    Yeah, you got lucky. Anyone considering ordering from them should first search "Dack Outdoors Complaints"

    Huben Bottle Regulator Creeping

    Thanks NT - I will follow your advice & will keep a close eye on it. If it starts to push over 3625, I guess I will degas and adjust it down a bit.

    Huben Bottle Regulator Creeping

    Did a 4500psi bottle conversion on my Umarex Zelos using a Huben Cricket Regulator and seem to be experiencing the reg creeping. Mine seemed like it was initially set around 3100psi and is now up to 3500psi. Is this a common issue with Huben Regulators or is this just the regulator settling in?

    Has Anybody Tested Out The New Crosman Pellets Yet?

    Well, I guess neither Daisy or Gamo give a flying F as its been four solid days since I emailed both of them and I haven't heard a squeak back...

    Has Anybody Tested Out The New Crosman Pellets Yet?

    I know the OP started this discussion asking about .177 CPHP's but since nearly all Crosman pellets are unavailable, thought that I'd post up what little info I have on the issue of unavailability. I called Gamo USA earlier today to try and pry some info out of them as to when either Crosman...

    Umarex New Zelos Inbound!

    Finally got a chance to go shoot my Zelos a few days ago. Sighted in a couple inches high @ 30 yards which equaled about dead-on @ 50-60 yards. Seemed to be shooting the deadly Daisy Precision Max H.P.'s very accurately so went on a little ground squirrel hunt and got about 15 out to 75 yards...

    Umarex New Zelos Inbound!

    Yeah, Dack's almost pulled me into their web of bs but I did more searching and didn't like what I read so went with Not Just Guns instead. Thinking I'll buy a .25 Zelos down the road and they'll get my business again!

    N/A First Gun: FX Dynamic vs Umarex Zelos

    Awesome report! I received my Zelos .22 on the 12th and am finally going to get out to shoot it tomorrow. Reg was set around 2100 from the factory so I'll try that before futzing with it. I installed a Huben Cricket Bottle Regulator and a Tuxing 580cc 4500psi CF Bottle on mine. Sounds like I...

    Budget Gun Battle!

    Have Have read that our Zelos are over-sprung and that adjustments with the stock hammer spring are not very effective. On the FB Umarex Zelos Owners Group, a guy name of Dave Goldfarb is reworking his .25 with lighter springs and a new valve. It is showing promise as to making the Zelos...

    Budget Gun Battle!

    I have a cheap Xisico Sentry 705HC .22 PCP Rifle that just loves the Daisy Precision Max Hollow Points. They are made from soft lead and I have shot 1000's of them through it with no degradation in accuracy. Haven't had the chance to shoot my Zelos yet - hoping it likes them too.

    Budget Gun Battle!

    I thought the Zelos was light because Pyramyd Air erroneously says it weighs just six lbs but it actually weighs closer to seven. I need to get a lighter scope than the Aim Sports Alpha 6 4.5-27x50 I have on mine. That combined with the heavy-azz Huben Cricket Bottle Regulator and 580cc CF...

    Decided on a PCP...

    With any of those three, all you should hear is the valve ping and the sound of your projectiles cracking armadillo skulls.

    Umarex De-pinger for the Zelos?

    De-pinger for the Zelos? Now that I have quieted down the bark from my Zelos, I'd like to do something about the loud PING the the valve makes when fired. I know they are available for other PCP's - does anyone make one for the Zelos?
