Thank you Thom for posting this for us. Also thanks for helping do the target maintenance!
Yes it is muddy out here!

They group very well at that speed to. I was looking to get the fps lower when I first started shooting that pellet but wanted to keep the reg set at 140 bar. I have the power wheel on minimum too. I’m also switching between 3 other pellets and weights and adjusting the power wheel for each, but no reg change or spring swaps.

Unless the barrel is tested in a machine prior to the transfer port being cut and finished that's pretty much how they are. I know of no mfg that does that though.

That would be a pain in the butt for the factory. Now I see the genius of a design like the Impact. Way ahead!

I do hope my new $3600 Black Wolf will have the ability to index. Deposit put down, stack of $100 bills sitting here waiting for arrival. It is multi caliber....so hopefully.

4 shooters showed up for our Friday match. It was a little breezy and switchy.

June 8th will be 10 for me.

.024 vs .028 doesn’t explain why the bc match hold a .5” group at 55 and most the jsb offerings are giving me a silver dollar.

Edit...

In regards to .177 and H&N, and in an effort to be less confrontational, I'll summarize what I had originally typed by simply suggesting that you take a look at the manufacturer of pellets used in match reports of traditional field target, specifically looking at the highest scores.

I've only been here since April. So far, so good! I have been on various fora since the early 90s (dialup!). It takes dedicated people (both posters and admin.) to make one run smoothly. The hard part is keeping good content, within the site rules...which requires a firm hand and a bouncer occasionally.

Anyone have experience using these pellets in FWB air rifles or others?
Thanks!

Wow, I would have never thought to try 20 caliber slugs in a 22 barrel. The slow twist rate seems to like smallish slugs.

Sorry, I apparently wasn't clear....

The .22 slugs I mentioned were shot from a .22 barrel.

The .20 slugs I mentioned were shot from a .20 barrel.

I doubt you'll locate an original replacement. Replicate it from a similar-thickness, similar-durometer synthetic material with a paper or leather punch and scissors; perhaps from any number of plastic bottle-caps, Tupperware, credit cards, etc.

Yeah it’s as advertised.I just got my .25 250z and had it out for the first time today.straight out of the box,no tuning and it shot a 1.5” group at 100yds with AEA 33.9gr pellets and a couple 2” groups with .249 H&N 36gr slugs.I know,strange that pellets at 100yds out performed slugs,that’s just what happened

I had the same experience. Here is a video I made the other day just testing it with random slugs after jacking the pressure up to 200https://youtu.be/QtHyLbgLO0Y

Rc (radio controlled) shock oil comes in different weights. I'm unsure if they correspond with motor oil viscosity or not. However the higher the number the thicker the oil. I have some 50w and some 90w that I use for my monster trucks and sedan rc vehicles. I tend to use the 90w for my airguns as its thicker and therefore stays in place better and don't run off as much as the thinner oils. My shock oil is at least 10 years old with no discoloration as far as I can tell.

SAE 50 is a motor oil viscosity grade, but SAE 90 is a gear oil, which uses a different viscosity measure. SAE 30 motor oil and SAE 90 gear oil are of similar viscosity.

This might be useful to someone. SAE is the popular viscosity scale for vehicle applications, although we usually measured oil viscosity in Saybolt and then converted, if required.

Do you know what the RC people are conveying with these numbers?

I am certain that you already know these viscosity facts, but most people seem not to understand the implications.

Thanks

In the past I have owned an older led sled to only sell it because of an article I read. I have replaced the Caldwell Precision Turret as a tool for zeroing scopes with led sled DF 2, What a big difference! within minutes I was good to go. 100 yards at 4-inch gong. AEA 357 Challenger (BIG BORE) side lever, BARS 150gr boat tails. At 100 yards put a hole in an already discharged fire extinguisher. Not bad from a coyote pcp.

Hello Fellow Shooters,
Match day dawned with a chilly 60 degrees and light breezes, but morphed over the match to 78 degrees with moderate breezes and gusts affecting some shots. The MD crafted a new moderately hard course of around 34 Troyer after adjustments.

We were glad to see the father and son team of Derick and Hunter S. back for their second field target match. Due to their extensive firearm experience, they did quite well on a harder course.

Scotty "Beam me up!" H. took Hunter PCP honors while Robert D. swept the Hunter Piston class while setting a personal best score and even cleared his first lane in the class.

