Rat kill video from last night.

Reminds me of me years back, hunting Ghogs w/ magnum hand cannons ( And I have wrist & elbow issues to remember that by. Wait,, you hunt what with what!! )
I have the power wheel on 14 with the JSB’s. I kept reading on best speeds and tunes and lots of people shooting in the 900 fps+ range. I’m gonna shoot it on minimum power wheel for $hits and giggles to see how it groups; it is accurate as heck out to 40 right now.

Western Airguns  After some months of inactivity I took the Sidewinder .25 out of the shelf... And...

I bought a mk2 impact when it first came out and can never just take it out of the cabinet and hit right where I left off with it.its always a few inches one way or another. Its super reliable at holding air though. My mk1 wildcat was always on. My L2 can sit forever and it's right on the money. Nice being able to just grab it and know it's on.

Delay Circuit for compressor

I have done it but not on a PCP compressor. On my 60 gallon shop compressor I mounted an auxillary fan with a time delay relay setup. It is configured so the auxillary fan turns on when the compressor turns on and remains running for a preset period of time after the compressor turns off. My timer went from 0 to 60 minutes if I am remembering correctly.

I was able to find a Chinese knock off of a name brand for less than twenty dollars on the delay timer. If you are interested I will remove the cover from the electric box and take a picture for you. Note that the setup I put together is too bulky to fit inside the case of most PCP compressors.

Results  July 5 TEXtreme Bench-Rest Silhouette Match Report

Some of us have missed our usual quarterly Bench-Rest Silhouette matches, that have been regulated to second-fiddle this season in favor of allowing more TEXtreme Field Target matches/practice for the 2025 TEXtreme Grand Prix and State Championships. Despite unfavorable weather forecasts we had five shooters make the slog to (and during) Saturdays match to work out their BRS rigs; the five shooting a total of 13 scorecards distributed between three classes. Thankfully the Central Texas Rifle & Pistol Club’s bench-rest range is well covered from precipitation; not so from gusty, swirling winds. Also thankfully, precip kept temperatures in the 80s.

Having arrived during the previous rimfire Bench-Rest Silhouette match results meeting, upon hearing their high score posted on the same course, distances, and 1/10 scale silhouette targets was 35/40, I commented “We’ll beat that” (with airguns). I was close.

Eric Pianori won the 100 Pound Pellet class by tying aforementioned best rimfire score with an excellent 35/40. Eric shot a Nightforce NX8 scoped Scout Evo, firing 45 grain AEA pellets 905 FPS to take the Match Winner hat pin. Great Shooting, Eric!

John Tafoya was second in 100 FP Pellet with a 30/40., shot with an Element Optics Nexus scoped .30 Daystate Delta Wolf firing 50.5 firing AEA pellets 936 FPS. Good shooting, JT.

I chickened out of shooting the 35 Foot Pound Pellet class after about 30 practice shots in the gusty winds at 100 yards. That left only two shooters to contest the whiffle-ball… I mean, 35 foot pound class.

John Tafoya prevailed for the wind… correction, WIN with an excellent-for-conditions 25/40. His Tract Optics Toric scoped Red Wolf shot 21 grain AEA pellets 865 FPS. Good shooting, JT.

Ron Robinson won the (100 foot pound maximum) Slug Class, also posting a 35/40. My .177 QB/Gauntlet hybrid project now spans almost a half-century of evolution, starting with the custom stock I had built in the late seventies (for a Crosman 160). A decade ago that stock found its way to a Chinese-made QB77 Deluxe that I purchased brand-new for $159 about Y2K; that rifle capturing a field target national champion title in 2009 after conversion from Co2 dual-cartridge power, to regulated HPA bottle. Power upgrade a couple years ago virtue of a Gauntlet valve transplant transformed her into a small-caliber, tack-driving slug-gun. FWIW, to this day she retains the original Chinese Co2 rifle barrel and action.


