Great shooting @ super long distances with your .20 slug/pellet shooting Ghost on those chunky pdogs! Boy, those are some HEALTHY ones! Nice pic .

That alfalfa fattens em up!!!

Weelll… part two is coming soon.
The freaking gun shoots beyond amazing . It was build by Will Piatt in 2019. It really is amazingly accurate. BUT the air tube is from Air Venturi and it is drilled and polished inside for the regulator. Not only is it 7 years old I made a stupid mistake. In my repair and diagnostic process I unscrewed the air tube with the action in place. I scratched the air tube all the way around for 25mm. I would feel better having a pretty new air arms air cylinder filled with 3000 psi next to my face.

So going in the mail from England today or tomorrow is a new Air Arms air cylinder drilled and fitted with an Apex regulator and Apex quick fill and gauge. Plus different hammer springs a different hammer and debounce kit. I’m going to put all of that in a new firing block .
So now I am replacing basically the entire air storage and delivery system. I have documented as much as I can recording a 60 shot string 865 fps with a standard deviation of 1
It is pellet on pellet at 50 yards. This morning I shot out to 75 yards and did a 30 shot Field target loop and missed one shot. God I hope I don’t mess this thing up. I am replacing everything but keeping it all intact. So I have spare parts and I can undo anything. But part 2 is coming soon.

one has a proper barrel
and one has a pressed hydraulic tube.
bit of a no brainer

So does this mean I will not be getting your PCP rifles, ha, !

I'm sure something can be arranged.. how much money ya got? lol

I have some guns that have shrouded barrels w no internals which I think are mostly for aesthetics, but most or the others offer some sound moderation.

As others have said it can provide a place to thread an actual moderator and I have noticed barrel droopage on long barreled guns w the shroud removed when running a moderator. So there's that actual function.

True, some guns look downright weird with the shrouds removed.....

They work just not very well.

does it shoot slugs?

Maybe, I’ve never shot a slug but the barrel is choked.

It’s shooting pellets extremely accurately even at 40 yards with some wind…!

Extreme spread is 11fps across 30 shots from starting 2,600psi fill - unregulated.

I have a 25 cal 700 mm u2 and a 25 cal 600 mm u3 I like the u3 I think it shoots great I have been swaging 30.2 grain slugs 960 fps I like shooting it over my Impacts

I use blue thread lock. Just a little so can be remove when I need to.

I'm missing the Slash, but like @rangur1 I have a couple of Vet 2 tactical and I have an RTI P3 instead of the Mora. I have 2 Airmaks Kraits - 22 and 25. Close your eyes and pick - they're all good. I'm currently working on selling/trading for a Skout...

i don’t understand how digital zooming works but.. what is preventing dnt from releasing an update that gives the option of 2-12x or 4-16x or 4-20x for the 5-20x zulus v2? since its digital and not fixed glass, it should be possible right?

I’ve used a Masterpiece Arms chassis on my Remington 700 build for PRS competitions. The machining quality is exceptional, and the ergonomic adjustments made it easy to fit my shooting style. I’ve found it maintains consistency even after hundreds of rounds, though it’s on the heavier side - great for stability but less ideal if you need a lightweight hunting setup. The hype is justified for precision work, but it really depends on your use case. For pure long-range accuracy, it’s hard to beat.

I was checking out the Karma red Panda and saw two different versions.

I did a search in here and the only difference I could find was two different tunes for the same guns. This was confirme by Utah AG

But then this video from pellet shop:


Different barrel setup, bag rider etc

So was it something that changed later on and now they offer only one barrel with different tune?

Can you afford another rifle??
Use whichever one suits the purpose of the day.
I have an S tuned to 7ft/lb, and a T tuned to 24ft/lb. Both .22.
The S for inside sheds, the T for outdoors.

I had to have a long talk with myself to get even the one! Lucky, I managed to convince myself.......

I like the benefits you bring up of non AO optic. Not only utilitarian but also hate having to add 7-800 on top of every gun I buy because I've become accustom to a Hawke FFP setup! I need to get back to basics!

The condition of both examples is outstanding.
The usual examples encountered, at least by me, look like they spent their life behind the seat of a dump truck.

Thanks for sharing them, they are very nice!

Racer88 said:

True... 1 MOA is 1 MOA at any distance. I'm not suggesting otherwise. What I AM suggesting is that errors introduced by the shooter (among other factors) increase over distance. Shooter wobble isn't the only factor affecting precision.

In any case, I'm out. Good luck to the OP!

I would agree that the variables could be numerous… weights, speeds, sizing variations … etc but at what point is it relevant?

Chasdog said:

Yea I feel for you that’s a bummer no one responds to you. I’m a bit leery of foreign guns for that reason. Had a bad experience with an Aselkon that no one seemed to care about and after that I now have 2 USA guns that are heavily supported. Also have one Swedish one that I know I can get help on.
Anyway hope someone makes it right !

I almost bought the Impact (and I should have), but I wanted something different, mainly for a youtube video (and everyone has already done 1000 videos on Impacts).

@AprilB
You might want to check with AGN member @NAIAD001
I have one of his butt hooks for my Taipan Vet1
It is nicely made
And I have seen his listings of hooks for other guns
He does custom work too

just my 2 scents

Thank You!

I have 2 Notos and 1 Zelos.
The Zelos is 2 times more expensive than the Notos.

They are both great airguns, made by Snowpeak in China.
I have more Snowpeak airguns than any other brand.

My 2 Notos are shooting between 15 and 20 FPE and are accurate enough up to 50 yards.
They are much more accurate up to 30-40 yards.

The 22 Zelos is accurate up to my farthest targets. around 70 yards, and 25-30F PE.

So, it depends on the length of your shooting range and the money you want to spend.

I have the Huma pic rail. It is smaller but much sturdier than the m-lock rail. I saw the m -lock rail on my buddy's Mora and didn't like it.View attachment 593200

Nice rail! Looks really good . I wish Taipan would make and extended rail/bottle protector for the Vet2 Tacticals! I guess I could add an after market one but it would have to connect to the existing one.....looks odd........yours looks like it should be there!

I put it in a gray laminate and it’s a little lighter.
