    FX M3 or king?

    In my experience, easily match and exceed. The plenum on the King is over 2x bigger than the Impact. It is built for power and gets there without breaking a sweat. I had 59 gr Zan slugs going over 1,000 FPS in the King and it still had more juice in the tank. The best tune was at 940-950 for...

    FX M3 or king?

    I've had both the King and M3 Sniper in .30 cal. The King with the moderator is an absolute broom stick. I still used it for hunting but the length does require some extra attention. As far as power, I added the Huma slug kit to both. The King was more comfortable shooting the 50+ grain...

    FX Turkey shot placement

    Killed 30+ turkeys with headshots. Call em into decoys around 20 yards out and take your time. It’s easily doable. I’ve taken a couple with body shots with the 30 cal impact and it works well, but usually messes up the meat if the angle is right. The nice thing about the head shot is it’s a...

    PCP Rifle Sabre Tactical Chassis FX King .30 700MM W/ Scope, extra bottle, mod., Huma Reg + more.

    Hey guys, I dropped off the face of the earth from airguns after an unanticipated career change and bought this FX King in the green mountain laminate stock last August from Utah airguns in anticipation of doing some hunting with it. I got it all tuned up, had several successful hunts, but now...

    FX Hybrid Slugs .30 BC

    Let me see what I can do with the power wheel in getting the velocity down to that and I’d be happy to. The labradar makes testing BC pretty painless since you can collect velocity data points from 5 different yardages out to 100. After that I confirm with the actual drop.

    FX Hybrid Slugs .30 BC

    I just got done doing some testing on those using a Labradar Chronograph and confirmed drops out to 200 yards and landed on a .092 BC with a muzzle velocity of 960. The claimed .101 or whatever was a bit generous, but very close.

    any daystate owners with Electronic guns please give input

    I had a .22 Airwolf MCT that took more doves and small game than any weapon I have ever owned. 10’s of thousands of pellets and never a single issue except a bad o-ring that was easily replaced. I sold that rifle to an airgunner here on the forum and as far as I know, it continues to kick...

    Would Rather See Lighter Rifles.

    Looks like I’m definitely in the minority here but I prefer well balanced, durable rifles in the 10-12lb range. I find it much more difficult to shoot the light rifles accurately off hand and struck out on the couple “light” rifles I did own. The nature of the design limits shaving too much...

    What is acceptable accuracy at 30 yards? Am I expecting too much?

    Scopes have been mentioned a couple times in here. I’ve had several Daystates and all were capable of ragged one hole groups at 25 yards. Being an unregulated rifle shouldn’t make any difference that close. One thing to check is the parallax on your scope. Make sure you are paying attention...

    What is wrong with my Vulcan 2?

    Try different ammo. The JSB Hades hasn’t grouped consistently well In any Airgun I own. If you have another pellet you can use like the 18.1 exact jumbos, I would use those to narrow down the issue if there is one.

    Need Help....Daystate Redwolf Safari or FX Crown Continuum .22 cal?

    I must be the only one who has never had accuracy issues when magazine feeding any of my Daystate Rifles. The .25 Safari I currently own is equally as accurate with the magazine and the single shot tray. Occasionally I’ll have a flyer that I can only explain as a bad pellet. I don’t wash...
