    I keep flip flopping on rifle choice

    I picked up an FX Dreamline Power Pup .22 with the carbon fiber bottle. It has the power plenum so 30 fpe is easy in .22. I'm shooting it at around 50 fpe with 34 and 25.39 grain JSB pellets, regulator set at 115 - 120 bar. Very light weight (7.25 lbs with Vector Veyron scope and 0DB LDC) and...

    Who else has too many scopes?

    Hmmmm...... let's count. 1,2,3.....49. Then there's the 26 others on the air rifles I have.... Must be an addiction in there somewhere.

    Katran Moderator???

    I have the Katran LB in .22 shooting at around 43 FPE (I messed around with the regulator). I'm using the 0DB 110C on top of the 2 moderator pieces that come with the gun. I tried a number of different options (Donny Tanto, Tatsu, FX and some TKOs). The 0DB was the best combination of accuracy...

    Tuning Verify Katran Reg Pressure

    FYI - I asked Airmaks what the regulator setting is on the .22 Katran. Their response: From: [email protected] Subject: Re: KATRAN Dear Rob , thank you for your email and question. The pressure regulator is 110 Bar . If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact me. Best...

    Tuning Katran

    I've messed around with the regulator on my Katran (bottle version) a number of times. I would say a little adjustment goes a long way - if you decide to adjust the regulator try 1/4 turn at a time and see how it impacts the velocity/power. After you take it apart a few times it's a relatively...

    Vector Optics Taurus 3-18x50

    I also have one. Lets see...scope is a bit heavy at 27 oz. Glass is decent, not out of focus at the edges like other cheaper scopes. The turrets are a bit mushy, but not bad. I have an Element Helix and those turrets have very defined and no slop clicks. Something you would be OK dialing to...

    Tuning Airmaks Regulator

    I would start at 1/4 turn. I have messed with the regulator on my Katran a lot and started at 1 turn out. Was shooting over 50 fpe but very inconsistent. Kept working my way in until I was at about 1/4 turn out. Now shots very consistent at 40 to 43 fpe depending on pellet weight.

    Airmaks Katran - Update - Continues to Impress Me

    That's 3 pieces of the Airmaks moderator with a 0DB moderator screwed on the end. Have the gun shooting around 44 FPE and it does a great job keeping it quiet. Usually leave the moderator bits on. I have a long case I can put the gun in.

    Airmaks Katran - Update - Continues to Impress Me

    I made a bag rider for my Katran before their bag rider was available. Made it out of shrink wrapped 1/2" soft steel bar and bent it in the shape of the Saber tactical bag rider made for the FX Impact. Works great except I can no longer fold the stock. I'm curious how well the Katran one works.

    Airmaks Katran - Update - Continues to Impress Me

    I have the bottle version in .22 and have both the long and compact barrels. The regulator is adjustable but you have to degas and disassemble the gun to access the regulator. It's covered in this video starting around the 21 minute mark: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Q_bV3lpkUc&t=309s...
