I was looking for a Bottle valve for my Reximex Throne 2 and was on BestFittings in the UK. I found these two Bottle valves. I don't see any difference.

For the money there are clearer optics, with better glass. It's not bad, but it's not great. I would steer you towards a West Hunter 4-16x44, 3-12x44, Discovery 3-12x44, or some of the Vector scope that are compact. Vector2007.com

definitely spend $50 less on an HT series discovery or GEN2 westhunter. The vectors at that price range are SFP. I placed a post here the other day for a discovery 2-12x24FFP MPVO which is ultra clear and $189.00. That's if you want a truly compact scope. If you don't Mind SFP vector 3-12x44 or 4-16x44 Veyron is the way to go. you'll just have to get used to doing a little extra math for the holds on magnifications higher and lower than 10x ... unless you plan to dial every shot.

compact discovery 2-12x24ffp

Veyron 3-12x44 SFP

veyron 4-16x44sfp
I personally had this on my p35x. it's a good scope. There are deals and promos that can get as much as $70 knocked off, i see a 10% immediate discount on amazon already.


Discovery 4-16x44FFP HT
If you're okay with full size scope, this is a killer scope for the money. i've had 4, sold 2, still have 2

I hope you like it. I've never tried a Continental but the Sentinel and Veyron I have do not have the same quality of glass as my Athlons. The Sentinel is a lower priced scope so that is OK but my Talos 6-24 was about the same price as my Veyron 6-24 but I find the Talos to be significantly more clear. The Veyron is smaller and lighter, however, so it has other desirable attributes. But to anybody that has both, is the glass in the Continental equivalent to other scopes with good glass? I am not trying to knock Vector scopes, they have great features and mine have been totally reliable it's just the glass quality I question.

I had to quit using my current Continental 5-30 because the IQ is annoying to my eyes compared to my Helos G2's and the first one broke which they replaced. This one sits in the safe as a back up. Actually the only thing I like is the reticle.

There is one Athlon scope I came across which does about the same thing though the IQ is slightly better but the turrets are superior feeling.

The newest gens of most of the brands should be improved but it cost money to find that out. Hopefully this 6-36 is like that. I tried some other brands other than Athlon and was discouraged I had done so.

You could definitely utilize a dryer circuit for that compressor. Your compressor just wouldn't use the neutral. As mentioned, only one at a time. If your spending that kind of money for a compressor, getting a dedicated circuit for it is the best option.

I'm thinking of starting a 200 yard bench rest shoot at my club range.
Diablo Rod and Gun club in Concord, CA.

Anybody interested?

Rod in San Francisco

I think it's a great idea. The reason I say this is because for years the "thing" has been pellets at 100 yards. It's time to step up the distance -- slugs (or anything you want) at 200 yards. Even a cheap Air Venturi Avenger or an Umarex Gauntlet has a fair chance these days. I won't be there, but I'm rooting for ya. Cheers.

The US flag lends itself fine in this way ( this and the old south states flag are the only flags my friend would ever put up, he dont even have a Danish flag )

The +800 year old Danish flag, well you cant do much with a white cross on a red background no matter how creative and good fantasy you have.

If you have the original avenger and not he avenge x you need to move the plenum to the right side. I put the same plenum on the left side and found out it was the wrong side when the pressure gauge decided to become a projectile. The plenum can take 200 bars and below, if you have it on the wrong side 300 bars may cause a failure like mine. Interestingly enough the avenge x has the reverse set up with the plan on the left vs the right. I actually ran two external plenums, one under the gun and one on the side.

Not sure on the front. It will probably be fine where it is other than if you plan to really shoot a high second reg pressure. The second will probably depend on caliber. I believe it comes conservatively set for pellets

I have a Atlas BT10 V8 with ADM-170-S picatinny QD and it fits perfect. Not sure what QD you’re running.

If you want to shoot the JSB 33.95 MK2, reg of 140 and PW 10 should get you close to 910 fps. I never shot the 25gr, so can’t help with those. Good luck!

I shoot to relax, and vent at the same time. I shoot every other day in my little 45 ft backyard. I think shooting for me is like playing the Guitar very therapeutic. I would be wound up like a music box after a few weeks could not make it 14 months.

Sent this email to Crosman weeks ago:

Questions / Comments

Why are the shelves empty in every Walmart store I have visited from Ohio to Florida of Crosman .22 Premier Hollow Point pellets?

They finally replied yesterday:

Thank you for contacting Crosman. With the Tariff it has put the a hold on getting product to us.

Thank you,

Exactly the response I expected. What they are selling now are most likely stock from before the tariff situation.

See #2

Rod, you need to start weighing the slugs.
Maybe run them through a re-sizing die as well.
Too many fliers.

beerthief said:

yes i thought that but this one works the best , beating donny and ODB by a noticeable amount .

Click to expand...

