This is my best grouping, at 30 m. I tried other speeds, the results are more less the same the std dev are less than 4 and spread less than 8 but the groupings are not better than this one. I don’t understand why I can’t get tighter groupings. Any idea ?

Thanks.

Hello Airgun Nation community,

I recently embarked on the exciting journey of airgunning and have been thoroughly enjoying every moment. As a newcomer, I find myself constantly weighing the merits of investing in higher-quality equipment versus starting with more affordable options. I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences on this topic.

From the outset, I’ve been inclined to spend more money and time learning to use the best-manufactured equipment available. My reasoning is rooted in a few key observations:

1. Quality and Reliability: In my short time in the sport, I’ve found that lower-end equipment often comes with questionable quality and reliability. Issues like inconsistent performance, frequent malfunctions, and a lack of precision can detract from the overall experience and learning process.
2. Long-term Value: While the initial cost of superior equipment can be daunting, the lasting value they provide seems to justify the investment. High-quality airguns and accessories not only perform better but also tend to have longer lifespans, reducing the need for frequent replacements or upgrades.
3. Learning Curve: Starting with better equipment can also enhance the learning experience. Precision and consistency in performance allow for a more accurate assessment of one’s skills and progress, making it easier to identify areas for improvement without second-guessing if the issue lies with the equipment.

However, I understand that everyone’s situation and preferences are different. For those who started with more affordable equipment, what were your experiences? Did you find that upgrading to higher-quality gear significantly improved your enjoyment and performance? Or did starting with budget options help you appreciate the nuances of superior equipment later on?

I’d also like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the veterans of this sport on these forums. Your wealth of knowledge and willingness to share your experiences have been incredibly valuable to newcomers like myself. Your insights and advice help shape our understanding and appreciation of airgunning, making it a more enriching and enjoyable pursuit for all.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and experiences on balancing functionality and quality in airgunning. Do you think it’s worth investing in superior equipment from the start, or is there value in beginning with functional, inexpensive options?

Thank you!

My friend Steve from AVS slugs has a wonderfully top condition Vulcan 3 in 22 cal. He would like to trade for a Vulcan 3 in 25 cal. His is a 700mm barrel and he wants the same in the 25 version. If you have one and feel you may want to move to 22. Let me know. I’m on the forum wayyyy more than he is. I’m also more than willing to vouch for the quality of his gear and his honesty. So if this trade is of interest contact me and we’ll get pics and info sent. Thanks.

Guys how important it is to store my pcp decocked???
Does it hurt the mechanism if I don’t??
thanks.

She got tired of hearing Ghost this, Ghost that and was itching to get out of the safe… All shots from 20-40 yards sending CPHPs, at those ranges its simply devastates them. I love this little gun. Yes I recorded some of the kills, now I have to get to “editing” which I don’t enjoy…

Excellent condition AccU-Tac bi pod $225 shipped to your door conus…

I have seen posts about scammers ripping off buyers, how does a seller protect against a buyer stopping payment as an example after the gun has been shipped.

Like new. Works on at least the AGT Vulcan 1-2 regulators and Uragan 1. I think I used it to set an EVOL regulator, but I don't remember for sure if it was the Huma and / or factory EVOL reg.

$105 shipped CONUS

Anyone know where to get a barrel that will fit this rifle? I want one to cut down and make a baffled shroud for the gun to bring it down in length.

Trying not to have to go the TJs liner route. I might pull the barrel and measure it, see if I can get a barrel for another platform to work on it.

Brand new MDT folding stock adapter (carbine to carbine interfaces). $120 shipped CONUS.

Up for sale is a beautiful tiapan veteran long 25 with donny adapter and donny power adjuster. I bought this gun from SCOTAY42 and he said it has a huma regulator in it (I have not opened the gun so I'm going off his word) when I bought the gun I was hoping to lower the power to 890-900 for a flat curve but unfortunately I think the regulator needs to be adjusted to really get this gun to a real smooth shot string. It actually shoots the 25 grain at 940-960 and is very accurate but not the speed I want . If your a gd tuner or have the ability to adjust this gun to your power then you will be happy. If you don't mind shooting at low pressure and getting 950 fps with 25 grain then you will be happy . At 75 yards I can hit my spinners with ease so the gun is accurate. I may trade for the right 22 pcp. If you have any questions just message me and I can explain why the reg needs to be lowered to get a huge shot string. now 875 obo shipped lower 48 paypal ff or pay fees.

