What if!
Airgun barrels were truly standardized to inside diameter(i.e., 5.52 for .22) aaand...
Pellets were made sabot style so standardized barrels could seal better aaand....
Eliminate pellets moving down that barrel inconsistently.
I mean, they do it with rifled shotgun barrels....
Just wondering. Is that over-engineered? Am I musing on something that does not need solved? Would that make things too costly?

Cannot help myself. I am wired to ask questions about stuff like this....

I decided to stretch out my EVOL Mini today to 127 yards since it was a relatively calm day. This is my first time trying it out at this distance. Some of the gear used was a Arken EPL4 6-24x50, JTS Dead Center 18gr pellets unsorted, Caldwell Turret resting on top of a wobbly folding table. I'm pretty pleased with the results upper half of target I was trying to find my aim point. The 12 shot grouping on lower half of paper 3 of the shots went in the same hole!

My daughter was cataloging all the old family photos and I saw this one which I had totally forgot about.

Taken in 1970 or 71 while my Dad was stationed in Germany.

The one on the left is my first airgun which is a Daisy Field Master BB gun which my best friend Clay is holding. I was around 8-9 years old when I got it for my birthday so its a few years old by then.
The other I got when in Germany and is a Diana M27. I must have gotten the M27 shortly before the photo.

I looked pretty happy, lol!

The big wigs in suits knew what they were getting into when they bought out a brand named BroCock. I will not let some marketing department weenie try to church it up by calling it BRK. You bought it, you knew about the snickers and jokes, and now you need to own it. Do not insult us by trying to pull a fast one on the name, as if people will just forget. I won't have it!

You. Are. BroCock!!

Took a short trip NW last weekend to pop some prairie dogs. Used my MKII .25 impact with Nielsen 29gr slugs, and .22 MKIII Wildcat Sniper shooting Nielsen 20.2gr slugs. Shots between 35-120yrds.

Does anyone know who shot the ghost at rmac?

Just got my .30 cal BRK Ghost in and wow what a piece of craftsmanship. Big thanks to Derrick Wall (zx10wall) for getting her all ready before shipment with the trigger job (changing the spring, calibrating the settings, testing it). He then tuned the gun for my ammo of choice which is the 56 grain Zan pellets, and he even did a 30 yard and 50 yard testing for accuracy, and sent me the actual target papers that were shot and a full printout of the chrono readings. After all that, he installed a 700cc tank, and did all the tests all over again. Now that's how you send a gun to a customer.
Also wanna thank franklink and pesty3782 for advising me on what to do and who I needed to hook up with. Thanks guys.

Now how do I feel?......absolutely impressed! The first thing you notice with this gun is the engineering. So much high end machining and metal for an airgun???.....I asked myself why take it this far?.... but after I started to shoot it I realized the answer.... and that is to give you the upmost confidence that this gun will never change on you, never go moody, never do something strange that you can't figure out, never have the dreaded POI shifting, and always be what you need when you need it. That's how you feel when you hold it. It feels like a $2,000 gun. It feels like it will never let you down.

How does it shoot?......amazing. Wherever I put my crosshairs, I could have confidence it was going right there. Did a 1/3 inch group at 50 yards and thought I was special, lol (I'm not, it's the gun). I'm tuned to shoot 56 grain Zans at 875fps. My moderator is making that 885fps, but it's hole in hole at that speed too, so I'm not gonna drop the wheel down. My reg is around 150 bar, power wheel at 18, and pumping out 98 foot pounds of energy very comfortably. The gun doesn't feel tense or strained at all. So I can tell for sure she's capable of 110 foot pounds easy, but I don't need that much power, as I only want to shoot the Zans.

I did some testing with several moderators such as 0DB, Donny, and some others. Surprising as the best accuracy came from the small moderators such as the Tatsu and 110c. And they are very quiet as well (for me). I was very shocked at 100 foot pounds of air energy being suppressed so much by small mods. And both look equally good to me so it's hard to pick which one I'll run. I'll put both pics down below at bottom of this post.

Speaking of tanks, I have a 700cc bottle and as you can tell from the pics below the "fattest" moderator you can do is the size of the Tatsu. Of course you can go as long as you want, but width will be your limiting factor (unless you can create an adapter extension on the muzzle). Actually I like the look of the Tatsu over the 0DB, so I'm glad it shot better (I'll put both pics up). I think it has something to do with that fatness kind of matching the bottle a little better for overall design flow.
At near 100 foot pounds of energy, I'm getting 50-60 shots a fill. That's pretty great...because you have to remember I'm turning the power up for much bigger pellets. Most people are gonna shoot the 44's at 75 foot pounds, so that would be a ton of shots for me if I did that, lol. I wouldn't be surprised if it was near double, haha.

