Hello everybody

By mistake, I order E9800-X Chrono from eBay. After I realize is for BB. Can I use it to measure 0.177cal pellets speed? or will it be better if I buy a new one (like Chrony GAMA)?



SPA Artemis M16

The chrony should measure whatever flies over it. Should measure the pellet speed just fine. Try it out.

Here is my P16

Have you had a chance to shoot your gun yet ? are you hand pumping ? How does it shoot ? I am ready to buy my first PCP and am having troubles with figuring out which guns are more reliable than others and which ones are the type to need fiddling with all the time . I want a gun that I can adjust FPS and then take out to enjoy without a headache each time I touch it .

darrel5 get the FX dreamline classic.it will fit your needs very well.it will shoot very good out of the box and you will not need to tune it just shoot it.they are also very easy to adjust fps...

@ohio_hunter I agree with you, but the price? Not everyone can afford PCP around 1000 USD. for the price M16 is good. I

@DarrellS - shoot around 35 yards 13 times (one load) and both pellets hit the target. (JSB EXACT HEAVY DIABOLO). Unfortunately, I can't check the groups yet. I hand pumping the gun and one fill enough for 50-52 shots

I have considered the dreamline but here lately I can't help but look at the used Taipans , Crickets , and Vulcan's . I only want one gun and there are some really nice used ones for sale .

the price is up there for sure,i sold a tuned Sumatra 2500 25 cal carbine a 25 AT44-s QE a couple of scopes and a few other items to get it...it was well worth it...

Gamo urban is very accurate lightweight and overall fantastic gun. It comes with a balanced valve. Best magazine on any gun under 1000 bucks. Really you can't go wrong. However I wouldn't require your gun to have a srv or a balanced valve. A marauder is a fine rifle for a beginner. Airtanksforsale installs a free hammer debounce device on all marauders bought in his store. It adds shot count and makes the shot curve 50 percent better. Goodluck.

Agree with Raden1942. Gamo Urban has a very high quality build. Ready to shoot accurately out of the box. Adjustable as well, for when you get more familiar with the sport. Excellent features for an amazingly low price -- around 300 usd new. (Gamo is the leading European air gun manufacturer, guess they can benefit from economies of scale):

- a BSA cold hammered barrel. Made in England. These are some of the most accurate&best.

- silenced.

- flat shot string helping accuracy.

- excellent two-stage trigger. It comes heavy out of the box for safety reasons, but the 2nd stage can be made light. Look at the fora.

- light to carry. Great thumbhole stock. I use it for hunting.

- powerful (easy to tune up or down with the hammer spring adjuster), good shot count & easy to hand pump.

- not pellet fussy, contrary to many pcps. Try the Gamo Hunters, or the Crossman Premiers. And the JSB suite of course.

- easy to use magazine. High quality bolt action.

You could definitely do much worse than getting this PCP. Check out the user reviews at Pyramydair. I believe Hardairmagazine has a review as well. Good luck!

That M16 is a clean looking rifle.

AoA has a used .25 Skyhawk and a Brocock specialist both under 500.
