Looks great, have you considered a variant where the bottom of the forend is parallel with the bore axis? This would be better for mounting a bipod or other accessories.

+1 for the Discovery 2-12x24. The UTG bugbusters are also good choices in that same price range. A few of the UTGs with AO like the 3-9x40AO will adjust down to 5 yards, but the reticle may or may not have enough hold over points to be useful to you. The only disadvantage to the discovery is...

What velocity have you found to work well for the JTS 33.80s?

Semi Auto PCPs require more R&D than a regular repeater and a lot of manufacturers don't want to make that investment. Some manufacturers have released semi autos that weren't particularly successful or reliable, which caused damage to their brand.

I've used both the dovetail and picatinny FX no limits rings without any issues. The Picatinny version has a grub screw to hold your adjustment, whereas the dovetail version doesn't. The eagle vision rings are more expensive, but are worth looking at for a rifle that might get tossed around...

There's a lot of things to check for sanity: Is the air tube consistent in OD? (if it's not, this is a major concern. It's highly unlikely that this is the problem) If the shroud concentric to the barrel? (I'm more familiar with the dreamline, but it is possible that the two could be out of...

I recently took apart a new gearbox for a CS3 and it was filled with silicone grease from the factory. In the past GX used a orange/yellow grease. I'm looking to try Redline CV2 in the new gearbox.

I ran it via AC, which I'm aware is less efficient due to converting from DC to AC and back again. I'm not super familiar with EcoFlow's competitors, but none of the smaller EcoFlows have sufficient DC output interfaces for the compressor. I'd need to re-run my wattage test of the compressor...

I have been able to use an EcoFlow River 3 Plus to power my JTS comp1. Not all portable batteries will work due to wattage output limits, but a river 3 is sufficient if you disable "Xboost" mode. I haven't done a max runtime test, but it's enough to top off an FX impact several times.

None currently in production. The Sig ASP20 was an anomaly since it was the only high end piston driven rifle made in the US in recent memory. It's unlikely that you'll see another one either, since there's far more interest in the PCP market and it's more financially viable for manufacturers...

I've had good success with the Discovery 2-12x24, although I'd call that an MPVO. There's an extensive thread on it here. https://www.airgunnation.com/threads/discovery-knocked-it-out-of-the-park-with-this-model.1331853/ I only used it for a very specific format of competition that required sub...

Every brand has different ways of handling customer issues (or not handling them) and that experience will vary by country in many cases. From my previous experience working on the sales side of this industry, most of the budget brands have issues with this in the US. In Canada, they dump most...

What barrel length do you have? I'm not immediately familiar with tunes for a compact, but I would start by decreasing your regulator pressure. If the regulator pressure is too high, your hammer spring won't be able to overcome it. My 600mm dreamline classic, with a power plenum can get around...

I suspect the general underperformance of .25 in the competitive scene may have something to do with it. Most of the ammo developments seem to be focused on .30 as well, with some trickle down to .25 shortly after. If there were energy limitations in 100 yard benchrest, .25 may make a comeback...

This has been my experience with one of the CS3s, although both gears failed at the same time.
