** SOLD **

I purchased this Athlon Optics Talos SFP 3-12x40mm scope with an illuminated BDC 600A reticle new last October. I mounted a set of quick-release scope rings on the scope so that I could briefly mount it on a rifle to sight it in correctly to check the view and the reticle. The scope was only out of the box for a few hours as it was compared to several other scopes. I decided to keep a different Athlon scope with the same BDC 600A reticle, and am selling this one because I don't need any more scopes.


I won't bother to review the technical specifications here. I believe that everything is in as-new condition. The glass is clean, the scope looks new, and the original items that came with the scope are still in the box. I'll leave the quick-release scope rings attached to the scope as shown in the attached pictures.


I'm offering this one for $150 which includes the scope mount and rings and the cost of shipping within the continental United States.


The box will be securely packaged and shipped by UPS. I’ve shipped many fragile items over the years and have never had any problems with damage during shipping.


Thanks for looking!

Personaly I prefer a good retical, and Element Optics, has a good one designed by Ted of (Teds HoldOver) fame.
I like doing business with people I know from years of following their work. Two of those folks being Ted Bier, and the Affrican airgunner, Matt Dubber, who are involved with Element Optics.
Here is Teds retical design in MOA measurments.



Element Optics, also has a phone app to calulate ballistics which is very handy whichever gun and scope combo your shooting.




A look through it from the phone camera, shot at night using a flashlight @ 30 yards.

Welcome Yall

Really hard to go wrong with .30. V3 or U2. Or Kalibrgun .30 tacticle. I just got from Brian at Edgun West their version of the .30 Sidewinder Compact "Snakelet" 350 cc CF 300 bar bottle that is more slender and comes with the Behemoth quick lug attach detach moderator. Its very quiet with the Behemoth. Handling with the Hueben and a one inch leather sling is hard to beat too.

Great choice on you new shooter Tripp!

If I'm following this correctly
(And that's a BIG IF)
Degassing a Maverick is as straight forward as unscrewing the bottle.
The bottle valve keeps the bottle full, and the unscrewing drains whatever air is in the plenum.
Is that correct?

I understand, but will the pellets fall back when using the Carm loader?

No. I've got the Carm Single Shot Loader for my .22 Ghost HP and the pellet cannot fall back. There is a small O ring that retains the pellet in place. It works great.

In need of a factory marauder rifle barrel in 22 cal.

What @Steve 1974 said. The only reason I tried was because I had pretty clear cut bounce and I went very slowly testing in between sizing and only going up a fraction or two mm at a time. All in I ended up with a 20% bigger transfer port and a 15% lighter piston. All said and done it was about 3hrs worth of work.

The next project will be interesting. I'm going to start by lightening a TX piston by 25% and then working with the TP from there. The TX port is closer to 3.8mm from the factory and from what I was reading last night I may actually end up needing to make that smaller. Should be interesting....

You could convert the tx to a 22mm setup
Tony leach has a very good conversion for this it’s skirtless .
I had a 22mm set up in a hw77 that wasn’t skirtless full alloy piston that was a nick g conversion. It was close to pcp accuracy and still did 11.4 with express.tony and nick are two of the best tuners in the uk . I’m sure many in the states have used them .

I purchased a Benjamin 3030 on Ebay which had a "piercing" problem. The piercing point was not reaching the CO2 cartridge. Apparently, the previous owner had attempted to force the back of the valve body inward to resolve this (and ended up cracking it) but without success. I replaced the piercing point with the tip of a stainless-steel finishing nail. This was successful. Unfortunately, it developed other problems which I hope someday to resolve.

Hello. Well, that's not exactly why I asked this question. I even have 2-year-old packages and they look nice. Reading other threads, you may come across other observations that it does have an impact. Even h&n's official statement that it is not a normal coating but they have already fixed it. A statement from this topic:
https://www.airgunnation.com/threads/do-these-look-ok.1284796/

A year has passed and the coating still has a coating, so I asked if it was normal. I don't want to buy a spare for the summer just to have it sit around. I still have some of the old ones left, so I'll test them in my free time and share the results. Regards

Below are some other threads.

I just noticed on one of my CS2's the piston only has one plastic bearing ring. The other has two, and the drawing shows two. Well color me green! now I know why that one compressor always was louder and had more vibration than the other. Not a huge difference, but quite noticeable when you're looking for it. I added a second ring from my parts stash and now it's as quiet as the other. Came that way from the factory, but it didn't do any damage to the cylinder, as it looks new. The support from the high pressure piston must have saved it.
Anyway, something to look for if yours is acting funny.

squirrels are territorial so they don’t congregate in large numbers. Once you take out the ones you see others will fill its place especially younger ones with no or less territory.

I started shooting squirrels because my neighbor’s roof damage. I also thought there are just a few in my suburbia track home yard but in 2 years I lost count after 50. This is year 3 and I think I’m probably close to triple digits now. Crazy part is I rarely see squirrels within 1 block of my house, but if I walk the neighborhood I see squirrels starting after just 1 block. So yeah, there a ton of tree rats, we just don’t see them all at once.

I think that is a lot of my situation, I get one or two move in because of the vacancy and plenty of den and forage trees. I have had a few times where a group of four or five move in usually in the late Spring and early Fall. These are usually young squirrels and I think that they are litter mates or maybe a couple of different young groups that band together for a short time looking for new territory. These are usually a wild bunch of rascals, running here and there at a constant pace, rarely stopping long enough to get shot. But they do sooner or later.

Some other thoughts, I have read that many years ago that there were mass migrations of squirrels. Growing up in West Central Missouri I remember as a young person of the old timers talking of a migration of squirrels across the Osage river. My understanding of this was that it didn't happen annually but on occasion for whatever reason. These stories were probably from the 1920 to 1930 era maybe before that, there is no way to put a timeline of this. I have also read of during the late 1700's and early 1800 some of the states back East putting a bounty on squirrels. Paying out some serious money at least for the time for thousands of squirrel ears. You had to turn in the scalp with two ears attached for a penny or two, back in those days if you had a pocket full of pennies you were doing OK!

I remember Myth busters wanting to make a Salami rocket, the LOX on its own propelled it some ways CUZ they did not get salami ignition.

I also have a hard time seeing a bottle develop a catastrophic failure that would lead to a explosion like scenario, then again it is not for fun you can get blast proof tank holders to have the tank inside while you fill it.
The catastrophic failures i have seen have all been related to filling way past the limit, but then they do also go KABLAMO


There is a dive shop, not near me, but it have a bottle fill " ATM" like machine so you can fill night and day, i assume its something like this in some US park.

galvanically corrode

That galvanic corrosion is almost step #1 in the surface treatment course here in Denmark, and i have also seen on ships this go absolutely wrong with a too " noble " metal used on a lesser one,,,,,, no good at all, though someone probably though this at some point.

It is there cuz fixing stupid made by people that should be smart, well very hard, and when engineers fail just a little,,,, OMG

Maverick guys which rail are yall using to extend bottom rail out to end of barrel

Thank you for the reply I will do. I know ARH sells parts for that stuff but I definitely got to have its ID.
Thanks again.

Since it is "STEROIDED", it's likely that the hammer spring is too powerful and pushing slightly on the exhaust valve enough to not enable pumping up. The spring/hammer is holding the exhaust valve slightly open.
Cock it first then pump. If it still makes that noise, then something else is amok.
