Extract Your Gun’s Full Potential: Notos Edition

By the way, I don't know who designed that double folding stock of yours, but whoever designed that double-folding mechanism is genius. I still have not figured out how the thing works internally but it works. I just received one yesterday.
It’s definitely a doozy 😁

My best tune so far. Karma .30 Red Panda 200 yards winds 10-18 mph. "just a guy with an airgun"

I am around that area and it is windy too much,even in my backyard range,I just have a strong dislike for the wind..Your shooting is great and I am going to be there sometime this month.I belong ,but it been a long time.
I shoot almost every Wednesday 9 to 12. Usually from lane #8. Come by and say "hey". I'm also one of the RSO's on Wednesdays.

Other  Alternative to hw50

Alternative to a 50S...
You can find a rifle with similar power, accuracy, weight and size, but you won't find one that has all that plus the absence of ANY plastic or synthetic material visible without disassembly, and even then, it's either gonna' be a seal, or a bearing surface for the cocking linkage. A you certainly wont find another springer that combines all of those desirable features, but then goes one giant step further and gives you absolute control of the rifle by fitting it with a Rekord trigger. If you're not sure why that's important, just Google " Rekord trigger ". It's always been the best sporting trigger of any piston powered rifle. I've seen some that come very close, but the Rekord is the one that I measure all piston gun triggers against. Match gun excluded, of course.
I guess my point is, there really isn't a valid alternative ( assuming that means comparable ) in its class.
This is what I was wondering, quality matters

N/A  Truck gun

I have a fx maverick for slugs so this gun will primarly be pellets
All your choices make me nervous. Each in their own individual way. I would try to score a Benjamin Akela in .22. The selection of truck guns gets better when you’re willing to beat up a $1k+ gun. But I understand where you’re coming from. If Kral was still around, they made good truck guns. Remember, big temperature swings don’t mess with an unregulated gun. They also have less things that can leak.

Taipan  My Taipan Vet II Tactical 550mm .22 - impressive

I've never heard that there's anything wrong with shooting below the reg, but, what do I know. Probably wont do it again, just seeing how many shots in the 915's I could get. But, that's something to watch out for. I usually refill around 150 bar anyways. And yes, loving the Vet II tactical, as well as my Vet I.
I just researched that & it seems there's nothing seriously wrong with shooting below reg pressure, just that we shouldn't make a habit of going WAY below it

Taipan  Slugs in a .25 Vet 1 S

As far as I know, the Veteran 1 .25 from a few years ago had LW barrel with tight chokes. The more recent ones have unchoked CZ barrels. I'm not sure when they made the transition but guns from the last half of last year have the CZ barrels according to Taipan. The type of barrel you have might be a large contributing factor whether the gun will shoot slugs well or not.
There was some back & forth on the forum regarding the gen 1 guns that Tony had in stock back when I made my purchase.

The impression I have is that it has a CZ barrel, but I'm not 100% on that.

It's not a huge deal to me, but I get the impression that these guns aren't super ammo choosey & in my limited experience w it that's been true.

The little choad flings 34 gr pellets to 100 yds just fine. If it throws slugs that'd be even sweeter.

RAW Rapid  Cocking lever is too loose. RAW HM1000x

Thank you all, my friends, for your help. Indeed, the problem appeared when I removed the barrel and took off the carbon sleeve. I'm currently waiting to receive the new one, so although the barrel is already inserted into the block, I haven't adjusted it yet, which is probably the issue. I appreciate the explanation about the pellet probe—it's always good to know how it's adjusted. Thanks again for your help.
