What did you do airgun related today.
- Thread starter Florida_Man
- Start date
Put on ANOTHER scope. 
Finding a good scope for my Gamo 10x .22 cal is never ending, same for my RWS 350.
I'll get dime sized groups at 25 yards for about 2-300 rounds, then the pellets start drifting all over the place.
Hammer, centerpoint, BSA, etc etc etc. All eventually fail.

Well not airgun related, but airgun compressor related.
Bought a trolley so it is more easy to get compressor in and out for filling ( now that is is powered by a gasoline engine )
I can lift the compressor alright, but i am quite sure my doctor would advise against me doing so.
This way it is easy mobile, and not least for my friend that house the compressor, and who is much worse off than i am.

Took possession of my new Zelos from the UPS guy and aired it up about an hour ago…
So far no leaks…

If all the scope are failing, then the problem isn't the scope, but the gun itself...those break barrels in particular are know to break scopes as the double recoil is too harsh unless you get the anti recoil scope mounts.Put on ANOTHER scope.

Da bench gots legs! 32" 3/4 black iron pipe. Top is an old desktop 11/4" thick. Not as solid as concrete, but the legs unscrew, so...portable!

Modified a Sinclair clamp onto bench spotting scope stand. My scope has an angled eyepiece and with it mounted direct to the stand the eyepiece is horizontal to the ground and not convenient for me I got a piece of 1/4" thick angle aluminum, drilled and tapped a hole for it , then on the side that is now sticking out, mounted an Arca QD base for a camera, scope or whatever. Works great, with those Arca bases on my big tripod, and the proper plate on the scope I can move it about according to my need.

Thank you! Hopefully I get the aluminum bar this week, so I can finish it up next weekend. Now I just have to pick out a nice bipod. The one in the pic is a cheap UTG with a ton of slop in tne legs.

Installed a new cocking lever on my Notos today. AND found where I had put my extra set of Monstrum adjustable scope rings that I had been searching high and low for...forgot I needed rings for the new scope (Monstrum Hornet) I put on the Notos back when I first got it.....

For the U2 600mm .177 I polished the hammer spring seat around the shaft, sanded and polished the base that sits against the hammer adjustment. Polished the hammer spring everywhere but the spaces in-between as well as the hammer contact surfaces. And reduced the reg again by another 10b to test some of the lighter 10-13gr slugs I have laying around since I never really gave them a good try.

Went to the range today, bringing my Maverick, JSB heavies and JTS domed dead centers,
Also some 13 gr Zan.
First order of day bucking very high winds with heavies, only shooting 30 M and still getting pushed around, then tried JTS domed that like a slower speed.
Then found out that the new 600 mm STD liner do absolutely not like ANY slug. strange CUZ my same barrel in 700 mm did just fine with 13 gr Zan at least.
Then i assembled my new compressor trolley while my scope charged, and put the compressor in it, then pulled it the long way around the barn to get a feel for it,,,,,, and it was all good.
Then shot some more pellets ( both tins so +800 shots today even if miserable weather in regard to wind )
And in a lull in the wind i shot some nice groups on the MEGA GONG ( the end of the 20 foot container at 55 M ) at least this new barrel can shoot pellets, i think damn well, looking forward to trying it on a optimal day.
Also my friend got his hands on a couple of ManuLoaders, the guy that make them visit our range.
TBH i like it, magazine capacity so +20 shots, none of the regular magazine problems ( possible squeezed skirts ASO )
The manual indexing is no problem for a single shot tray rider like me, even if the one i got my hands on today is the one that is hard to index.
I will probably have to get a couple of them for my Maverick for when i might get to pesting.
Dont mind the tanking shot string in video, you have to remember to turn on the air, even if shooting 50 BAR regulated pressure there is quite a few shots in a 480 CC Maverick.
Also some 13 gr Zan.
