Just curious if anyone has a lot of experience with the DW in .25. I have one inbound and I assume no ultra valve just standard. I am wanting to know the minimum reg pressure that will shoot 33.95 880-890 fps ? I imagine not ideal but I would like to find a reg pressure that possibly would work with 25.39 as well ?
Finally, is the ultra valve worth spending the money on if I never plan to go above 62-63 ft/lbs with 33.95 pellets? Thanks guys.

This is NOT a "My ego is bigger than yours" ... just some interest in real world groups shot at around 100yds ... ANY airgun, any calibre.....Slug..... Pellet.

If you were to fire ...... "5" ...... 5 shot groups in still conditions...what would your "average" spread be?

This video is a beginner's guide to smashing coyotes in the yard.

It's basic and contains 8 main chapters. Hopefully someone finds it useful. Included are airgun power levels I use vs what I recommend, airguns I have used and currently use, scope recommendations, kill shots with results, motion detectors, a look into security camera systems, ways to use bait placement and turn them into more opportunities and more.



Good luck

One of my boys found this for me to add to my collection.

Got it all set up like I want! Thanks to Bravo 3D for the grip and @TorqueMaster for the moderator.

So as this rabbit hole grows deep and trying to understand a starting point as new to all this.

Would like to be able to use as both paper punching and hunting ( big & small game ) and able to moderate to due to other half is super sensitive to noise.

After reading multiple search results and web video things, and looking at the used market to start. Still trying to decided on the interchangeable barrels to do both big bore and small bore or a single caliber capable of both

Looking for something that has modular setup, more bull pup type for compactness, and removable magazine

What are some thoughts in this area.

Hey All,

Letting this one go for a hell of a deal…..Amazing shooter but have settled on my FX Crown for my 100 yard benchrest gun and this one needs to go. Far to nice to just sit in the case.

This is the latest electronics, equipped with the Heliboard (original board included).

Shoots the 33.95 MK2 lights out and also the JSB Knockouts slugs INCREDIBLY well (have not tried others but have heard the .25 barrels like the mid weight slugs).

Comes with 1 magazine, single shot tray, battery, charger, heliboard, original board.

Has the PRS butt stock installed (have the bag rider attachment as well) that can be included as well as the 0dB moderator.

Scope, rings, Atlas bipod not included.

Rifle with stock butt stock 1550 and we can split the shipping.

Can negotiate for PRS butt stock and bag rider as well as the 0dB mod (tried tons of brands etc. this IS the moderator for this gun)

On spring piston airguns like FWB150-300S that has both a metal piston ring AND a piston seal, does the metal ring act as automotive compression piston rings, and the piston seal just provide "buffering" to prevent the piston from slamming into the compression chamber face?
Also, on airguns without the metal ring like Weihrauch R7, HW55, R9, etc, the piston seal must do both the compression and the buffering?
It seems that with a metal compression ring the gun will still work even without a good condition piston seal "buffer"?
Or maybe the piston ring is just acting as a "button" to keep the piston properly centered in the receiver bore???

New here and new to PCP but not new to guns at all. Having an accuracy problem with a PCP.

I bought my son a Hatsen Flash QE in .22 and can't seem to make it shoot well. I purchased a number of different brands of pellets initially. Sighted it in with the included scope (Cabela's purchase) and I thought it was doing well. I could consistently hit a popcan at 40+ yards.

He shot it a bunch over the next 6 months but I noticed he stopped shooting it and asked why. He wasn't hitting anything. I believe the scope may have got bumped and so I took the opportunity to buy a nicer scope, Athlon 3-9x40 .22 rimfire scope, and put it on. I pumped the gun up to 200 bar and got it sited in, at 15 yards I was grouping around a 1/2 inch so I went out to 40 yards. Couldn't keep it on an 8.5x11 even. After running the air down without finding anything I pumped it back up to 200 bar, moved the target back to 15 yards and put maybe 5 rounds through 1/2" again.

I thought maybe I was just losing it at 40 yards for some reason so I put the target back out there and same thing. A dozen shots, several of them completely missing the paper. I moved it back to 15 yards and it was off the same amount.

I cannot remember the pellet weights, but I was shooting Crosman mid weight for all of that. I found 10 pellets that were lighter and shot them, with <200 bar and it did not help.

I am waiting for a JSB Diable Exact 18.13 gr and some Haendler & Natermann 21.14 gr pellets to ship so I can try those out.

The only thing I have found that is stable and I'm not 100% convinced on this yet, is it seems the first half dozen shots off of a full 200 bar charge seem to be accurate. Then it goes crazy. But I wouldn't die on that hill, not enough data collected.

The problem presenting has followed through 2 scopes with different mounting completely, and several pellet weights and brands. I cleaned the barrel but it was almost spotless before so no change there.

Any suggestions would be great. I really enjoy the PCP tech, got an electric pump that my son can run (no more heart attacks when I get off work hand pumping that sucker). And I really like that it's more safe than a powder burner for shooting around the yard. We only have one neighbor in PCP range but quite a few in .17 HMR range.

Have a good sidewinder compact .30 for sale. Shoots hades and hybrids slugs great. Comes with 2 mags and 0db mod. Has Leshiy 300cc cf bottle on it. Can also come with a long sarissa mod and 480cc fx bottle with valve, very quiet in that setup. Does not come with scope.

