Hello all, I am just learning about this website and group. I need to work on my postings so that I can use all of the functions of this site. Stay safe and happy plinking.

Will it work indoors at a range of 10 yards for a .22 pellet approx 900 fps?
I read that it suggests 50 feet as the minimum range, but there are some reports on the web that say 10 yards is possible.
Any actual user experience is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

07/13/2024. Went out inspired and confident and killed a dozen rats last night from 10 to 25 yards. I missed only one of the shots I sent. But in several instances I was simply unprepared to send and as we know rats are skittish. That said, the CPHPs out of the Atomic XR simply wrecks them. All shots taken from a bipod or tripod, this little Atomic/Arken combination is almost unfair” to the rats. I did not record all my kills, as oftentimes I miss an opportunity while trying to record. I simply love bagging rats, the hits never get old…

Hi All,

New to the forum, searched through the threads, but wasn't able to find a topic that seemed to line up with my question below, so thanks in advance for any wisdom the group might be able to impart here.

I just received my first proper air air rifle an Avenger .177. Put a Vortex 4-12 50mm scope and bipod on it and have been really impressed with its precision. Stock hammer spring position, ~4200psi charge with 2000psi reg.

Shooting mostly at 50yrds in my back yard, and I find as I shoot the groups are great, roughly dime size, but they'll move as I shoot by as much as 2in, then create a new group that is dime size again, always laterally. Typically seeing this over the course of 60-80 shots in ~30min or so.

Seems as though if I let the gun sit, it'll shot back at its zero position. No environmental corelations like wind, temperature, etc.

Maybe it needs to be cleaned more frequently? Just variability from the barrel heating up?

Has anybody seen this and if so know how I best go about remeding the variability?

I just got a new Pelican iM3100 case for my gun! I also had to get a shorter suppressor to give more clearance. My gun originally had a DonnyFL Koi (second picture) and it had less than an inch clearance inside this case. It was enough clearance but I just feel more comfortable with a bit more. The Ryu is 2 inches shorter than the Koi. I really liked the way the gun looked with the Koi, but now seeing it with the Ryu on it, I feel that the shorter length suppressor looks proportioned with the rifle aesthetically.

I've been using the Plano 52" ~$45 case for a few years now. I've always wanted to get a nicer Pelican case that is shorter because the 52" length of the Plano is quite cumbersome especially when loading inside the car. What really pushed me over the edge this time though to just buy the case is when I got the Accu-Tac bipod a few months ago. This is a backyard varmint rifle and I just want to be able to pull the rifle out of its case and shoot without having to attach anything. These thicker Pelican case fits the rifle with the bipod attached.

I'll tell you though that the foam inside is a huge pain in the ass to cut. Initially, I was planning to really OCD on it and make it as clean as I could but I soon found out just how difficult it is to cut cleanly. It's ok though, at least it's still functional.

Nice cool day, a little better than yesterday. Full house today.

Wayne got his 1st 250 and Terry enjoyed shooting my Thomas & crushed Chris, Chris beat up BobS & me, Keith & Dennis still fighting in Pro, it's hard to beat JoeF. Bob shot Sportsman with his pellet rifle.

USARB: the usual suspects. Vipha & Doug tied but she beat him on X count.


USARB 25m


We are really happy for new shooter Wayne's 1st N50 250.

Doug & Vipha love this stuff

Chris (his Thomas below) beat Lou & Bob because it's his birthday.
We actually sand bagged our 1st cards so he'd have a good one .

John V likes to finish with little toys.
Note, he likes to tease us with his good .177 50 yard scores.


Thanks to all that brought goodies.
Thanks to Tim (Mac1) for helping Joe score and bringing good air.
Thank you JoeF for gifting us your facilities and more.

I bought a hand pump from Amazon about a year ago, got it all together and I've never used it. Today I was target shooting with my GK1, I had filled it up with air twice and my pump was pretty hot so I was letting it cool and I decided to try the hand pump. Pretty good workout and even with taking breaks I was able to pump up my gk1 in about 10 to 15 minutes so it's pretty cool to have for an emergency.

hello all new to the site
been doing some internet surfing and interested in getting a pcp gun
i do like the looks of the notos and the jet 2 rg

the notos looks to be good for longer range having a longer barrel
i also see more prefer regulated vs none
that is one reason id rather get a jet 2 rg vs jet 2 non reg for short range and also i like that it can be a pistol
what is your thoughts?
thanks for any info
mike

I have for sale my tried and true FX Impact MK I .30 cal tack driver. I have babied this gun and I taken excellent care of all of my stuff. I am a stickler about keeping things like new. This thing drives tack with JSB Exact 44g pellets! I have run some slugs through it as well and they do excellent. I use this Impact mainly for pests and rarely bench shoot it. I am selling the gun only here. The Hawke scope is for sale separately on here. If I haven’t sold the scope and you want it, I would give you a price with it. Everything works great on the gun. Email with any questions.

