.075 actually sounds high to me. The type of barrel, with or against the wind, barometric pressure , and velocity all affect the bc calcs. I don't have numbers for you but can measure them here at 3000 ft elevation if needed. In the 20.2 shooting I've done, they were more wind sensitive and...

My first air rifle was a 760 in 1974... it was such a POS that it started my airgun love, looking for something that would actually shoot where pointed. It would shoot bb's almost well enough as we didn't have very high expectations but with the Cros pellets of that era, couldn't hit a pop can...

Seems like it was late summer of 2018...

These are my favorites , though I've acquired a few 1377/1322's that are fun also. These were part of a big group I bought around around 1993 or so for $5 each and a small number of other brands for $10 each . These are Mendoza Competencia's and are every bit as accurate as my FWB124 but better...

In addition to this, the faster the twist, the more it's gonna buzz in the air... So... a high bc projectile , going slow, at a slow twist rate, should be the quietest... Also, again intuitively, the more air it displaces (caliber size), the more noise... That makes a high bc 177, going slow...

Disappointing experience ... for sure... I know Tom and it's hard to believe a scenario where he wouldn't take care of this, but things aren't so simple for him right now with the barrel making enterprise. It was tempting to actually go down there(2 hours) and get the parts from him and get...

I just wanted to confirm this statement ... In 2018, I went to the IWA in Germany with Robert of AoA... it was one of the highlights of the show to meet the owner/engineer of Huben. It was all through an interpreter but he showed us the rifle, which was designed as a slug shooter in 22. It's...

Bummer... but thanks for the early notification Ron... Stay dry... Bob

Nice...👍 If your stock could handle it , looks like that tube mount block would interchange with the Wolverine ... Interesting ... I've never owned or looked inside a Renegade... At least 3 years ago there was discussion about upgrading the Wolverine to higher power capabilities ... looks like...

Looks like you have a very good handle on these rifles. As mentioned above , they just don't have much plenum so it's going to be a struggle to get them very pumped up. In 22, the Wolverine taps out at about 47 ft lb in stock guise. It's not going to be a lot better but you're pushing the 25...

I would agree with your best statement ... VERY nice carry weight and balance with a good pump mechanism. Valve needs some work though. I've had several and hung onto one that is all steel and wood with the hex peep. Re-blued it and put a 20 cal LW on it back a few years. My bluing is not too...

I'm with you on that question ... In my view, the Red Wolf and Air Wolf have the highest efficiency, the Harper valve equipped 177 and lower powered 22s are next, then the older valves, THEN the Ghost/Delta valves. It seems that DS are using a Ghost valve or at least based on it on the...

👍 I like that change... Nice pistol , btw...

I'm GLAD you pushed through on the Pistol FT and definitely there needs to be a LIMIT. I've enjoyed your builds and Scott's as well. Scott's valve work is particularly interesting to me and I'm appreciative of the sharing of his projects. Of course , both of you are influential to a lot of us...

Over the years, I've been asked to get more power, change caliber, change the form, etc., for things in production. It has sometimes been fun and sometimes fairly tedious and frustrating. MOST of this is probably on me when I've "brainstormed around the campfire " with friends. I've been...
