Just picked up a couple of tins of these Daisy .22 500ct pellets from Tractor Supply for $7.99. I've never seen these before, but they look quite nice. There's no information that I can find that shows the actual weight of the pellet. They seem to be bigger and heavier than the Crossman Premier HP that I exclusively use ( can't beat the price and are quite accurate in all of my PCP's). The only thing that I don't care for at the moment, is the tin is a push top not a screw top. Anyone try these yet? It will be a few days before I get a chance to try them out.

Here's a pic vs. CPHP's.

Many problems with putting a regulator in my new Daystate revere and what to blame?
So first I bought a 3 liter tank on eBay but how am I gonna fill? Figured I’d take my time and do it
with this $200 Chinese thing.
Went ( for me big) on a gx cs4i from gx $585 total, about $80 more than alibaba but for once I thought
it might be safer.

I went to a local pawn shop this afternoon and found this like new 2240. I put in a CO2 and it works. The Gamo Blue Bomber pellets were included with a previously purchased gun.
They were close at hand so that's what I shot today. Judging from the serial number I think it was mfd in 1987. Tomorrow I plan to shoot it from a rest and try a couple different pellets to see what it likes.

I’m going to try out a digital scope. I’ve had this scope for 4 years now. Never let me down. It comes with the original Hawke hardcase carry case. Has a small ding.

6-24x56. Has a side wheel.

The ChairGun app works in tandem with the reticle. All you do is plug in your info and shoot. It has the same reticle as shown in the ChairGun app.

I will NOT be including the pic rail FX no limit mounts. Bubble level included.

$280 shipped.

What pellet shape and foot pounds of energy for a 22 cal and 25 cal pcp in your experience is appropriate for pests the size of prairie dogs, rabbits, squirrels and coons. Thank you.

Gray wolf crown mk2 22 caliber 600mm barrel 580cc bottle tuned by ken Shapley more accurate then you or me. I could go into detail but no one cares.

Any who trade for a Raw mini in 22 caliber stright up swap.

Rifle stock was cracked and repaired professionally. Rifle is in excellent shaoe other then whats highlighted. You can take this rifle to a N50 event and win if you do you part. I am Confident in that.

Got my Daystate huntsman revere .25 a few weeks ago. It was and is not recommended in .25 on here but I bought before reading.I thought I was getting great deal for $900 but it was unregulated. It shot 30 20 gr pellets fine in my cellar range of 13 yards but started low at 796 and rose to 936 after 16 shots 170 BAR and fell to 863 125 BAR at shot 29. I don’t know what 50 yards would be but I suspect there would be a vertical path .

So tinkering I shall do, ordered a huma regulator and with much troubles finally got installed with no leaks. Kept the stock off and went to accurizing. Started at 150 on the huma and got consistent 890s but only 14 shots before dropping off.
Reduced to 140 on reg and saw no real change. Started playing with hammer , in the end back to what it was about.

So far and I’m not done but the only thing the regulator did was make the shots consistent from the first shot till about 15. Stock you could
get about 27 but the first 8 or nine were way low fps.

When I clean my .177 HW 97k rifle using the pull through barrel method, I never get anything like lead or dirt on the patches. They always seem clean. I have been using Hoppes solvent. How should I clean and what solvent do you use. Should I be more aggressive than just using a patch? I have been shooting H&N and AA pellets.

After buying my first pellet gun to deter the squirrels which was a maligned Umarex synergis elite. I did find it fantastic and did meet all of my needs for my yard . It did pique my interest in the whole pellet gun thing which led me to a Reximex rpa after seeing it on YouTube. So I got a hand pump . Oookayy I’m 68 and beat up from a lineman’s carear and motorcycle racing ( road, crashed many times 3 concussions 10 broken bones)
Read All the posts about buying a good one, sorry going cheap first. Get a Amaxon $200 one . So far it works.
Reading more I thought I needed water filtration so bought ( picture) this from Amadon . My troubles begin…

With unwanted "self-tightening" valve spring hopefully corrected, decided on another overall repair attempt. Completed full cleaning and lube, followed by removal of DonnyFL adapter and re-installation of baffles/air stripper. Regulator increased from 130b to 150 and HS adjusted fully in, out enough to just allow side-lever operation. Shotgun patterns and pellet clipping forced return to DonnyFL adapter and (pictured) empty can (STO-FALX) for noise control. Chronograph revealed JSB 33.95s were leaving muzzle @ 650FPS so lighter pellets needed. Out of (26 grain) Predator Polymags, (27.47grain) H&N Barracuda Hunters, JSB Hades (26.54 grain) and H&N FTT (20.06 grain), only Barracudas and Hades grouped. Further HS adjustments and testing showed Hades was best with HS one full turn out, from seated, Six shot group @ 50 yards (pictured) with median of 840 FPS and SD 6.5. More Hades on order, further testing ahead but promising results, WM

3 Year Warranty.

$2800.00 invested, Priced at $2450.00 + shipping CONUS OBO -- May trade for an lighter high end rifle in .30 or .25 cal. Prefer to trade of equal value but able to trade up or down with cash in either direction.

