Thanks Wayne!

RAW With either the mini or the micro I'm assuming the cocking lever can be switched to either side of the gun? How about bottles, is the bottle on the micro as thick as on the mini in case I want a 480cc on the micro for high shot count? And 12 fpe in .177, is it a hassle to convert either...

Have you tried the Athlon Helos G2 DMR in MIL yet? Reticle can still be seen on 2x but yes I can't help wishing it had daylight bright illume.

A best case comparison with 22rf and pcp using slugs is with all out BR rifles like the latest iteration Thomas slug and a equivalent 2500x rimfire designed specifically for benchrest. Maybe by now Mike N's newest Thomas slugs guns are up there in precision with the best 22rf's and lot...

I was thinking about your post, as well as Liontracks HFT thread, and it occurred to me that a RAW HM1000 Micro Hunter could fit my needs fine. Is bringing the power down to 12 fpe a hassle? Could buy the pump kit which would be fun for plinking. If not it converts to left side cocking which I...

Thanks! OK so 4 mags max worth at 24 fpe using 16gr pellets, not bad. Now put on the 700cc bottle and try it :p

Yes. Something learned is that pellets don't need a fast twist barrel to shoot well and too fast a twist can make the pellet spiral at faster fps. Plus there are higher BC pellets nowadays. The 30 cal 50gr AEA seems like a top contender with IIRC a .06 G1 BC. Then slugs with faster twists like...

Mike, even though I was mostly kidding I see now you're in a tough situation that I can't relate too so I apologize and hope the best for you.

Over Simplifying, it's a thing, usually when you're old enough to wear a diaper again while in hospice.

Best to go straight to slugs or use lot tested expensive 22rf ammo. My Anschutz 1827F Fortner 22rf using higher quality ammo is pretty much the same in precision as my Thomas HPX with 42gr slugs. It depends on the day which shoots better which is just over MOA at 100Y. With pellets in that HPX...

I was just experimenting with how I hold my semi. When I shoot my Steyr ProX "the follow through" is critical for consistency, and also trigger being pulled straight back. If I don't concentrate on these a shot will go out father than one would think it should. Do everything right and nice...

Ones I can recommend. A decent compressor is getting up there with being an essential item. I use a Coltri MCH6. Buy decent quality riflescopes and Red Dots. Athlon is my #1 choice by far. Get good qaulity rings and mounts too. Genrally using pellets for close to mid distance and slugs for...

I like things that are different and that certainly is. Ha that'd be fun to take to our UFT night match and have that light shine on the gun for every hit, lol.

Tom thanks for the info. Would you please share how many shots per fill you're getting with the Venom before it went off reg or was it off reg already by 30 shots?

Depends. Take the LPVO in SFP or FFP using well designed reticles thick enough for these types of scopes, even moreso with daylight bright illume. If these are used close up to mid range on 1x or on low power in a PBR scenario then hitting an object of mid size is easily done and done with...
