I have a few lanes at the house. I have a target stand 35 yards from my enclosed porch fit zeroing and tuning. A couple other lanes out past 100 yards. I can get 1,000 yards on our farm, if I need to. 1,500 if I shoot from the neighbors farm, although I never have. 

Guns I'm actively plotting for: Impact M3 .35 and M3 Compact .22 Guns I just find interesting (but not limited to): FX Revolution TX200 or HW97 AA S510 TC HW100 .177 Leshy2 

Mikwaukee M18 solves the impact issue. Off roaders have different options for using high pressure tanks for airing up tires.

I shoot on my backyard range out in the woods. I actually mowed some of my shooting lanes today, and might start a shooting trail through the woods with targets along the trail. 

Yeah, not forcasted for another foot of rain this week, but the week is not over. Very interesting discussion. I'd like a .35 M3 at some point.

Thanks for the explanations. I mistook the Max 310 bar to mean working pressure. I hope FX will be offering the 300bar bottles as standard, rather than buying a 250, then having to get the 300 after.

I keep hearing about 300 bar bottles for the M3. What's the deal? All CF bottles from FX have been rated for 310 bar, even the ones on the M3 that I can see. It's it just a different valve? I know there is a difference between MKII and M3 bottles, but that's a simple part upgrade.

I cradle the bottle in my left arm and hold the scope with my left hand, muzzle up.

The ones I was thinking of are actually tensioners, not just sleeves. My mistake. 

Is that even available yet? I've seen it used by the SA guys on YouTube, developed by Hein Fromann. They hint it might become an FX offering, but nothing confirmed. 

I have the ATN 1500 rangefinder and it talks to the scope. The ATN IR and thermal Binox and their new thermal monocular also talk to the 4K. They all have rangefinders and recording capability. I'm thinking that thermal monocular to spot and range is going to be the hot setup for ratting. 

From their website :

The SA guys, Matt, Roelf, and Gerhard, are shooting 40 grain .22 Patriot slugs at 2-300 yards with their Impacts. They must have a very good bc. 68. Whiskey are shooting .30 to 300 and beyond, also with Impacts. There are certainly other makes that do it also.

Not saying they are the bad guys, but it would be nice to be able to verify what they say. Another website gives a different list of what you can hunt with airguns, and the official mass.gov sites are even less clear.
