    My recent great buying experience at Talon Tunes

    Hi gang This is my 2nd Taipan purchased at Talon Tunes. First time was several years ago buying a Taipan Long .25 Long (Vet 1). I really liked the rifle but the .25 was probably over kill for BR paper targets at 50y. I did have a couple bumps breaking it in, and sent it back and Tony...

    Taipan Baptized the new Taipan Vet 2 today

    I received a new Taipan .22 Long ADF with 700mm barrel last week. Mounted a new DNT Optics FFP 7 X 35 X 56mm 34mm scope on this rifle. It is strictly for the bench and although I did not weigh it I think it is a little over 12lbs with the 42oz 34mm scope. I plan to use it for 30 and 40Y...

    EaZy Trigger Fill for PCPs

    Ed (EPG) got me interested in this lil’ do dad. I really like it. If you are at the range, or at the bench in your backyard and you fill from an air tank several times during your shooting session, take a look at this EzAy Fill Trigger from Edgun. $ 150, not cheap but worth it to me anyway...

    N50 cards with .22 Anschutz 64 MPR

    So today, I had only 3000 psi left in my Great White tank. Not enough air for today. I Had cabin fever and had to get out and get some range time. I brought my old reliable Annie 64 MPR .22 LR to the local outdoor range. I had two boxes of Lapua Center-X and one box of Eley Match 40g ammo...

    Daystate Revere .177 unregulated at AoA on sale for $900

    I have a regulated .22 Revere, but I was searching the Daystate website and could not find some technical information. For those members that have the .177 unregulated 18 FPE rifle, what pellet brands and associated velocities are providing best results at 25-40 yards? Also, for those that...

    FX Boss .30 N50 and EBR 100y cards

    I brought the FX Boss .30 cal with me today at the range. I have not shot this rifle in months, as I normally shoot .22 /.177's for the 30 & 40Y target challenge cards with 23-32 FPE rifles. Newman Buck set this up for me about 18 months ago, and it still shoots very accurately at both 50 and...

    RAW TM1000x .177 moderators

    Just bought one of these and will be using for Benchrest target shooting at primarily 30-50 yards. Gun is in the process of being tuned for JSB 13.4 g .177 pellet at around 810 FPS. My request - what brand(s) moderators has anyone used that enhance accuracy for the TM1000x based on your...

    RAW HM1000x N50 cards with the new "shallows"

    I finally got several tins of the new JSB 25.39 Shallow Pellets. Went out to my local outdoor range today and shot (4) N50 cards. I am admittedly a bit rusty, as I have been focused on the 30Y and 40Y Challenge targets for months. RAW HM1000X .22 with very clean barrel Midas Tac 6-24X50MM...

    Rangemaster pellet experience for Revere .22 and RAW rifles?

    I am curious to know if anyone has any user experiences using the Rangemaster pellets for Daystate Revere .22 and also RAW .177 and .22 calibers. I.e., quality of pellets, accuracy vs. JSB or others, and any other observations are appreciated. AoA has them listed on their web site, but the 18g...

    N50 Card with Daystate Revere .22

    Today was beautiful, but chilly in the AM. 44 degrees, but sunny and NO WIND!! :) I had the Revere .22 out and wanted to shoot a couple of 30 yard challenge cards and an N50 card. Shooting the JSB 15.89 at around 885 FPS, which does shoot pretty well at 50 yards. I never shoot any N50...

    N50 cards with "Annie"

    Went out this week with my Anschutz .22 LR. Forgot my tuner, but I haven't shot this rifle in a while. Never lets me down, but today I had to use some different ammo for my '3rd' N50 card and it ruined my 3-card average. I ran out of the RWS50 after the second card. Shot a 250, 248 and a...

    N50 cards with new JTS Dead Center 25.39 pellets

    I ordered some tins (10) of JTS Dead Center 25.39 "shallow cavity" pellets from New England Air Guns. I went out today to shoot both groups and a couple of N50 cards. I am happier with these vs. the old "Deep Cavity" JSB 25.39 MRDs. Much happier! I shot the RAW HM1000X .22 HP which actually...

    N50 and EBR cards - 50 and 100 yard targets

    Had a chance to shoot some 100 yard EBR paper targets today with the FX Boss .30 and also shot some recent N50 50 yard targets with my Anschutz 64 MPR .22 LR. Wind was light today, and was also light with the N50 cards as well. The Annie always shoots well, and with Midas+, CenterX, Lapua Long...

    FX Royale .22 - refinished stock with True Oil

    A couple weeks back, the summer was getting hotter and I decided to take on a 'project' with one of my air guns. I wanted to try to refinish the Walnut stock on my FX Royale 400 .22, which was virtually perfect, and there was absolutely no need to do this....I just wanted to try it and see if...

    Shot a RAW N50 50-yard card today

    Shot (2) N50 cards today at local outdoor range. A 229 and a 244. I was happy with the 244, but a couple of bulls got away from me and it was NOT wind! I casually mentioned in another target challenge thread, I have been giving thought to swapping out my .22 Poly barrel for either a .25 or a...
