Thinking of picking up a Karma EQ for hunting jack rabbits and maybe some small hogs but there isn't a lot of videos out on it
Any experience with the Karma EQ 30 cal for hunting
- Thread starter DuVulcha
- Start date
Have you found anyone making a bottom rail for this gun? Not sure how I feel about using a bottle clamp.

i have a friend that has one and we shot crows the other evening between 50 to 120yrds.
he could hit them ok at <50, but i dont think it was zero'd correctly.......
i had my U1 in .30, and you should know the rest of the story

Have any of yall played with the transfer port adjustment at all? I heard that fully open is actually dead center on the wheel not “max”.

Yeah just saw that in one of the early review videos when he put it on max it lowered the fps…
Quick report guys… I got my .30 cal today. There is definitely some regular break in needed. Plenum is creeping from 2100-2200fps. Not a big deal so far. If it doesn’t settle after a bit I’ll break it down and relube it with Reg Butter. With the transfer port on max it’s shooting the fx 50.2gr pellets at 899-905fps. I’m really impressed so far. It is heavy but it shoulders really well. Lots and lots of power. I haven’t touched a dang thing and it’s making 90fpe. Considering the website says 102fpe for “max power” I think it’s safe to say they are under promising.

Yall this gun is an absolute beast… sorry I’ve been distracted but I’m still playing with it haha. I keep feeding her heavier slugs and she keeps spitting them out with heat haha…
Upcoming:
I’ve got a bunch of griffins, Sonny’s slugs and heavier Franco’s coming to go with the Patriot Javelins. So I’ll be trying dish base slugs in 56gr, 60gr, 65gr and 70gr. Boat tails in 59gr, 60gr, 61gr, 65gr, 75gr and 78gr. It will 100% shoot the 78s between 810-830 like a gauntlet. But I like to shoot faster because I like the flatter trajectories. So if I had to guess it’s gonna end up somewhere between 60-65gr doing right around 900fps or more.
Keep in mind I’m not going for a max power tune. My goal is the max power/accuracy I can make and get at least one full mag, so 22 shots. Do I need 22 shots at 115-125fpe? Not really. But dang it feels pretty good dumping a mag of big fat boattails that everyone else has to single load.
