Over the weekend I was in two scenarios where I had a rifle on me and walked/stalked to within pistol range on some hogs. I spotted a pig running while crow hunting. I went to investigate the area looking for it and ended up crawling through a hog trail in a briar thicket. Eventually I found myself about 20 yards from a pretty big hog. By the time I got it's face in my reticle and decided what needed to be done it was at 15 yards and I was on my knee surrounded by briars. I shot it in the face from 15 yards with a 34 grain domed pellet from .25 R5M wounding it and causing it to run in the opposite direction. I was in a very vulnerable position that I was not prepared for, so my safety was on my mind. The next day I believe that I ran into the hogs again. I didn't shoot at because it was at dusk and I had not positively IDed the animals,. I was in some pine saplings, tall grass, and other undergrowth at the top of an embankment on the edge of the woods as the sunset. If a hog emerged from the brush in front of me it would have been about 5 yards. That is not enough time to positively ID and locate the animal through my scope (with limited FOV at a minimum 5x mag) in low light. Look at how the hog closed the distance in the last scenario and it didn't know I was there.

These scenarios can attest to exactly why I bought the GK1. However, I have yet to mount my red dot and I don't have a holster. I really need a holster that I can wear across my chest. I started to put it in my chest pack, but I don't trust the safety on the gun and I feel it is a risk shooting my self in a chest pack that it would move around in and possibly fall out of. In these scenarios I would've used the GK1. In the first scenario I would have tried to get at leat three shots in that hogs head if not half a magazine to try to kill it insteaed of run it off (I did shoot one braodsinde later that day). I opted not to shoot the hog between the eyes, because I didn't want to risk a ricchet off the forehead, pissing off the hog, and getting runover or mauled. The ability to get off multiple shots would have been a game changer let alone the report of an unmoderated GK1.

So again I'd like a holster that can accomodate a GK1 with the red dot reflext sight mounted forward on the dovetail rail, but can also cover the trigger with a strap that also covers the safty. I'd like the versatility of wearing the holter on my chest or hip. Do you all think this is fesible? If so where can I get such a holster? Is there anything I'm not thinking of that you all have any ideas about?

I'm trying to understand how one picks the initial FPS to tune to, particularly .22 pellets.

Is there a pickoff chart anywhere that shows the relationship between weight and best velocity?

My office is taking shape slowly but surely.

Saturday I spent some time making a gun rack for my current favourites.
This morning I re-arranged some if the shelves in the cupboard behind me to accommodate all sorts of shooting related stuff, my old bar fridge and my 3D printer.

It is small, but it is mine.

It remains a work in progress.

What would you buy?

Like traditional stocks, but also Like compact.

So far I’ve looked into the hw100, or the crown mk2 compact.

I have a right handed version of the RAW HM1000X in .22 caliber chassis. This rifle is shooting HN hp2 .217 25 grain slugs at an average of 927 fps (without adjusting the hammer spring at all). I’ve had this rifle for less than a year. I recently sent it to RAW to get the orings replaced and it’s shooting great. I am selling it because I am trying to thin out my collection.

On a side note, the OEM gauge is not accurate at all. I noted in the picture that the gun is actually filled to 250 bar but the OEM gauge is inaccurate. Just keep this in mind. I’ve had multiple RAW rifles and they have ALL been inaccurate.

I am selling her for $1050 shipped to you using PayPal FF. ConUS only. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks!

I just watched this tuning video which I found to be the best so far for tuning an FX Impact.

However, he doesn't explain how he determined the original FPS he was trying to achieve.

So how do you pick a starting FPS to tune to?

Thanks

Like new works great made a few YouTube videos with it.. psr bottom raise.. asking $1700 shipped... Comes with one mag.. right now it's shooting AEA 25gr pellets at 960 and it's a laser.. PayPal friends and family.. will take partial trade/cash for a newer Texan

I am always looking to tinker a bit with my guns. I think I heard somewhere that the best speed for an 18gr .22 pellet is 700 fps (out to 100 yds). The context for this is benchrest shooting. Still, that seems really low.??

With the Worlds Event taking place this weekend, we didn't expect a big turnout today, but we were pleasantly surprised! New friends and old friends showed up in the cold bright morning.
Maybe it was the calm weather or just we are in the lull between holidays, but it was great to have a good group of shooters to share the morning with.
The scores were pretty high- two of our top shooters thought the course was a little too easy, but we had to take advantage that Jim P. was at the Worlds and not moving the 3/8" targets out to 55 yards on the off hand range.
Hope he had a good time in Arizona cause we sure did here!

Purchase this gun used from AOA. Just getting a chance to shoot it. This group is 10 shots at 75 yards using the JSB 25.39 grain at 938 feet per second.

