35 yards, kneeling off my deck, 5 shots, factory iron signts Winchester 1100SS using Crossman dome copper plated pellets. I nee to spend more time behind the trigger, this sucks. Normally with my M4's I can do a 1-1.25" group at 50 yards.

I tried some domed pellets, and this was the best 5-shot group I managed at a measly 35 yards using the iron sights, kneeling and braced on my deck railing. I found that a firm hold on the weapon was necessary. I tried all the fancy "Artillery" and "Olympic" type holds you can think of, but...

So if I understand correctly, you are saying it is the FUMES of other greases and lubricants that cause the issue, and that Krytox products do not have fumes, not necessarily that the grease of oil itself combusts or is the issue, correct?

I checked out the Krytox GPL-205. It's PTFE based. PTFE is very toxic when combusted, and the grease is rated to 400*F. Did you mean a different product, or is 400*F sufficient for this application?

Thanks! That's what I'm looking at, but in synthetic. Is there a reason to go with the Vortek out of the box, or is it a "replacement" for when the OEM has issues? Since you've "seen the guts" of both, how do they differ and is one more durable/better than the other (OEM vs. Vortek, for the...

Should I look elsewhere? I remember killing large Jack Rabbits at 50+ yards in my teens. I paced it off, and my paces are generally +-3 per 100 yards. I've lasered and measure-wheeled this time and again. I was only using a 550fps .22 air rifle. It was dead on out to 50+ yards. Past that...

So far, this is what I'm considering: https://www.pyramydair.com/s/m/Diana_RWS_34P_Striker_Combo/1689/3372 It looks like I could replace 2 parts, and be good to go "indefinitely"! What tools are required to install these parts? Are these good items, or...

I grew up shooting air-rifles, and enjoyed them as late as around 2003. I used a 550fps pump-up .22 caliber to kill Texas Jack Rabbits. It was great fun and the dog loved it. Anyways, I find myself with a squirrel problem, and often they are out of shotgun range. This leaves me with my...
