Massive difference between the Tac Vector and Helix, put both of them on a collimator and you’ll quickly see why the Helix is more expensive:)

I can’t speak for the others, but I’m just really tired after a crazy year and need to take a break. I’ve already been over to the US 3 times this year and 16 hours flights aren’t fun! I know Ted is staying home for his kid’s birthday. And I’m guessing AOA don’t want Ernest or Jon hovering...

Personally I would have checked “Heart-Warming”, but that’s just me😂 Thanks Bob for all you do for our community! It is hugely appreciated🙏🏻. Youtube has been killing my channel over the past few weeks. Matt

It’s so exciting to see ALL manufacturers raising their game! Not too long ago a sub MOA group at 100 was an anomaly, but it’s quickly becoming the standard! I spoke to some very, very experienced rimfire shooters at IWA who claimed airguns had already overtaken rimfire accuracy - They had shot...

Agreed!

The reason the Monster barrel design had to change is because the head diameter changed from 5.55 to 5.51 - That is a massive difference for a barrel like the STX which relies on the grooves to maintain concentricity. The reason LW barrels have shot the monsters so well (I think) is because the...

I think that the rifling portion of CZ barrels are excellent - Extremely well made and very smooth. It's the leade, choke and crown that often give problems. 2 of the 4 CZ barrel guns (1 Kalibrgun, 1 Vulcan) had to be sent back before I even reviewed them because I could not get them to group...

Well... I know what Tony told me and I can't budge on what I heard clearly. But I respect your opinion. Every gun review I've ever done confirms this, although I have only really tested LW and CZ guns around the 28-32 FPE mark, so I can't comment on sub 12. Out of interest, what distances are...

Spray1mark, Thanks for getting back to me. Yes, the slug liner has a choke. The choke is very necessary, the results without it were horrible, so I’m surprised to hear that some people had good results after cutting the choked section off... I would go as far as saying that I can’t believe...

That is my experience also. And yes, Martin would know LW barrels! I sat next to Tony Belas of Daystate at a dinner in early 2016 and I remember him saying that in his testing, LW 12-Groove barrels shoot extremely tight groups with 1 or 2 flyers every 10 shots, while Smooth Twist would shoot a...

STX top, ART bottom? Lands on the ART look a bit bigger...

Yip, this is my experience too. Some barrels don’t like to be cleaned at all! I’ve found that my 12 groove LW and CZ barrels have to be cleaned regularly, but my Poly and STX barrels prefer to be left “dirty”. They take about 100 shots to be broken in from new, and then just get better and...

I think the reason you don’t see negative reviews is because people don’t like making negative videos. Most of the guys I know that have had messed-up guns have politely sent them back and decided not to review them. One or two have asked for a new gun that has been test-fired already and then...

Mark, which liners did you receive and what about them was different to what you expected? None of the twist rates, land/groove dimensions and chokes have been published, so I don’t see how you could have been “led to believe” anything. If you need any questions answered, I’d probably be able...

I got to look through the ART barrel at IWA and it looks very good. I have not had any experience with it, but I have with STX barrels because of all the work I’ve done in the FX factory. I’ve also studied the 12-groove and Polygonal LW barrels a lot (difficult to do, because every single one is...
