Not sure. I always used a chronograph when adjusting mine. Shoot over chronograph to get speed, then adjust with a turn and shoot again. I always stopped when velocity peaked. Rifle usually arrives with the screw already set to max velocity. If you turn it in and don't see a rise in velocity...

Cheap pumps will last longer than the expensive Hill versions. My Hill rusted in no time vs my China pump that shows no signs of rust no matter how much condensation builds up in it. Also easier to maintain than the Hill. I don't mind exercise so I stick with the hand pump.

You are not adjusting the hammer spring but the striker screw. It is more like a Benjamin Marauder where you shorten or lengthen the striker distance with the small screw in the hammer. You have to cock the gun and turn the hammer till you see the locking allen screw from the bottom. Loosen that...

https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/new-athlon-rangecraft-chronograph-garmin-xero-killer.7245227/page-7#post-12319553 Second to last post by Verminterror did some testing of doppler chronographs that you guys might find interesting. He used more than one of the same model units to test...

Yeah there is a matching groove on the lower receiver that the upper receiver tab has to fit into.

Have noticed that the Turkish guns come a little over sprung and benefit from some tuning.

Had a Kral before and the Turks know how to tune a nonregged gun from the get go to shoot a long flat string.

How is the weight on that rifle?

Saw one of those at the Lewis and Clark museum in St Charles MO

You probably could have cocked the gun and taken the hammer spring pressure off the valve, closing it enough to let you hand pump it up. For guns with no free space in the hammer to valve relationship, cocking them takes the pressure off letting the valve close enough to seal.

My go to squirrel getter is an old RTI Prophet 1 .22 compact. Short and light enough for getting around easy. Plenty of gas on tap to shoot 16 or 18 gr pellets. Taipan standard or compact is another good choice. Daystate Revere is nice. I have a .177 but wish I had picked up a .22 to keep all...

How far do you plan to shoot and what size targets? I keep my .22 R9 as a close range shooter and use a Leupold 4x rimfire scope.

Plus you have to load the pellet pen first and that may be just as difficult as loading the mag or breech with fingers.

Yup looking at this weekend as well. Lows in the 50s and highs in the 80s. Not terrible for late August.

You wanting to do $300 total, scope and all or just $300 for a rifle? If you want something PCP style, you will need to allow money for a means to fill the gun with air. A spring fired gun may have to be pretty potent to take down a crow. The more powerful a spring gun gets, the harder it is to...

Missouri starts up in May but the summer is too dang hot and humid to be out in the woods with mosquitos and ticks. So far, the end of August is shaping up to be a nice transition into fall with decent cooler temps. I am looking forward to it.

How much you looking to spend? A budget idea will help us narrow down your options.

Yeah hunting public lands sucks. Got to have private land for small game hunting.

Yup went out today as well and they were hanging out high in the trees munching on walnuts. Still a little warm and humid here.

There is a ball bearing gun on Metro that you have to pump up to keep the pressure at leathal velocity. It is also really quiet so as not to alert others.
