Well, I pulled out my trusty 177 500mm Crown barrel and within a couple of minutes, I was shooting one hole groups at 35 yards. So it looks like the 380mm needs some break-in or a look-see at the leade.

I just recently purchased a similar kit 2 weeks ago from utah myself and it will take a lil deeper dive to figure out lol . Mine was marked the 1 and 17 variant .

It is a coin flip in my honest opinion nowadays . haha

I am guessing the factory setting ,

ADAPT ... as no successful shooter has realized repetitive success without having this crucial skill.

I'm wondering if the velox tube is strong enough to put the gauge on the end of tub?
I posted under air pistol but not sure where it goes.. hopefully moderator will correct it and delete the place it doesn't belong.

does anyone have a idea of the air tube on the velox is thick enough and strong enough to thread and put a gauge on the end?
I'm also going to post this under PCP because I don't know where it goes.. so moderator I am sorry, just delete or move as needed.

Interesting Radar , Very large storm area moving up from Florida towards Iowa , odd for that direction . the rainy weather is from a SSE movement and that means My bench is subject to wind and rain in a 11 o'clock to 5 o'clock or in my face and off to my left as i am facing south at my shooting stand also from my left foot to my right shoulder uphill..
Makes light pellet shooting interesting . a few minutes ago i could not see across the lake and now the sun is shining but still rain farther across the lake (soon to be here )

As many others have said, scopes on pistols defeat the value of a pistol. They are only usable if shooting at a fixed target at a known distance. They offer a narrow field of view, sit way too high above the barrel and take far too long to acquire a target sight picture. I understand the reasoning behind their use, the end user should be using a rifle if they cannot shoot a pistol.

Well I had to live with it and eliminate some pests with it but have come to the conclusion that the pistol scope does just what I had wanted it for. Offhand. Moving animals or standing targets. Magnification self contained.
I use red dots with 2 moa on two other guns and will continue. But the Huben with a quick follow up I will keep a long eye relief pistol scope or perhaps a scout scope since I’m resting elbow on chest for about 11 inches of clearance.
The UTG is barely adequate and I don’t see how a $350 Burris can be much better optically. If I want to rest on something the scope is also much better for pinpoint accuracy over 20 yards.
I also have no desire for a add on stock, plenty of rifles.

Hi Mike,

The purpose of the fill port at the back of the Prophet V1 was to support tethered shooting.

Despite its small length, the Prophet Performance V1 was designed to compete in 100 yard benchrest - the .22 LR barrel designed to keep MRDs stable at velocities even exceeding 1,000 fps.

To shoot tethered to the rear port requires removing the carbon fibre bottle. Also, since the rear port bypasses the regulator, you would want an inline regulator to support tethered shooting.

Because of these additional requirements, I never tried using the rear port for tethering. If the bottle could have remained attached, I’d have definitely tried it.

I’ll add some general stuff since we’re talking about the rear tether port. Guns that have it like my Priest l and Priest ll did also required a poppet valve in the transfer tube. But under normal use, that valve may have been causing inconsistencies so a lot of guns were shipped without them. So when a guy decided he was going to try the tether life, he would blow all the air from his tether bottle out the front of the gun. Our Priest l guns were known as squealers. They blamed the reg but that transfer tube valve IMO wasn’t helping.

I skipped the P1 and went to the P2. If you have your P1 apart some day and it has that valve in the transfer tube, eliminate it. I think originally we drilled a little hole in them and kept them in place. I wish I could be more specific but that was so many guns ago and probably seven years.

Hi All,

I'm new here but been a long time reader. I'm wondering what's the diference between V3+ and V3-R? Also, is it worth to go for the regulated version?

Thanks

That's awesome, man! I can only imagine the final result!

Has the Crosman 2240 been discontinued? No one has them in stock and the prices for them on Ebay are going up by the minute.

Probably just disruptions from the tariffs. Give it some time, and the situation should sort out.

Camera Sony rx10-4

A friend let me try his minty Air Venturi Nomad 2 compressor. He had less than 20 fills on it before putting it aside due to a major accident that redirected his life. I tested it to 4500 psi on one fill and it seems amazingly sophisticated with the auto shut off with user selectable psi, load gauge, oil hole, moisture release valve, separate on/off and power reset button (why do they do this?), external replaceable fuse, double foam filter, and other features. I oiled it up and ran it to 4500 psi and the auto shut off was nice.

I already have a simple compressor, the GX E-L2, that is battery operated. I've not used that much as I am not a heavy PCP user - just more for the very occasional pesting at this point. But even with limited use, I really like the battery operated feature as I can just put it on my desk and not have to find a wall outlet. The GX is as basic as basic comes with the one key advantage of being battery operated.

Question: Is the Nomad 2 still a good unit and is it some how better than the GX E-L2 other than the presettable pressure shut off? If he offers, should I keep the Nomad 2 instead?

Thanks for any help.

You put together a great looking gun, I like it.

Well finally got to shoot some of these, they are not a good fit for my rifle. They are all over the place most I would say are flyers. I don't claim to be the best shot, but I did better with the Crossman's, and they won't group well for me. so I will have to try something else.

The original Picatinny rail supplied by Benjamin is just plastic anyway, nothing too fancy.

Had a leak once where I suspected these guys as well, turned out it was leaking through the plenum/valve rod hole though and had to swap those orings instead… just to make sure you’re chasing the right problem now I’d simply replace all of them if I should have a leak in that area again.

I've had the MROD since 2016 and run about 2.5 tins (500 count) of JSBs each year thru it. 1st issue with the gun in 9 years of continuous use. No complaints.

Absolutely, It’s mostly common with guns of age as they’re usually the longest running factory PCP’s out there. Or someone has done something to the gun they shouldn’t have. Based on the % that runs through here or Benjamin. Right now I’m seeing an uptick in 2017-19 models which is par for the course and should be serviced anyway if they haven’t been. Just age, overmold deterioration and usage.

I follow your posts… you are lucky in “not” having to maintain the area you’re shooting in. We all make do with what we have… Be well @Solo1…
