    Airgun Technologies V3 700 .22 - tune coming along :) NSA 27.5's @985'ish

    I'm still dinking with this one on and off but am pretty happy with both the tune I've presently got on it and my strelok truing as well. I shot it for the first time in a couple of weeks out in my back yard yesterday and first thing I noticed was that I wasn't happy with where I had the scope...

    My .177 RTI Slugger is Back . . . ;)

    ...that they sell. ( I would speculate LW . . . . ? ) "Modded" in this case = the gun was setup as a .22 when I bought it from the AGN member. I *did* in fact polish it and give it a really good cleaning prior to "modding" (changing ) it to .177. I gave it a good cleaning prior to this...

    New Zulus won’t power on?

    Yeah - I have to hold it down on my old 1st gen sightmark wraith - gotta hold it for 2 or maybe 3 seconds. Same when powering it off.

    My .177 RTI Slugger is Back . . . ;)

    Because I apparently experienced a Pink Floyd'ish "Momentary Lapse of Reason" (lol) and took apart my perfectly good little .177 slugger to have a foray back into .22 land and MRD's . . . it's back - and it's back with a vengeance. :cool: ( @Vetmx - yeah - I built it back up - lol ) It's a...

    RTI P1 Performance, it's 1:32 LR barrel - "light" slugs - anyone had any luck? ( and why do I hate MRD's? )

    Yeah - the slugger discovery was purely accidental too. Readers digest - I bought two barrel kits for it from AOA which are both listed as the older 'Priest' model - one in .22 and the other in .177. ( This was when I still had only one RTI - which was a .25 at the time ) So anyway - I wasn't...

    RTI P1 Performance, it's 1:32 LR barrel - "light" slugs - anyone had any luck? ( and why do I hate MRD's? )

    ...again to shoot / use them and - nope. Who knows - probably just me. Anyway . . . . I've got the subjected gun tuned for them at 955'ish fps and *in calm conditions" and shooting off of a bench - they are pretty darned good. I go out in the field (ie; at my farm permissions, shooting off...

    My longest chuckie yet - 170 yds

    Thanks!! No it did not - according to Strelok it was still packing a punch (41 ft/lbs!) at that distance. I'm guessing (?) it either hit bone and/or expanded some. I only noted blood coming out from the one side as shown in the pic - didn't notice her leaking from anywhere else (exit wound).

    My longest chuckie yet - 170 yds

    This guy (well actually she was a she as it turned out) was *way* out in a field but I had confidence in the rifle as I've shot long with it before. Molly the dog and I were both there at the historical society's range as I was working on another gun sighting it in, dialing in a tune for .22...

    Family of woodchucks discovered - popped one and then . . . poof! The corpse disappeared (?)

    Hey there guys . . . readers digest - I got a call from a neighbor re: chuckie having setup residence underneath his workshop. Sure enough s/he's a biggun'! I wasn't able to get it (him/her) on that particular day - never re-appeared. I went back there today though and "whoa . . . ...

    I won a couple of bucks from a lottery ticket and it burned a hole in my pocket . . . (lol)

    . . . so I bought an Eaglevision "All in one – Muzzle Brake, Air Stripper & Harmonic Barrel Tuner" - this thing: https://eaglevisioncam.com/shop/muzzle-brakes-harmonic-barrel-tuner/all-in-one-muzzle-brake-air-stripper-harmonic-barrel-tuner3/?attribute_pa_muzzel-thread-size=1-2unf-x-20 It...

    Tuning I got my new Vulcan 3 500mm in .22 :-)

    Tuning I got my new Vulcan 3 500mm in .22 :-)

    I just recently picked up a V3 in 700 too (.22). I'm not running moderators on either of them, but then again I'm running both of mine quite a bit "less hot" than some of you are. I'm currently burning through a bunch of 18g H&N pellets with the 500 and it shoots them really well out to 85...

    Whats the longest shot youve ever taken and with which airgun

    I smoked a crow out of a tree at one of my farm permissions a year or two ago at 225 yds. .25 RTI with 34g H&N's. Took two shots - first one was just a lob out there to see if I could even get close to them ( there were three or four of them in said tree ). The guy that own the property was...

    Airgun Technologies Slowly but surely getting the V3 700 (.22) tuned

    I *think* I've found / stumbled upon a tune that I can live with. Readers digest - the .2165 & .217 nsa's showed up. The .217's were noticeably "snugger" fitting into the barrel and speed over the chrony reflected that. Set them aside. The .2165's, as kind of expected, did in fact show real...

    Airgun Technologies Slowly but surely getting the V3 700 (.22) tuned

    OK - @igolfat8 and anyone else that may be following this -- admittedly NOT a fair test of the MRD's. I'm trying to conserve air . . . and I still have those two boxes of NSA's coming in ( the .2165 and .217's ) that I want to continue testing with. That said - after the last test with those...

    Airgun Technologies Slowly but surely getting the V3 700 (.22) tuned

    lol -- yeah I can probably do that ( @work right now ). I'll have to turn the hammer spring back and get 'em going 890-900'ish and then see what they do. I'll post a pic in a day or two. ( weather actually decent today and tomorrow )

    Airgun Technologies Slowly but surely getting the V3 700 (.22) tuned

    lol . . . *honestly* -- I truly don't know. ( good question! ) I bought it specifically for a slug shooter and those were the first things I sent through it. Not these current ones - some others - these nsa's have (so far) proven the most promising. . . . maybe I should wing some...
