I have a new WH 30s. I bought it mostly for plinking. I will do some but limited target shooing - not competition. What's the longest range this rifle is still accurate? I am aware that it is one of the lowest FPS at the muzzle of all WH Springers and I am good with that. Thanks! Oh yeah, using JSB Match Diabolo EXACT .177 cal, 7.33 grain.

So yall probably all saw that prymaidair is having a 20% off code for the holiday. Usually their coupon codes are 10%-15% only. I think this was the first time I've seen a 20% off code. So what did I do? I went to their site and put a bunch of jsb pellets .22 and .25 cal. I put 12 tins in the cart and total was $210.91. I enter the 20% off code and guess what happen? It didn't work. Wtf. Then I read the fine print, Benjamin and umarex products only. Lmao. Guess I won't be ordering more ammo anytime soon. Deleted all items off cart. moral of story is, don't get too excited when you see something 20% off.

So, I purchased a beeman raider in .25 as I wanted a cheep .25 pcp to mess with. It was posted as leaking pcp on the online auctions for $100. Low and behold when it arrived I noticed the breech oring was on the bolt probe. A pellet fell out of the barrel and I knew that a pellet was jammed in the barrel. After making some caveman attempts to remove it I put my mind and tools to work.
First I removed all the air (this was done before the caveman work) from the pcp and disassembled it.
Than measured the depth of the pellet and found a suitable drill bit and placed it in my laithe. Drilled out the Pellets learning that it was more than one.
I grabbed a brass rod and used a die to thread one end and used my laithe to drive it into the pellet from the barrel inlet side.
I used a crescent wrench and a mallet to lightly tap the rod and pellet out like a slide hammer. Did this until there was no Pellets in the bore and ran a few patches until it was clean.
Now to go and remove Pellets from a 140 barrel. Now I have confidence to by used pellet guns that have Pellets stuck in the barrel. This is possible without a laithe however, I would not choose to do it without one.

After owned a few forward cocking airguns I really never think that I would have another rear cocking airgun , but even since I sold a pair of taipan longs , I had the want to try a standard size taipan, so few weeks ago a .22 standard mutant in perfect condition for the age was in the classified, at a perfect price I buy it, and send it to Motorhead tuning service, for a complete orings change and a reg rebuild since it was already in his shop so I could have a trouble free gun.. hit set it up for 18gr at 900fps and - WHAT A GUN it is , just fill point n shoot , no poi no harmonics bulls%&<$#$=×@... just pure enjoy of the money spend.... i have to had one in .25 so i just got the .25 standard with the tactical stock before they are gone for ever .. because talon tunes have the last ones in .25 .. no 22 in any configuration aviable.. of these old models .. only Air Gun Heaven still have one or two.. for the new members looking to have a accurate trouble free gun . Get some before the only choice you have is to wait until some one want to sell his .. i sold mine ones i will not do the same mistake again.

I am new to the airgun world and I am looking into benchrest and then possibly PMC/PRS. I am pulling my hair out trying to decide on a proper gun. I keep going back and forth between the FX Impact M4 and the Skout Evo. Adding in more complexity is caliber..... From what I have seen looking at NAC and RMAC, .30 cal is the popular choice, but I have also seen good results with .22. I seek the wisdom and advice of those with MUCH more experience that I have to your recommendations. I am not going to be using this for hunting, just target/competition.

I’ve been shooting a lot of slugs lately and I’ve noticed that they foul up the barrel quite a bit faster than pellets.

My quest in finding a solution has led me through barrel polishing, projectile lubing, etc.

Recently I was introduced to a barrel/projectile coating product called hBN (Hexagonal Boron Nitride). Supposedly it has some of the lowest friction on the planet and it claims to fill in the microscopic imperfections.



I took the advice of thoroughly cleaning a barrel to remove all build up/fouling and any petroleum products. Then I mixed the hBN with 99% alcohol, mopped the barrel, let it sit for 20 minutes, then pulled a few dry patches through.

Holy this is some crazy slick stuff!!!

The powder claims to be 0.5 microns, 900° heat resistance, and have super high pressure resistance. There are quite a few long-range powder burners who swear by this stuff, so why not use it on Airguns?

Some say it minimizes their extreme spread, while most say it significantly reduces build up and facilitates a quick easy cleaning.

I’ll probably end up cleaning/coating my projectiles in the same solution then polish (wipe them off) with a microfiber towel. I’ll check back in a few days to share my findings. But if anyone has used this stuff please chime in.