Scope I'm using the Athlon Midas Tac HD and boy did I pick right on that one. Good glass, good weight, and exceptional turret control.
I bought the Midwestern Elite High Capacity mag and I love it!. Fill 2 of these up (44 shots in .30 cal), and I'm ready to shoot the entire tank. The lower cals get more shots per mag btw.
So many people told me not to skimp on the bipod, and I'm so glad I didn't. The AccuTac bipod is niiiiiccceee. I just couldn't see how a $300 bipod could be worth that price.... yep, I was wrong, lol. It even made my wife eyes buck when she played with it. (Yeah I could word that better, but I won't, lol).

I love the way the gun feels when I shoot off hand. The weight is from the middle to rear which allows me to hold the gun easily with the extended arm. This is why i love bullpups so much. I do understand some people saying it's a little heavy, but I get why....the tradeoff in the quality of build is worth the extra pound over its competitors.
The trigger squeezes so nice and easy. Derrick has it set at an 8oz second stage and the gun does not have much recoil, so you feel real good about not "throwing the shot". Overall I'm impressed with the way it shoots and handles in my hands and on the bench.

The only gripe I have about anything is BRK sending that female fill connect that I can't use, lol. I got ready to fill my gun back up and couldn't, and boy was I sitting there looking like a big dummy. It never dawned on me to check to see if I had what I needed to fill the gun, lol. So should this be a gripe, or is this just my fault? Lol, I don't know, but I bought an Air Venturi adapter and hopefully that'll get me back going (I'll post both pics right below this paragraph)...


^^^^This is the connect it came with. I have nothing to hook that up with to my compressors, lol.



^^^^This is what I'm hoping with fix that problem. Should be in tomorrow.


Well back to the gun..... here are the pics I mentioned with two moderators showing the difference in looks with the 700cc bottle.





All in all I think she looks great. The 700cc bottle is not instrusive to the look at all on the HP models. It actually looks clean to me especially in person.

This is a solid gun. You will not go wrong here. This is one of those guns that may not be for everyone, but no one will say you made the wrong decision in buying it. And that's saying something.

whatever is you preference .

Thank you

This rifle is in excellent condition and is currently tuned for 10.3 grain pellets shooting at 885 fps. It’s is very accurate at that tune and is fun to shoot. Quiet with the stock moderator as well.

I had it tuned shooting around 12 FPE and it’s very accurate at low power as well.

Comes with a Hogue adjustable AR stock. My collection has become too big, and I need to downsize.

$950 shipped (paypal) No Trades.

After studying for months, and after some very positive comments by Scott Schneider @ Motorhead, I decided to add a .25 Skout Epoch to my collection. Other than a few videos, mostly by the manufacturer, there really isn't much information online, so I thought I would let you know "my take" after an extensive set-up and tuning experience.

First, the purchase experience. Over the last few months, I have placed a few orders for airgun ammunition from The Pellet Shop, with nothing but total satisfaction experienced on my end. They were advertising the .25 as available in the 35" barrel configuration, which was my preference, at no additional cost. After trading a few missed calls from each other, Ben and I finally connected. He answered my questions, we agreed that the rifle would be tuned to shoot the JSB King Heavy MKIIs between 910 fps and 920 fps, and I gave him payment information. Within a very reasonable time period, and with several update e-mails coming through during the process, the rifle arrived, perfectly packed, and included a T-shirt and his trademark package of oreo cookies.

I unboxed the rifle and mounted a spare Vortex Diamondback 6-24x50 FFP on top of Eagle Vision adjustable rings. As I set the rifle up, I was very impressed with the finish detail in every regard. There are more adjustments than anyone could ever want, and more information available to the shooter than on any other rifle I own (with 30+ in the vault). The foster fitting fill port is very easy to get to. The magazine is by far the most robust, best designed magazine I have experienced to date, and holding 25 shots in .25 caliber, should meet anyone's requirements.

After placing the rifle on a V-sandbag on top of the indoor range shooting bench, I proceeded to sight it in at 18 yards. The Labradar unit placed the velocity at 914 FPS, exactly as I had requested it to come from Ben at the Pellet Shop. The trigger arrived extremely light to the touch with a very clean break. I have not adjusted it to this point, simply worked to get used to it. I am learning to like it a lot. The rifle also arrived with the rifle set-up in the "match" mode of the three available electronic modes. It works perfectly. I also like the electronic safety, where it is positioned, and the manner in which it lights up when in the firing mode. The moderator seems to be perfectly adequate to me in terms of noise reduction at the report. I have not gotten my decibel meter out yet, but it seems to be in line with all of my other rifles that have various makes of well known moderators in use.

