I don't if the IQ is any better than before on the G3 BTR 4.5-27 but the turrets are and the scope caps screw into the scope which is neat feature.

A lot of ETR G1 and G2 owners love there's.

These two groups were with Zan 28gr HP slugs out of my EVO today at 870fps and at 100Y. Wind was 4-7 mph from 10 oclock. A tad over and inch but vertical was pretty good. I have the 15.75" twist with 25" LW barrel.

With mine it was small-ish POI shifts and sporadic .1-.4 mil shifts, enough to miss a generous sized FT KZ. It was hard to trace because for the longest time I thought I had a bad batch of pellets. Basically for a whole season of FT my scores fell, and I became suspicious when towards the end of...

That's really cool Bob!!!!!!!

Your Orange Crush reminds me of this old Schwinn Orange Krate! Did you have one of these when you were a kid? Why I mention it is because I had the Apple Krate in Red, lol. Ha no wonder we like flashy airguns so much!

As tight as I could push down the round tension knob with my thumb and still it only took a nudge of force on the latch to dislodge that tension causing the barrel to come loose. Before I tightened the screws I had installed today I tapped the round tension knob down with the wooden handle of a...

Alrighty then, that problem is fixed! I just happened to have two 3mm bolts left over from a project from last week, also the right drill size and tap. The latch is made of steel so you need to use a hard drill bit. On the back of the latch is 6 holes partially drilled into it so I used the...

You're welcome Rick and yeah looking forward to seeing you out there. As soon as I got the EVO, seeing how the barrel holding mechanism was done, I though to myself that it would bite me at some point but not this quick, LOL. The spring tension holding the latch is hardly anything and Skout...

Yesterday at the match, which was my first try using it, my bike cart worked better than I thought it would because the big tires roll well over gravel and rocks without sinking into the gravel or catching on bigger rocks! Very happy I thought of seeing if it would fit in the trunk to begin with...

Congrats on your new scope Mike. It's crazy how nice these new Generation 2025 Athlon scopes are! Man my Ares BTR G3 2.5-15x50 is awesome. I mean my gosh why spend more money on a scope when this thing is 97% of one many times the cost and I betcha the turrets won't be any better. I was just...

My first match report using this EVO. I drove the 2.5 hours down to Phoenix and entered a slug division called the FullMonty/FM at the Ultimate Field Target/UFT match at PRGC. Sight in and dope check went okay except I was hitting .2 mil low at 100Y?? At 100Y it was shooting really tight, one...

One doesn't normally break a scope by using it as intended, unless it's been damaged somehow, so for whatever reason thing/s inside the scope weren't made correctly. Let's just say that every man made thing can have problems for many reasons. Is this reasonable to conclude, I mean we all know...

It's a Catch22! I've been bit twice by FX new releases, and same by Kalibergun Kricket, but my Skout EVO which is kind of a 2nd gen gun, which has been out about a year, also had problems. Semi's can be finicky, like my RX Revolution was, so I'm leaning towards waiting to get one, plus I...

Oh boy, it hadn't occurred to me until a few weeks ago to try it but I found out my bicycle cart fits in my trunk! The wheels are quick detach, and the frame sides plus the ends, as well as pull handle, use cotter pins held by straps so it folds conveniently, and quite compactly. (y):D Room...