*update - I’m being told that’s in order for the hBN to crystallize and embed properly we should shoot a few (fire-lap) hBN coated projectiles through it after the powder has dried in the bore.

I had my Alphe Wolf on a cleaning stand on my table, I was moving gun cases and stuff around and backed around the table and my side pushed against the barrel that was sticking off the table. It pushed it right off the stand onto the floor, I turned to watch it nose dive onto my basement floor, the floor has carpet squares with rubbet backing on it. Picked up the rifle and it looked like the barrel wad now slightly bent upward.
The next morning I took it to the range and it was shooting 11+ inches high at 25 yards and 2 inches left.
Pulled off the barrel and checked it my lathe to see how bad it was. Here is before and after videos. I'm hoping it will shoot OK again.

Like new, no marks or imperfections that I can see. Bought complete rifle from AOA in July, then replaced the stock with a laminate CS800 FT stock in September. $175 shipped CONUS, PayPal F&F, please. Any questions feel free to reach out. Thanks.

I have a nice English made Webley Longbow in .22. I really like how it shoulders. It’s my favorite carbine.
However the breech seems very tight. JSB HN seem too tight. Are there other pellets with smaller diameter?
there are not a lot of people who have this gun so I don’t know if this is normal.
Thoughts and suggestions are appreciated

I had a couple sparrows get lodged in the wires and dead ivy up on the power pole yesterday. This guy decided to come and clean them up and have a snack.



I watched him rip the wings and feathers off and then swallow the bodies.

He also had the resident mockingbird as a spectator.





Here his is asking the mockingbird if he wants to be next!

AGT vixen short 177 caliber right now it has the normal front. I had Izzy with Donny FL modify a front piece for me so you could put an extra moderator on honestly it only makes a little bit of a difference. It makes it a little bit more quiet. I used to have a fat boy on the front of it. It does not include the fat boy

So, as I sift through video reviews for perhaps my next gun, I can't help but be intrigued by the number of reviews at .22. I'm wondering why 8 out of 10 reviews are for .22 models of just about every gun reviewed. I have been shooting .25 for years and its hard to venture out of my comfort zone...but I can be persuaded. One of our fellow members has assured me that there's no real difference in accuracy but still I see lots of .22. I understand that many shooting channels originate from South Africa, (SA), and the UK so they are tied to .22. Anyone care to enlighten me on the virtues of .22?

As a second part to this question....why go .30? I do understand the virtues of the heavier pellet bucking the wind in competition but is there something else? So any opinions with that caliber as well?

Thanks guys.

Hi - sorry for my noob approach to this awesome sport. The problem is that my AvengeX is suddenly very innacurate. Sometimes it groups just fine (1,5 cm/22m) and sometimes it is all over the target plate. I havent dropped the gun or the scope. The scope is level. I use a bench rest to hold the gun. I have cleaned the barrel with a pull-cord with aerosol on. Havent oiled it after. That didnt help. The gun seems tight on all screws. The scope is a Hawke and the baffle-thing in the front fits the barrel nicely. What could be wrong? Today I shot around 80 pellets without getting it to shoot in a consistent way. Looking forward to hear from you

How is everyone transferring money these days? I'm old school still on pay pal. is there better ways now?

I recently bought a new Skout EVO. Like most out there I realized there isn't a lot posted on them yet.

After my first initial shooting, sampling JTS 22.07 pellets, and the Skout/Corbin slugs, and some Altaros ATP King slugs (no tuning, just trying to use recommended starting points to see where these projectiles were), I decided I wanted to do an initial barrel deep-cleaning, followed by a thorough cleaning/polishing with JB Bore Cleaning Compound, a final polishing with JB Bore Bright, then applying hard wax before I started learning the gun's characteristics and tuning it.

I've read a little about a barrel having to lead-in after such a deep cleaning, and how accuracy needs several shots to come back around. So, I wanted to follow this process and show how it went for the Skout EVO.

I was shooting the 25" Lothar Walthar .22 barrel with the 1:15.75 twist rate, with JTS Dead Center 22.07 pellets. The pellets had been cleaned in acetone to remove oils and lead particles/flakes, then rolled around in a box lined with paper towels that had a light layer of Pledge spray wax on them.