I have made some home brews that are quieter than a comparably sized donny. The common denominator is plastic construction. Try a yokozuna or Ryu tho. It's a whole new ballgame. These things are efficient and built like real suppressor baffles.

6gun said:

Yes it will work.

If it doesn't make a sonic crack it's not going that 1250 fast. But let's just use 850 fps as your velocity. With your 7.8 grain pellet hypothetically traveiling at 850 fps you have 12.51 foot pounds of muzzle energy. So you're already better off that most brits or Germans. My friends and I have found it takes as little as 1.5 foot pounds for some small rodents at closer ranges like yours. Or 300 fps with your pellet.

Have fun.

Click to expand...

Good, and thank you for the reply. I still have to chronograph my rifles, but think it was going at least 850 fps.
I haven't seen any fresh moved dirt in the area so have to think I got him. In fact I'm sure I saw impact on the back of it's beady little skull, but everything from that point forward happened Fast I was left second guessing myself.

I got out my 0.22 Cayden yesterday and found that it lost all it's air over the winter. So I pump it up to 2800 psi per both my pump and gun gauges and found a leak from around the threads of the foster fitting. I took the fitting off and wrapped teflon tape around the threads and pumped it back up to 2800 psi per my pump gauge and checked the fitting and found no more leak, yay!! But then I looked at the gauge on the gun and it only showed 2000 psi and seems to be holding steady at that pressure. Why would this happen all of a sudden? The gun gauge worked fine until I wrapped the foster threads to fix the leak. Thoughts???

I have a Kratos and an Akela. A friend has a Kratos. None of the on-board gauges agree with any other gauge either of us has available. I sometimes want to replace the really, really cheap factory gauges but, most times my attitude is "why bother."

I'd rather see you try a couple different calibers.. like if you were using 22 caliber..I use 217.. but if you are not happy with it then if it was 22 caliber I'd try 216,2165,2175 etc..sorry I'm not familiar with the sizes available in 177 so I gave the examples in my caliber..
now I don't know what barrel you have.. pellets do better with a choke, slugs will work with both but are much better without a choke..
because of everything I have read, I personally would never polish a barrel.. too many people ruin them.. and basically you are going to remove more rifling than land.. so it's basically in my opinion like shooting a firearm thousands of rounds.. and at some point your barrel is just shot out..
just my stupid 2 cents.

I have to ask. What’s the trick to cutting a hardened hammer. I’ve tried a few times but never had any luck. Different tools , carbides , rake angles . None made a difference.

Click to expand...

Cutting as in Machining it ? or cutting shorter etc ?

Carbide for machining
Fiber blade chop saw for shortening etc ...

Yeah i was a bit amazed i did not see any lead.
It was just on a limb not like i had seem ny shooting deteriorate other than what i can with comfort blame on the wind.

I have shot pretty much all slugs in that period but those 3 weights primarily, even pushed 24 gr Zan slugs over 1000 fps and for the hell of it sometimes after shooting heavy put in a light to hear the super sonic crack.

Normally i " ram " a patch on the end of a CF rod down through my barrel, 5 - 7 of those do the job, it is only at the range i use my DIY pull through with patches on it, CUZ i can not be bothered taking off the barrel at the range for that, but at home i always do that.

I have for a while used 1" patched folded over a few times on a 3 mm CF rod, but i now use a 4 mm CF rod and 3/4" patches not folded over.

BTW later in the year i will modify the tip of my CF ram rod, i feel i can add a little ( spray lacquer or paint ) to get a slightly larger diameter and get tighter fit.
I think + 0,1 - 0.2 mm larger diameter will not harm.

Also ! i will get a box of the Zan painted slugs, but just use them as a shoot to clean solution,,,,,, well at least i hope so, they better not fly a lot better CUZ then my ammo budget go up

To be clear... Can any scope be used on a PCP air rifle?

Click to expand...

Yes as long as it fits. PCPs dont put out anywhere near the 750Gs that I see scopes rated for. I question if they even put out 1G

Hi Ranchibi, its how we get to shoot on other peoples
propety over here ,by offering free pest control.

If you need it for night hunting especially dealing with coyote at night or rats just go for it.
But darn, it still pricy even with discount.

Not an unheard of phenomenon, reason why many use a next higher caliber moderator than airgun. Never a problem with moderators that came from factory for my AGT and FX airguns, can't say same for aftermarket ones. WM

I've never had creep on any of my Huben Power regulators. I have at least 6, cricket, dream universal, Max-ATH. Once I set them they stay. I did have an AliExpress knockoff Huben (before I discovered the real Huben Power) cricket that did drift but nothing like you are seeing. Maybe 100-200 psi.

My oldest is on a Hatsan Barrage. Dream Universal that has been set for 2500psi for probably 18 months.

If it continues you need to contact Nick Scott at Huben Power, [email protected]
He has always been helpful.

I hope it works well for you.

Congrats! Once I get rid of my one non regulated .25 I was looking at the HP Ghost and Taipans. Hvae fun!
