Welcome, lots of great advice on here about anything airgun.

Was looking at Nikko's website and looking at scope retailers

The main differences I can see are the price and the Diamond Sportsman is not illuminated/made in Japan?

Nikko Diamond Sportman 10-50=$973
Nikko Hornet ED 10-50 = $736

Anyone have first hand experience with these scopes (IQ, ranging, holding zero, repeatability?). I did a quick forum search...didn't turn up much.

Brand new Alsafe 300bar bottle
480cc, manufactured 05/2023

JSB KO .30s produce very good accuracy in my Superior Heavy liner.

I think that using water for the slug expansion testing does not deliver accurate results though.

I caved and began practicing indoors, which limits me to 17’ shooting distance. The good thing is that with the ability to control lighting, and shooting off my “bench,” I can get more accurate shots. No wind, no wobbles, just concentrate on aim, breath, and trigger finesse. Lots of pellets into the same hole. It allowed me to see that I should adjust windage screw on the pistol a little bit and then see the improvement right away.

The rifle gets the bench treatment next time. With that gun, after testing it similarly to today’s pistol session, I might ditch the bench and do some practice sitting on the floor, without any support other than triceps on bent knee. That’s still a shorter distance than most outdoors shooting, but at least the rest is the same.

I agree with rsfrid about the satisfaction derived from putting the pellet exactly where the gun was aimed, regardless of distance. The targets can be smaller with shorter distance; easy to see.

And a plug: The Big Bang Pellet Trap is wonderful!

Well that's a big fat NO for me. I love shooting them but taking them apart is a big fat NO....there are a few rifles that are super easy like the Redwolf or a FX Crown but this I will definitely pass. I will just shoot this one.

Me too !!

Hello from Az USA. I won one of your tanks at RMAC 2 years ago. The gauge leaks I tried replacing with an FX gauge still leaks. Tried emailing your company in Sweden twice with no response. So I’ll try this. My last inquiry was trying to find a dealer in AZ. really want to use your tank and replace my omega because it appears to be quite a bit lighter for the same size.

Hello again, I have sent you a message to your email, get back to me and we will of course solve the problem. Regards John

There are 1/2 20 extenders out there to push the moderator out a little.

My mk2PP has the short stroke cocking lever, 720 plenum and power block. M3 butt stock along with a 580 cc tank. Only thing I miss over the m3 is the ease of micro adj on the M3.

Might be worth holding off for chambers...."notify me" works but no telling how long to wait. I've generally found chambers to be cheaper both price and shipping.

but if you need it now then you need it now....

A mini?! How cool is that? I've got a female standard sized with similar markings as your mini. I also had a male, years ago when I lived in New Orleans. But all my dogs are rescued in some way and Moxie is the first cattledog to come my way since. Anyway, I've got a thing for Blue Heelers. Sorry for the momentary derail.

toy mini.. full size was behind laying down.. let me see if I have a picture of the mini I had but my daughter wanted her so she is with my daughter.. she was a regular mini, not a toy mini like my picture is..
my toy mini is the only one that I have had in years that was not a rescue.. both the one my daughter has and my full size red/blue heeler were rescued.. yes I'm partial to heeler but if you are running cattle the boarder Collie and a blue heeler makes a good team.. the border Collie guides the front of the heard and the heeler keeps them together and going where you want them..

Looking to buy a .30 moderator for a 700 mm .30 fx dreamline. Let me know what you have available, thanks

I always thought Ted's old starling & HOSP videos were the best.

Edit: correct a typo.

1 pack. Altaros atp smooth 22. 32.3gr slugs. $20 shipped usps priority, PayPal F/F

I'm building my own .22 (5.5mm) PCP with 20-24inch (500-600mm) barrel and trying to come up with most efficient setup.
So by valve's gonna be traditional valve, not balanced of any sort. shooting 27gr slug, at around 950-970fps out of 600mm barrel (might be lower for 500mm), and running around 135-140bar for regulator.

My question is, what should be the most efficient setup?
1. Throat diameter, proppet diameter (I learnt that proppet should be 2mm larger than throat in diameter, I use peek).
2. Valve steam diameter 2 or 2.5 or 3mm for better efficiency?
3. Hammer weight and travel? I have my impact M3 hammer at 24gram, 20-22mm travel, huma spring and had great success with 960fps 27gr out of 600mm barrel but since M3 valve is some sort of balance valve, I don't know if that hammer weight could be applicable for a traditional design. Have around 58 shots, 230bar fill out of 500cc tank at 135bar reg pressure of my M3.
4. Does valve seat shape in figure A & B play a role in efficiency or open force, hence lighter or heavier hammer weight?
5. What's better, a heavier hammer or heavier spring?

For give me for my ignorance but I'm willing to learn and this forum is the best place! Scouted some of the posts around hear but haven't found one that suits my particular setup.

Best

Thank you Florida Man I didn't think to look on the Sightmark site for that mount. I still need to find a mount to raise the scope and mount high enough to clear the mags like what I posted pictures of? The Eagle Vision mounts are nice and pricey but they are all picatinny. I tried just mounting the borrowed Sightmark directly on to the receiver rail on my gun but it is too wide so the receiver is 11mm dovetail underneath the narrow pic rail above. Kind of hard to describe.

I tried one with my pard but it didn’t work.

Something like this

Hi, Matthias.

I just saw your post. The reason I did not initially include the link is because I didn't create the thread yet.
