    FX What to do after shooting an Impact that was filled with moist air? Disassembly, drying, o-ring replacement, etc.

    It has the little cotton filter that they put on the fill line, I check it once in awhile and change it, if it looks dirty. Other than that, nope no filters. Even on the most humid and hot day it is very rare to see even one hint of moisture. The little GX only runs five or six minutes and...

    HW97K Velocity

    Sounds a tad low. However chronographs are not the end all to accuracy, they can vary a bit be it a bright sunny day or cloudy or overcast. Crossman pellets shoot slower in all my rifles. My 97 gets a bit over 16 fpe with the H and N FTT 14.66 5.54 head size. Put 300 rounds through it and...

    Hawke airmax vs element helix

    I had two Helix Elements self destruct on springers. They were quickly and happily replaced. On a PCP the Helix is a wonderful scope, very clear and precise. Easy to see crosshair and very clear glass. Much clearer than the Hawkes. Kit

    Air Arms AA Pro Sport / TX200 barrel cleaning question.

    Folks fret too much about cleaning an air rifle barrel. If and when, and IF just for because I do clean a barrel I simply use a graphite rod, some nylon cleaning brushes for a quick stir and then ballistol and about ten patches. I have several HW rifles that have not been cleaned in ten years...

    FX What to do after shooting an Impact that was filled with moist air? Disassembly, drying, o-ring replacement, etc.

    Relax. By the time this thread is over you will be recommended to install 15 filters on your bottle or compressor fill hose and provide dry air filters on the compressor intake. Grin!! Simply fill it up and shoot three fills or so and the moisture will take care of itself, it will shoot out...

    N/A First Springer Advice

    Balanced, light weight, extremely accurate to 60 yards, easy to cock and you can shoot it all day, excellent trigger and dovetail rail for a Williams Peep sight. There are two models of the Williams Peep, you want the one designed for air rifles, the PB one is to low to see properly with MOST...

    Springer with Bipod and Accuracy??

    I have had good results with bipods and shooting sticks. Thing is they can make you more accurate provided you hold them the same each time. My HW95 is a laser with my shooting sticks, however if I adopt a Field Target position the POI will change drastically. Where as shooting holding a rifle...

    350 Magnum

    Well I have owned various Diana products. Both springer and PCP. If you could put problems in a five gallon bucket it would be full. I still own a Classic 350 and a 460 magnum. I have had various problems with both of them, from broken pot metal safeties, to internal cocking shoe problems...

    N/A Sports Match

    Sometimes it will. Switching rings front to back or turning adjustment screws from port to starboard does work many times. Be aware sportsmatch makes two kinds of adjustable rings. One type only adjusts up and down, the other very expensive set adjusts both up and down and side to side. When...

    Fx trigger sear polish alternatives

    Don't is the best way. If you do use flat stones or very fine sandpaper glued to a flat surface. Dremels and such generally only ruin the surface. Or just shoot it. Time you have several thousand shots done the sear has self polished. Contact surfaces will set to each other polished or not...

    Not a good experience with Airguns of Arizona used guns. Their rating system is 👎

    Never have purchased a used rifle from AoA. No photos, no information, see ya. First rule of buying used is to be extremely suspicious that there is something wrong, this generally holds true from a company or private deal. But,. but it has never been out of the box and only been fired three...

    FX FX Crown range report

    Yep I shoot sugar cubes at 50 yards all the time with mine. I like them better than paper as they explode. Grin! I have had a lot of PCP rifles in the past 30 plus years and the Crown I purchased 7 or so years ago is the only one I have kept. My first love though is a quality springer. Much...

    FX FX Monsoon not cycling

    This is a highly technical piece of engineering. As far as I know FX does not have any repair videos on the Monsoon. However what happens is with time in the end of the forward part of the shroud is the reloading assemblies. This consists of three plastic sleeves(pipes) and a long plastic...

    FFP or SFP ?

    Chairgun as you pictured you will find in the toolbox of the program what is called the ultimate sight in range or something like that. This will give you the best sight in range for any particular rifle based on scope height and velocity and pellet weight. Very useful tool. Also if you do...

    FFP or SFP ?

    Field of view is the issue at 24X. You might not be able to find that varmint at 30 yards. More magnification, less field of view. As for FFP or SFP generally SFP is best for hunting small game in shaded woods and so on as at 6X on a FFP you will not even be able to see the crosshair unless...

    Question for 20 MOA v StrelokPro

    No not at all. Scope height over bore(at the very end of the barrel) and sight in aim point are what do matter. Kit

    Barrel wobble

    Not that it matters but the Model is not mentioned. I have fixed several of them with 5/16 brass washers. Just sandpaper them down until they fit snug and tight. As for that Torx screw it is more or less shouldered and is already bottomed out. It also has some kind of industrial thread loc...

    350 Magnum

    Very nice looking rifle. One thing for sure is that the Diana 350 is long, lean and traditional and has eye appeal. Congratulations. Looks like your room looks a lot like mine, and I think both of us need a couple more rifles. Grin!! Cheers Kit
