frustration!

"Rocky_in_TX"That is nice!
IF you don't mind, share the cost and where you find your source of Nitrogen. Do you rent the bottle? Do you buy the bottle? I'm having a hard time finding a supplier in my area and thought you might have some insight you could share in your particular set up?

Thanks.

Rocky
Yes I rent the bottle $100 per year.
Cost me roughly $141 for the first fill last July. Then $166 for the last fill this March. Nitrogen prices sure did go up in 7 months?
I live in Burgaw NC and Rent my tank from Machine Welding Supply out of Wilmington. They deliver the bottle and all I do is call them and they will be here within a week at most to change the bottle out.

"snakedoctor9"I broached the subject of getting a PCP with the wife this morning and she was remarkably ok with it. Subject to change I'm sure..... She had caught me watching YouTube videos of Ted and Campfussel a few times, so when I mentioned it, she said, "you mean one of those rat shooting guns?" I might be getting in the game sooner than I thought!

Hope you will go in it full bore like I did, will be fun to watch your progress ;-)

Nitrogen doesn't expand like air does to temperature change,. by mixing them you only contaninate your Nitro.

Have a great weekend,
T.T.

Rocky, I tend to agree. I keep my 6000 psi bottle outside and I've noticed just checking the standing pressure at the gauge varies as much as 200 psi on a cold day vs a hot day ;-)

As an alternative, you can try my ploy...my wife is now the proud owner of her own Synrod .25...if she don't shoot it, I will. ;-)

I have had the same problems with my Benjamin trail np .22. not consistent at all. I have only tried 3 different pellets so far H&N hollow point were the best but still not good. I cant seem to find any sweet spot. Im new to air guns so that may have something to do with it. after reading the comments I will buy a new sea. see if that helps. I would love a PCP mabey the FX bobcat .25... lol my wife would kill me for spending that kind of money

I have the Benjamin Trail NP XL 1100. It came with a terrible trigger. After a trigger job to shorten and lighten the pull, about 200 rounds with 13 different types of pellet to find the right one, and now mine is a straight shooter. Maybe I just got lucky and got a good one - other than the trigger. Mine shoots Crossman premier .22, 14.3gr hollow points and domes equally well.

I have oil coming out of the end of my gun. I took the stock off and all around the trigger is full of oil. whats that mean? is that one of the seals or the nitro piston?

Congratulations on the new hatsan! hope it works good for you. I don't have any way to test the fps, but I can actually see the pellet flying to the target. I never noticed it before so, yeah maybe im loosing velocity. I read on some other post about the piston bushings are notorious for going bad, they started using brass bushing instead of the plastic ones but I cant seem to find any.

Jeff, have ya got her scoped yet? We're ready or some groups ;-)
She's lookin' good!