Hunter PCP

Scotty H. RAW TML-1000, Sightron SIII, JSB 13.4 gr. 53/60
Derick S. Benjamin Marauder, Bushnell 4 - 16 x 44, Benjamin 10.5 gr. 30/60
Hunter S. Stoeger BullShort, Vortex 4 - 12 x 40, 10.3 gr. 24/60

Hunter Piston

Robert D. Beeman R9, Hawke 8 - 24 x 56, H & N Barracuda FT 9.57 gr. 31/60

The NX8 is now perched on top of my thomas carbine. Like all scopes so far everything is great out to 35 Yards. If the light is to your rear and it’s illuminating the faceplates then the nx8 is super easy to range, if the sun is behind the targets and or setting so things are darker, ranging gets trickier And you really have to work it and double check. But as far as holdovers when looking through the scope… badabing, I’m nailing the KZ’s Much better! Give me a couple more weeks and I’ll give you my final answer

Ok I spotted the problem, Hatsan in his glory have packed the gun with the gauge indicator poorly screwed... I just had to screw it with pliers and now everything's ok...

Yet the overall care and build of the gun is pretty meh... I already asked tu return it, so I don't know if I will keep it or not, I already test print some tolerance stuff to design a silencer and a custom mag, as I'm more interested in the technical part of airguns to play and mess around with mechanical aspect of it, if I keep it I may also design a new fooldable grip system to make the thing the most compact possible.

My 3d loading gate for the huben get many downloads, but my complete redesign of the grips + power tune and indicator on the go have received almost no love... maybe because nobody have the V1 version and I can't adapt it to V3 without a physical gun to check tolerances.

Will you, Velox owners pay 1 buck for download and print any of those 3 things?

-A 3d silencer for the gun. I know it's a standard 1/2 UNF... but mine will make use of the wider diamether without obsctructing ironsights, so more silent bark.

-A custom made mag that protude less and hold more rounds. Always hated the rotary mags...

-A complete grips redesign to make the Velox a foldable thing. Little more convenient for backpack and totally futuristic, yet I don't think I can reduce much the length.

received The One yesterday as you can see above

These are the contents of the box

-Scope and owners manual
-Lens cover
-Sunshade
-Owners manual
-Battery
-Baggy with tools and "throw lever"
-Cleaning cloth
-Two stickers


This scope is big, it's also very very hefty at 42oz but it's a 7-35x56 lol nobody is putting this on a walk and stalk rifle lol

The turrets are very very nice , I mean really, I love them lol. The markings are clear and attractive too.

Viewing through it at work I was pretty impressed, I've used a plethora of scopes and with the quick view I had today I am excited to use it. The real test will be looking at targets.

Anyways , time for some beauty shots and a real run down once I can put it to use.

course I'll need you contact info so please pm me

The DRS is a bit more (price wise) then what I was looking for (they also seem to be sold out of 22 and 25). It would be an great platform to start with. Only real problem I see with it is that there doesn't seem to be a way to connect your own air supply, I would be stuck with the over barrel air. And changing out barrels would likely be a huge pain.



SPAW doesn't seem to sell stockless Dreamlines any longer, unless I'm missing it from their page. This would have been a perfect "action" to start with.

It really is a shame more gun makers do not have this option, but I suppose what I'm asking is a bit of a niche thing inside a niche thing.

Click to expand...

They probably are sold out. The drs has kind of replaced it. I would think they could probably order one. Doubt they will restock as the demand for the dreamline classic is probably low.

очень хорошо. Какая скорость? Какой калибр 250?

I don't know if they are as good pellet or not since I only have 22 caliber, but the 22 enjun pellets shot well

Holy moly that's BIG! LOL! We used to have 2 female chihuahuas and I used to take them out to potty late nights occasionally and one time while one was going #1 by me in the front lawn I glanced up and saw what I thought was a coyote on the cement walk way about 20 feet away lit up by the street light....my dog smelled it and took off after it and it ran but stopped about 15yds turned and made that ticking bandit noise and thankfully our pup stopped in her tracks and I called her back and she came luckily as that was the BIGGEST bandit I have ever seen! This is in the middle of the city...

Excellent shot and video Michael!

I have a bathtub if I am REALLY desperate to find a stubborn leak.
