After finding this rotated my radiator. Noted a definite increase in water flow. Not sure how air could have been in it with 75hrs on it, but it did change. Finally got some longer run times on it today at the range and temps are down also. Haven't took actual readings yet but it's certainly...

Totally agree, 120%. Got into airguning last year and after getting water into my big bore twice, I've maybe went a bit overboard on filtration. But not getting any now. 1st is centrical filter, 2nd has color changing silica beads, 3rd has moleculer seave. I'd rather have a the longer run time...

Big bore turkey. Shot this yesterday evening after work with my Challenger Elite .457, shot was about 30yds. Why the big bore for turkey hunting? Use what you've got, but definitely a head shot only shooting a 300gr hollow point. Can put 6 shots in a penny at 50yds off tripod or I wouldn't have...

Thanks. Lots to learn at this. Different than plinking steel, and hunting. Hopefully reach off hand at some point.

Watched some ytvid's on sighting thru a diopter, really help since 1st I've ever used. Shot another paper before this doing adjustments. Really took my time on this one. #1 was early trigger pull. Shouldn't have shot 17 & 18 as I started a sneezing fit after 16 and didn't wait long enough after...

Not yet impressive, but at least I'm getting to shoot. Like this shooting indoors, can unwind at end of the day without lugging stuff outside. Using tripod because by end of the day I'm done with being on my feet and just want to sit down and relax. Two things I've learned quickly; is trigger is...

1st 10 meter PCP. Received free be pure chance. No where close to everyone's pic's I see here. And I was shooting off a tripod, 10yds is best I can get shooting wall to wall. Totally different than my big bore and something to get used to.

65 acres and 3/4 of my property is so steep timber isn't accessible. Great deer hunting though so long as they don't go down in the wrong place. 3 hours getting large 8 pointer out last year. Dropped after about 20yds then kicked and slid 50yds down side mountain and then over a 20ft rock ledge...

This is 60+ year old, 1x6 saw milled Red Oak. Wood is so hard can't drive a nail in it without drilling a pilot hole. What I like about using reclaimed wood is there's no finishing work, and precision jointer isn't required. Just slapping it together as is, and close enough, just adds to the...

Got a 10 meter Crosman Challenger Pro recently so needed to make an indoor pellet trap, plus getting to many guns and all else that accumulates once you start down the PCP rabbit hole. (It's to shallow for my big bore though.) Live in a small family fatm house built in 1903 so space is limited...

Thanks for the feed back and the video. Seems easy enough, but for the small parts and my fumble fingers. Certainly not something I'd do upstairs in my old farmhouse where my stuff is, way to many cracks in the floor for small parts to vanish forever into. Been busy today working rusty old...

Just had this fall into my hands today and know nothing about it. Was talking to someone today about my current project of making pellet traps for some indoor shooting of my break barrel and 40+ yr old bb pistol my dad found stored away. They said they had this laying around unused for several...

Thank you. Being first air gun everything has been a steep learning curve. Especially since nothing ever seems to work straight out of the box for me. Even had to fix collapsing legs on new Bog tripod I bought. Strom Helene hit just as ready to get back to gun. Devastated my driveway, ridge top...

Life got in the way of finishing up getting my gun right so feel this update is over due. Replaced Regulator Core twice. The 1st I backed out to far and blew an o-ring (have since replace that and so have a spare reg core now). The 2nd I damaged over time by adjusting reg pressure down without...

I use my GX4 in a hot unconditioned 2nd floor of an old farm house. Filling a tank it gets hot, so once at 130dgr water temp I start cycling it. I've been thinking of one of the small bedside A/C units at Walmart for the intake. Couldn't hurt, though my wife might steal it. Don't have any issues...
