Sweet little machine.
one of the range officers at Diablo has one.
I would like to have one but I have threE PACT chronographs and at soon to be 79 I need no more.

Has anyone measured the optimal engraving by barrel for best accuracy of 22 cal slugs?
I am wanting to put together an aftermarket barrel. Do not want off the shelf bore diameters.

If you could have anything what would you say is best engraving of rifling for .217 slugs?
.002 ,.003 ?

Want to make sure they are uniform out of the barrel and get proper consistent twist.
Thinking 1/16 twist and 40 gr.

But what did the Campbells every do to me to deserve such abuse

Campbell’s soup is one of the best lunches on the planet! A sandwich and a can of soup makes a great lunch! The can is a bonus for eating a frugal and healthy lunch.

They make great targets. Hang them with para cord and they always come back to zero.

Poke a hole in the can for the para cord. Tie a a surgeon’s knot in the para cord, easy to undo and makes a huge knot.

Hang them horizontally and vertically for different target aspects.

They get more and more challenging as they deteriorate from shots.

Try and shoot them in half, that is the most challenging and puts lame paper to shame.

Give them a try, they are a hoot to shoot!

Hello - please tell me about your Burris optic there. I'm considering an optic for my Bandit.

Burris scope Hello Rivegauche. Mine is a used two power scope with a plex reticle I purchased from Ebay. I am not sure when it was manufactured but it is an older American made model. They are currently made in the Philippians. Parallax is set at 100 yards which isn't optimum for Bandit ranges but it has not an issue for me.

What's the difference?View attachment 455455

Pretty much everything I think. The Super is a gas ram with a Gamo trigger and a completely different style of stock.

Just curious if anyone has just a 700mm shroud laying around you aren’t using ? Pm me. Thank you.

Hey, finally a thread that I’m uniquely qualified to comment on!

As a newbie who has been on the receiving end of Gerry52’s generosity, I just wanted to confirm how helpful it is to someone just starting out in this hobby. As much as I’ve learned from reading this forum, nothing compares to spending a few hours shooting with an expert. I was able to try high-end guns that I’ve only ever read about, and ask approximately a million questions.

The biggest benefit came when he let me borrow his extra 30min SCBA tank. I never knew I needed a tank until I was able to try one for myself! The feeling it brings is pretty much the same as when I went from a hand pump to my first compressor… it really opened my eyes to the benefits of carrying instant air wherever you shoot.

So big thanks from this newbie, Gerry! I hope to be able to do the same someday.

Wow, THANKS Derek! As always, I was/am glad to help out. Hoping the warmth & sunshine here becomes more consistent SOON. Anytime you're free I'd love to get together again, just give me a shout. Truth be told, I want to shoot your Sidewinder again & even your Marauder. The one I had for a year + never did shoot quite right but it was probably more my lack of knowledge than the gun. Calling me an "expert" is above my pay grade! I'm just farther along the learning curve than you are now. There are people on AGN who definitely deserve the title but I don't consider myself one of them. Lmk when you have some time to throw pellets.

Though I'm shooting my Krait 2, .22, a little under 25 yards -
FPS is about 800 / 818, either, JSB, Jumbo Heavy or FX, both 18.1gr.

Just shot it yesterday. Nice and accurate.

I’ve spent way too much time and effort trying to get my great friends 13XX guns to be hot rods. They are great for what they were designed to be, adding stress to one is a walk of rapidly dimensionally returns. An after market tube, pump lever, valve retaining system would fix the issues . But why on a $50 gun???
They are cheap to experiment with, but life span is short when pushed to the limits.

That's why I went pcp and never looked back. Mods actually give you big gains usually. They're also more robust and don't just wear out.

The 13xx has the allure and potential to be a survival gun for getting food. I think alot of people believe them to be a good bugout option over a big bulky springer or a pcp that needs an air source. Let's be real though, if SHTF, I'm not grabbing my air guns lol.

Crossbow can get bigger game, small game, and 2 legged predators as well. Can also cobble up some bolts in the wild that would work for short range if need be.

All that wouldn't be an issue until the 1000s of rounds of powder ammo ran out or I get tired of carrying it all and toss it lol.

The polymags aren't going to go the distance that's for sure. They're a 50 yard and under pellet IMO, but they're devastating when they smack a bird.

They wouldn't work for me at 35yds in the guns I had in the prior years, I haven't tested them in anything new. They're also too expensive for how often I shoot haha.

You're there. As long as *you* are satisfied with the result, you're "in tune". Tune varies per person. For example, within reasonable limits I don't really care about efficiency - again, within reasonable limits. I have endless air, and don't usually engage in lengthy firing sessions, so to me accuracy with sufficient power are all I'm after. If I haven't maximized my shot count, I don't really care. OTOH, when I was hand pumping I cared a great deal.

You can tune for power, accuracy, efficiency, noise, or whatever. There are always trade-offs. You prioritize the aspects you care about and just try to keep everything else in the "acceptable to you" range.

Gene, makes complete sense. I wanted a balance. For my needs, flinging 44.8 grain pellets at 880fps is perfectly sufficient for my needs. I have tried higher reg pressure and pushed these pellets upwards of 950 fps but I have no need for that kind of power but it is good to know I can tune it to that level if the need ever arises. I am also lucky that I have not experienced any POI shift from day to day unlike some FX owners have experienced. I can pick up my rifle and it will hit where I aim. I also tested the first shot of the day after having the rifle sit overnight and it shot exactly at the FPS i expected/tuned it for so there is no reg creep.

I believe I have hit a happy medium of this rifle for my use.

Benjamin Marauder for Me

crosman150 · Apr 7, 2024

Thanks to everyone who came out yesterday for a great shoot! We had 15 shooters and we also held our first pistol match! The morning started with some frost and warmed up to the lows 60’s with some crazy wind! The course was a 35.75 troyer! Gerald and Vince had high scores for the day and both won their division. Jd won the pistol shoot. We had Frankie come out for his 1st ever shoot and used my sons gun and did great! He also cleared the standing lane which only 2 shooters accomplished. See you all next month!!!

Thought 22 cal mrds 25 gr were closer to .050 and 25 cal 25 gr were at .039???

If you take your BC data using 0-20y then yes you'll get .05.

For a while I was worried I might have to do some kitten pest control, myself. Local cats were going after my chickens. But thankfully, my chickens are tough-enough to beat up all the local cats. They similarly beat-up the local bald eagles. Right now they're only vulnerable to raccoons, otters and wolves (we don't appear to have any foxes in the area).

It appears the video is gone. Can't find an active link.

Had my fun with it, time to move on. I prefer the side lever action over pump. This thing is fun for plinking and fast follow ups.

Will fit an np03 stock with a little modification. Works with all puncher line of air tubes and barrels.

Already has a dual spring mod done.
