    15 FPS spread, that's better than many firearm cartridges shoot. I'll have to chrony my Akela and see what it's doing. I did find there are vids on youtube on adding a regulator to this rifle. Hate to spend even more money on what for me really is a "rat rifle". But then, tweaking and...

    Glenn in simple terms for a newbie, what would adding a regulator to my rifle do for me? Does it function like a regulator on a shop air compressor, making it deliver a set amount of PSI air regardless of how full the tank is ... thus "normalizing" the air driving the shots??

    Both are nice rifles. This is what I was hoping for ... to see what other guys have done to make them better fit their need. Nice wrap Mike. What do you two use your PCP rifles for? For me my Akela is my first PCP. I live in the country as I said, and till now I dealt with varmints and...

    Yupp ... go for optimal sight in range ... is what I did. But still have to work a hold over & under since I'm dealing with a 1/2" kill zone on the rats, or I can have a clean miss over or under their head. I found my optimal sight in distance was 25' since the barn is 50' long. That split...

    Hi Glenn, I don't know max range, since I got it specifically to use in the barn where I don't want a firearm punching holes in the wall and roof. They say the 18grain pellets are moving out about 1000 FPS, which also helps since it's not yet supersonic ... so no crack breaking the sound...

    You are right ... a red lense works great on predators. We use em on our coyote rifles after dusk. The red lense doesn't spook them like pure white light does, but still lights up their eyes. We were thinking of what type of red cover we could put on these simple hardware store spot lights...

    Oh and per the stock modification, notice I took out the finger-groove ridges on the front of the pistol grip. They didn't fit my hand and actually dug into my fingers, making them numb after sitting still for a period of time. Keeping the bottom ridge though was nice as it keeps your hand...

    Just thought I'd show what I did with my Akela. Bit of background ... I have a ranch in central Virginia with the typical mix of poultry (chickens, turkeys, guineas, ducks, geese, etc). So in my barn I have bags of feed for them. The nice sheltered conditions in the barn and the feed together...
