Shooting a Springer...for Dummies

Hi Y'all,

Since so many new airgunners are frustrated by the lack of accuracy they get out of their springers, I wrote an article for the American Airgunner blog detailing why the specific hold matters so much when shooting a springer. There's also a pretty stark demonstration of hold sensitivity in there.

Its catered to new shooters, but I wanted to drop it here since AGN has quickly become the go-to knowledge hub.

You can check out the post here:

What’s a good simple.22

I’m in the market for a .22 that I can get 35-45 ft lbs out of with 17-23 grain pellets/slugs. I’ve looked at the FX Impacts and they look like a nice rifle but I’m afraid it might be a little complicated for me. I’d like to have to have at least fairly good accuracy out to 100 yards. Also I shoot left handed. Is there a fairly simple solid rifle that fits what I’m looking to do. What’s you guys opinions. Thanks

Good Out of the Box Shooters (PCPs) - Share Your Experiences

After reading many threads where members ask questions seeking advice concerning which gun to purchase for hunting/pesting, a first PCP for backyard plinking, or wanting to tryout benchrest styled shooting I saw several posts where tinkerers, competitors, and mechanically inclined members are advising Rick Fat Thumb, Mr. Cubicle, and Joe Hammerfist to purchase their favorite first tinkerers’ toy. So it dawned on me this morning to search for a thread listing and detailing members’ experiences with good “out of the box shooters.” I didn’t find much in a quick search, so I felt compelled to create a thread for it.

In the context of this thread a good “out of the box shooter” should be a gun that is relatively easy to setup for a person completely new to PCP airguns, shoots with consistent accuracy, and maintains the potential for relatively reliable precision once the shooter learns what it takes to shoot more precisely. Considering that this is a thread that will likely benefit more people new to air gunning, let’s aim to keep the cost for rifles under $1200 and air pistols under $600. The suggested guns should meet the following criteria:

  1. The guns must be PCP airguns.
  2. After unboxing, affixing an optic or sights, maybe giving the barrel a decent cleaning to remove most of the manufacturer’s grease, gassing up, and sighting in your scope (if applicable), the gun should shoot accurately and relatively consistently within a reasonable distance for its build out of the box. This entails something like 10 yards for pistols, 25 -35 yards for low-powered compact carbines and bullpups (maybe < 20-25fpe), and 50 yards for moderately priced entry level and budget rifles on up into up into the lower middle-tiered PCPs. It should do this without having to be tuned by a distributor or gunsmith.
  3. It may be regulated or unregulated.
  4. It should be a gun built to last more than a year without the accuracy being compromised. Maybe share with us how it has held up after a year or two.
Other things that may be helpful-
  • Guns you’ve had your eye on for a while are great, but guns you have experience with are preferred.
  • Specify what the gun’s strengths and weaknesses are. Are there known issues or problematic parts?
  • Suggest what you believe good primary and secondary uses are (e.g. a good pesting tool for animals “xxx” size to “zzz” size, good basement paper target puncher, etc).
  • Be sure to discuss the sound level and weight.
  • Finally, parts and diagrams should be relatively easy to access.

What effect does closing down the transfer port have on the dwell of the valve?

Hey Folks,
This question has me thinking.
Let's say I'm shooting slugs out of my Crown mk2 and decided to shoot pellets. Without changing the reg pressure , or power wheel adjustment but only close down transfer port from high to medium or low. What effect does the excess air have on the dwell time of the valve or does it? Does the back pressure increase the dwell time or just what happens to all that extra air. It's in a sealed chamber, does it work against the return spring for the valve?
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Mike

.22 Cricket2 Tactical with custom SC stock

Just received a .22 Cricket2 Tactical in trade. 600mm unchoked barrel. Previous owner tuned to 900 FPS with Monster RD pellets.
I took the gun out to shoot yesterday, initially at 50 yards, and was very disappointed with the pellet performance. At 50 yards getting a ten shot group inside a quarter was about the best I could do. I did bring some slugs with me, JSB .217 KO and .22 FX Hybrid.
I started with the KOs, and although they shot well, they we only a little bit better than the RDM pellets.

