500 is still on the lower end for a decent quality optic ime.

I kinda want one for an fx 😂

Can confirm the gen 1 stuff, I am one of the few with an early gen 1 floating around still with my gm barrel 25.

Like @JimD says there is no concrete list of rules. It's trial and error, but i would start somewhere around 800 and work my way up till groups fell apart or the gun starts talking (getting wasteful) for pellets if you can send them that speed... Which you should be capable of. One of my...

We need more honeycomb objective lense device options. I have to put my hand in front of my objective after every shot for smarter quarry. I realized the crows know what it is.

Just my opinions. Also don't cheap out, you won't regret a decent optic if your airgun is precise. First focal always because your calculations and poi don't change based on zoom you zeroed with vs zoom you're using. You can miss, take mental note of where it hit if you saw with the reticle...

In 22 my buddies gun was the most precise at 930 fps with hades pellets. It was a confounding thing.

I'm using a 380mm pellet liner and I'm shooting the 25.4 kings accurately out to birds at 110 yards thus far. My mrod just falls apart almost exactly at 75 yards no matter the velocity, weather, wind, or angle. The pellets start to big spiral like magnus is getting them.

It's a pain but the custom mold thing isn't insurmountable, I cast zero for airguns but was casting a bunch of esoteric stuff for pb years back. It's attainable. Or you gotta make your own. I suppose my view is tainted by being slightly attached to aerospace machining and having a lathe...

Look for a paintball tank of 90 inches or so and a fill station valve with the right thread as a buddy bottle or a commercial jb guppy tank etc. That with a small compressor can keep you going pretty well. You don't have to wait for the compressor to fill your gun and you can fill the bottle...

Like max trouble said, 800 to 900 on diabolo pellets, you may be able to stray higher or lower but if it's like my gen 1 mrod 25 you won't get too far past 900. Ironically the exact king is the only one that will go. As fast as 850 out of my gun but at that speed it's very very accurate and...

A custom gun would have a custom mold I would assume. I don't see a point going as large as 284 or 30 personally, but it doesn't mean my take is good. 284 is just one of my pet pb bores. 110 fbhp have worked out of a 7rm but why bother... I love the pursuit of something just to see if we...

My pard is an adapter (nv007?) style not a whole scope, before I disparage something I don't own.

Bonus points for work hardening data. 😁

It just keeps all the tins in a log
