    Cashier's Check

    I sold a boat once and two fellows came to pick it up. They paid cash. Now those two fellows looked honest enough but now they new I had significant cash on hand so I didn't take my gun off until much later.

    Canting, shooters, shooting methods, and points of view

    Cant error is a matter of repeatedly mounting the rifle in a consistent fashion and in a very repeatable way. I have built scope rails as much a 10 degrees off for experienced shooters who have measured their hold cant angle. The cant error is then attributed to the shooter not holding...

    Tuning Slow regulator recovery on Maverick

    Shot these at 100 yards with a higher hammer setting using much more air and the ES was 10.4 but accuracy still looks good

    Tuning Slow regulator recovery on Maverick

    B, when you go down to 80 bar you will have to adjust your hammer spring using an Allen wrench through the adjusting hole before the wheel will work correctly at that setting.

    Tuning Slow regulator recovery on Maverick

    If I shoot at 10 to 12 second interval, using 18.1 gr pellets, from shot to shot the groups are good (at 30 yards .06 to .178 CTC) with an ES of 3 to 5. I shoot 25.39 gr at 50 yards with good result but with a much heavier hammer hit. If I shoot the 18.1s and shoot fast, like for a good wind...

    Tuning Slow regulator recovery on Maverick

    It can be an ES of 10 fps of a little less if I watch the regulator and shoot. If I shoot too fast is can vary widely.

    Tuning Slow regulator recovery on Maverick

    Thanks, TMH. You got me thinking and I am certain now that the set up I have sips so little air per shot that the pressure differential at the regulator is so small it cannot push the plunger in significantly and it basically just bleeds a very small amount of air very slowly until the valve...

    Tuning Slow regulator recovery on Maverick

    I have a .22 cal Maverick set up to shoot 18.1 pellets at 890 to 900. This issues is the regulator replenishes the plenum very slowly. I have installed Wika gauges to better monitor the issue. FX said it was a bad plunger in the second regulator so I had it replaced. The first regulator is set...

    Tuning Help needed for FX Maverick and Extreme Spread

    I have the Maverick Sniper in .22 caliber and found a condition much like yours. FX originally said the plunger in the regulator need replaced, which I had done by the dealer, but I still had the same issue. I found the replenishment of the plenum was slow so I started timing my shots. At 12...

    FX VERSUS CALDWELL CHORNY

    I shot 36 rounds over a sky screen chronograph (chrony) simultaneously with an FX radar unit and graphed the result. The FX followed the sky screen shot for shot but was 10 feet per second faster. I had paired the chrony with a second chrony previously and they read the same.

    Side shot with I phone 12

    Has anyone successfully used an i phone 12 having two lenses with a side shot mount. I'm thinking of putting one on an Element Helix 6 X 24?

    New Maverick Owner - Please help me out with a few issues! :(

    I think the only reason I would take the barrel out was to see if it was bent. Red dots don't characteristically have a lot of MOA adjustment to them and if you can set your Tasco scope on it's optical center to try it might give you a correlation on just how much the POI is off. I have had...

    My first chrono?

    I put the FX radar unit on mine and shot it simultaneously over my sky screen chronograph. I made a graph of both readings for 27 shots and found the FX unit followed the shot string of the sky screen shot for shot but read 10 FPS faster. I just keep that in mine when tuning but let the target...

    New Maverick Owner - Please help me out with a few issues! :(

    Doom, I feel your pain. I have a stock Maverick Sniper in .22 cal and I shoot the 20.2 grain slugs at 100 bar and my hammer adjustment is not nearly all the way out. i tuned the rifle to shoot 18.1 grain pellets on number one on the power wheel at approximately 880 and it just worked out that...

    can not ship with a picture

    I find it best not to show any sign of anything that could be inside because they might steal it. Sometimes just the address gives it away.

    What rings are you using on your FX Maverick?

    I use the Eagle Claw no limit rings which are very robust but heavy. They have worked well holding zero. I put a Donnyfl Sumo moderator on my Maverick .22 so I anticipated some barrel droop.
