A couple months ago I was helped by some of you members with scope math.

Okay if a scope is true at 10 power and I am shooting at 16 power what is the distance between Mill dots? And how do you get that math? And when doing that math how would I use it to say if I'm bracketing a brick that's 7 and 1/4 in Long at an unknown yardage how do I find out the math to find its distance. For those who answer this previously I am sorry because I lost the bookmark and I need you to chime in again. Thanks very much

My new toy came in today. Thanks to Meanadidas and Douger for their contributions. RAW HM 1000x .22 with Arken SH-4 GenII 6-24x50.

After voting on Michael's 'Pick Your Poison' thread, I ended up putting my money where my mouth was and purchasing a .22 cal Evol Paradigm. I ordered from AoA on Sunday, they were processing the order by Monday (4th of July), they shipped on Tuesday and it was delivered Thursday afternoon. Nice job AoA.



This gun is immaculate in its construction - a beautiful instrument and obviously very well made. I had a Vector Optics Veyron 6-24x44 FFP scope available, so I installed that. I'm still determining if the scope is the correct choice. It didn't work all that well in medium height rings, so I changed to talls. I'm still not all that comfortable over the gun so I may replace the Veyron with something that has a more forgiving eye box. And the Paradigm is a heavy gun already, so it doesn't really cry out for a compact & light optic.

The regulator is still breaking in - heck the gun only has 100 shots on it now. But even so (and some of the variability is due to using non-sorted, non-weighed pellets) the gun has so much promise! Below is my zeroing and first groups. I had to zero twice since I changed the rings after starting. All groups from the second line down are full magazines (11 shots), with the FX Chrony hanging off the barrel. Only 25 yards so far, but I am happy and things will likely only get better - especially as I get more comfortable over the gun with a different scope. The variability in the accuracy below is all on the shooter, and none on the gun.



Looks like about 5 magazines per fill (at least 50 very well controlled shots) at the gun's current tune putting out 48 fpe at the muzzle. I started seeing unusual performance towards the end of the 5th mag, and all through the 6th. Was definitely coming off the reg by the end of the 5th mag.



I love the gun so far, but as they say, not everything is beer and Skittles. One of the first things which hits you is that while the cocking lever is incredibly smooth, you are compressing a VERY HEAVY spring. Cocking feels more like a .30 or .357 caliber gun. But it may lighten up over time. Second item is the magazine. While incredibly well constructed, the magazine design they chose reminds me of loading a Benjamin mag, where one has to turn the cover and load the first pellet skirt-first. And with the precision of the mag, loading that first one isn't all that easy as the skirt likes to hang up. I'm now happy that I didn't pop for a second $98 mag when I bought the gun. But in the end, if the gun shoots accurately out of the magazine then the design is O.K. by me. And hopefully when AAA sells more and more guns, maybe Darko can be convinced to fabricate his mags and, especially, his single shot loaders!

So still lots of work for me to do with the Paradigm. Not tuning work, but just setting the gun up so I am more comfortable (and stable!) and repeatable when shooting it. It is kind of funny that with the Steve Corcoran stock of such an unusual design (in my experience), I forgot several times that it allowed a thumb up hold. I was just naturally grabbing the stock with my thumb through the thumbhole and shooting. Until halfway through maybe the 4th group I remembered to grip with my thumb up, and immediately felt a little more solid.

Once again nothing at all wrong with the gun or its design - it is just me getting used to it.

EDIT: Did some scope swapping and will try the Blackhound Genesis 6-24x50 and see how we get along. Big problem is that family is in town this weekend for Mom's 90th birthday. The nerve of that woman to turn 90 the weekend I want to shoot!

Selling 480cc FX bottle with valve. Was on a Dreamline bottle edition. Comes with an extra o-ring. $200 shipped.

I'm selling my Vortex Golden Eagle which was on a rifle I no longer own. It's a 15-60 power magnification scope in pristine condition and, of course, is covered by Vortex's fully transferable lifetime "no questions asked" warranty, the best warranty in the business. There's not much more to say about these that can't be found on Amazon (70+ 5 star ratings) and YouTube, but just in case I'll link a short promo video and a couple of pictures. This scope has gone up in price pretty dramatically since I purchased it so although it may look like an unrealistically low price, it's a couple of hundred under what I paid for it back in 2020. It come complete with all the accessories, in the original box with the original paperwork.

