    Wall hanging tips

    I used to hang everything horizontally using sheets of pegboard and holders but I wanted something more discreet. I got tired of hanging a sheet over everything to “hide my hoard” whenever I had a contractor working on something. I inherited a bunch of lockers from work when they remodeled...

    Wall hanging tips

    I’ve switched to hanging everything vertically using guitar wall hangers.

    I posted my 100 yard group where's yours?

    It's my fault for making a vanity post instead of a contribution of knowledge or encouragement but if I had known the childish foundations this post got built on, I would have stayed out. It seems like this is some sort of playground argument that is frankly shameful behavior for even children...

    I posted my 100 yard group where's yours?

    Shot using JSB 18.13 grain pellets from my Gen 2 marauder, in .22, fairly modified with aftermarket bits and pieces.

    Cleaning the bore of a uragan question

    I recently blew the barrel o-ring out of my Uragan Standard in .22 and took it apart for the first time to get the barrel off and replace it. Between the video showing how to get the initial covers off to get to the retention screws and the walk through description and diagram provided by...

    First National 50 targets tried (and I liked it!)

    Thanks Mike that’s a great tip! Here are some pictures of the plug I made per your instructions and the .33” DIY first try. As soon as I can form an official club I plan to order official targets and a plug set.

    Uragan barrel removal -or- Dang it, I blew out my barrel o-ring!

    I wanted to share my experience of blowing out the barrel o-ring in my Uragan (standard) and getting it back in place. I had the barrel o-ring blow out last night and after trying a few times to cajole it back into place the angles were fighting me and I resigned myself to figuring out how to...

    Testing heavy pellets and slugs in my .22 Uragan

    I had Tony at Talon Tunes swap out the factory reg for the Huma and I asked him to set it up for me to specifically shoot pellets on the heavy end of the spectrum. I didn’t ask what he had it set for but he said there’s a little more that could be wrung out if I want it in the future. When I...

    First National 50 targets tried (and I liked it!)

    I had a chance to knock two items off my “get to know you” list for my Uragan. I tried it out on some National 50 practice targets and compared it to my (previous standard for accuracy) MMHF barreled Marauder. To be fair to my beloved Mrod, since getting the Uragan I haven’t shot it much and I...

    Testing heavy pellets and slugs in my .22 Uragan

    Thanks Harry, I agree! Too fast, and MORE wind drift than at the communally preferred 880-ish FPS! I’ve gotten some .22 Monster Redesigned in and had a chance to test them at 50 yards and I think at this tune they have a slight edge over the Beasts. It still looks like I can get MOA-ish to...

    New, or new to me?

    I’ll try to make you feel better. I bought this tank new last year. I had no idea it would be so old! I fill it from my own compressor and I got a smokin’ deal on it but I was still pretty surprised to not be informed that even though “new” and unused, the tank was on the verge of needing a...

    Just got my Uragan!

    I have only tried H&N's 21 grain Baracudas and they performed the worst of any pellet I've tried. I think I had heard that H&N uses a harder alloy in their pellets but I can't say for sure. I am pushing back to 50 yards for testing and have picked up some Redesigned Monsters to compare. I hope...

    Testing heavy pellets and slugs in my .22 Uragan

    Wanted to share a bit of my journey so far… When I purchased my Uragan one of the things I wanted was the ability to shoot pellets at the heavy end of the spectrum. I found that the Beasts are just a hair too long for the magazines but single loading to shoot at least showed promise when I...

    Can the .22 JSB 33.9 gr Beasts play nicer with Uragan mags?

    Well, to quote the Dude, “that’s just, like, your opinion man” 😉 I’m having trouble reading your post but I appreciate any and all attempts at helping. I’m still in the get to know each other phase so my opinion is that everything is worth trying. I’m still playing around with holds, rests...

    Can the .22 JSB 33.9 gr Beasts play nicer with Uragan mags?

    Quick update... The Carm magazines CAN be successfully modified to accept Beasts. I took the cover plate off and sanded a shallow channel on the inside in order to gain the tiny extra room for the length of the Beasts.

    Finding the right pellet for 25m benchrest

    I may be wrong but I believe the USARB “Open” class is limited to 35 foot pounds in .177/.20/.22 and the “Unlimited” class has no power cap but is still caliber limited to .177/.20/.22 https://www.usairriflebenchrest.com/rules/ WRABF (world rimfire and air rifle) has more restrictive air rifle...

    Just got my Uragan!

    Continuing the break in/get to know each other period I got a little more playtime this evening. I’ve been burning up the H&N’s in the basement to just put shots through it for break in and to get familiar with it’s balance and trigger. At short range at least they’re accurate enough to have...

    Can the .22 JSB 33.9 gr Beasts play nicer with Uragan mags?

    I'm unfamiliar with the single loaders. Is there a "flip out" to load function which doesn't require pulling out the whole magazine (thus making it a step or two simpler than using the factory mag)? I just ordered a CARM magazine that will be cheaper to attempt thinning the back plate to try...

    Just got my Uragan!

    I’m so excited to have my new Uragan in my hands! I want to give my first impressions but first give a big thank you to Tony at Talon Tunes for getting it to me! Thanks Tony, it’s everything I was hoping it would be. I got the standard (not compact, not king) with a synthetic stock in .22 and...

    Can the .22 JSB 33.9 gr Beasts play nicer with Uragan mags?

    I just got my Uragan standard in .22 and see some initially promising results shooting JSB 33.9 grain Beasts. My problem is that they are a little too long to rotate in the magazine making it impossible to do more than single load to shoot them. Has anyone else ran into this problem and...