$75 flat shipping to Cont US

Asking $1100 for Impact

What is considered to be a quality post

I posted on this rifle a couple days after getting it last month. Happy with the accuracy, but I was getting two different POI. One on the bench, but after sighted in on the bench, I was hitting about 3/8 @ 4 to 5 O'clock. I spent a week trying to find with this rifle liked for a hold to shoot one POI.

Well last Tuesday I thought I had it figured out. With a firm trigger hand, pulled snug back in the shoulder, with the left hand out on the front of the forearm right where it is scalloped back on the sides of the forearm. NO MILITARY HOLD.

This is different than most of my springers like, but this rifle is different,,,, In a GOOD WAY! It not just shoots the H&N FTT @ 8.6 grains it was sighted in with on the bench @ 20 yards. But also the 7.3 grain JSB Exact RS, as well as the Air Arms 10.3 grain, all in that same minuet of Squirrel head! In the past 6 days, at random, whether shooting the fist shot or shooting 2 to 3 shots at a time, with all three of these pellets, into the same target I put up 6 days ago, this little untuned, Hw50's has amazed me.


It doesn't look that great for just one weight or kind of pellet. But when you realize how close up this picture is, a quarter shows that for 6 consecutive days with over 50 different shots, morning, noon, or evening, even before sunup, to after sundown, I'm delighted, and think most low shots in the target is where those heavy 10.3 grain AA's were shooting. Kinda looks like two separate groups were formed, and those little 7.3 grain Exacts do shoot slightly better, but almost unmeasurably.

But after about three days it was just obvious they were in one of those holes with all three pellets. All shots standing offhand from the same spot leaning against the house to simulate use in the field leaning against a tree. I only own one other rifle that will shoot more accurate in the same scenario as this, and that is using just one pellet, not three different weights and brands.


With my Point of aim being the center of the square, It's sure to get some hunting time. The thing that really surprises me, is this is the lightest most compact springer I own. As well as the only untuned gun I own. Yes it a little twang I would like to get rid of, but I'm afraid to see if it would do better, just because of how it does it from these three different extremes with pellets. From approximately 850 fps, to as slow as 620 fps, I will reshoot them all and record the outcome of each for my records later this week. But this was ballpark from my memory as tested when I first brought it home.

The other thing is out to 30 yards, hitting random walnuts in the tree, with 90%+ hit ratio, it's a proven hunter. Maybe partly because it is now getting broken in. As I don't really know how many shots it had thru it when I bought it from a member here. But I think he said around 100 shots when I picked it up. Even being able to shoot same poi with its first shot every time I pick it up, makes it my highly tuned R10, my most reliable when it comes to pick em up and make that shot count no mater how long they've been unused.

But after a couple weeks, I am now so happy with this smallest, lightest, least powerful springer in my collection, I now have it's little brother on the way. Only the second one in my collection I have purchased brand new, the HW30s! I could not be happier, this gun joins the R10, HW77K and the Diana 54 that will never go anywhere! Hopefully the 30s will make it 5 that I call definite KEEPERS.

TheR9 was shooting great until the spring broke so I ordered a new Vortex kit but I need a new cocking shoe. I have waited since Dec.5, 2023 for a cocking shoe to arrive and have now given up. Therefore, I am selling my R9 as is, complete with a new Vortex full power kit and new piston seal. The stock has some minor damage as shown in photos, metal work is very good. Asking $250 shipped. Will accept a personal check (with the correct shipping address on it), Zelle, or USPS money order.

Hi everyone
This question remains to be answered.
I like the looks of both.
Length is the same.Drs slightly more shoots per fill.
Accuracy was flawless from all the Fx's i owned and also reliability for me.
The price is also better for Drs.
But am looking at Revere for a long time now.
I don't have any experiences with Daystate but had not so pleasant one with it's sister firm Brocock.
Regards Marko

hi folks,

I hope you all are doing well. Just ordered my first ever air gun. Excited to say the least! I grabbed the regulated version of the Benjamin Marauder.

Now I am shopping around for ammo.

A tin of slugs sounds like something fun I'd like to mess around with. On PyramidAir website, when I filter to .22 cal slugs, it shows me options like .218.

I know this is a dumb question probably, but can I use .218 slugs in a .22 rifle? it's such a negligible difference that I'd like to think it doesn't matter, but another part of my brain is scratching saying I should ask the pros first to make sure.

What do you guys think?

Thanks!

EDIT:

Thank you all for your replies! I'm glad I came here to ask. I'll take your collective advice and avoid slogs for the foreseeable future, at least until I feel like gun is basically an extension of myself, and I feel like I can experiment with other playful ideas like slugs without messing up any first impressions.

I may post back here on this forum maybe later today or tomorrow, with a potential first "cart" of pellets from Pyramid, and see what you guys think.

Thanks again!
