I recently acquired a Gauntlet SL30. I originally shot it in the factory stock with JSB 44.74 and 50.15 pellets. I didn’t record my groups but I was quite pleased with the accuracy. 50 shots with the 50.15 averaged 977fps and a whopping 107ft/lbs right out of the box. I swapped it into a...

Some very good points that had not really occurred to me, thanks for all the thoughtful replies. My background is much more tactical firearms, both in use and instruction, and it has been drilled into me to always maintain a firing grip, even loading/reloading/clearing malfunctions, and my AR’s...

Just for background, I’m a lifelong shooter and I’m right handed but left eye dominant so I’m already a “mixed bag” but especially when it comes to air guns with side levers and bull pups with linkages, it seems like a lot of the actions out there would actually work far better “reversed”. There...

I think the ATN has an add-on LRF that also gives you a red “aiming” point but I never bought that equipment or used it, so I don’t know if it requires and external device or how well it works. Obviously there has to be SOME database upload so it gives you a holdover for .177 pellets vs .223 or...

It’s interesting to see the RAW come out as most recommended…I didn’t know anything about them until I was traveling for work and decided to do a guided iguana hunt in Florida. I didn’t plan for it and didn’t have any of my own gear with me, almost bought a Notos and pump there but decided to...

I see this thread is resurrected from the dead, buts it’s really interesting to see people on the same journey. I also started a few years back and ordered a build from Rolaids, I think it was about $800 and I thought it was pretty damn good at the time…I then got the ATN X-Sight 4K 5-20 and ran...

That’s some damn fine shooting! I have an AGT Uragan .25(Gen 1) that I bought FOR the lack of tunability-and the need. Highly accurate and reliable just as it came out of the box. But I’ve decided I want to step up to FX and some tunabilty, but mostly ultimate accuracy at longer range. I’m still...

I don’t have one yet but a .30 wildcat is almost certainly in my future. If I buy new, I’m leaning towards the VP with 600mm barrel and I’ll add carbon fiber tank later. I think that will be just about perfect for size, power and range. The other option is to buy used, and then I’ll end up with...

I have a Gauntlet .30 on backorder but I think it’s going to be long and heavy. Another one I forgot to mention is the RAWHM1000, I did an iguana hunt in Florida and used a hunting guide and all his gear since I was traveling for work and didn’t have any of my own gear, he has owned lots of FX’s...

Back when I first got into PCP’s(and accepted the cost of admission!) I really fell in love with the AGT line, the Vulcan was pretty new at the time. By the time I was ready to actually spend that kind of money I ended up getting the Uragan in .25. I like bullpups and I like both the look and...
