    Hold-Over or Dial? …Scope Turret Labels - DYI

    Hold overs only work so-so for me. They do work well for hunting when there is not enough time to dial in. I have a small dope card taped to my stock/air bottle with all the turret setting for 10 yard increments out to 100 +/- yards depending on the gun. It's easy to replace if I start using...

    Good results with lube...

    My .177 TX200 shoots pretty good with JSB 10.34's (labeled as 4.52), and H&N FTT 8.64's (also labeled as 4.52). (Strangely, it's not so good with a lot of other pellet weights and diameters, for some reason). Unfortunately, the H&N's which are labeled as 4.52 mm, and actually measure...

    TX200 mkIII barrel shroud question.

    That is nice. Did you make that, or is it available somewhere?

    TX200 mkIII barrel shroud question.

    I am considering getting one of these in .177 and have a question about cleaning the barrel with a crown saver pull through. Does the TX200 mkIII barrel shroud have a removable threaded end piece like the TX200 carbine version seems to have? It appears the carbine version has a removable...

    Thumbs up to Crossman...

    I don't know if anyone from Crossman will read this, but... THANKS. I recently chrono'd my 3 year old marauder F&T and the velocity went from 860 last year to 710 this year. I was getting 710 all the way down to 800 psi, so I figured the reg was at issue. I called them to order a new reg and...

    Tuning adjusting a .177 F&T Marauder regulator, and other questions...

    So, I just called Crossman and got to talk to someone right away. They don't have the parts diagram for the F&T (regulated) on their site, but was able to find the part quickly. They asked for my serial number, said the gun was only a couple of years old and would send the part no charge. OK...

    Tuning adjusting a .177 F&T Marauder regulator, and other questions...

    My post is above and I have another question that maybe someone can answer. The model of my Marauder is BP1764R. On the Crossman site under owners manuals/ parts for Benjamin rifles there are listings for the BP1764S and BP1764W, the synthetic and wood versions of the non regulated Marauder...

    Tuning adjusting a .177 F&T Marauder regulator, and other questions...

    My F&T .177 Marauder is about 3 years old. It originally shot JSB 10.34's at 870 fps and I got around 70 shots before the velocity dropped. I just checked the velocity and now it's shooting at 710 fps and I get about 120 shots before the velocity drops off to the 690's. It drops off when the...

    Need Advice on an EXTRA LONG 4500psi fill hose please

    I jrecently bought a $29 dollar micro hose for my AV 74cu tank that got kinked at the end. The replacement I bought from a well know vendor had a female and male end, not like the F/F original. I did not want multiple connectors to piece it together, so they did send me the correct one, as their...

    Tuning Marauder field and target factory settings

    Mine is a couple of years old. It chrono'd at 860 with these settings: Striker, (aka hammer), (smaller Allen screw from hole in back) 12 turns in, Hammer spring preload at 5 turns in, and Valve screw 4 turns out. This seems to be discussed factory settings. I also used to get about 80 shots...

    Tuning Yes, another MK2 Tuning Question

    If you average 902 ("901-903") for the first 5, and average 898 ("899-897") for the next five, that's only 4 FPS difference on the first 10 shots. And that's considering there is no margin of error in your chronograph, if you are using the same chrono as before. It sounds like at 23 shots your...

    First PCP, how important is regulated, Marauder vs? Something less expensive?

    Hi caito222, I was thinking Marauder all the way until I read your last statement where you said " OR my real question is: for a occasional shooter 1x week to shoot 30 pellets can I get something less expensive and fit this criteria??? Thanks". Unless you're doing something real special with...

    Daystate Revere Red Flag...no mags available, worldwide!

    I totally agree with you scallen2112. I'm sure Daystate is working their tails off trying to get get some mags available. I'm certainly happy for the AG's I've got and a good supply of pellets to enjoy this hobby. Thanks everyone for the replies!

    Daystate Revere Red Flag...no mags available, worldwide!

    Thanks, but the carm mags do not fit the Revere and the UK link, like all the one's I've been to, say "available for backorder may take 4 weeks or longer". I'm wondering how you can put out a product (I believe it's been out for +/- a year or so) and not have any product specific mags in the...

    Daystate Revere Red Flag...no mags available, worldwide!

    So I'm thinking I could really use a Daystate Huntsman Revere in .177. Accurate, nice and light, side lever cocking, and looks great. However... I always like to have a few extra magazines. If I'm hard at work knocking off pinecones from a pine tree it just won't do to stop every 13 shots to...

    "Best?" PCP for offhand shooting...

    Thanks for all the replies! 👍 My offhand standing shooting is not done "olympic" style with the elbow on the hip. It's more like how you would point the rifle up in a tree to shoot a squirrel. I usually shoot around a 100 shots at a time, 4 or 5 times a week. The heavier guns (scoped Beeman R1...

    "Best?" PCP for offhand shooting...

    I've been wanting to ask this question for a while. Almost all my shooting is offhand (standing) target shooting. Anywhere from 15 to 80 yards. I have 2 PCP's, an Impact X in .22 and a Marauder F&T in .177, and with them, I can hit 80 yard tin cans with both "most of the time" (> +/- 50%), not...
