    AoA and Ranger XR update

    L.Leon, I had a little time today to shoot. Trying to rest the narrow bottom rail on sand bags is less than ideal. When I could get consistent holds, it seemed to want to shoot very well. Shooting the Hades and Barracuda pellets and both grouped well, I just couldn't do it consistently. I...

    AoA and Ranger XR update

    Today, I received an email from Shane at AoA. My gun had a leak at the end of the cylinder that they repaired. They then aired it up and let it sit for a week to verify the repair. It should ship out today on the way back to me. I am well pleased with the service and communication. Looking...

    AoA experience

    No idea why my computer garbled my sentences. I corrected it twice.

    AoA experience

    Shane went over fill technique with me and suggested that I fill it and shoot it till low and repeat the process to see if something needed to seat. This gun uses a probe type filler, so I'm not sure which o-ring might be bad. Or how to access it. They were kind enough tOpening it slowly allowed...

    AoA experience

    January 26, I took the plunge and paid $1700 for a Ranger XR from AoA. When it arrived, I found that it lost air pressure fairly quickly. It took me a bit to realize just how busy AoA was and figure out how their customer service operated. Once I removed my head from my fifth point of contact...

    Alternative for New Style Brocock Magazines?

    Kinda irks me that the new style mags are not backwards compatible with the older rifles. I need to order at least one of each.

    Help me figure out what Im doing wrong

    I got an email from Shane at AoA not long after they opened today. He gave me a couple of suggestions to try. He offered to send me a return tag if I'm not able to solve the issue. He seems willing to help and thinks it can be resolved quickly. That's truly all I could ask for.

    Help me figure out what Im doing wrong

    At 11:45pm, I am down to 100 bar. 30 or so hours after filling. I have not gotten a reply to my email to AOA.

    Help me figure out what Im doing wrong

    When I left this morning for work, the guage read 150 bar. Definately a slow leak. Waiting for AOA to respond to an email asking for guideance.

    Help me figure out what Im doing wrong

    I received my adapter to fill my Ranger XR yesterday. Filled the gun and shot it twice, just to see how well the moderator worked. Noticed today that it was quite a bit under the full line on the guage. Thinking I didn't quite get it full, I went back to the scuba tank and filled it to the top...

    marauder

    I have one several years old in 177. Shoots great and has a decent trigger. I discovered that I needed a 22 caliber gun and bought a Bantam. Then recently I just had to have a Ranger XR. Its a sickness. As above, try different pellets. My Marauder shoots heavier JSB and Air Arms pellets best.

    Ranger XR first impressions

    Just spoke to Share at AOA. He's going to send a replacement stock assembly and a tag for shipping the old one back.

    Ranger XR first impressions

    This morning I awoke to find an email from Brocock. I've sent them a picture of the hinge, hopefully described the problem and now I'll wait. The time difference is substantial, so I'm not sure when I will here back. At this point, I would be more than happy to buy a new hinge assembly.

    Ranger XR first impressions

    L. Leon, I'm just a bit irked over spending$1700 on a pellet rifle and it not being useable. I had hope when I was transferred to a technician, but it was just to leave another voice mail. The charging handle issue may be that my gun was an early one. A tag on the box says July. Pictures on...

    Zan Projectiles

    Last weekend after a bit of debit card confusion, I was able to order from ZAN. Several email updates later, I got an email on Thursday informing me that my package was almost to my house. It arrived well boxed and padded with no damage to the several tins of pellets. Absolutely outstanding service!

    Ranger XR first impressions

    I also sent a message to Brocock. No reply as of yet. If this is the customer service norm of the airgun industry, I'll stick to the powder burners.

    Ranger XR first impressions

    Airguns of Arizona. No call back yet. It's looking like it will go back tomorrow for a refund. Not impressed with their service.

    Ranger XR first impressions

    It's a mismachined part. Not sure which piece is out of spec without dimensions to compare. I started playing phone tag with AOA at 10:30 eastern time.

    Ranger XR first impressions

    The charging lever is a simple fix. I have machinist friends who can make a shorter one. I've even thought about having one 3D printed. The stock is the biggest issue. I just hate to have to send it back across the country.
