    Atomic XR, Year One…

    A Steiner THOR green laser. Picked it up for a steep discount. Have it zeroed at ten meters for closer in shots. Also helpful for pointing out iguanas in the trees to others when we go out at night.

    Atomic XR vs. frustrating starlings…

    No starlings but more damaging to fruit trees and flowers. Eradicated ten since the Atomic arrived. This one during the day, 15yds clean headshot. Most I shoot at night, when they are easier to spot in the trees with a strong light.

    Atomic XR, Year One…

    Chrono'ed my Atomic today. In the 90 degree midday heat and using JSB Exact Jumbo 15.89 gr pellets I got ten shot average of 745 fps/19.59 fpe at the muzzle with the external hammer adjuster dialed all the way in. If I released it ten clicks counterclockwise it came down to 725 fps/ 18.55...

    Atomic XR, Year One…

    My first PCP. Bought it because of the iguana problem here in South Florida. I have dozens of firearms but even those with suppressors can’t be discharged within the city by law. Fifty years ago I had a Crossman Power Master that I wore out, but it was nothing at all like the Atomic. Very light...

    Atomic XR 22 cal with JSB Monster 25gr?

    That's why I found it surprising she was using them at such low velocities. She gets good shot placement at 25 yards but they must be doing 500 fps, not fast enough to stabilize.

    Atomic XR 22 cal with JSB Monster 25gr?

    Jessica the Iguana Solutions huntress revealed she’s using this combo on her last video. Anybody using it? How do you tune for this? Presently favoring 15gr JSB at 700fps Thanks

    Atomic XR Carbine

    Last updateon the technical issue~resolved. Three days ago I left it cocked & loaded, and the pressure has held perfectly. Fired off one shot three hours ago and in the Florida heat it registers as it did six days ago, 240 Barr. Next update will be a photo of the guava-thieving iguanas!

    Atomic XR Carbine

    Good news! My initial pressure yesterday was 240 after filling the gun and leaving it outside @~80deg F 14 h later inside my AC house at 70deg F it read "232" and 12h after that it is still 232. So no appreciable leak in 28h. I have cocked the gun four hours ago and there has been no change. I...

    Atomic XR Carbine

    Well, I found that Leak Detecting Solution and applied it to the inlet after filling to 250 Barr. No bubbles ! Waited two hours checking every five, no bubbles AND THE PRESSURE HELD! Four hours latter it is still OK. I have the action closed on an empty chamber. Don't remember how I had it when...

    Atomic XR Carbine

    Thanks for your quick and kind response. I saw the YouTube video from AOA on the Brocock Compatto Inlet Valve Repair. If that is my problem I can easily send the entire valve assembly and let AOA change the O ring, as that seems more than what I can do. I have accessorized my Atomic, and it is...

    Atomic XR Carbine

    Newbie here. After one fill with a Hill hand pump and two with an Omega tank/HP3 valve my two week old Atomic XR loses pressure. The first days it was left full overnight without loss, but yesterday and today it goes from 250 Barr down to one hundred in a few hours. AOA tech says to put some...
