Welcome. 25Cal is a nice hunting choice. Expect 1-2moa accuracy with slugs in most pcps even the high end ones. There are some that do better but its kinda rare and usually a lot of work. If accuracy is what you are after for hunting power levels there is a short list of proven setups many of us here like to use.

It’s so confident in itself now that it bravely parked in the executive parking lot. Well, the black aluminum parking lot. The guns with nice wood get to park in the garage.

Ok now you are just showing off ! Parking lot looks very competent.
Once again kudos on your non wood units.

I like foxes, but that murderous thief was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Love how close it looked in the video… Good shooting on that thieving bastage…

Yesterday I contacted Utah Air guns and ordered a new OEM regulator with the newer brass piston. The cost was only $46.44. Don't know if the O ring in the body is included. If not, I'll just go with what's included with the regulator. I think all the regulator O rings will come installed. Looking at that witches hat photo, I think I could easily make one from the removable tip on a cheap mechanical lead pencil I have.

The price is the same as in Spain, the regulator seals come all installed, in an attached support (a screw) you get the Bella-Ville washers, it also comes with a bag with some lubricant, it also contains the O-ring that is installed in the body, that is, the kit is plug and play.

Finally!! An air rifle with ZERO O-rings

And no POI shift!

I finished the rest of that 50 yard target yesterday so I finally measured my lucky group. I'll call this half inch (MOA) ctc

Here's the rest of the target which are far more indicative of my 50 yard springer groups with a light breeze. Bottom

This why I don't believe in posting just cherry picked groups. There's a big difference between shooting a half inch group and saying it shoots half inch groups.


Happy 4th everyone.

Lefties have been covered threw the years by many top level manufacturers, there just rare as hell as they find homes and seldom leave them.

If it's the house/family I suspect there are 3 boys that range in age from 12 to 19. There's a service road that runs along the back of the yards. The 12 year old walks around quite a bit. They're new to the neighborhood... no harm, no foul I was doing the same thing when I was his age. I'm figuring it was a 20 yard shot from their bathroom window... not bad.

you should approach and say, “i found your bird. you like pellet guns? i do too, i bet i can shoot targets farther than you.” introduce him to pcp airguns and watch him tumble into the rabbit hole. who knows, he might do something great for the community.

Without a pressure gauge on plenum or a test fixture ... your only guessing anyways ?
Maxing out the regs adjustment range is really hard on the sealing disk and o-rings in general. While doable the real limiting issue is the bevel washer stack not being stiff enough and flexing too much to create that high a set point.
I would measure the washers thickness & shop for some slightly heavier bevel washers for what your trying to do.

Thank you max, handling them first is great advice. Maybe I’ll see which one is love at first sight

Click to expand...

My guess will be the TX200. Get it in .177. Then again, the HW97k is all business.... gah! The ultimate springer conundrum!

Find a club in your area to solve your dillema!

I've noticed depending on the weather the air guns I have will fluctuate what it displays on the air gauges from day to day even though I haven't used them
I was wondering if anybody else has experienced similar things with the air guns
Sometimes I will leave them in the truck but I was wondering people's thoughts on this specifically pertaining to notices in PSI based on the weather
The fluctuations I've seen have been minor but I've noticed them

Click to expand...

Day to day or hour to hour if the temperature changes enough. Just the other day I had my regulator pressure drop on me just bringing my rifle outside on an abnormally hot day. It was 87⁰ outside at 830 am in the shade and I store my guns in my basement at 67⁰. The first thing that happened was my scope glass fogged up when i opened my gun case. I then shot five decent 5 shot groups. Then started to notice poi changing on group # 6-8. I looked and the regulator psi had dropped by 10+ bar. I turned it back to where it was supposed to be and got back on track for a while. Next time out shooting I'm going to acclimate the rifle ahead of time, but it will still need adjustments depending on temperature fluctuations

Red_Ryder said:

I've been looking for one as well. It's not too difficult to single load the RP as is, but a flip-out style loader of the CARM style would be nice. I have one for my RAW and it works very well.

