Did we discuss the caliber in this post ?

Wild turkey? Ninja air fryer, pressure cooker top, 2.5 minutes per pound. Younger birds are more tender, don't go for the size, go for the flavor.
If not pressure cooking, crock pot, low and slow. When the meat falls off of the bone, it's done. If it's dry and rubbery, it still needs some time under the lid .

Thanks for the reply! I went ahead and exchanged for another one today......



Barrel is pointed down, but its crooked too Im gonna say Tractor Supply got a bad batch of these things.

Who knows.

Yeah, that's odd. Must be a bad batch. I got mine from PA. If you can get one that's straight, it's decent gun for not a lot of money after a bit of tuning and break-in. Easy to work on too. If you decide to get another, another easy mod is to fill the compartments under the grips with ballast. Added about 6oz of fine birdshot mixed with epoxy. The extra weight and a lighter trigger really helps with overall shootability.

Pictured is Hardware I'm looking to sell (or trade for pellets, .25 Hades, JSB 25.39, JSB .30, 44.75 or 50.12gr). $50 takes all rings & rail adapters. Hawke Sidewinder 4" wheel is $35 obo. Willing to trade all for pellets mentioned. PM me & we can trade phone numbers & figure things out. EDIT: Mounting hdwre NLA!

O that poor guy"shouldnt ya cook or boil the

Iguana eggs before ya eat them? maybe with some taco sauce?​

Good post and explanations by both. I am a big fan of the short 380mm/.22 crown, as I am a fan of the superlight barrel, and port adjustment. The Crown is definitely ideal for pellets. But my Mk1 will still shoot 25gr slugs @950fps thru a 500mm barrel. I had it doing 36gr @ 880fps thru a 700mm, but it was just silly long. Crowns can shoot slugs just fine, the king is just more optimized toward that. I used a 7gm hammer weight and 150bar tune for slugs on my Mk1. Thing is, the Crown is deadly accurate pretty far out with pellets. And definitely within the range that I normally hunt. For targets and plinking, I find slugs to be unecessary, and overkill. Same for hunting (in my case). Also more expensive, and uses vastly more air. 99% of the time I use 380mm .22 barrel. And set around 16fpe. Dial the port knob and hammer knob, and it's at 33fpe. The Mk1 crown valve is perfectly sized for a .22 caliber gun. (Mk2 valve is bigger, cant recall how much. maybe 6.25 or 6.5mm compared to my 5.5mm?) The plenum is neither large or small. So, it is in a nice happy range where it's not much troubel to turn the power up OR down. Just won't do much more than 55fpe in 500mm/.22, but let's be real. That's still pretty powerful for a .22 airgun.

How fun and great offhand shooting! Nice pics.

I just finished this oak gun cradle today. I've made four of these and I'm selling two. This is 100% red oak with 10 ounce leather in needed areas to protect the finish of the cradled firearm. The oak is finished in boiled linseed oil. The stand I 24" long and 8" wide. It has several adjustable features:

1. Rifle grip support is on a sliding post to fit various stocks.
2. The butt stock horizontal "bolt" holder is made of 1 1/4" oak down that I threaded by hand.
3. The vertical pieces can be removed from the stand for shipment (counter sunk wood screws from the bottom).

I made these cradles because I grew tired of displaying for pictures my long guns lying on the pool table, carpet, or leaning up against a door.

I'm hoping to recover my raw material costs and maybe 25 cents/hour of my time. Yep, I'm a retired hobbyist.

$100 and please add $20 for shipping. This is very solid!

I have several RAW rifles and they all shoot well. Ive been reading about the Balanced valve and I have no idea how it works but I would like to check one out. Is there someone that is making them for sale? I hope I'mnot breaking any rules by asking.

Heck I just bought a 5$ analog gauge that is actually really spot on in terms of accuracy, I am impressed. Reads 2150 psi and my set point is 2150 psi.

They're all hit and miss though. But even my last gauge it replaced is accurate and read about the same.

You can pop the lens off (kind of a pain) and re-calibrate them using your fill gauge if its more precise. Worth doing if you're that desperate, but I'd order another in case, and hey you may win the lottery with it. Just browse aliexpress. These are only 5$ m8 gauge 350 bar

Are you sure your gun has a regulator? I have experience with 2 Cometa orions and neither came regulated. They were good unregulated guns. Almost acted like they had a reg in them. I improved the shot count on my buddies rifle with a shorter stiffer hammer spring.

Yes, I have the SPR long one..
I can manage to replace the hammer and the valve spring if needed

Hello everyone

OK, PLEASE read all of this:
I purchased this rifle 10/03/2023 from High Pressure Pneumatics and have shot a bit over 2000 pellets to date, shoots really good and held air up until 11/12/2023. I noticed that the air cylinder was losing air over night from 3,000 down to 2800. I am not a gun smith and do not want to work on this rifle. It will cost me approximately $25 to $30 to send it back for $3.00 worth of new seal to be installed, so if you are a person that enjoys working on air guns I will offer this at a reduced price of $345.00 and I will pay the shipping to lower 48 states. PLEASE NOTE: I am selling this rifle “AS-IS”, I do not want any misunderstandings concerning this sale.


I originally paid $446.00. Comes with three (3) factory Magazines and all of the original factory accessories and original factory box and another outer shipping box.

If you decide to purchase I will list this on my website so it can be paid with a credit card.

Scope and Rings DO NOT go with the sale.

Ships Free to lower 48 states ONLY.

Please contact me if you have any questions.

Field Target Match Results - Fairless Hills, PA-Sunday Nov 19, 2023

It was another beautiful day at Falls Township for a field target match. Thankfully it was warmer and less windy than last year. We had a record turnout with 21 people. Our woodland course offered an array of challenging targets as well as some designed for our newer shooters. The course's average distance was 27.5 yds. with a 26.3 Troyer before wind and lighting. We had some great scores despite some difficult targets. A special thanks to everyone for their participation and helping clean up. This was our last match of the year. Stay tuned next spring for our 2024 calendar of events!

My original plan was to stick to .22 slugs so I can shoot the 22lr silhouette match at the club. Thats out to 200m though and I think the M3 and Crown may be a bit anemic in the power department for that in .22 at least. 25 maybe? Changing the game plan to shooting 50 and 100 bench seemed more realistic for the platforms and I see alot of guys are using 30 for 100yd

My experience is that diabolo shaped pellets can be really accurate out to 75-80 yards. Things get a bit wonky beyond 80. Maybe they destabilize slightly, maybe wind starts to really move them, etc.

That experience is based on .22 25.4g and .25 25.4g pellets.

This year I’m trying 100 yard target shooting with .30 44 and 50g as well as .25 34g. Hoping the heavier projectiles improve consistency over that last 20 yards.

To me, pellet guns are all about say 60 yards and in. That’s where diabolo shaped pellets really shine.

From all the tuning and fancy stuff I see from the slug shooters on this forum, I’d probably opt for a really nice .22 rimfire if I was going to shoot targets at 100 out to 200. It seems a more practical platform.