Below is some general information about the Skout Evo and the ECR barrel.

The 30Cal ECR ( Electrochemical Rifled ) 25 inch Stainless Steel barrel is a 1:24 twist. This is a barrel that will shoot slugs and pellets.
Electrochemical process for superior firearm rifling

When it comes to the barrel rifling process, Extrude Hone’s Electrochemical Rifling (ECR) distinguishes itself by offering a level of precision and quality that goes beyond the capabilities of traditional methods. With a legacy spanning over two decades, ECR has consistently delivered superior results in terms of rifling quality.

The electrochemical process employed by ECR ensures the creation of precise, polished grooves without any physical contact, thereby applying zero stress to the barrel. This innovative approach mitigates the concerns associated with traditional barrel rifling methods, where stress and potential deformities may compromise the performance of the firearm over time.

SKOUT® EPOCH featured one of the most adjustable, unique and light weight triggers to the airgun world. Unmatched in its versatility, reliability and user experience – much of the trigger system remains intact on the EVO. Simple changes like micro switch position, pivot point and angle of attack have all been utilized to refine the SKOUT® EVO trigger. These changes increase the range of adjustment, felt trigger weight and provide a cleaner “break” feeling to the trigger.

Every component of the EVO’s electronic control system has been tested in real world conditions. The battery pack of the EVO is CE approved and meets all current safety guidelines for lithium batteries, it is also quick charging with a standby time of weeks.

Additionally, the EVO’s electronic components have a modular design, giving the user the ability to repair, replace or customize individual components rather than replacing an entire system.

SKOUT® believes in the Right to Repair, and can provide replacement and repair parts for users who choose to service/repair their own equipment. This is particularly important to shooters in remote locations, or those who frequently travel.

The revised barrel lock system of the EVO allows the shooter to index their barrel without removing it from the airgun. The EVO barrel lock offers infinite adjustment, precise alignment and secure retention.

➊
Do carbine versions of springers have less power than full length rifles?
About how much less in .22cal?


➋
Is it myth or real that carbines are easier for a shooter to deal with the hold sensitivity?


A recent thread on AGN made me wonder, but I didn't want to derail it.

Thanks,

Merry Christmas Y'all

OMG I can't believe that I shot somebody's private target yesterday! I wasn't paying attention, it was toward the end of the day when the wind starts up and basically everyone was gone but the range master and maybe 2 other guys. I just finished shooting 400 plus yards but because of the winds, wanted to see how a quick swap (.25 in it currently) to a .22 barrel with the 40 grain Altaros would do at 200 yards. After turning down the speed it did very good and I was shooting these little bunny silhouettes, shot all of them and happened on a target still out on the lune and shot it a couple 5 times...

That was it and I started packing up. I wave hi to one of the guys as we we both were packing up did not speak to him, he waved back. He had this target in his hands and was so proud of it. I did not realize it was the same same target I shot at until this very morning when reviewing some of the footage. OMG!

There was only the three of us shooting at that time and I go friggen shoot his target!

I am so sorry, I will have to see if I can find him next time I go out. I only see him maybe once every couple months out there.

Truly enjoy doe hunting with my quackenbush rifles . She was at 55 yards broadside . 285 ish grain roundball . Took out both lungs and broke through a rib on the way out . She ran about 40-45 yards and crashed .

Love the R9, but still preferred my tx200. Sold it and regret it

Would like to sell this brand spanking new R9 purchased and tuned by Mike at flying dragon airguns. Literally haven’t even fired the gun since purchasing. Just got my heart set on the air arms instead.

Message for pics or more info.

Asking $450 shipped.

Thanks for looking.

Bought the gun from ThePelletShop, so far so good, no problem. However, firing with factory default suppressor with the gun is still pretty loud. So I decided to put a converter and use Behemoth Silencer from my Leshiy 2.
Oh boy, 5 baffles is already make it so quiet but I do a bit overkill by putting 10 baffles, lol. It's so darn quiet, way too quiet. Look at how long it is now

Here is the sound testing, you can hear it for yourself link

Any ideas? Here is one some guys use. I get a small strip of duct seal big enough to stick necco candy wafers/discs to a target board. I use an old Outers' 22 rimfire trap for a pellet trap. Save the lead for future adventures.
Use the kids' plastic army men from discount stores. I also have hand made similar targets of duct seal. Not much detail but any imaginable shape should work like silhouettes. Reuse them until you can't. They pick up pellets and detritus from the pellet trap. Some ideas to start. As said elsewhere duct seal to hold necco candy discs works well, shoot the disc, then the pieces, then set them on edge. Please put up your experiences and thoughts. Be Well Brothers, dito.

in good shape few lite scratchs on stock its got 1/2 20 threads sticking out factory ldc been removed
