    N/A Accuracy improvements

    Make sure your air valve closes before the projectile leaves the barrel.

    What did you do airgun related today.

    Machined a spanner wrench to take the valve off my FX bottle. Worked real well.

    FX Impact mk2 upgraded powerblock and tensioned slug barell

    You definitely need the tensioner on the 800mm barrel in .35 Cal. especially if you are going to increase the power. The Power Block will buy you a little bit, but its gain can be made up with a higher reg pressure unless you are going for a very high velocity then the PB would pay off. I have...

    .217 or .218, what's your experience?

    On my Impact 700mm barrel the 0.216"s were not as accurate as the 0.217's (both NSA 24.8 gr). The 0.217's pushed through the barrel with about the right resistance and had MOA accuracy at 100 yds. I didn't even try pushing through a 0.218" because it would have been too tight. As bigHUN said...

    N/A Let's divide PCP world..... For our benefit.

    Longer distances are challenging but doable. One of my groups on the picture below could be improved vertically by weighing and lubing my slugs which I didn't do for this group. I did install a huma regulator since then to minimize the pressure variations from shot-to-shot to help the vertical...

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

    I have found that fiddling with turret adjustments while hunting does not work out very well. Many times I have had just seconds to get on a target and pull the trigger. Also when hunting certain critters like coyotes you don't want to be moving around adjusting stuff. A Christmas tree reticle...

    Tuning Sub half MOA air rifle

    The "reality" of my only point was: "It takes the right gun with the right shooter." Whether an air gun or powder burner.

    Tuning Sub half MOA air rifle

    Yup. It's amazing what they do with powder burners now days. The picture below is the world record 600 yard group shot with a 6mm Dasher. I own a custom 6mm Dasher that can shoot a single ragged hole at 100 yds, but I could not even come close to what Wagner shot. It takes the right gun with the...

    Almost Stepped on Him

    Was walking back from my target that was out 125 yds. Between the time I went out and walked back, this critter slithered on to the path where I was walking and I almost stepped on him. He rattled and hissed at me. I left my air rifle on the shooting bench so I was forced to pull out my...

    I need you expert opinions

    In that price range the Yong Heng in my opinion is the way to go. I bought one about three years ago and I used it every week since then to fill both my guns and top off my 3L and 6L fill bottles. I bought a spare Yong Heng, but I can't get the original one to die. It's like the Energizer Bunny...

    N/A barrel bands,, yah or nay

    I normally don't use barrel bands but had no choice on my 800mm .35 Cal Barrel because a tensioner was not enough to eliminate barrel whip. I did not get acceptable accuracy until I put the barrel band on it. None of my smaller calibers needed one; a tensioner was sufficient.

    FX FX Impact Slug Alterations

    I own four MKII's. I don't shoot pellet at all. I've never had a problem getting slugs to work on the Impacts. It does take a little time and a little understanding on how the gun works, but you should be able to accomplish what you are seeking with a stock MKII or MKIII. The only time you need...

    Power block or not?

    For the MKII you get the power block and 720 Plenum as a set in the upgrade kit at Utah Airguns.

    What's with the Slug Speed fetish lately?

    Mongoose........what?...........you have broken out of the matrix (hah! hah!). Back in CC's box you go. Seriously, I also use my guns for the same purpose and have experienced the same thing. I really notice the impact difference with the extra 100-150 fps. I run all my guns at 1070-1120 fps...

    Other Progress with the .35 Cal. FX 800mm Barrel

    After receiving my .35 Impact MKII, I soon discovered that the stock liner in .35 does not shoot slugs well at all, regardless of the brand/size of slug. I could also flex the stock barrel/shroud very easily and suspected that it might be an issue also. So, I ordered 2 heavy liners for it, which...
