Bummer deal.... what happened?

Here is a better picture.



I was shooting on low power at 30 yards today. That is PERFECT for plinking and it increases the shot count too.

"chohan"It's a stunning rifle. Was also one of two finalist when I made my own purchase. That whole kit looks great with the sumo and scope. Great choice and congrats.

Thanks chohan!

What was was your final choice? The Daystate Huntsman? If Daystate did a side lever on the HM I bet they would steal some sales from FX. I know that I may have gone that way....

"Glem.Chally"Yeah that's a beauty, lovely stock as well.
Looks like you're getting used to it quick! nice work

Thanks Glem! I am enjoying it supremely.

I had the Royale 400 but it wasn’t as accurate as this SL. It was a very fine rifle though.

Yes, the .22 Regal XL. I don't mind the bolt although the last 1/2 inch of travel for cocking takes some getting used to. Nothing to complain about as far as accuracy. My best group this morning at 50yd, no wind, fx 16gr but my consistency needs some work

I can feel a .25 wildcat compact in my future but my next purchase has to be a decent compressor.

That is some fantastic shooting there! Certainly nothing to complain about there.

How many shots are you getting on a fill?

I was testing mine today. I get the stated 60 shots (59 actually) before I see a drop in POI at 50 yards. I checked the air pressure gauge when I saw the drop and it showed 110 bar. I’m not sure where the regulator is supposed to be set at on these rifles. I shot the remaining pellets in the magazine and there was a 1” drop over those last 7 pellets. The gauge said about 96 bar after the last magazine (6 mags=66 shots). I pumped back up with my Air Force (rebranded Benjamin) pump and it took 130 strokes to fill from 96b to 230b. I still need to pull the chronograph out and clock the speed. I’m shooting JSB 15.89 grain pellets. It seems to like the 16s better at 50 than the 18s.

I drilled and added some sling studs. Mainly to use a bipod mount on it. I’m a bit bummed because I drilled the rear stud hole a little crooked. It’s not a big deal or noticeable unless you look for it but I was trying to sight it just perfect and still got it off. I’ll get over it. Ha ha!

"Bob25"Greenarrow, my pellet probe is missing, I think it fell down into the action somewhere. I could not de-cock the gun. At first i thought it went down the barrel but the more i think about it I don't think so.

Whoa! How does that happen? Sorry to hear that Bob.

Dont let it sour you on the rifle. FX should get you fixed up and running. I hope that it doesn’t take too long. Never had to send either the 400 or the SL in and hope that I never do. I did all the work on my 400 when I had it.

How long had you had the rifle before this happened?

Best of luck to you man. Let us know how it works for ya.

"flynviking"I’m so glad you’re enjoying your SL! It looks great. I’m loving your old Royale 400 as well. Hopefully we can get the two together sometime.

Thanks Rob! I’m happy that you are enjoying the 400. You are definitely able to shoot it better than I could.

I am enjoying the SL. It suits me well.

One thing I have noticed since using the 18 JSBs is an occasional pellet that gets tough to load, kind of like it’s getting hung up on the breech o-ring. It hasn’t done it with the 16s yet. Maybe it’s an occasional larger than “normal” head or skirt being loaded. These are pellets straight from the tin. I can feel it when pushing the cocking lever forward. That pellet will impact low and away from the group. Possibly a burr on the TP? Just throwing some thoughts out there. Since it’s always impacting low, I would tend to think it’s the TP possibly shaving some of the lead away and causing the flier. I wouldn’t think that the breech o-ring would deform it so much to throw the pellet so far off. I’ll get to the bottom of it! ?