I installed a plenum gauge and an accurate tank gauge. One original mag and an Orion mag. I set it to shoot Hades around 915fps. It’s very accurate and no issues. I just never shoot it. Will ship it in the original boxes I received it in. Price is $800 and we will split shipping.

I have two Shin Sung 9mm rifles. Bottom is a Fire 201 and top is a Fire 202. Willing to sell one of them and will keep the one that doesn't sell first.
Both hold air indefinitely and operate as they should. Sling and cheap scope will stay with the gun I keep. I've taken the 201 out for deer but not shot one yet. I have not tried to remove the camo stickers on the 202 but expect beneath it will be normal high gloss wood that's typical on these. The rear sight on the 202 needs a little work also but the 202 does have a desirable (to me at least) feature of a threaded barrel for a moderator. I can post more pics on request. They aren't perfect but nice enough for me.
$600 pick up in SE Michigan or add $40 to ship.

Hw44, with rinks carbine stock, ratworks airtube and a 310mm barrel for a HW110, Optisan cp 3-12x32 and a ODb 110 moderator for now
16 gr AA @735fps 30 shots per fill @200 bar

What weight pellet does the FX factory use to set-up the FX Impact m4 Compact

Rare cool eclectic piece for you airgun or Browning collection.
Electric cocking, loud but no effort, spring air .177cal pellet rifle. Like New in the box (with all original paperwork) and working as it should. I have the original battery pack but it doesn't hold much of a charge. It also comes with a brand new battery pack and the charger as well.
I can text more photos on request.
$750
Pick up in SE Michigan or can ship for an additional $40
Possible partial trade for other vintage or unique airguns or rimfire rifles.

Here's a YouTube video I found on the gun.

I'm trying to understand what the point of "tuning" is?

At the top level it seems it's all about accuracy... trying to get the best groupings for a particular projectile.

So you shoot a few rounds, watch the chronograph and keep changing pressure/fps to get the best groups.

Is this what it's all about?

Thanks

OK guys here's one I can't figure out. My scope is shooting at about 7 o'clock 3 inches from bull ( at 20 yards) and my elevation is all the way up. How can I get back to a normal adjustment. I had this rifle dead zero before. I moved the adjustments about 40 clicks and have no more room to go up. It hasn't been banged or anything. I really don't know what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated

This piece that holds the poppet o-ring unscrewed after first 500 shots! It looks like I have to take the poppet out to screw it down tight with a flat head screwdriver. Should I use lock tight?

I am using a Skout Epoch in .22 cal shooting the JTS 22.07g pellets using the Lothar Walther Bull Barrel
Speed-980-985 fps
These are some of the best groups i have done at this distance







1 got away from me
very happy with the results

I posted pics a while back when I first purchased this rifle. Here it is complete and now scoped.

David Slade did the mechanical rebuild and it is making just over 6.7fpe with JSB 7.87’s. The stock has been refinished and custom machined muzzle piece installed. The SWFA 12x is mounted on Sportsmatch adjustable rings which are zeroed and the rifle is hole for hole accurate and an absolute dream to shoot! The original open sights have been set aside in favor of optics for my old eyes. Not bad for a 44 year old rifle.

Hey everyone! Looks like a nice and active community here. Glad I have found it and hope to contribute in the future.
For now I'd like some advice from the experienced members to help me set up my gun properly.
So I've purchased as the title says an FX impact M4 in 5.5mm caliber with an 800mm barrel and I intend to shoot slugs with it mainly, currently testing out ZAN 28gr and fx hybrids.
No additional FX accessories were purchased for it.

What I've noticed looking at numbers written by others and how my gun came from the factory is that that regulator pressure set at 150bar looks a bit too much?
I can't speak about accuracy just yet as the gun was not zeroed properly so far and it was mainly just shooting bottles etc, planning to do that this week if weather allows.
Bottle it came with is 580cc and it last me around 60 shots with the factory tune. Does that sound right?

Loving it for the few hours I had it so far so please let me know if there's something you think I should do straight away and ammo suggestions are also welcome!

Cheers

My shoebox compressor is pretty much the same as the rest of the Chinese budget compressors and I'm having a reoccurring issue that maybe some of you might be able to help me diagnose.
1. The pump takes a minute or two to pressurize before it starts building air. ( Hose remains unpressurized)
2. When the pump finally starts to build air it will overpressurize to the point I have to stop the compressor or it will blow a burst disc. Once I stop the compressor and restart it it settles in at the pressure of my gun and pumps fine the rest of the day.
Could this be a bad check valve? As I said once pressure starts building it works fine the rest of the day and pumps quickly.

What can you take down with a sub 12ft air rifle at close range? Up to 15 yards? There is mixed opinion and morale police everywhere saying should not shoot with a sub 12ft air rifle yet there's others who say you can do it