• The Golden Eagle HD is specifically designed for competitive shooters in F-Class, Bench Rest and other shooting disciplines with targets at known distance. A finely subtended, second focal plane reticle and 1/8 MOA clicks help you make subtle adjustments. (includes an additional 1/10 MOA windage turret)
• High density, apochromatic lens elements are index matched and generate sharp, high definition images. Premium, XR anti-reflective coatings deliver maximum brightness at the highest magnificaiton.
• A side focus adjustment eliminates down range parallax. An aperture stop ring broadens your depth field allowing you to more easily observe mirage and wind indicators while keeping your target in focus.
• A 30mm maintube machined from a single piece of aircraft grade aluminum provides a highly reliable platform for taking precision shots. At 29.5 ounces, you'll be able to adhere to strict competition limits.
• O-ring sealed and argon purged, the Golden Eagle delivers waterproof and fogproof performance. Armortek coatings protect the lenses from scratches, oil, and dirt.
  $1050.00 USD delivered anywhere in the Continental USA.

The replies & pictures from the week 1 event were truly amazing! Let's keep 'em classy for week 2 as well.

Nielsen Specialty Ammo, Inc has been at the leading edge of American made, high quality, affordable airgun ammunition since 2015. The family owned company operates out of Labadie, Missouri where customer service is a full time job for Nick and 3 of his 5 children, plus two daughter-in-laws. NSA distributes their products direct to consumers, through distributers within the USA, as well as a growing distributor network throughout the world.

In cooperation with Nielsen Specialty Ammo, we're hosting a very special giveaway, actually 4 of them! To thank you for making NSA the most popular slugs in the USA, Nick would like to give back by offering 4 individual winners 30 boxes of any small caliber slugs. That's not a typo! It can be all one slug, or 30 different ones. That's $659 worth of slugs to each winner!



All you have to do is reply below with a few kind words or pictures. Each week we will pick a winner based on the thread # (using a random number generator).

Week 2 begins now and ends July 15th.


ATTENTION PARTICIPANTS:
*Slugs must be in stock (most of them are anyways), and from .17 cal to .303 cal.

Anyone ever ordered from them?

I have a Condor 25cal with the talon tunes top hat upgrade. And moderator . Really great gun, just wanting to raise money for another gun. 500 plus shipping. If interested text me at 903-348-8735. Thanks for looking

Fx maverick .25 600mm 104bar PW 4
JSB king heavy 33.95 5 shots 870 fps
NSA 29 gr 5 shots 910fps.

I aimed for the red shown on the picture for 5 shots each at 86 yards.

Can anyone help me understand how the groups can end up like that basically 2.5 inches to the left/right of each other. Are the slugs spiraling?

I don't know the going rate for these pellets, but they are currently discounted on Amazon for $6.24 per tin. I DO NOT know how well Amazon packs pellets for protection during shipment...

Also this sale price may disappear at any time, as with any sale price on Amazon.

Looking for a larger sized air tank with lots of life (time) left. Let me know whatcha got laying around. Thanks

Added to initial listing: I don’t do any of the electronic forms of payment, (cancelled them all when they started frowning on firearm industry stuff) so I’ve been doing trades and purchases using postal money order. I realize this adds an extra step, but hopefully it’s a workable one. Thanks again

After months on the “drawing board” Joe Garland of JD’s Custom Designs is at it again! Never satisfied with the status quo in other traditional FT wheels, he has listened to you and incorporated a lot of your requests and needs into the new Gen 4 model.

The Gen 4 will incorporate new materials reducing overall weight, improved durability and increased ruggedness. In the Gen 4 series you will also see a much stronger magnet system keeping the wheel on the hub even in the most challenging shooting environments.

So does your current FT wheel limit you easy access to the illumination switch on your scope?

Do you find yourself having to remove the wheel to gain access or struggle to get your fingers on the knob?

Not any more!

One of the coolest features I believe is, the new design will allow those shooters who require easy access to the on/off switch of the reticle illumination a quick and easy solution and not have to remove the wheel!

I’m told he has the NMFS material units in stock and the aluminum units are soon to follow as the are a lot more time consuming to manufacture than the NMFS material ones and he wanted to get this new material and design in your hands and on your scope ASAP.

I’m sure you know not all scopes have the same or even close to the same depth of field. Sometimes even within the same brand of scope. You may find you and your scope need a wider arc with larger spacing on the near targets while the brand of scope your buddy is using really need a wider spacing between his ranges beyond 45+ yards. This may affect and/or determine the arc and the radius of the wheel that will give you the advantage over other brands.

I ordered a sampling of these wheels so I can share with you all the cool features and hopefully explain in simple terms which model wheel will work best for you brand or model of scope.

A video will soon follow (I’ll post the link once I’ve finished) but if you know what your needs are, Joe tells me he has a good selection of the Gen 4 in NMFS material ready to ship.

He also tells me he has a brand new design also available called the Battle Axe because of its shape.

Here are pics of the shapes. And by the way, as in his earlier designs, with only one hub you can mount any and all wheels so you can experiment with what shape maximizes the parallax adjustments of your particular scope.

I did not tune this rifle, I did not even run a patch through the barrel. I zero'd my scope and shot this string. Time stamps tell all there.
