    Maximus Routine Maintenance Advice

    I hope this is the appropriate place to post this. If not please steer me to the correct forum. I've had my .22 maximus for a couple of months now and am very pleased with it. It is accurate and simple to use. Still in the pellet testing phase and have found a couple that group well so far. I...

    Help Deciding On First .22 PCP

    Well I gotta say I'm just darn impressed with my Maxi H! I pumped her up to 2k and went out to zero the scope today. Here's what I did with six targets three shots each. The scope was right where I wanted it at 10 yds. It was blazing hot today. By target six I had sweat in my eyes and dripping...

    Help Deciding On First .22 PCP

    The Maxi Hunter and hand pump both came in yesterday. I checked the pressure out of the box and it held overnight. I assembled the pump and pressured her up to 1000 this morning and it held all day. I did a good clean on the barrel, it wasn't as bad as I expected. Got the scope mounted and...

    The Maxi and hand pump arriving Friday. Woo Hoo!! Any suggestions on maintenance of the hand pump? Yes its an eBay Chinese pump but its all I can afford at this time. I am putting an air inlet desiccant dryer/filter together now. I'm familiar with the pumping method and avoiding heat build up...

    Help Deciding On First .22 PCP

    So I pulled the trigger, pun intended, on a .22 Maximus Hunter today and have a question. Should I perform a good clean and lube prior to shooting? I would like some feedback on how you all prep a new PCP shooter right out of the box. I planned on checking for pressure when it arrives and...

    SOLD - XS46U Mike Melick Full Tune

    I am selling my Mike Melick fully tuned XS46U, scope not included. I purchased this rifle in March of 2018 so the rifle is in excellent condition and has ~1200 pellets through it. I love the simplicity of the underlever and the rifle is easy to cock but its just a little to heavy for me at 60...

    Help Deciding On First .22 PCP

    I think a .22 Maximus Hunter maybe in my future. I spoke with TKO and I can get a 5" moderator to screw on the barrel adapter. Evidently the screw adapter is fixed and does not come off. Now I'm off to research hand pumps... Mikey

    Help Deciding On First .22 PCP

    Thanks for the replies all. I'm retired and on a fixed budget so spending the additional $50 for a Disco is certainly a consideration. You Maximus shooters are moving the needle towards the Maxi!! What FPS are you guys getting, disco or maxi? I would like to stay above 800 but of course...

    Help Deciding On First .22 PCP

    I have been pounding the forums and have finally narrowed my first PCP down to a Benjamin Discovery or Maximus. I have made this decision based on several criteria. First, the 2000 lb fill and using a hand pump exclusively to fill it, second, the mods I plan on installing (PA/Spring, Trigger...

    A different method of Gauntlet barrel support

    Springrrrr, Do have a pic of your barrel support mod? I didn't really care for the barrel/bottle barrel support either but couldn't find any other solutions. Mikey

    PCP Airguns

    I am thinking about a maximus as well. Then, I saw the new benjamin fortitude soon to be unleashed. My only concern is the fortitude is not reviewed yet and a 3000 lb fill. I'm trying to keep it simple so ill be using a hand pump. Mikey

    A different method of Gauntlet barrel support

    I was considering a gauntlet as my next rifle but had the concern with the lack of barrel support as I would be taking it in the woods often. I did find however, a barrel support that slips down the barrel then is slipped over the end of air bottle. I saw this at GTA and YouTube (hajimoto barrel...