The only (five-shot) shot group shot Friday night to check my zero at 100 yards (.80" center-to-center)-

QB 80 at 100.jpg



Ten-shot ‘group’ shot in Saturday’s match, good for a ten-in-a-row rams hat pin—

QB 10 rams.jpg


The .177 QB/Gauntlet slug-gun fires 16 grain H&N slugs 868 FPS, for a whopping 26.8 foot pounds. She wears a vintage 4-18X Bushnell Trophy scope (set to 16X for BRS).

Jim Byrd came second in Slug class with an excellent 33/40. He also hit ten-in-a-row pigs. Jim’s .22 Skout shoots 36 grain Corbin slugs 930 FPS, and is topped with an Athlon Midas Tac scope. Good shopping, Jim.

Many thanks to the shooters that made the drive. Hope y’all enjoyed the match as much as Maggyy and I.

Happy Shooting,
R & M

FX  [HELP] FX Impact M4 – Regulator Adjuster Pin Spinning Freely – Need to Replace Both Reg Parts

Yeah was going to say most vids show pulling the trigger assembly. I would suggest watching sub12 airgunners (ok I guess there is a European channel I watch) video on the impact reg rebuild. He makes it look easy and uses a couple techniques that I think may come in handy. Ones I didn’t think of when I tore into an amp reg. I’ll be honest I found it an utter PIA to do. The video guys make it look so easy. Lol I guess I just need to get more proficient. There is a small oring in the very bottom of the regulator body. That one is a little mother —— to get back into place. Sub 12 shows a good approach and method. You get that right away you will be good.

Thinking about purchasing this oil water separator....is it a good option? is there a better value i should consider?

Bought one of these for my GX3 compressor last week, since I live in central Arkansas where we often have pretty high humidity. Works as advertised and easy to use. Pleased to have gotten it.

Tuning  A tuning test for the experts

how many shots in that string? If a 100, then maybe not so bad.... if 10 then yea, awlful
Id like to see the string, in order of being shot..... Shot to shot differnces will show more performance data than HI/LO/AVG/ES/SD alone

did they only shoot one string? that limits your data too.... yea its work but if you want the best setup then you gotta work at it

Kalibrgun  Steyr pro x 4,5

i can't answer your question as i'm new to the sport and know nothing about all of this....that said I thought it might help others if i did a google translate to english:

Hello everyone, I am writing from Italy and I have been thinking about the Steyr Pro X for a while. I have HW 100, Kalibrgun Cricket, carbines and Diana Stormrider, always 4.5 mm and under 7.5 joule. I like shooting without support and in sequence and I think a semi-automatic would be a lot of fun. In Italy the only carbine under 7.5 joule (for higher energy you need a gun license) is the Pro X, but, apart from the outrageous cost, I don't like the weight of the trigger, 500 grams. Mine are all under 300, and I like them that way. Is there a way to make it lighter? Steyr says it is technically impossible. Thanks Mauro

I did find this thread that discusses this topic:

I also did an AI search and it stated the following:



Adjusting the trigger pull on a Steyr Pro X requires understanding its unique design and features
.
1. Trigger Blade Adjustment:
  • The trigger blade itself can be adjusted by loosening a countersunk screw.
  • This allows movement of the trigger blade left or right and longitudinally, adjusting its position relative to the shooter's finger.
2. External Adjustments (for fine-tuning):
  • Once the trigger blade is set, you can use the externally accessible adjustments for further fine-tuning.
Note on Pro Hunters vs Pro X:
  • Keep in mind that information regarding trigger adjustments on other Steyr models, like the Pro Hunter, may not apply directly to the Pro X.
  • For example, the Pro Hunter has a single adjustment screw that affects both set and standard trigger weights, which might not be the case on the Pro X.
Disclaimer: These instructions are based on online forum posts and general principles of trigger adjustment. Always consult your owner's manual or a qualified gunsmith for specific instructions and safety procedures for your particular Steyr Pro X model.
