    FX Newbie Caliber Question

    Stay with the .25 for small game hunting with the JSB 25.39 gr Diabolo (the most accurate pellet I've found). I have thousands of rounds through my .25 caliber FX Wildcat shooting ground squirrels. I shot more than (400) pellets in one day this season. I have (6) eight shot rotary magazines...

    Different types of Pellets

    FWIW...my FX .25 Caliber Wildcat shoots the JSB 25.39 gr Diablo pellets the best (extremely accurate). I have over 7,000 pellets through it (almost all hunting), and have never changed. Does a number on Sage Rats (GS's). I've made shots to over a 100 yds numerous times with that set-up. I...

    Umarex New Notos arrived

    https://4hunterspk.com/product/jsb-hades-pellets-22-cal-15-89-gr/ I've had the best luck with the JSB Hades 15.89 gr pellets for accuracy in my Notos. A number of three shot .2" groups at 25 yds.

    FX Do FX PCP generally hold an air charge well in storage?

    I've had my FX .25 cal Wildcat for over 6-years. Over 5,000 pellets through it. It's never leaked or cause any kind of problems. I took it out for the first time since last April a couple of days ago to the range with my 40X also. I always try to leave the pressure around the 150 bar when in...

    As a dealer I want tell you the biggest hurdle people have with PCP's

    My $.02 into this discussion. A number of years ago I bought several surplus SCBA (66 cu. ft firefighter tanks) for $50 a piece. They had (9 years still left on the manufacturers date), and I've had them recerted once since then ($35/each) at my local dive shop. They charge $18 a refill to...

    PCP Fill Calculator

    Matt, You are probably correct. I tried another tank calculator and it showed just over 18 refills. My refill hose is 12”. Thanks for your info. 20PPC

    PCP Fill Calculator

    Stubbers, I use the Pyramyd PCP Fill Caculator (always wondered how accurate it was??). I use 66 cubic foot SCBA tanks filled to 4500 PSI. MY FX has a 300cc tank. I fill it to 3300 PSI and refill it at 150 BAR. I get 48 shots (six mags) before refilling. The Pyramyd Caculator shows 19...

    Snowpeak Snowpeak M16

    Another vote for the Discovery scopes. Clarity is very good on their ED models. Even the others are okay for under $200 bucks. I've had several for air guns and liked them. The best for my eyes has been the Discovery ED 3-15x50. Exceptional scope for around $355. Wes at Airgunarcheryfunstore...

    30 minute SCBA tank

    FWIW, I have several 66 cubic foot ( :45 duration) SCBA surplus firefighter tanks. They are still legal in manufacturers date and recert date. A reputable shop will not recharge them unless they are. I get about 800 shots out of a fully charged to 4500 PSI bottle on my FX .25 caliber...

    Snowpeak Snowpeak m60b and refill tank?

    I agree with Firewalker. I use 66 cu ft SCBA firefighter surplus bottles. I bought several of them surplus several years ago for $50 each. They had nine years left on the maunufacturer fifteen year date. I recharge them at my local dive shop to 4500 psi. Cost $18 per recharge, I've done the...

    Umarex Notos and Bug Buster

    ll I've had several Discovery scopes on air guns through the years. All have been decent...but by far the ED 3-15x50 Discovery has been the best. The clarity of the ED glass is pretty close to my Swarovski's (the best glass out there in my opinion) for my cf rifles. Wes at...

    Umarex Notos and Bug Buster

    This is my third scope on the Notos. Discovery 3-12 compact. I like it the best. Balances nicely. Clarity is good.

    UX notos, Artemis m60, or AGT Vixen?

    FWIW, I've had my Notos for a couple of months.. Very impressed. For $250 bucks it's hard to beat! The trigger was terrible, but I've worked it over to a respectible 2 1/2#. Not a match trigger by any means...but okay. It needs aftermarket mags. That's about it. No other changes. Very...
