    New FX Crown Mk2 - Why it shot so well "out of the box" Thought you guys might enjoy this progression... So I bought a new FX Crown Mk2 .22 caliber - I got a great deal on it. It's what is called an FX Crown "base" - no stock or moderator supplied. When it arrived from Texas, the seller...

    Hunter25, that is awesome at 100 yards! With a .35 scoring plug, that is 240+ - perhaps 244 !! Are you shooting pellets? What rifle and caliber?

    Nice shooting daddypaddy! Welcome to the 30 and 40 Yard Challenges !! I have two .177 Akelas (one I haven't tuned up and put into service yet). I know a lot about tuning Akela/Cayden/Kratos rifles - built up over a few years of experience and tons of testing... ...are you using the stock...

    Darn good shooting Joe - with two different rifles! Are the triggers similar or different? Were you using Ole Red on the 50 bulls target? Happy 4th 🇺🇸👍🏻

    It must be 200 day... as I just shot the lowest "X" 200 that I've ever seen ...! Fantastic cards Mike and Tommy! Mine is not so precise, but its at 40 yards - windy day - and with the first 30 or so AEA 18g pellets I've shot. Leaderboard Submission: Target: 40-Challenge - 200 12X Rifle...

    Thomas Air Headspace tweaking, not the kind between your ears

    Hi igolfat8, This has got me thinking... I just did a mini review of the .177 AEA 13.7g pellet in the 30-Yard Challenge thread. I've always felt that I got more consistent results (and perhaps shot strings) with the shorter length 8.x and 10.3g pellets. I don't get traditional "fliers" so...

    Pellet Report: .177 AEA 13.7g Shot these cards with testing a new pellet - the AEA .177 13.7g. The pellet seems identical in shape to the 13.4g FX/JSB/AA soft lead pellet. The AEA .177 pellets (8.72g, 10.3g and 13.7g) load smoothly like JSB pellets. Much smoother than JTS pellets seem to...

    I agree Trucker.... the concept of diminishing returns applies to most things, and certainly to airguns. What makes diminishing returns for air rifles even more interesting is that many/most of the manufacturers don't make their own barrels - and that is the key component that determines the...

    Tommy - Great shooting with that 700mm Vet2 Taipan ! You can submit both the 198 and 199 30-Masters, but only the 199 will show on the 30-Masters leaderboard. Sometimes I leave two scores for the same rifle on the same leaderboard if the pellets used are significantly different weights - like...

    I’ve got just one springer - a Weihrauch HW97. It’s very accurate, but you need to practice with it often - as springer technique is different than PCP. RCope has a 192 up on the 30-Challenge leaderboard with his FWB150 - so it’s possible to shoot our target well with a spring piston rifle.

    30-Yard Challenge

    Hi Guys, So immediately after installing the 500mm barrel back onto my green Crown Mk2, I shot and submitted the 197 40-Challenge with it on 6/18. Today is the 1st time I shot it since. I figured I'd shot a 40-Masters in the sweltering 95 degrees and humid heat we have in Connecticut today...

    Great shooting Joe ! I assume this 247 is also with the AEA 29.5g pellets at 975fps?

    thomasair showed how much shooters are pushing the boundaries of what is possible with competition grade rifles and top notch trigger pulling… … see post# 3222 where he submitted a 198 13X Masters card at 50 meters (55 Yards) ! Definitely need some good scope magnification at 55 yards, lol . -Ed
