    Well it's working good now. 40-45 good shots on a fill at 21-23 ft/lbs depending on pellet weight. Haven't chronied the 21 grainers yet but it seems to shoot those good too. No reason to mess with it yet. And it's one hole groups at the 20 yards I'm shooting it at now. I will set up a backstop...

    Why is it so hard to explain to powder guys hunting with air can be done on larger game?!

    Depends on where you get to hunt I suppose. If you can use a 223 (or even a 22 mag rimfire) where you are going to hunt these coyotes I can see his point. No real reason to use an air rifle except to make it more difficult, lots more shots you could take and lots farther with a real varmint gun...

    Thanks for the info. I'm assuming the numbers where it says 1.25 for the "hammer tension" is one and a quarter turns in from backed out all the way? And is the "transfer screw" what the manual refers to as the metering screw?

    Maybe it just needed to be shot some? Just went out with it filled up to 3000 and shot 40 14 grainers and it's right around 2100. Chrony missed a lot of shots in the middle but the first 10 were AVG=803fps ES 17 SD 5. The last 10 shots come out to AVG=823 ES 7 SD 2. So it could have another 10...

    So I have today off. Shooting in the back yard. :D First time with a PCP. Only shot this once, it was enough to figure out it's an air hog. 25 shots takes it from 2900psi down to close to 2k. I backed the hammer spring adjuster all the way out then tightened 2 turns. So now I have the chrony...

    First PCP.

    OK. By the time I got the scope on it and pumped it up it was dark out. Have to at least see if it works though right? Shot 5 shots into an archery target just for function out behind an out building with my boy holding a flashlight. Trigger is real light. Cocking action not so smooth. Pretty...

    Pumping it up now. Crosman only sends 1 mag with them? LAME.

    First PCP.

    Won’t be home till 6 ish. Have to mount scope and pump it up from zero with a hand pump. Don’t know if that will get done before dark.

    First PCP.

    UPS tracking shows it’s FINALLY at the house. I don’t get off for about 3 more hours. I think I might be coming down with something, I might have to leave early.

    Marauder needs scope.

    I ordered UTG rings from Amazon. I’ll check them out good and install carefully. Thanks for the warning.

    Marauder needs scope.

    Thanks! I asked AOA when I ordered the rifle, and the online chat at Pyramyd they both said get high rings, probably just to be on the safe side but I don't want it higher than it has to be. I think I'm going with a 44mm objective. I'm gonna order a set of mediums and highs on amazon they are...

    Marauder needs scope.

    So I have a Marauder on the way. It has the dovetail rail. What are the lowest rings I can get that will clear the mag? What is the biggest objective on scopes I can look at getting, with those rings?

    First PCP.

    We’ll no one apparently actually has any Airacudas on hand in the flesh to sell. Found the synthetic Marauder in 22 on sale at AOA for $439.99. My internet is down so I called them on the phone. Guy said they had 2 left and I bought one of those.
