    Mounts/Rings Athlon Cronus BTR 4.5-29 mil/mil

    Sold 7/27 Up for sale is an Athlon Cronus BTR in mil/mil with the APRS reticle (center cross.) I bought this new and it has spent its entire life on 2 PCP air rifles; it was mounted in a Spuhr mount on the first rifle (Edgun R5M) and in an ARC M-brace mount on the second rifle (Impact M3.)...

    Edgun R3 replacement valve?

    Just an update... I was able to make the new valves from Brian work by transferring the longer steel rod and brass piece from the old valve over to the new delrin portion of the new valves. It's a simple press fit, with the ribs on the brass portion biting into the delrin. With the old longer...

    Edgun R3 replacement valve?

    Joost is out of stock, so he didn't even have any valves on hand to measure. Still haven't heard back from Francisco. Hoping he might have a couple that will work. I'm guessing Ed doesn't make parts for the R3 and older anymore, or if he does they are limited occasional runs. Disappointing...

    Screws for Impact M3 bottom rail?

    If you have an early production M3, the 2 front rail screws under the 1st regulator *may* be shorter than the 2 rear screws. This is because FX incorrectly machined the 2 front holes on the lower action block on early production M3s and drilled them too deep which caused a leak into the 1st reg...

    Edgun R3 replacement valve?

    I'll send them an email for dimensions. The valve pictured isn't exactly like the one that came out of the rifle, but as long as the steel rod portion is long enough I can make that one work with a different (shorter) valve spring.

    Edgun R3 replacement valve?

    Have a bit of a problem and hoping someone can help or has the right part on the shelf... A few years back a friend bought my .25 R3, and last weekend it finally broke a valve. I thought I had a spare, but did not. I bought the last 2 R3 valves that Brian at Edgun West had in stock, but they...

    [SOLD] Edgun R5M .25 long

    Sold 3/10 Up for sale is my Edgun R5M long in .25. I’m the original owner and bought this from Brian at Edgun West back in April of 2018. It’s been my primary ground squirrel blaster up until late last year and has eliminated about 2000 of the little buggers. Rifle is still in excellent...

    New to me,hunters blasting Vortex scopes

    I've had quite a few Vortex scopes over the years and still have several. I've had nothing but great luck with all the Razor series scopes I've had over the years-- 2x Gen 1 5-20s, 3x Gen 2 4.5-27s, 1x 6-24 AMG, 2x 1-6s, and an 85mm spotter. All of those have worked as expected with zero issues...

    ❓ Setting Scope to its Optical Center —OR— to Max. Elevation Adjustment Range?

    My answer is that it depends on the scope and application, but as others above have said this push to have the scope at "optical center" when zeroed really seems to be a recommendation only seen on air rifle forums. Go to powder burner forums, especially where longer ranges are frequently shot...

    ATN 4k users: 3-14 or 5-20?

    The ABL on the 4k will work down to 5y and report range down to 5y on the display. Any closer returns an error. Granted, that's what the laser will read-- I have not yet verified the ballistic calculator will also work as close as 5y and adjust the reticle accordingly, but I believe it does...

    Tuning Impact M3: who cares of the macro number and micro weel?

    The micro scale graduations are offset on the top row compared to the bottom row. If you look at it carefully the upper lines with the numbers are in 1/2 number increments while the lines on the bottom are offset half way between the upper lines and are 1/4 number increments. So if you have the...

    Tuning Impact M3 700 mm sniper: very very low slug velocity.

    No free floating rubber balls inside the valve adjuster spring on the M3 like there were on the earlier impacts. On the M3 the rubber balls to cushion the valve opening are captive inside the valve adjuster knob itself. Adding the balls from the slug power kit inside the valve spring (like for...
