    N/A Got an accurate gun? 100 yard 5x5 challenge

    Geez, that .177 can shoot slugs at 100y! 👍👍 This thread really opened my eyes as to what the .177’s can do at 100y with light slugs.

    WRABF World Cup Finland 2025

    Thanks. Finally had a good chance to look at all the tab results in your link. Boy, those Rimfire only scores are phenomenal. You have to scroll pretty far down the spreadsheet to see lower scores, and even those were great. I don’t envy the folks tabulating all the results for the various...

    N/A Minimal tuning and accurate pcp rifle?

    Thanks. Read his post, too complicated for me. I’m ok with the 480 CC bottle, I just prefer the look and feel of a cylinder gun. My RAW TM1000X .177 has a nice Titanium air cylinder and was just curious if I could get AoA to fit one for the new Magnum. I confirmed with AoA sales, and they do...

    N/A Minimal tuning and accurate pcp rifle?

    Thanks. Do you happen to know if a cylinder can be added to a .22 cal x Sniper XR Magnum? I could swear I saw other BRK models that could have a cylinder vs. bottle added. Air and shot count is not an issue. Tom

    Thanks Tim. Yeah, they looked like a good bunch. Best wishes this week at PAC.

    First visit to Fairfield Sportsmen’s Association, Cincinnati, OH

    Thanks for pics Tim. Pretty unusual range set up, not sure I have seen another like it. Love the name, “Fort Desperation.” Assume this range is for all types of rifles. The benches are pretty close together, and with the covered high ceiling, I would imagine it could get pretty loud ( even...

    N/A Minimal tuning and accurate pcp rifle?

    Thanks for the response. Yeah, thought it was Ambi. Great. I prefer side lever on right, so no issue. I’m hoping there is a space for a small carve out behind the action so the HS can be adjusted in the stock. I’ll ask Shane at AoA.

    N/A Minimal tuning and accurate pcp rifle?

    Ron, saw your recommendation I just placed an order with AoA for a new Brocock Sniper XR Magnum .22, Laminate stock. I had a couple of questions after reading the specs on both BRK and AoA website. None of these questions were addressed in the documented specs. 1. Looks to be Ambi, as I am a...

    Which gauge to trust?

    It’s actually a really good question. I have wondered about this for a long time, given the variety of air gun bottle gauges, various fill tank valves, etc. Agree with Long_Gun. I recently bought a new compressor ( Coltri ICON MCH-6 ) and was filling both a 6.8L Acecare and a 9L Great...

    What Paper Target Did You Shoot Today

    Thanks for the reminder Tim. I do need to try the MRDs in the Vet2. I just got a new AEA 25.39g tin of 500 pellets. Sounds like a good project for next week. Best of luck at PAC. Bring some of that recent practice “230++” scoring with you for the finals! Regardless, of any outcomes...

    30-Yard Challenge

    Greg Your last sentence, I could not agree more. I don’t think there are too many who would disagree with your sentiment. Great shooting and it’s nice to have the background. Tom

    Results Benchrest is perplexing

    https://www.airgunnation.com/threads/100yds-groups-no-white-lies-no-b-s-just-be-honest.1324806/page-6#post-2015626 Jerry, see Tim’s recent 100y bench rest EBR targets ( above link ) shot with his RAW .30 LRT. Your RAW .30 should be shooting much better at 50 yards.

    N/A Got an accurate gun? 100 yard 5x5 challenge

    Hey Jack 50 shots, almost all ten ( 8 of 10) five shot groups are sub MOA at 100y, and outdoors to boot! Those Altaros slugs are really good.

    What Paper Target Did You Shoot Today

    Back at it today, but this time with the Taipan Vet2 .22 Long 700mm barrel. Shot 3 N50 cards, and it was sadly windy again. I never tried the AEA 18.3g pellet, so I fired up the Garmin Chrony and was speed dialing to 975 FPS range. One of the Taipan owners had good luck with this pellet and...

    Results Benchrest is perplexing

    Jerry, Just saw this post. First off, Ross is right in suggesting you contact Martin Rutherford. If you send him the action only ( no stock ) he will go through your action and barrel “soup to nuts” until he gets it shooting MOA or sub MOA groups at 50y. The firmer HS may really help as Ross...

    Did anyone order themselves something neat for Labor Day?

    Placed an order with AoA for one of these. Stage 2 tune and will get the sub MOA barrel if/when available.

    What Paper Target Did You Shoot Today

    Those AEA Center Punch 21.9g pellets shoot really well in my recent fairly new Taipan Vet2 .22 Long with the 700mm Barrel also. I use the rifle for mostly 30-40Y paper target challenges, but have scored some low to mid 240’s with it outdoors. Wind has to be light for me to have a chance at my...

    Is lubricating pellets necessary?

    Good short video. He is pretty definite on his opinion, which I actually prefer. The washing with soap detergent and gently shaking the pellets in the jar takes no time. Especially if you do 1,000 pellets in two tins. I like the idea of lubing the lint free cloth lightly (assume an old...