This is a video on the first time I shot my Skout EPOCH at longer ranges. It did good considering it was with an 8X scope. This video also shows the new Skout Rear Rest which is awesome and explains the new TESLA moderator system. Any Skout Airguns fans out there should enjoy this video. Thanks for watching! -Nate

Looking for fellow hunters in the Palm Beach County area to get together and hunt some iguanas, if interested please reply to this post or pm me.

The first litter of groundhogs are being driven off from momma, and are roaming around looking where to dig their new burrow. Well, I put a stop to that foolishness with the FX Maverick VP .30cal shooting 50gr H&N Slug II at 930fps.

The slug went in just behind the jaw and looked like it sheared the spine off of the base of the brain stem.

As the title suggests, what’s worked for you owners? I have the bottle version with a 500mm barrel. It will have high flow probe and dual port with middle bracket to prevent tumbling. I’m thinking 21-23g stuff. Not to keen on fx hybrid slugs.

Sirs
I’m looking to buy a nice and tuned hw35e in .177

Please let me know if you have one for sale

Is backing out (counterclockwise rotation) the hammer spring on Uragan 2 lowering the hammer impact? I know it sounds silly, but iirc, Leshiy adjustments are the opposite, so wanted to confirm.

I backed mine out as much as I could to see if I can bring velocities down to subsonic levels. I don't want to mess with the regulator just yet (I use a hand pump, so it's a hassle I'm not excited about), and the heavy pellets I used (34gr JSBs) are flying out at around 1000fps, and the groupings are not the most consistent.

Bought some Zan slugs to try, 33gr, 37gr, and 45gr, and decided to see what I'm looking at with 45gr slugs. Came out the muzzle at 870fps. Gonna try for accuracy tomorrow.

If it groups well tomorrow, I'm happy with it, but I wanted to make sure I'm not cranking the power up by backing out the hammer spring screw.

Thank you.

I access web sites on a computer, and use phones to make and receive calls (yes, I am old).

I recently was able to use the guidance on AGN to change back to light backgrounds on the site as these are much easier to read (on a computer monitor, anyway).

But now with the 'upgrades' whenever I get an email forwarded via AGN, it is on a difficult to read black background. I'm on 'AGN Light' everywhere I can find - any way to fix the dark email SNAFU which makes things harder to read?

Short background: had some nutria on my property in 2009. Started a search for a cheap Daisy or Crosman to deal with them. Only other thing I knew were the 10M Olympic air rifles. I soon discovered the airgun world - so much more history than I knew!

For the nutria, I purchased a Gamo Whisper. For me, I purchased almost anything I thought was worthwhile after learning about it, eventually building a collection. Around this time, I also moved to Germany and discovered their airgun ownership was in decline. As mine was in ascension, it was a fortuitous situation the result of which was an enlarged collection which morphed into a post-WWII German LG/LP springer theme ending with some early SSP's, a very early Marauder PCP pistol, and Hammerli AR20.

Cut to: kids. Money and priorities redirected. I was able to retain the collection, though things went dusty for a decade or so.

Now with an empty nest and hobby shifts, I'm reacquainting myself with the state of affairs and industry direction, determining where to go from here. This has brought me back around to this forum.

For chronological reference, my past experience ended with the Yellow Forums, which were in full swing when I departed the hobby. I recall two things, primarily: one, learning much from the experienced folks and two, moderator Steve laying down the law for the ignorant and undisciplined. These were good times, though probably not as much for Steve.

Hope you're all well and hope to see you around via informative, educational posts.

I usually don't start off with a picture, but I didn't get a chance to take any at this match. So I thought I would put the one and only I have (which Butch took). This is a few of our hard working group doing what they do all the time to make matches go so well. Thank you Mike Massie, Michael Atkinson, Bob Benda. In the truck is Don Faulkenberry and Tony Smith. We could never get this stuff all done without you guys.

After more than a 20 year hiatus from competitive field target matches and the Airgun world, I recently decided to jump back into it. BOY HAVE THINGS CHANGED! The equipment out now is insane. I can not believe the technology that’s being put into this equipment. My first purchase was a LH FX King in .22 caliber. Looking to use it in 50 and 100 yard BR matches throughout Michigan, Indiana and Ohio. Once I get that squared away, I’ll try my hand in a couple local field target shoots. I’m very thankful for this forum and all the help I’ve received from the Airgun community. Your support and willingness to share info has been a blessing. I’d like to give a special shout out to High Pressure Pneumatics(HPP) up in Harrison Michigan. Tom and Ken are absolutely incredible ambassadors to the sport. Their knowledge of the industry and theit outstanding customer service has made this so much fun. Sorry for the rambling. Just wanted to acknowledge my appreciation for everyone who has helped.
