    FX Does this seem right?

    Well, I checked the hammer weight and spring and they both look correct for a 0.30 cal. The hammer weight is 13g and the spring is 52 mm. I'm going to reset the regs at 170 and 140 (or as close as I can with that tiny gauge) and try it over the chrony again while adjusting the IHS.

    FX Does this seem right?

    FX Does this seem right?

    How exactly would I do this?? This is a new gun so I don't want to void the warranty. I've never really did much work on pcps so this is all new territory for me. In fact, does IHS mean "internal hammer spring"?

    FX Does this seem right?

    I did read the owners manual several times. It states that the 2nd reg should be 25 to 50 bar lower than the first reg. I also watched several videos including the Ernest Rowe video. I believe Rowe set his at 150 and 170 for "high power". I did notice that my gun has a different reg gauge...

    FX Does this seem right?

    I got a chance to shoot my new 0.30 cal FX Maverick Sniper this evening. I have the first regulator set at 180 bar and the second reg at 150 bar. I'm shooting 50.15 grain JSBs with the hammer spring wheel all the way up to number 7 and only getting a velocity of 750 fps. Does this sound right...

    What are your thoughts on aea pellets?

    The 45 grain 0.30 cal AEAs shoot better in my Gauntlet SL30 than any of the other pellets and slugs I've tried including JSBs,JTSs and various weight slugs. I can get a 1/8" c-c 5 shot group at 25 yards with them.

    Gauntlet SL30 vs JTS Aircuda Max.30 cal

    I have a Gauntlet SL30. I have not shot it much yet just at 20 yards. At 20 yards my best 5 shot groups are 7/16 inch. That is with 50.15 JSB, 45.06 JTS and 64 Gr Javelin slugs.

    What is your FAVORITE Air Rifle?

    I just picked up a FX Maverick Sniper in 0.30 at the Midwest show last weekend for the exact reasons you described. It's my first FX. It has 2 regulators which have to be set up separately so there is some adjusting required. There are videos on line which goes through the procedure. I have...

    MidWest Airgun Show THIS SATURDAY!!!!!

    It's about a 4 hour drive for me each way but I'm going to get up early and go for it. I know I would kick myself if I didn't go. I went to the Findley show last year and picked up a couple of RAWs. This year I want to check out an FX and/or a Brocock if I can find a deal I can't resist.

    Sheridan Decided to go old school

    I've been getting frustrated lately with some issues I've been having with some of my pcps so I decided to get out my 1961 vintage Sheridan Blue Streak. Holy crap!! I was shooting 13.73 JSBs and getting 5 shot groups at 20 yards that were 1 slightly ragged hole! At 10 yards 5 shots were 1...

    DAR DAR Gen 3 losing velocity

    I have a gen 3 0.22 DAR that I bought last September. I checked it's velocity with 15.89 JSBs and it was 830 fps. This evening I shot it and it seemed noticeably slower so I got out the chrony and sure enough, it's only shooting the same JSBs at 580 fps. What would make a relatively new pcp...

    Beeman Beeman 13625 Commodore

    Does anyone have this gun and how do you like it? I've tried searching for info but can't find much. There a few videos but are in spanish. It's a regulated bullpup in 0.22 and is just under $200 at some places.

    Any guns you regret buying"

    Benjamin Akela, terrible accuracy, can't get better than 1" groups at 20 yards with any pellet I've tried. Also, 0.22 cal. RAW HM1000X- less than 9 months old and already leaks and accuracy is no better than my $500 Cayden.

    Can someone explain why the POI change?

    I would like to thank everyone for their suggestions. PCPOlsen, thanks for the write-up on how to set up my scopes. When you talk about the parallax adjustment are you referring to the distance adjustment that is on all the adjustable objective (AO) scopes? I do wear my glasses when shooting...

    Can someone explain why the POI change?

    Where is a good place to get RAW o-rings? I understand they are quite expensive from RAW.

    Can someone explain why the POI change?

    I disagree with that premise. It's lunacy to say the more something costs the worse it is.

    Can someone explain why the POI change?

    To add to my frustrations, I just grabbed my 0.22 RAW HM1000X to see if it had a POI shift just to find that every bit of air has leaked out over the winter!! This is a new gun that I just bought last year at the Findley show! So the most expensive PCP gun I own leaks like a sieve while I have...

    Can someone explain why the POI change?

    Nope, shooting the same pellets from the same lot.

    Can someone explain why the POI change?

    I'm still wearing the same glasses. The POI shifts are generally down and to the right. I didn't really pay attention to the magnification.

    Can someone explain why the POI change?

    I did check velocities and didn't find any change. I don't know what a SFP scope is, all my scopes are AO budget (under $125) scopes.
