I agree with the other comments. A 45 caliber hole through the chest will kill a coyote. But no airgun is terribly flat shooting and a 45 bulldog is not the fastest shooting 45. So knowing the range and holding appropriately will be key to success. I like to play around with chairgun (which is no longer supported but if you hunt around I think you can download it for free) to determine where I want to zero the gun. Then I shoot targets out to the maximum distance I plan to use the gun and compare my shooting results to what chairgun predicted. I usually have to adjust the scope height and/or bc of the projectile to get a reasonable match. Then I make stickers to go into my scope caps to tell me the holdover for different ranges. I have a laser range finder but I think it is best to use it ahead of time, especially on a coyote. Know where you will hold for the most likely "show up spots" before the coyote comes in. You also might want to kill a rabbit or squirrel or something to use as bait to get them to come to a specific spot and add some attraction.

Another way to deal with the ranging would be to get a Arken Zulus or similar electronic scope. It has a laser rangefinder built in and will adjust your aim point for you.

Midway USA has a .50 Hatsan Piledriver on sale for $759.67. It says "1 in stock"


The same gun is on sale at Airgun Depot for $899.99 as well as the .45, .50 , and .62 caliber Hatsan Piledrivers all for the same sale price.

I had a tarantula that need new seals probably every two years. Wildcat has had no issues.

Last post guys,
I don't know why I made such a big deal about the TP leaks as both were fixed today with a little fiddling.
The benefit is about 25 fps more velocity .

I have a 90 cu in that I use for a top off or 2

When you talk about "perfection" it sounds like you are asking for fantasy, not something that can be readily constructed by contemporary tooling.

I'd go for some Iron-Man mark-LXXXV nanobot technology. It would be an airgun I could store in a small necklace or ring. It would listen to my mind, and when beckoned, it would transform into a compact and astoundingly light and accurate semi-automatic airgun. It should be able to filter out metal from the air and soil, to produce ammunition, and would be self-charging.

The Alsafe CF bottles I've been using have test and manufacturer dates.

I see hydro testing as an archaic form of destructive testing. US Navy testing showed this as well and is phasing it out.

I remember all the drama when the NAVY went from steel to aluminum to fiber wrapped!

You woulda' thought those firefighters had tac-nukes strapped on thier backs, they were so frightened of the "new" tanks!

Getting away from the wife

Thank you, I sorta have no choice I guess.

Very touching indeed and a nice tribute.
As stated, it is but a very small part that this community can help with your loss Kevin and family.
Your loss has become our loss for a truly wonderful family that have affected all that have dealt with read you posts, or know you.
Peace and healing be with you and your family at this time Kevin.

Both the .22 and .20 have new seals and springs. Both shooting tiny groups with no issues without the moderator on.
The moderator alignment fine and no portion blocking muzzle.

"no other options"
well then since the two things you told me it had to be are not issues. What you got for me next...

been fun and some have been very helpful.
I'm outta here,I tried again but responses like the one above are why I stay away from forums.

From your topic I definitely understood that I don’t need a moderator. So forums are sometimes useful. PS I'm lucky with my neighbors; they like to fall asleep to the sound of gunfire.

@Michael Three shots is still impressive with a gun that you’re not totally familiar with shooting at such a slim target. You weren’t even seated at a bench.

Over 5 yrs. ago we were smart enough to eliminate pennies. Good move. Crow

I love giving Airguns to friends and family. I have given many Red Ryders and Buck 105's.

This year im giving some RR's with mlok forends I printed.

This along with some BB's and the basic crosman 3 swinger target. Makes for a great gift.




Edit: These are technically called a Daisy "Bulls eye" they sell at academy. Its basically a black RR with some extras out of the box.
(The mlok not included, but its does come with plastic furniture)

Nice!! i think i can make something like that. Maybe a lil adjustment for the back...like a car jack(similar to that design...not an actual car jack) to raise and lower. Thought i had one of those cauldwells in the garage...the hunt begins.
Thanks Mike

Why not ? The pros already use car jacks!

And you may already have one of those bipods in the trunk of your car !

Dusty Power's modified unit looks pretty similar to mine!

Also make note of the "X" receivers having 2 generations.


Early X's were just a stretched HM gaining the inch at the barrel end of receiver.
Later X's ( HM,BM & TM ) they opened up the Lower plenum diameter at bit which also required a different regulator using larger threading.

Ahh, I get what you and ctshooter are getting at now.

Thanks for the help all, much appreciated.

FX Wildcat MK III Compact 22 cal

Purchased on here just a couple of months ago and decided to keep my L2. The original owner purchased it from Utah Airguns (UAG) in December 2021.

No modifications other than the digital gauge and carbon barrel liner.

It is currently tuned to shoot Hades @ 860 FPS and shoots with single-hole accuracy at 25 yards.

Includes:

• Hard case
• (1) magazine
• Fill probe w/ compressor fitting
• Original gauge
• Digital gauge charging cord w/ screen protectors and cleaning clothes
• Owners manual w/ test card from UAG
• Several custom stickers.

Scope and mounts NOT included

The asking price is $1,185 Paypal FF or you cover the fees.

After seeing the numbers that members are posting from the pistol, both strings and powers a 15" barrel Carbine ( of course not regulated ) would be bonkers.

What a cool little woods walker it would be.
