesn't delay a match, distract a fellow competitor during competition, or create any potential(s) for danger/disaster.
11) ("Our amps go to eleven") You may NOT argue point 7 with a match director.
12) (My opinions know no limit) You may NOT argue ANY points with a match director.

Happy Shooting,

P.S- 13) It's a little known fact that most field target competitors are retired rock stars. Proof positive-

If I was on the market for another pcp I might take a good look at picking up 1 of these. Regulated at that price point this is gonna take a chunk out of the avenger market I would bet.

cody34packer said:

Awesome thank you. I just reached out to a vendor that I had purchased another airgun from asking because I had bought a Mantis scope from them and liked it on the PCP and asked if it would work on there and hold up to the magnum recoil and they recommended a few other options that would last longer and be more durable that they had.

Click to expand...

Which scopes did they recommend? I'm looking to replace the stock scope on my gen3. I would like to at least have mil dots. thx

Correction, the BSA has two separate bases included.

Based on my experience

Now that's a air gunning mans room.

I have run ( for the past year ) one of the 4 Cylinder tuxing compressors ( knockoff on a Italian Coltri compressor )
So far no problems with it, but also just have like 4-5 hours of run time on it.
They are a whole other lower price than a Alkin or for that matter Coltri / Bayer / what ever western compressor.

I can’t speak to your specific question as I have no experience with that company. What I will say though is buy at least two, a backup is something everyone needs at times.

Anyone attend this show at all?
Like to know if there was any value in attending the next one....if there is one.
