So I decided to take the dive into airguns. Firearms have just become too expensive to shoot and I like the idea of back yard plinking. I have been on an ordering blitz the past couple weeks. So far I've ordered the hatsan flashpup in .25, a Bushnell nitro 6-24x50 scope (probably overkill), rolling the dice on a Yong Heng (on the way), and what few pellets I can find (predator gto). I'm starting to regret the .25 caliber because that caliber seems pretty scarce, but I have it now. But I have a few questions. I can't seem to figure out how to search for specific word combos in the search function
1st) Can low profile scope rings work with this set up? That flashpup rail is pretty high and the scope bell won't be sitting above the rail, but hang over above barrel.
2nd) Do I need a special adapter to hook up between the hatsan fill probe and the Yong heng airline? I plan to fill directly until I can find a 30-60min scba tank.
3rd) Did I make a mistake with the .25? I can still find .22 and .177 pellets. I assume the production is a lot lower for .25 but was really hoping for the extra fpe as far as a backpack gun goes for walking thru the forest for small game.
Things I still need to order: scope rings, compressor oil, oil & moisture filter. I hope that's everything to start plinking. At some point I want to add a hatsan airmax or a fx talon ss.
I appreciate the help!