$1600 shipped in compact configuration. $1700 in the sarissa and 480 configuration.
$1850 if you want everything and will throw in a bag of RMR hybrid slugs.

2008 production model in very good condition. It has the scalloped loading port to facilitate single shot loading, and a quick fill male foster fitting. The stock is the very desirable and hard to find Sentinel thumbhole model. Two magazines are included and also the scope rings. I am not sure if the rings are Theoben original but they do screw into the block. One ring is offset and I have heard of a Theoben offset ring. It also has an adjustable recoil pad. It does not have a regulator. There is a small hard to see blemish on the moderator. It is shooting about 40 ft/lbs with JSB 25 grain pellets and is very accurate! $1100 plus shipping lower 48 NOW.... $950

Yep I said it, and not for the first time.

Some sure seem to get heated up about that statement. Others are pragmatic enough to accept reality.

When guys are running "bb guns" that cost north of $8-10k, there's not much of an argument against it being an arms race.

When I say "arms race" I'm talking about the perpetual creep that results in ever bigger side wheels, more expensive scopes and guns, more complicated bipods, and generally more gadgetry for the classes where that's allowed, etc.

The arms race is a result of a combination of factors. First of those is that in any competition that is similarly equipment-dependent, you'll see the same thing. Competitors will spend big to acquire what they feel is the most competitive equipment. Another is the demographic....field target competitors are primarily a collection of well-to-do geezers, and many of those are retired, with the time and money to be silly about how they spend that time and money. Another is psychology...if I just buy THAT gun or THAT scope then I'll be at the top in future matches. In that sense, the arms race is as much a personal battle as it is a side-quest competition with the rest of the field. Furthermore, and another part of the psychology, is that it's simply fun to try out new guns and scopes. And who's going to buy a lower quality gun or scope than what they already have? So of course that feeds into the process of continually spending more and more and the average price of a rig in any given ft competition creeping up and up and up over the years. In that sense, some of the arms race is the over-used adage of, "you get what you pay for."

All of that is fine and dandy, and it's simply the reality of the field target game.

The negative aspect of the arms race is those rare times when a newcomer is at their first match and we have to tell them the price of the borrowed rig they're fondling. It's hard for them to envision themselves being part of the collection of field target competitors since they haven't mentally worked their way up to the great financial heights incrementally like most of us have. I say that from personal experience when I was new, and from the exact same facial expression I see when I introduce someone to field target.

As for the inevitable, "it's the indian, not the arrow" straw man logic rebuttals that are sure to come.....There is very certainly a price threshold that must be crossed to get into "competitive" territory. Yeah yeah, "so and so won with an entry level _______________ back in 20XX." Those cases are rare, and speak much to the skill of that individual competitor. In the main example I see used, that guy is now shooting a $3-4K scope/gun combo, NOT the entry level rig that he did well with that year. For most of us mere mortals, quality equipment ($$$) must be invested in if a guy has any intentions of being competitive, then of course comes practice to complete the rest of the winning equation. Hence my earlier statement about how equipment-dependent field target is.

And there you have the arms race.

(And with that, let the online battle commence).

I am looking to purchase a 250 hours Bauer Oceanus. Gas powered (Honda GX160 - I believe)
First pictures I saw it looked clean. Supposedly recent service on the engine and a new filter.
It is an older model with the grey safety cover - I am trying to get more information - what else is important to know ?

Is $3500 reasonable or overpriced?

thanks for your input.

We would like to present our new Airgun World Record, which differs from our previous records mainly in the format, where the goal is not to hit the target at the longest distance, but according to the 3-Shot Record format, where it is necessary to hit the target with 3 shots in a row.
This type some consider a much more significant demonstration of the accuracy of the shooting system, since this format limits the possibility of using "brute force" simply by a large number of shots before a single hit occurs.
A similar format is also used at ELR competitions, for example King 2 miles, with the only difference being that the condition is a cold bore shot, which cannot be applied in the video format, since the authenticity of such shooting cannot be guaranteed.

To achieve this result, a new generation of upcoming products such as the new Altaros M24 airgun series and new slugs were used. Both products will soon be available on our website.

Used airgun: Altaros M24 - secret project X
Used Slugs: Altaros CNC 100gr cal. 6mm
Used riflescope: Arken Optics sh4j 6-24x50 ffp mrad

Need suggestions on scope and mounts/rings for Taipan Vet 2 standard (700mm barrel).

I am okay with a SFP or FFP scope. Max magnification 20x or 24x.

Mounts: two piece will do fine but not sure if I should get low profile or medium. I want to keep the scope as close to the barrel as possible. For those who have a Vet 2, how is the cheek piece in relation to the scope if you use low or medium mounts?

My current set-up on FX Wildcat MK3 is:

Scope:

Athlon Optics Argos HMR 4-20x50mm Mildot​

Mounts:

FX No Limit Scope Rings

This setup has worked fine for me but the scope does sit high compared to the barrel. So if you can help me figure out a scope and mounts combination (low profile mounts if they work) that I can work in my budget, I would appreciate it.

Scope Budget: $300. Mounts: $40-$60.

Thanks!
