I attached the scope to my rifle near a large metal safe and file cabinet and computers and I saw SMF again, but as soon as I walked out to the backyard it showed the correct compass directions. This did not happen before I did the 3 steps above. I think its fixed!

I own the ATN X-Sight 4 / 4K Pro 5-20 with the 1000 ABL. Latest Firmware installed on this scope = 3.1.12.510 A common issue for this scope is that the user receives the message "SMF" or strong magnetic field which interferes with the compass function. This would obviously impact ballistic...

Today I compared my Javelin Gen 1 30 gr slugs to the new Javelin Gen 2 30 gr slugs using my .22 Maverick Sniper which includes the upgrades of a heavy liner, heavy hammer, carbon fiber barrel cover. My settings are Dual Regs @180/150 barr and Hammer wheel at 7. My goal was to see what...

Since my last post, thought I would include my Results shooting my SAM at 25 yards, breezy day, with heavier pellets all shot at maximum Hammnerspring (turned clockwise until it slips = Max). Below are the H&N Baracuda Hunter 18.21 gr and Hunter Extreme 18.52 gr. Most accuracy consistent was...

There has not been much update in this forum for 2 years so I thought I would share my experience and data with the Benjamin Semi-Automatic Marauder (SAM). I have multiple other high end air rifles but this is my only semi-automatic which has a unique fun factor so I have come back to it it to...

Here is my setup with the FX Maverick, Saber Tactical rail and monopod, ATN Digital scope with range finder and the FX chronograph attached via using picatinny scope rings using a 3/4 " pvc pipe below the barrel to prevent the radar from changing barrel harmonics when I'm not using the radar (I...

I also thought I would share my velocity chart with various slug types and weights using an excel format that I think others may find useful. I am finding that the slugs prefer a velocity round 950 fps for accuracy but I will post that after I get my FX Heavy liner and carbon sleeve for my 700...

I will add information from a direct email conversation I'm having with another Airgun Nation User. Yes I installed the slug power kit myself. Was not difficult. Followed the you tube videos [LIST=1] https://www.airgunnation.com/topic/fx-maverick-slug-power-kit/?referrer=1  (AIrbuks)...

Follow up to a thread from last year. Today I found slug power kits for my 0.22 maverick at Pyramyd Air. https://www.pyramydair.com/product/fx-wildcat-mkiii-maverick-slug-power-kit?a=9842States only available for "Adjustable pin probe for .22 caliber, with .25 caliber sleeve" I just...

I note others are reporting the same issue i had regarding the O Ring falling out of the magazine face that creates friction to hold the magazine in the rifle. I have 10 Side Shot Magazines that are shared between my three 22 gauge Fx Rifles (Maverick, Crown and Wildcat). It is a benefit that...

I confirmed its still available on that site. Highly recommend. I own the Maverick Sniper .22 rifle and dont be afraid of the double regulator - its easy to tune after watching the youtube videos (open the back reg (stock end) set the first reg (muzzle end) , degass by removing bottle, screw...

I solved my own issue. The reason I could not turn the 2nd Reg (breech Reg) below 85 was that there appeared to be an extra Belville Washer in my stack around the piston. There should be 5 sets of 2 and the final 11th should be concave to the piston head. (I watched this video: ...

I could use guidance for tuning my 2 month old FX Maverick Sniper .22 This is the first time I worked on the regulators . I ordered 2 Sekhmet gauges and they arrived today. I wanted to replace both of the Fx gauges and then try to start my regs at 95 and 70 and work up from there. I...

I'll add to my own thread a second issue with these magazines... i just recalled from a month ago. I did have an issue with one of my 6 magazines (interchangeable on by my FX Wildcat MIII and FX Maverick) that would fall out of the breech when I cocked the gun. I added 2 layers of electrical...

I LOVE my Sniper Maverick which I have owned x 2 months. Exceptional quality build and accurate. Today I had my first issue that my magazine was stuck in the breech and could not be removed. The side cocking mechanism was stuck in the back position. In my experience with other rifles it...
