    Benjamin I have a Benjamin Kratos .25 cal block....

    Lol! Yessir, it’s the same rig! Played musical scopes with a couple high end powder burners, but I got itchy getting on to the next thing kinda quick. This .177 Kratos did whack a starling at 94or 96 yards though on a super lucky shot.

    Benjamin I have a Benjamin Kratos .25 cal block....

    I had tried getting ahold of a few folks about a year and a half ago regarding the bbl swap, then traded the optic I had on the airgun and kinda dropped the ball on the whole deal. Appreciate the info guys!

    Benjamin I have a Benjamin Kratos .25 cal block....

    Tagging in. Hope it’s not out of line to OP, but I’d like a source for a new bbl for my kratos. Prefer a .22cal (it’s currently wearing a .177 cal that was swapped with another Benjamin) also, does anyone make a regulator ?

    This counts, right??!!

    Only bad thing about this whole pcp thing is, now I “need” a crown… lol!

    This counts, right??!!

    I’m liking it! Had to modify the mags a bit to clear the bottom of the optic, gonna drill another hole in the front pic rail so my bipod locks up a bit more solidly. But it seems to enjoy those HN barracuda match pills you recommended for longer stuff but the cheapo crossman hollow points are...

    This counts, right??!!

    Totally would’ve been me on this shot by the way.

    This counts, right??!!

    Oh- and by the way- there’s a telephone pole in the left of side of the pic that’s 93 yards away. That’s where my first kill (with this rifle) happened on a starling a couple weeks ago. - Still haven’t even come close to making that a repeatable shot. Benjamin Kratos converted to .177…

    This counts, right??!!

    Oh… I’ll harden back up when the time comes! And when that time comes, there will be blood! Lol! I still need justification, but I’m also looking closely for it… still haven’t named any of the critters out here, but if they mind their own business and add a little entertainment, they’re pretty...

    This counts, right??!!

    Well…. I just couldn’t….I was working in my shop this afternoon and setting up a little target practice out the front door and this little cherry thief was staring at me through the window. Guess I’m getting soft, but starlings and crows are the ones I pull the trigger on, well- til I see the...

    Does anyone stalk organic markets looking for permissions?

    I think it’s a good idea. Where I’m at, getting permission to hunt big game on private land/farms is mostly a losing proposition for the newcomers to the area, but pests??!! -With nearly silent and really unintimidating “tools”, I’d think as long as you have a basic fundamental knowledge of how...

    Powderburners turned Airgunners?!

    Count me in on the topic… lifelong powder burner. Got bit by the long range bug - well… since I can remember… the rabbit holes of chasing simplicity and performance don’t tend to line up and before long, I was spending sooo much time and money in simple brass preparation on my rifles, that I’d...

    Air tank

    Looking for a larger sized air tank with lots of life (time) left. Let me know whatcha got laying around. Thanks Added to initial listing: I don’t do any of the electronic forms of payment, (cancelled them all when they started frowning on firearm industry stuff) so I’ve been doing trades and...

    Lets see those Hand pump set ups.

    I THINK it comes with one. Is that what the little red thingy is on the connection end?

    Lets see those Hand pump set ups.

    So, if y’all don’t mind, I have a newb question… I just ordered the $58 hand pump off Amazon to get the ball rolling on this rabbit hole that is pcp. It comes with the o- ring kit etc… is there anything else I need to pick up to use the setup?

    How to determine bc of pellets?

    Title kinda says it, but how do you determine the BC of a pellet? Also what drag model is typically used? G1-G7 something else? Newb here, but in the powder burning world, I’ve started by using manufacturers’ data, then chronographing muzzle velocities and observing bullet drops and tuning my...
