When you make scopes for everyone else, when do you have time to make scopes for yourself?

It's not making one for yourself it's time to swap brand labels and box it goes in .. heck probably they make enough money off other branding runs no need to brand there own stuff. Just collect there cut..

Discovery did have a nice 8x and a 10x straight power scopes that did not bust your bilfold ..

This listing has been renewed

had to drill it out behind it no other way oring was like melted or somthing keeping it stuck in place

So my first match, I borrowed someones gun who had it all setup and doped and all. I shot a 58/60 so instantly was hooked. Havent done that well again lol. Ive shot a fair amount of FT last year as it quickly became my favorite shooting discipline. There are so many combos and setups you can do and none are right or wrong. Glass does make a difference and the guys using Sightrons and Nightforce claim they have perfect ranging. I had no issues with my Argos BTR 6-24 Gen2, until it got darker in the woods, then I struggled but so did they. I had bought a Marauder with LW barrel in .177 as recommendation from people here, never shot it in a match, After I borrowed a gun, I went and bought my own, an AirArms S510XS. Amazing gun. The Marauder i just as accurate I believe as the s510 but I prefer the s510 over it for looks, fit and finish. The marauder is now a backup or to lend out to someone. It absolutely can be done for less money and still be semi successful but I will say, confidence is huge in this game. Having good equipment that you can count on and are confident in the longer shots will make all the difference. Good equipment will help with that ranging at 51yards in a dark shaded lane where one scope reads 42yards and others read the actual 51yds. Ranging is everything here along with an acceptable accuracy. An avenger in 177 should get the job done but unless your holding 1/2" at 50yds (1MOA), your going to have more misses just based on the inherit accuracy of the gun, let alone all the other factors involved.
I love HFT and wish I could shoot it locally weekly.
Get a 177 and id recommend going with a larger objective and tube scope for more light. Get something you can fine tune the fps so you can shoot 10.5gr and try the 13.4gr (I cant adjust my finely so I cant shoot the 13.4gr, puts me over 20fpe). The Gen2 Athlon Argos is a decent scope and would suffice for most your needs. The gun is up to you but whatever you get, id want the most accuracy at 50yds you can get for your money. (research this heavily as $$ buys accuracy to a point). Buy some good quality named pellets and go shoot. My setup would be a Marauder with LW barrel,Huma regulator, Argos BTR 6-24 scope, JD Customs wheel, and Benjamin Match 10.5gr pellets. You should be able to get that for your budget if your willing to buy used. $300 for the scope, $500 for the gun or less,$100 for the Huma reg, and $100 for the wheel and $100 for pellets. Report back.

Thank you for your kindness, poop happens. tough to accept just a few years ago we were in Oahu swimming. thanks doing extra hobby stuff to not remember.

I had carefully applied heat to the ball plunger to soften up the spring inside. It definitely helped.

The 2.5 is fairly small, but it is big enough to get my small fingers in there. The bigger one is much better. All depends what size hands you have, if you have larger hands, get the big one. I have fairly small hands, so tye 2.5 works great for me.

The exact second I realize it is leaking.

I don't think they will fit the magazine they are to long, I can check and let you know for sure if you want.

Before that GTA member made me the clipping jig I would just take the point off with nail clippers

Ya, I've used clippers on Predators, didn't seem to affect accuracy. About 40yds max either way. Bill and Addi.

Keeping my Impact MKII fed and oringed up keeps me plenty busy, I would not know how to cope with 14.

I don't own an FX or anything else high end. All of mine are simple guns.

Merry Commerce to all my forum friends.

Old thread but - damn - i just learned a bunch!

You can hybrid it and use both eyes to find and align your target and close one right before the shot, you get all the benefits and still feel confident in your shot, while training yourself.

Great pics and nice shooting. I enjoyed the post. Happy New Year.

I have noticed that my pcp fires the first shot slightly faster, 10-15 fps. What would cause this

Click to expand...

Most likely the hammer spring tension is adjusted heavy (operating on the velocity plateau or close to it).

Looks awesome on the rifle. I need one for my shrouded Bullpup 30 cal!

top rail and then some..

Just got a bog death grip. World of difference over my cheap $10 monopod.

I have known only one person who served as a sniper (Marine recon). From what he said, I can't imagine them ever going on a mission without having every maintenance item done, they aren't out there to tinker with their weapon.

What a close fit!

Before we get too far into the new year what are upcoming dates for major matches... Nationals Regionals Etc.

USARB nationals when and where?

N50 Nationals, when and where?

EBR Matches when and where?

Thank You,
Paul

Absolutely pristine with everything you need to do a full rebuild if needed. Also comes with bat moderator…scope can be purchased for an additional amount, but does not come with gun. This is a laserbeam you can put 30 shots in basically one hole at 50 yards all day long. It’s almost ridiculous check out the reviews also shoot slugs FX hybrids with great groups at 100+ yards and plenty of power super easy to adjust comes with factory original walnut stock and a factory synthetic stock all parts are from Ed gun. This is a hard gun to find gun in the long model and it’s a beautiful, beautiful gun. This is not a desperate sale so the price is firm. I would probably be interested in taking a trade, and some money or equal value gun. also, this thing is super quiet very backyard friendly. Price is $1850.00 firm new owner will pay for shipping which will be three days select and insured.


full seal kit and also comes with the factory regulator…
2 moderators
Huma reg installed by dealer
new dealer xtra valve
new springs set
new synthetic gun stock
6 six factory magazines and O-rings for them.
If interested, I prefer to speak to people 209-984-6322 Dean have excellent reviews on here and eBay

$20 shipped .. PayPal ff or add the fees

It always makes me laugh when you tubers or other folks on forums refer to a $500 scope as "budget"...

I know that you get what you pay for, but you also have to stay in your lane...

I ain't throwing a Nightforce scope on an Avenger...

Blackhound, Arken, yes... UTG, West Hunter at the bottom end, yes. Perfect...

I like NSA as he is great to listen and from the state of Misery. Be Well, B.
