So the R8 also came both ways! Thanks for the pictures.
The EL2 is different, but no, the block is awkward, but makes water removal from lines much easier. I remove mine at base of pump, fire it up and water spits out! This was where a lot of rust was found when first received from sitting and transport to the states? I add my external filter after the block and use extension whip from filter to the gun tank. Everything lays on the bench, nothing to hold and makes cleanout easy after long session. My extension whip has smaller foster style female than the block.Thanks, Dog.
Does the block at the end of the hose bother you? All further models moved it to the unit. Besides it being a bit unwieldily, I worry that it will pop and either scratch a gun or whack me in the head. I have to get close to read the gauge when the unit is running, and my hand is always on it. S7
Dallas@markhooper I'd be willing to bet 45 recoil out of an airgun is pretty tame. Especially with a moderator.
Personally, i have no current use for a big bore. I dont even shoot my .30. Ive got a .308 and 45-70 I'll shoot, but those arent airguns.
If I had the space to shoot, space to set up casting, and a real good supply of air, I guarantee I'd have some rather large big bores. At least a .50.
I had not seen the 308 long shot. Maybe I'm just an ass, but I'm not much impressed by guys walking shots. I feel like a very good number of members here could do the same if they had the gun, ammo, air, assistance, range, and time.There is a chance I'm being ignorant.
Oh no, don't say the h wordplease. My mk1 crown does pellets and slugs just fine. Hammer and port adjustment knobs so you get a lot of range of adjustment. My 500mm barrel will send 25gr .22 slugs at 950fps. The 500 is also meant to shoot pellets too. But I still almost exclusively shoot pellets thru the 380mm barrel. Have taken squirrel with headshots as far as 70-75 yards with no issue using 16gr pellets. About as far as I'm comfortable using pellets in almost 0 wind conditions btw. Usually I get them closer like 30-50 yards.
I'm surprised you can buy ANY pellets in Illinois.no link , but at the local Walmart when they have them, & it is not all of the time, i was fortunate last year & got lucky , a few times, & have 9000 pellets (22 cal) i live a mile from W/m & i pick up my Meds there, so i always check for them , 22 cal are not there always,& (were out last week) but 177's are usually in stock , i am in illinois, & they do not even sell 22 cal airguns..
