That one seems pretty accurate.Absolutely nailing little, nickle sized targets at 32 yards with ease:
Why 600 and not retail though?

I regret posting my group photos because I actually wasn't on a good rest, or trying like it mattered, and even if I had been, I don't shoot groups that well anyway. A really good bench shooter could do much better. The magazines do need work, that's probably why they are coming out with metal ones. You hold it in your hands, and shoot it, you like it. I do.Well everyone who reviews says there are accuracy issues. mags thin and have to plug? most of the pics of groups are VERY ....shotgun-ish! i hope the production models are improved. ill be waiting a year or 2 personally till i see some 1/2." groups regularly at 50 yds.
The gun itself looks promising I was considering it but I gravitated toward the even less expensive Stoeger scout. No accuracy issues. Dead solid rifle with an outstanding feel and precise operation.I regret posting my group photos because I actually wasn't on a good rest, or trying like it mattered, and even if I had been, I don't shoot groups that well anyway.

Any reply back from Macavity yet on the mags?I have already emailed Macavity and explained the problem. I am only using the remaining 2 magazines to limit the chances of damage to the rifle.
Not yet. But really not expected until tomorrow. Sent on Saturday and they are in California and really not in full operation yet from looks of website.Any reply back from Macavity yet on the mags?
Yes, Id give them a few days.Not yet. But really not expected until tomorrow. Sent on Saturday and they are in California and really not in full operation yet from looks of website.
just wish I had a DB meter to see what the real difference is in the sound since my perception says it is quite a bit.Yes, Id give them a few days.
Your new moderator looks right at home.
Nice job!

went ahead and bought one on Amazon. I hope it works with an airgun. If it does I should have some numbers by the end of the weekI purchased a inexpensive one years ago and it works great for that exact purpose.
I really like the design of the factory moderator coming back over the shroud, this makes it way stronger if it gets knocked against a tree branch or something. If I had a 3d printer I would just make a core. Macavity is doing a core for the production model and if it is a legitimate attempt I will get theirs.Nice day to play outside till the rain starts so I took my Genesis .25 out to play. I also 3D printed a new moderator for it to see if I could, and yes, it made a big difference in the sound of the Genesis. Started with full 3500 and ended with 2200 in tank so approximately 50 shots on a full tank. 80 feet to fence. Using bag to stabilize rifle. After 1 mag to zero in scope shot 8, 5 shot groups in what I think is very respectable groupings. Was using Hammer's 3-9x40AO. First time with that scope on rifle. Bought it used on eBay.View attachment 464074View attachment 464075View attachment 464076View attachment 464077
I also like their design. I printed several different baffle types that fit snuggly in the factory moderator. They do reduce the sound quite a bit, though not as completely as the fully printed one. I will purchase one that Macavity designs and offers as soon as it is available most likely. I should have an inexpensive DB meter here in the next day and will try to test a little more accurately.

New to all of this so I will try to follow the rules as I need the help from the forum to understand things.You won't be able to post the moderator modifications you came up with as the forum has taken a strong stance against moderator design to try and stay out of the alphabet organization's interests.