Then I loaded a magazine (14 shots) with the FX Hybrids. BINGO! :cool: Shooting them at 910 FPS, all 14 went into a group smaller than a dime. Mostly a 14 shot cloverleaf. So looks like that will be a great little hunter, or PRS gun.
The Steve Corcorran stock was purchased used from another member here on AGN, and its gorgeous. The gun itself is very good, cocking is fairly smooth, but every now and then it over rotates the magazine and I need to manually rotate it back so the slug will load. It did this with both pellets and slugs. Also, Cricket continues to use that "needle probe", which is what I call their pin probe made VERY thin from weak bendable steel. They need to either go to a slightly thicker "pin", or upgrade the toughness of the steel that is used. It bends VERY easily as it is now. I put the 700cc bottle on just for fun, will probably reinstall the original 580cc bottle. I'm curious why with a new model gun Kalibrgun didn't make the scope pic rail 20 or 25 MOA...??? Hmmm, doesn't make much sense.

But back to the actual gun, the .22 FX Hybrid in this gun are as accurate as any slug I've seen from any gun that I've shot. I took it to 100 yards but swirly winds but not enough time to give it a fair shake. I shot about 20 and most were in the 9 or 10 ring of the EBR target and a few in the 8 ring. Overall, disappointed in the pellet (RDM) performance, but thrilled with the slug (FX Hybrid) performance. They aren't high BC slugs, but 0.080 (G1) is much better than any pellet...

Show us your squirrel gun for this season!

Hopefully I didn't miss a thread similar to this already. I was gearing up to get ready for our squirrel season here in September, and just thought it would be nice to see what kinda iron ya'll are toting on the first hunt this year? I know some have already started, post up anyway.

As for me, I've changed gears a bit lately, and have been screwing around with some of my PCPs. If you know me, you know I'm a pretty diehard spring gun hunter so this is quite the change of tune lol...but I'm not drifting off the road too far, it's still a low powered .177 peashooter. It will be just the ticket for the high angle treetop shots that early squirrel season always provides.

Here's my HW100 in .177 running right at 12fpe, in "Carbine" mode. Wearing a 3-9X40 Nikon Target EFR:
HW100 Carbine.jpg

IMG_20200814_193843.jpg

Right now it sports a CZ hammer forged barrel, a lightened and shortened hammer, and an extended pellet probe to seat the pellet fully into the bore. It also has the top of the receiver drilled and tapped for three setscrews that make the barrel mounting more rigid, and quick to change with the airtube still in place. All I need to do now is find my front sling stud and screw it in place of the front action screw and I'm set.

I saved a little weight over my old standby HW77K, this setup weighs 8.8lbs and is a little shorter at 38 inches OAL. Looking forward to dragging this one through the woods this year. Definitely not as cool and powerful as the newer toys most of you guys have, but it will get the job done.

Let's see what you are hitting the woods with!

I'm really curious.....

In the few years I've been involved with PCP's I've probably tried 8-10 different scopes, the majority of which have had illuminated reticles (IR). Other than putting a battery in to see if they work properly I've NEVER used that feature. Even Joe Rhea (Cyclops) mentioned in one of his videos that they're mostly a "gimmick". 5+ years of hunting & I've never had the need to use it. How many of you really use IR on a regular basis. Is it a deal breaker/maker when buying a scope & WHY? I'm really curious.

Fear and trepidation

Well I finally polished my barrels. I had gathered alll necessary supplies and sat on them. I was fearful of ruining a barrel. I watched many videos on the subject. Today I polished 4 barrels, my fears were unfound. I approached the first barrel with trepidation. It was an easy task, should have done the polishing sooner. I used the red JB paste and Flitz they came out with a mirror like finish, pellets glided smoothly through the barrel. I ran out of daylight but hopefully will try them tomorrow. Fear not!
