    N/A No more interest in PCPs

    When I describe Precharged pneumatic airguns to people they say, "oh, so a paintball gun". :rolleyes:

    N/A No more interest in PCPs

    I thought this thread was going in a totally different direction. Those Huben pistols look like they would be fun to shoot. And so do so many other PCPs. I'd like to try them all! My desire for them drops when I think about my actual use case. I have space to shoot 10M indoors so my FWB P8X is...

    FX How do you use your power wheel?

    I wanted to bump this up with one additional question - Is there any additional tuning that you do with the transfer port wheel? Or is that one that never really gets used?

    FX Anyone ever get the urge to eviscerate a fly but by the air from your PCP only…? Just me?

    I was doing some testing outside with my Streamline .22 and got surprised by a small scorpion. The close proximity air blast from that rifle returned that scorpion to the atomic level. There was no sign of it.

    N/A A Concise Guide to Airgun Tuning?

    Is there a concise guide to regulated PCP airgun tuning out there anywhere? Preferably something written rather than in video format.

    PCP Rifle FX Impact X & Aztec 5.5-25x50 Scope

    I have this Impact X for sale with an Aztec 5.5-25x50 SFP MOA scope and three magazines. Basically what you see, including the case (not the table underneath though). The rifle currently shoots JSB 18 grain pellets at about 890fps and generates some tight groups. It just hasn't been my go-to...

    Holding out on a 'Want'...

    I'm holding out on all kinds of wants right now. Some are even wants to sell - mainly because I don't have the time at the moment to put up an ad, answer questions and then ultimately deal with running to the shipping place. I'm not sure the best way to deal with it either. Part of the problem...

    40 - 60x scope

    I have a Sightron 10-50x60 and a Vector Minotaur 12-60x60. I think they both have illuminated reticles but I haven’t used that feature on either of them. The Sightron has a thicker, easier to see reticle than the Vector scope. They are both clear but I get more CA out of the Sightron. It’s...

    FX How do you use your power wheel?

    How do you use the power wheel on your FX PCP airgun (Impact, Crown, etc…) with multiple settings? Or maybe the question is ‘do you ever use….? I’m not sure I fully understand the point of them yet. I have only gone through the tuning process on an Impact X and the video I watched only talked...

    FX Is the FX King a step forward or backward?

    I kind of like the look, but then I have a Crown MKII with a GRS stock, so… :) The gauges don’t bother me either. I agree with another poster that it’s more convenient than the ones on the Crown where you have to turn the gun upside down to read the gauges. And it’s way better than my...

    Light Slugs in a Pellet Barrel?

    At the rate I tend to shoot, the typical tin is a pretty high quantity. :ROFLMAO:

    Light Slugs in a Pellet Barrel?

    Is there any good guidance on the right size to start with? For .22 there's .216, .217 and .218 at least. There are even some with finer graduations between each size. I recall reading something about someone sizing them on their own too. Or is it all trial and error and you just buy one of each...

    Light Slugs in a Pellet Barrel?

    Some of the rifles I have were purchased used. The Impact X, a Streamline and a Royale 400. They're all older but I'm not sure exactly how old. The Crown MKII was a recent purchase. I think the Crown or the Impact would be the most tunable for slugs if I want to pursue that. I'm still gathering...
