I went through a similar rodeo in the last couple of months. It sounds to me like your reg is high and the hammer does not have enough energy to open the vale fully. Increasing reg pressure has to be paired with increased hammer energy. The Crown's method of increasing hammer spring tension is...

I had this happen with a .22 Crown. I installed a slug kit and got the velocity I wanted. Ron

Go to the FX website and look for your gun under Support. You will find drawings and sizes there, Ron

I have an Arkin scope. 34mm tube and 25X, I don't remember the name. I bought it for the reticle and turrets both being in mils, and I found this to be very useful. I don't think I would buy another scope without this feature. Ron

Helow, Sam. I can send you my best wishes from Idaho and wish you well on your move to air power. It is a journey that some find hard to start. So, please. let us know how it is going. Ron

BBGun, thank you for a well written start to this thread. I get what you are saying. I too am old school when it comes to rifles, but I recognize the importance of modern sporting rifle design as well as competition to our sport. If I showed you one of my rifles, chances are 75% that it would...

I thought for $1500 (what I thought was a lot for a pellet gun at the time) the damn case it came with should fit the damn rifle with a scope. This is far too true. Ron

Good is a relative term. For many years, I felt that a good air rifle was a 2 MOA rifle. I still do. Two MOA at 75 yards is 1.1/2 inches, and the 8 ring on the EBR target is 2 inches. If you shot all your shots into the 8 ring, you would have a good score. Do I still shoot EBR with the Marauder...

Those waffles were good! Ron

I like it. Bench resters need a little steel to take the edge off after shooting a few cards. Ron

Firstly, PGinsandiego How did this all turn out? I have shot with adjustable apertures and they really help for both indoors and outdoors. Focus on the front sight and concentrate on aligning the sights and the target. You will be fine. BTW I shoot a FBW 150 Ron
