    Why .22 and why .30

    So, as I sift through video reviews for perhaps my next gun, I can't help but be intrigued by the number of reviews at .22. I'm wondering why 8 out of 10 reviews are for .22 models of just about every gun reviewed. I have been shooting .25 for years and its hard to venture out of my comfort...

    Epic Opinion with Epic 2 vs Skout Evo

    I'm taking my time with my new air rifle purchase. Seems like a lot of exciting high power slug slingers are coming out. I'm looking for more of a bench rifle, I have a .25 Kalibrgun Cricket as a woods-walker hunter. The Epic 2 with the 700 mm barrel/CF bottle is really catching my eye...

    FX IMPACT: VALVE VS HST

    Sorry if this has been discussed before., so I'll make it quick. I see videos where tuners say, for slugs, leave the valve all the way open with a slight turn in, (but basically it's wide open). If you're wanting to zero in on a particular velocity and are maybe 5-10 fps high, would you dial in...

    Skout Evo Review?

    So I'm on the list for an Evo but there's been nary a review or any shooting videos. Kinda makes one nervous, sight unseen. Not on the "paid" list. Has anyone seen anything yet? thanks

    AEA .25 33.9 BC

    Does anyone know the BC of the AEA 33.9 pellet? Been looking but can's seem to find that info. Just tried some in my Kalibrgun Cricket Gen.1 and they did better than the JSB 34's at 50. I'd like to load that into my Strelok program. Thanks

    FX HOW DO YOU LOWER IMPACT SPEED?

    I am reading about people achieving better results shooting slugs at lower speeds with their Impacts. Just quick question… Do you simply lower speed with the power wheel or do you retune down to a lower speed with the reg and hammer adjust screw? Right now I’m shooting .25 slugs at around...

    FX Tuning Question for Impact

    I have a .25 cal Impact MKII on which I swapped the old power wheel for the M3 power wheel. I noticed that power setting 8 has a circle around it. Guessing that indicates something besides the obvious "half way point." What that might be, I don't know When tuning, is it advised to tune from the...

    Taipan Decisions, decisions....

    I've been away from shooting for over a year and coming back; and so what's the logical thing to do in this situation? Buy a new air rife, that's what! Right now I own two .25 FX Impacts and a .25 Kalibrgun Cricket. Thinking I'll sell one of the Impacts The Taipan II Tactical has caught my...

    Other Been Away for a Long Time...Catching Up

    Hi all.... I think that it's been over a year since I stopped shooting.... Why? I have no idea.... sometimes life takes you on a detour, I guess . I've picked up the Impact and the Cricket and set the table back up. The Impact was empty, (0 psi), on the bottle gauge but still had 150 psi on the...

    Tuning Reg. Creeping Down

    Well I’ve heard of regs generally creeping up but on my Impact MKII it creeps down. This is the FX AMP Reg. set to 164 bar. Three times now I’ve had to bring it back up from 154 or 157. And this happens within maybe 1/2 to 1 hour. Does anyone have an idea as to why? I have a high pressure...

    This or This?

    I’m wondering if anyone has an opinion as to these two lubes. I’ve tried both but only once each so not enough data. The liquid silicon oil seemed to have an edge but again too early to tell. The weather has been lousy for a month straight; can’t get out to test. The WD-40 Specialist...

    Tuning High Reg. Pressure vs Low Reg Pressure

    Recently I was starting to notice that my groups were opening up at what was once a very nice tune. I did the usual, barrel clean, check hammer stop, check HSTA, scope mount tightness, etc. So I thought I'd re-tune. I was watching Dubber's video on tuning for slugs at high power. Long story...

    CF liner: 29 Bucks Well Spent

    Picked up a CF liner for my .25/700 mm Impact II. Did not glue it. Great groups on my first outing at 50 and 100 but tonight I went out to 145. I only had about 30 minutes til sundown after work so I don’t think I was quite in “the zone” racing the light so some targets are worse than others...

    NSA 38.9

    I’m trying the NSA 38.9 gr slugs in my Impact2 w Superior Heavy liner at 900 FPS with excellent results. Reg at 118-120 bar. Best groups at PW4. At 50 yards consistent 0.2” groups. Only tried once at 100. One shot was a flier the other four in the red for a 0.447” group. Is anyone else using...

    Tuning Cricket .25 losing power.

    I have a Cricket .25 which used to get 860+FPS with JSB heavy MK2. Now all I can get is 850. I have replaced the hammer spring from Georgia Air guns but see no improvement. I rebuilt the gun completely a year or so ago but have been shooting my FX more. I’m discovering that I never should...

    Cricket holds its own. N50

    I’ve just entered the realm of benchrest. Was having bad luck with my other guns when I decided to pull out my old 2013 Kalibrgun Cricket. This gun can sit in the case for six months or more and have the same pressure reading as to when I stored it. First shot is always spot on. My other guns...
