A few pictures of my hunting adventures.

Retired at the end of 2021. I’ll be 60 in October. Had a career at sea as a marine engineer. Not military, but a civilian sailor. Living in the northern part of Minnesota, in the woods. Been airgunning since 2017. Shooting competition benchrest against rimfires this year. They are afraid of...

I finished my first 6 week Outlaw, 100 yard shooting competition against Rimfires today. I kinda sucked each week but I did learn a lot. Shooting my Gen 1 Impact. Lived all it’s life (5000 rounds) as a .25. Last fall I converted it to .22 with the tensioned barrel. Trying to get a slug and...

I have the original Storm Rider. Not something I’d recommend. You would be more happy with a Umerex Notos. Hand pump freindy also. Close to the same price. Love my wifes Notos. I mounted a Sig red dot on it and plan on using it for Grouse.

I had issues with the factory mags. They were stiff going into position and I’d often insert them to far. They have both loosened up going into the breach and the magnets click when they slide into position. Have a Sig Romeo5 red dot on it for my wifes Grouse hunting gun. I use it for Red...

Charging the line on mine takes about 5-6pumps. After that, on my Regulated Gamo Coyote .22, about 3-4 pumps per shot. Higher power guns will use more air. I mainly use my large bottle and Omega compressor. Lazy old fart here.

Great info guys. Not really good news, but realistic. I have a original Impact(Smooth Twist).25 version. Added some upgrades like a power plenum and 700 mm barrels. Running 122 bar(Edgun digital gauge)on the reg. Shooting 34gn K.O. And 32&34 gn H&N in the 960-950 fps range. With a clean...

Thanks but has found a happy new home.

Yikes! Definitely don’t want to have that happen. If I get a spring compressor, I’d be more inclined to just replace the piston seal and add some fresh grease. Never say never, right.:)

I like all the help and advise guys. Thanks so much. I’ll get that scope mounted better(lower)and play some more with pellets. Give it some love, you know. I have PCP’s to go to the next level with.

The Vortec pg4 kit looks great. Not sure my knowledge on spring guns is where it needs to be for propper results. More learning may be required.:unsure:

Where can I find the kit and information on it? I want to keep it original if possable but, if it needs some work might as well do it right. Just don’t want to damage or decrease the value of the gun. I’ve been doing PCP’s mainly. Just saw this gun and knew this was one of the best as far...

Where can i find information on trigger adjustment? Not sure I want to adjust it yet but, I may. Need to get to know it a little better first. I can say, I’m not fond of the position of the safety on this gun.

After I wrote that I actually read the instructions. I don’t like the idea of possibly scratching up the barrel for the forward mount. I’ll leave that for the next owner. Thanks again.
