    Taipan Taipan veteran 2 cal.22 550mm ammo questions

    Hi there, I dont have a Vet II but I think just about every 22 Cal on the planet will shoot JSB 18.13g pellets into small holes. Id start there if you can but them where you live. Other than that you could try to slug your barrel and measure your grooves/lands and order some correct diameter...

    FX Maverick Sniper vs Compact - What's your choice?

    I think the Wildcat/Maverick are best in the Compact options. The unsupported barrel length of the longer versions dont sit well with me. 😵‍💫 But the Compacts make wonderful walk-around pest controllers.

    JTS JTS 25 Cal moderator?

    Personally I would buy the new version to help support the barrel and shroud alignment in hopes you will limit your risk of clipping. As far as exit diameter I would get the 30Cal version in case you dont get a perfect bore alignment.

    Benjamin Don't buy Benjamin Marauders on Amazon

    Amazon sellers have been selling returns or damaged packaging product for decades. Just about everything I have bought through Amazon has been previously used or somehow defective. The site is a rip off now, but Im not convinced it has ever been anything else. Just chalk it up to a lesson...

    FX M3 700 22

    I would lower your front reg pressure to about 140Bar, 165Bar is way too high. Also where is your front valve stop set at? If it is open too much it can cause some fps swings. Same with your hammer weight/preload settings. Too much hammer for a certain valve resistance will cause fps swings.

    PRS Rimfire vs NRL22

    Im sorry but its clear to me you just simply dont understand everything involved. You are trying to over simplify something that has a lot of moving parts, and a lot of costs. If it bothers you so much maybe you can start your own internationally recognized PAS matches. That way you can tell all...

    FX Fx maverick 30cal 700mm need help

    That doesnt explain the lack of accuracy at full bottle pressure, and accuracy returning at a lower bottle pressure. And we dont really know when the spread data was captured. If we assume the issues are caused by the change in bottle pressure the issue is almost certainly reg related. But to...

    PRS Rimfire vs NRL22

    This is going to ruffle some feathers here... But I dont think Air Rifles belong in PRS events. I think its ok to have something that is strictly made for rimfire precision competition at longer ranges. Air doesnt need to be involved in everything. Really you should be happy they allow Air at...

    FX Fx maverick 30cal 700mm need help

    FX regs dont last long when set over 150Bar. That goes for the front reg too. Without more information my first concern is your regs are not holding consistently after turning them up so high.

    Best $200 scope for a magnum springer

    Yeah the eyebox is horrendous on the 16x and 20x models. The 6x is great, obviously the 10x is the standard. I have never been behind the 12x personally, but Ive seen some promising footage on the ol youtoobs. Arken might be a good consideration too, but havent tried one on a springer myself.

    Best $200 scope for a magnum springer

    You are going to get a lot of recommendations for cheap scopes, and in many cases the poster has never actually mounted a scope to a beefer springer. I have demolished several scopes on my Gamo 33mm Gas Piston rifle in short order. At the suggestion of a few forum members that have been there...

    FX M3 1 or 2 regs which is better with slugs

    I have a 2 reg M3 and a single reg MKII. Both hold single digit extreme spreads with no discernable creep. I like both setups but I am working in the middle of the reg pressure ranges to keep them happy. If you want to run 150Bar or more on your rear reg, you dont really have a choice. Stock FX...

    FX Do I need a slug power kit?

    In my opinion the only time you would really need the slug power kit FX sells is if you are going to run super high reg pressures and heavy slugs. The tungsten hammer weight they use is way too heavy for an otherwise stock rifle. My MKII Impact is a 700mm Heavy Liner 25Cal running a Huma High...

    Air Venturi Avenge X Plenum..

    With a plenum upgrade you can usually choose between an increase in fps, or an increase in shot count. Tune accordingly, based on your preference. A lot of setups you could also find a happy medium between the two if you wanted. On my 1st Gen Avenger I decided to use the extra plenum volume to...

    FX Maverick 600 .22cal settings problems

    Yeah you are way too heavy on the hammer strike. Try a lighter weight, and maybe the factory spring. You shouldnt need any upgrades to shoot a light pellet at max speeds in a Maverick.

    FX Wildcat to wildcat bt?

    Possible yes, but quite expensive. Finding all the right parts might be tricky too since we no longer have FX USA to order from. Utah Air is supposed to be the new US rep for FX but Im not sure how many spare parts they have on hand yet. Honestly it would be better to sell the tube version and...

    N/A Avenger vs Fortitude in 177?

    Thanks, yeah I want to try a 177. I have a 22Cal Coyote and Urban already and always felt the platform would be best in a 177. I will likely swap the wood stock for the Urban stock as I think that is better for the type of shooting I do.
