Got a 250 bar carbon bottle for my VP .30 cal. and did a little plinking today!
80 yards with a 7mph cross wind...full mag 13 shot groups off the hood...top group is 5 shots at the hole in the target...regs at 165/140 bar and shooting the FX 44.8s at 895fps! Thing is a hammer!!!⚒

Still waiting for mine ordered and paid for the first week in December it may possibly arrive either February or possibly March. I’m not that fussed as I have a sexy Impact Compact to keep me going well sort of as we are in lockdown.

I have a problem with my Maverick that the pellet probe is too small of a Dia. The Maverick that I have is a .22 Cal and from day one it had air blow by around the pellet probe. My probe dia. is 5.34mm. I can drop the probe into the barrel and it falls to the tapered part of the probe with out touching the O-ring. This happens in both my 500mm and 700mm barrel. Just to check on what it should be for a dia. I checked the dia. of my Impact MKII probe and it measured 5.54mm. FX is looking in to getting me a larger probe but this can be manufacturing mistake. I would advise anyone who owns the .22 Cal. to check their dia. This is leaving me with a bad shot string so I knew something was wrong. That is the only thing that I could find that was a problem so far.
Thanks Mike

Anyone have any insight on Scope Rings...I'm running the UTG PRO 30mm High Profile P.O.I Picatinny Rings and every shot is low and I don't have any more room to adjust the turret up anymore. .25 cal is pushing the JSB 25.39gr at 1050, the 29.5gr NSA slugs at 965 and the JSB 33.95gr at 945.

You need to get adjustable mounts, bunch of topics about it in scope section , I'm using Burris XTR

I get 52 shots.. but I put a 580cc tank on my vp
Does the 580cc bottle fit without interfering with a moderator/pass the end of the shroud on the VP?
Thanks for the insight. Nice shot string!

Holy crap. That’s consistent.

Mine is shooting well after the first couple of shots. They seem to be a lower velocity.
Could this be the same "stiction" problem the Impacts have?

After dealing with all of the loose fasteners and a couple of broken parts (as result of loose fasteners). It is shooting very well.
1st reg at 160 bar, 2nd reg at 110 bar. Averaging 900 FPS, SD of 2.86, extreme spread of 10 FPS.
.30 Cal, 44.8