I was told by Bill Gardner (Skout President) the speed sweet-spot for these pellets in this barrel is typically from 960-985 (he did mention Tim Swan was having some success pushing them faster, and Tim has posted videos showing this). So, I wanted to start shooting the cleaned & waxed barrel from the unseasoned state, watching what it does, and see how long before it starts to come in on the accuracy. I made adjustments to the scope turrets and the High Pressure Regulator (HPR) as I went along to get the initial tune on target and to the 960 fps start of the sweet spot to be ready to start full tuning evaluation for my gun throughout the full sweet-spot range.

The shooting was done in 5-shot groups. There were 15 groups shot on 15 small targets on two pages, each containing 12 targets. They were shot in order from Page 1 to Page 2. I covered these targets with shot strings on the FX True Ballistics Radar Chronograph.

String #1 - HPR 1530-1535 / LPR 190 / Dwell 25 / Page 1 / Target 1: 5 shots. Avg 994 fps / ES 7 fps / Std Dev 2.3 fps / BC 0.051.

String #2 - HPR 1510-1515 / LPR 190 /Dwell 25 / Page 1 / Targets 2-7: 30 shots. Avg 987 fps / ES 8 fps / Std Dev 2.1 fps / BC 0.061.

String #3 - HPR 1480-1485 / LPR 185 /Dwell 25 / Page 1 / Target 8: 5 shots. Avg 982 fps / ES 2 fps / Std Dev 0.7 fps / BC 0.063.

String #4 - HPR 1410-1415 / LPR 180 /Dwell 25 / Page 1 / Targets 9-12: 20 shots. Avg 961 fps / ES 5 fps / Std Dev 1.4 fps / BC 0.058.

String #5 - HPR 1410-1415 / LPR 180 /Dwell 25 / Page 2 / Targets 1-3: 15 shots. Avg 959 fps / ES 6 fps / Std Dev 1.7 fps / BC 0.057.

After such a thorough cleaning/polishing, it looks like it took about 40 shots for the accuracy to start coming back in. Once it did, I was pretty happy with this as my starting point for tuning/characterizing my EVO over the expected speed/accuracy sweet-spot range of 960-985 fps with the JTS 22.07 pellets. Looks very promising to me.

The one thing that stands out to me is the ease of tuning and consistency of single digit ES numbers. With my impacts, I always had to find the right spot on the curve to get the ES numbers to drop below and stay in the single digits. The EVO always seems to be single digit ES.

I also noticed the speed for a given HPR is a little higher now. Maybe the cleaning/polishing/waxing?

One last note... I was able to adjust and maintain specific HPR settings because I installed two digital gauges on the tank and HPR. These are from Outgun and are 25mm size with BSPP threads. These are the only gauges I've found (they are brand new to the market) that are 25mm, BSPP and display in BOTH Bar or PSI. So far they seem to be working great. These gauges don't read low enough to work on the LPR, but they have one coming out that is supposed to. I'll post on that LPR gauge when it arrives.

So far, I'm impressed.

Hello Everyone,
My air gun regulator increase fps while cyclender pressure decrease, for example i filled cylender at 240bars and regulator fps output 820, when cylender pressure decreased to 190bars the regulator increase fps to 836-840,
i rebuild the regulator and changed all the orings, could anyone help me how to get consistancy, gun is Artemis p15.
TIA.....

Judging by the latest posts on this and other forums, it seems that airgun interests are going in different directions. 4 or 5 years ago, all you read about was high end rifles and getting power out of them for long distance shooting. This was stimulated by the Extreme Benchrest competition. I think that we have all discovered that we have reached the wall on airgun power, and anything approaching Mach 1 is no good. Further, there has been a huge influx of newer, cheaper rifles from other parts of the world that seem to perform pretty well and are attracting new shooters and those not interested in competition. Also, it seems that stuff posted on the classifieds are not selling, even at bargain basement prices. What do y'all think about that?

For those who own and use this scope, how easy is it for you to adjust the parallax on the front of the scope. Or should I say does the Adjustable objective turn easily?

The one I have is difficult to turn to the point of hurting my hand cranking on this thing. Are they all like this, or do I have a bad one?

Thinking of contacting Hawke to ask if I can send it in. Thanks.

I recently bought a GX CS4-I. When I plug it in, the power supply fan comes on even though the water pump switch hasn't been turned on and the air pump isn't running. Is this what it's supposed to do? For most power supplies I've worked with, the cooling fan doesn't come on until the PS starts getting hot.

Other than this possible issue, the pump works great.

Trying to decide between the two. Any suggestions?
