Hold overs only work so-so for me. They do work well for hunting when there is not enough time to dial in. I have a small dope card taped to my stock/air bottle with all the turret setting for 10 yard increments out to 100 +/- yards depending on the gun. It's easy to replace if I start using...

My .177 TX200 shoots pretty good with JSB 10.34's (labeled as 4.52), and H&N FTT 8.64's (also labeled as 4.52). (Strangely, it's not so good with a lot of other pellet weights and diameters, for some reason). Unfortunately, the H&N's which are labeled as 4.52 mm, and actually measure...

That is nice. Did you make that, or is it available somewhere?

I am considering getting one of these in .177 and have a question about cleaning the barrel with a crown saver pull through. Does the TX200 mkIII barrel shroud have a removable threaded end piece like the TX200 carbine version seems to have? It appears the carbine version has a removable...

I don't know if anyone from Crossman will read this, but... THANKS. I recently chrono'd my 3 year old marauder F&T and the velocity went from 860 last year to 710 this year. I was getting 710 all the way down to 800 psi, so I figured the reg was at issue. I called them to order a new reg and...

So, I just called Crossman and got to talk to someone right away. They don't have the parts diagram for the F&T (regulated) on their site, but was able to find the part quickly. They asked for my serial number, said the gun was only a couple of years old and would send the part no charge. OK...

My post is above and I have another question that maybe someone can answer. The model of my Marauder is BP1764R. On the Crossman site under owners manuals/ parts for Benjamin rifles there are listings for the BP1764S and BP1764W, the synthetic and wood versions of the non regulated Marauder...

My F&T .177 Marauder is about 3 years old. It originally shot JSB 10.34's at 870 fps and I got around 70 shots before the velocity dropped. I just checked the velocity and now it's shooting at 710 fps and I get about 120 shots before the velocity drops off to the 690's. It drops off when the...

I jrecently bought a $29 dollar micro hose for my AV 74cu tank that got kinked at the end. The replacement I bought from a well know vendor had a female and male end, not like the F/F original. I did not want multiple connectors to piece it together, so they did send me the correct one, as their...

P.S. I'm using JSB 10.4 grain pellets.

Mine is a couple of years old. It chrono'd at 860 with these settings: Striker, (aka hammer), (smaller Allen screw from hole in back) 12 turns in, Hammer spring preload at 5 turns in, and Valve screw 4 turns out. This seems to be discussed factory settings. I also used to get about 80 shots...

If you average 902 ("901-903") for the first 5, and average 898 ("899-897") for the next five, that's only 4 FPS difference on the first 10 shots. And that's considering there is no margin of error in your chronograph, if you are using the same chrono as before. It sounds like at 23 shots your...

Hi caito222, I was thinking Marauder all the way until I read your last statement where you said " OR my real question is: for a occasional shooter 1x week to shoot 30 pellets can I get something less expensive and fit this criteria??? Thanks". Unless you're doing something real special with...