Unfortunately, for such a short indoor distance, the first ten shot test groups were totally unsatisfactory to me. They were running between .60" and .80" in diameter. All of the other "premium" tuned FX, RAW, Daystate, Kalibregun, AA, BSA, Brocock, Weihrauch rifles in my vault will shoot an 18 yard indoor range 10 shot group of .05" to .40." To say I was disappointed was an understatement. It came with the "standard" zero barrel liner installed.

I checked my Raw, Daystate, and FX data for the velocity of those rifles with the same weight pellet. They were all shooting between 880 and 890 fps. I adjusted the Epoch to an average of 884, and the groups diminished in size to about .5", better but still not great. Next, thinking that the pellets were probably to loose in the bore, I installed the "-1" barrel liner - a piece of cake to perform the swap. By the way, Skout has posted an entire series of terrific technical videos that really help one get acquainted with the rifle from the start. To my disappointment, with this liner in place, the groups opened back up again. I was really sick at this point, thinking I had spent $3K for rifle that just wasn't going to perform. I called it quits that evening and went to bed, thinking about the issues most of the night.

The next afternoon after work, I went back to the work shop and switched out the -1 liner for the +1 liner. Amazingly, the groups dropped to an average of .30" with one group coming in at only .10" c-t-c for 10 shots. I was finally getting somewhere. This does confirm the ability of this rifle to be specifically tuned to individual ammunition requirements. Previously, one would have to find different ammunition that works or be out of luck.

Some of you may wonder why I set-up at only 18 yards. I find that if a rifle won't shoot at close range, it won't shoot at long range. Additionally, having the indoor range takes out a number of variables including wind, light, etc. Finally, I can work on set-up at any time, day or night, in constant conditions. And it really doesn't matter what the close zero is, as long as your far zero and every point in between are perfectly noted in the dope chart.

Next, I ordered a UTG over the bore bipod to attach to the M-lok rails and a Vortex Bubble Level. They came in and were installed by the weekend, and I moved to the outdoor range. My max outdoor range at home is 86 yards. I was getting solid 8 shot core groups out of the total 10 shots at 86yards, but always experiencing one or two flyers out to 1" to 1 1/2" I finally decided to weigh and sort some pellets. I took 1/2 tin of JSB King Heavy MKIIs and started weighing them, finding them to vary up to 2 full grains in weight. I sorted out 25 pellets to within 33.90 and 34.00 grains and guess what, the flyers disappeared, resulting in the 85 yard group found below, probably one of the best I have ever shot.

In summary, I believe this rifle, is one of the best engineered rifles in my stable. The FX Panthera is in its own performance class, more powerful, and extremely accurate with the matched slugs. This also is not to take anything away from all of the other terrific air rifles on the market today. However, don't be afraid to spend the money for the Epoch rifle. It is easy to adjust both in terms of power and ergonomics, with the multiple barrel liners one should be able to maximize the performance with about any projectile, and the electronic platform is terrific. With the technical information they provide, Skout seems very committed to providing excellent service and a terrific customer experience. I am pleased that I made the investment.

As I know the question will come, I have not attempted to shoot slugs through it yet. I am getting such great results with pellets, that I haven't gone there. However, depending upon the information I get back from Skout that I forwarded yesterday, in terms of engineered velocity capabilities, if I can verify that I can get in the range of 1030 to 1050 with a 33 grain to 40 grain slug, you can expect me to experiment with such soon.

If you have other questions, feel free to write and I will attempt to respond.

Need some help finding the different size foam pads that come in the pellet tins. I bought a whole bunch of tin jars for pellet sorting, but need the foam pads as well. Anyone know where to get them? Great appreciate the help.

Went for a great Fathers Day tandem ride with my wife and came back home to relax the day away. Those four starlings got lucky as I was feeling peaceful. Typically at my permissions I give no quarter. The Atomic XR was willing and able, chomping at the bit, me? I must be getting old and soft. They were about 30 yards away… easy picking for the Atomic XR.

I’m a field full of amazing airgunners and rimfire Pros… Gerhard emerged victorious!