Click to expand...

I have two CARM single shot loaders also - for my two RAW rifles. Great, simple products! I'm manually loading single pellets in the RP now but wish for a CARM SSL for the RP!

Hi look at thread “DIY Daystate GCU v5 (Red Wolf) programmer„ i made one up myself and just downloaded my high/medium/low settings for my sub-12 pulsar

Click to expand...

Damn, that is awesome! Save over $400 bucks lol. Daystate makes quite the profit on them. Let me know how it works. Not quite understanding, I assume you input everything on the computer since there isn't a keypad. Let me know your experience with it when you tune your pulsar...thanks

I just offered this up for the club.




This is the new challenge at the West Liberty Gun Club airgun range. It’s just for fun and practice.



There is a shooting bench and 150-225 feet away is a set of target range in size from 2 inch down to 1/4 inch . Eight targets in all. The challenge is to go from left to right and shoot all eight targets in a row with an airgun.

Just to get your head in the wrong place . Hehe. The smallest target is 1/4 inch or .25 inch or 6.35mm.

The .177 pellet is 4.5 mm and .22 is 5.5 mm

So after making seven tough shots in the wind, can you put a 4.5 or 5.5 mm pellet on a 6.3 mm target from 150-225 feet away?



Are you feeling lucky??










I made this post directing it toward members of the gun club that have no idea how accurate an airgun can be.

I am trying to stir up interest .

No worries, hope it works great for you. If ya think of any improvements lemme know.

Did you try Crosman Premier Hollow Points? (CPHP)

I just tried them and it looks like they were impacting the paper sideways. Grouped 1” @25yds

markhooper said:

does anyone know if you can use the PCP cylinder that pyramid air sells that has the adapter to screw into a 88 gram CO2 port?
Mark

Click to expand...

Pretty sure you can. I’ve seen a few different HPA mods. One dude went the co2 adapter with big bottle and said he stopped counting at like 250 shots a fill.

Yea, I get that. I'd like to be able to re-tune for different weight pellets when I want. JSB 18.13 are less expensive than FX Hybid slugs, but sometimes you need a slug over a diabolo pellet.

Any owners out there that can offer their personal experience on feeding this guy?

No problem, I understood.

Back_Roads said:

2nd variant, I see a rounded tang and grove, either way very nice

Click to expand...

Still considered a first variant. Not an 1st “A“ (square tongue on the receiver but a 1st “B“ (round tongue on the stock ). This is how the collectors differentiate the two. Crosman categorizes them both as just a 1st variant.

balleforme said:

I agree as stated in this thread that specifically FX should indeed improve more in between their versions to warrant the price increase.

Getting a used Mk2 for $1k is in my opinion a way better deal than a new Mk4 for $2k+ for almost every shooter.

Click to expand...

Agreed. FX seems to have gotten into the habit of introducing newer version of their products (Impacts) every six months along with new models before they are fully developed and de-bugged. On the other end of the spectrum, the English and Germans seem to rarely introduce new models or if they do, after a very long period of time. This is partially our fault for demanding so much from the manufacturers. There are a lot of good ideas and new concepts out there that we get wind of and want right away. Sometimes it's better to wait. The good thing is that we have a lot to choose from. Cheers.

I would research what has worked in the ghost, alpha/delta wolf. I doubt these barrels are much different. Depending what caliber the staples within that caliber are always a great place to start. 22 caliber : 18.1 & 25.39 jsb. 25 caliber : 25.39 & 33.95 jsb. .30 44.75 -& 50.1. Those pellets are so commonly used a lot of manufactures design their barrels around those. I would start to cull at 50 yards and not waste my time with 25.

oh i understand, you get an idea and see where it takes you and that is a rabbit hole
there has been many a time that i have an idea but not the tools, as in lathe and mill
