Hatsan  Have anyone chrony the hatsan Velox in .177?

In my country you can buy the Velox in .177, but Hatsan rate it inexplicably low power compared to the .22. Maybe the system gets pretty ineficient in .177, but I would like to see a chrony test somewhere.
Modelovelox
Calibre4,5 mm/.177cal5,5 mm/.22cal6,35 mm/.25cal
Máx. Velocidad de salida (*)203 m/s (670 fps)188m/s (620fps)175m/s (580fps)

that looks like a chart I remember seeing from hatsan on the velox before it was released.. and if I remember correctly the numbers all look as I remember
I've got the 22 caliber second batch from pyramid air..
I have never seen the 177 caliber listed anywhere for sale.

Umarex  Ruger Blackhawk .177 break barrel

Are you shooting with the artillery hold? May have missed it in the previous posts. Plenty of YouTube videos on it. Made a difference with a cheap springer my brother had. Takes a lot of practice and you have to be consistent with your hold on the rifle.
No, I do not, and please don't laugh. I made a bag rest out of an old shaving bag filled with sand, which i place on my BBQ grill lid, when not in use lol. Then while sitting on a stool I relax aim and take my shot. Just getting into shooting after retirement. Not too steady when trying to just hold the rifle will have to practice more, I'd say. Thanks for that advice. Watched the you tube and I kind of do that just may be holding too tightly

Airbug or Chaser ?

you take the wood grips off and the barrel and front sight and you have a Chase
the Airbug would have a different tube end piece so the grip screw has something to screw into
the Airbug has the CP1 barrels setup and grip
the Chaser would be a CP2 in the UK
the grip of the chaser is fine and so are the sights and of course the grip take the shoulder stock if you could get a rifle barrel
now the wood grips they have change over time but some think they are uncomfortable
and the Bug has a mag

Other  HOW TO CA

Does anyone know how to get PCP air rifles shipped to San Diego California?

As others have said, avoid “sellers” who (for whatever reason) won’t ship to Ca.
I can’t say that I blame them either, because the state has virtually unlimited legal resources, that could quickly drain those of a small business and trying to stay on top of all new legislation being passed would be a full time job in itself…

The aselkon has been doing OK.

It seems a lot the similar architecture PCP's coming out of the KRAL factory under various brands have a VERY small plenum on the regulated guns and even lack much pre-chamber volume on un-regulated versions.
Not surprised at all on the weak output numbers.

May look into a heavier hammer spring and test it to see if it might perk things up a bit ?
I definitely might consider it. I'll adjust the regulator first to see if I can get anything over 820 fps on 18 grain or 900 fps on 16 grain pellets.

GX CS4 Exernal Power Supply

I get 13.5V using a dead head on the external power supply. This is on a 25 year old radio shack analogue meter that's very accurate.
Thanks,
The 12 volt external power supply will stay on the shelf unless needed for emergency use, such as failure of the internal power supply. I would buy a GX external supply but GX is out of stock and the GX website says "accessories" are not currently being shipped to the US due to Tariff Wars.

On the other hand, complete compressors are available and on-sale.

Other  Airgun for Squirrel?

I am fortunately in a similar situation. I have rabbits, groundhogs, squirrel, deer, the occasional bear... everybody's behaving, no need for anyone to die. For whatever reason the critters leave my garden alone (probably because I suck at gardening). I gave up on the birdfeeder though because it brought in starlings that would just eat up everything. I began to get the urge to shoot those, put away the birdfeeder instead... was thinking about using airsoft to specifically startle just the starlings but I'm not sure if that ends up being cruel
We get starlings, sometimes red - winged blackbirds in late winter, very early spring in large flocks so I just stop putting out birdseed for a few weeks. I can go out and just discharge my air rifle, or simply clap my hands and it scares them off, at least for a few hours. I used to see a lot of rabbits but no longer since hawks have made a comeback.. Years ago when my son, now 48 years old, was little we caught several little bunnies and put in an empty wading pool for him to play with. After he went to bed I went out and turnedthem loose and momma rabbit was close by to take them back to the woods

97 cubic foot tank or 4500 air compressor for being a couple hundred miles away from civilization 2000 to 3,000 shots per day thank you

I don't have any suggestions but I do have a question...
3000 shots a day for 2 weeks? Can I go with you? ;)
Sorry buddy when I put up this post the thoughts in my head were of me using it 22LR and a lot of high cap magazines I am just switching to PCP air guns bought myself an fx impact M4 sniper trying to obtain as much information as I could when I belong to a hunting club for many years guys would go up to Eureka Nevada small town all the farmers up there have thousands and thousands of ground squirrels that are the size of footballs basically I would do headshots after 50 yards move the vehicle continue shooting ended up having an extremely sore thumb from loading the mags most shooting I've done consecutive day after day after day everyone was complaining and had a red thumbs and black from loading the bullets some guys take up their mobile homes and take their reloading equipment with them farmers do not like anything bigger than a 223 I figure if I do that route and go for the 9 hour drive I'm going to want to stay there a while hence wanting to learn about what to take with me other than up there it's sunny one day could snow the next this information I have never shared with anybody outside of the hunting club I just gave this information to one other person who posted but I am in Southern California have a good one buddy take care

N/A  Dont be afraid to ask for help

I was 16 when i was reduced to a healthy 9.75 fingers, so still quite functional, though now decades later in very cold weather, if i let that hand become cold it do feel like someone is pounding on that finger " tip " with a hammer.

#1 advise with PCP, depressurize then the rest is just regular mechanics.

Tuning  .177 for Hunter FT or just a nice hunter

I can see where some stone work and maybe change the intermediate sear angle could drastically improve it.
We never got the Kuzey airguns up here. What are the Reximex like ? Are they close to this?
Reximex is a cross. Shares mags with the Kuzey. More Kral like on trigger and action yet all 3 are a little unique of each other.

Strictly off hand…

I don't know how long you've been shooting the FWB 300 and your RWS 45 and I haven't looked at your form/posture.

If I had to guess, you probably own both for less than 5 years?

you are probably fighting the weight of the 300 instead of using it to your advantage. The FWB 300 is designed for 10M (this is your go to gun for 10 M).

The other aspect is proper attire and accessories...shooting jacket and shooting glove (some say shooting boots...that's one step beyond me).

If you are serious about 10 m ...invest in a new or used shooting jacket and shooting glove.

Then there's breathing...trigger control ...cheek rest...bio feedback/heart rate control...learning to shoot with both eyes open...etc

or just enjoy as is. In general, I would shoot and keep the 300 if I had to sell my air rifles.

The advantages you gain from the 300= better off hand position, appreciation for a match trigger, confidence in you off hand sho
And doth forget to hold your mouth right!