June 22nd will be my fifth anniversary as a member of AGN. During that time I've extolled the virtues of products that worked for me and tried to pass my positive experience along to others in the sport....The Taipan Veteran and Daystate Huntsman are such examples...My personal favorites...However I have another airgun that pre dates both of my favorites by at least a year bought new about five years ago and in that time it has proven it's self, consistently, absolutely, no grey area, positively without a doubt to be THE gun I can shoot the best time and time again year in and year out, I shoot groups OFF MY KNEE that just make me giggle...think I replaced the breech oring once, pulled it out while cleaning years ago, been no leaks or issues...I did have a cracked mag replaced I'm the beginning. The design of this gun is genius the way it holds and fits and that smooth twist barrel is just amazing...I'm referring to the FX Bobcat Mk2...mine is in. 25cal. Worst thing I can say about it...It's UGLY (to me) I hate synthetic stocks and it is a "big boys gun" bench/target only, if someone can tote a Bobcat through the woods their a better man than me! Dead accurate on both power levels 650 on low 900 on high with JSB 25s shoots the 33s a little better on high at 775, high shot count 150 on low 90 on high...been years since I checked that...I don't post this lightly...I always regret buying this one as I prefere "show ponies with "pretty wood stocks"...This story needed to be told...I've shot the best groups of my life with my Bobcat and keep it on it's preformamce alone...but it will never be displayed on my wall...UGLY!!!
Groups are typical...the one hole in wood was years ago a"5 stack" best ever the rest just a few examples @ 30 yards...can do it any time wind permitting...off my knee no bench.

I am lurking with the idea retiring somewhere there, because, first of all I am decent literate with all they languages, also the living costs attracting my attention. For years I was tinkering about moving to Spain or Portugal, but those places floaded lately with african migrants, must have got over crowded in meantime ...
In Canada I have a PAL-RPAL (license=permit) for my high powered airguns, the ideal would be if I could take my toys with me there, in a container?
Next time I am flying out somewhere before end of the year for a learning curve. Where shall I ask for details? Start with a local Police station or there may be other better places? I would really prefer visiting and talking to a living person over there instead of just reading generic websites in front of a PC screen.
Any hungarian-serbian members in gunclubs can chime in, or eventually we go private messaging?

Got a new scope for the Taipan .25 Shorty. Hawke Airmax 4-16x44 Compact. This was about two weeks ago, and I finally got it zeroed tonight. I then went into the shed the spatzes nest in and made a bunch of noise. I heard them fly out so went back to the door and they were perched in the near corn crib. They saw me as I came to the door and flew to the far corn cribs. I drew a line on a male, offhand, and dropped him in a shower of feathers.

I paced off the shot and it was 32 long paces for my 6’2” legs so I figure 30-35 yards.

The Taipan short really is nice to shoot offhand.

Edgun Leshiy 2, semi- auto, in excellent condition. Less than 500 rounds shot. I dont shoot it enough to justify it, but it is a fine piece of engineering for sure.
Includes:

It comes set up for .22 with a 250mm long barrel.

Behemoth silencer with tri-lug QD (I have 1 section removed to make it shorter, it is included) exit hole is 7.62mm.

300cc bottle

Huma Raptor Regulator installed ( also includes original REPR reg as well)

4 ea .22 aluminum magazines that hold 8 rounds each, 2 red, 2 black

3 mag holders (2 stock mounted, 1 magnetic that fits under Pic rail)

Meazy gauge for easy regulator adjustment. The Meazy digital gauge (this is the red gauge on the stock tube) paired with the Huma regulator gives super easy regulator adjusting while shooting to dial in pressure for specific ammo. Easily change pressure when switching to different weights and calibers for fine tuning, its a total game changer!)

includes original box and manual.

Ive enjoyed shooting the 18gr JSB Match Diablo pellets, see target in pic.

Anybody know of FT targets that are self resetting ? NOT shoot to reset ! I saw some that were not fancy shaped just a rectangle with a kill zone and operated like an FT target but self reset due to a balance mechanism .

Both like new fs. Ares 500$ shipped, and Argos 300$ shipped! Both can be sold with some rings just lmk if you need em! Both will come with scope sun shades! Both are ffp and 30mm tube!

Hello airgunners hope y'all doing great i have a problem I could not solve i have the FX impact M3 .22 there is something wrong the gun, scope, rings, whatever point of impact changes with different distances 30 yard zero is 11 click right at a 100 yard my groups is great 1 inch at a 100 and one hole 0-50 yards i change the scope ring many times i took the gun apart and align the rail and the scope rail using by millimeter changed ammo changed shooting speed the problem is still there the only thing i didn't change is the scope and the gun i will contact vortex and fx after posting this i know there is something not aligned correctly the gun or the scope help me please

Note there is no wind test was done in closed range

Got one this morning.

Never hunt from inside your house, I saw this squirrel eating bird seed on the ground and I was shooting off my pool table and out the door and between the porch rails and I don’t see the door knob
