Looking for a cost effective option on this one. I know it can become very expensive for something like this. I'd like to utilize my GoPro Hero 12 Black if possible, to reduce costs. I saw one option, but they had to sort of mutilate the GoPro 11 to remove the stock components. I'd rather avoid that. Ideally, is there anything that you guys & gals know of which I could use to have my GoPro Hero 12 Black record whatever my scope sees, but then just be able to quickly remove my GoPro for use on other things? If it helps, I do also have the "Max Lens."

Thanks in advance!

Edit:
Thank you for your replies! I am squared away with this. everything is more expensive than I am willing to spend. I found a 3D print that works really well if you miraculously happen to have access to 50% reflective mirror

Hi guys, I own the bottle versions of the Wildcat, it is in .22 and I have it with a 600mm barrel and a 480 bottle, right in between the compact and the sniper, I find it really comfortable.
I’ve owned the gun for about a year now and ever since I got it I noticed quite a bit of recoil, the gun stock is very light and I believe that is the reason why its got the shakes when it shoots.
I’ve been swaging my own slugs for a while now from a Corbin press, I found that the stx superior barrel likes the .218’s better than the .217’s but even though I’ve found the right slug, I’m still having trouble making decent groups at longer distances and I believe it’s the recoil that it affecting my groupings.
I have tried a couple of different things this last week, I shot groups with the gun held really loose, once the shoot went off, I let the gun jump wherever it wanted, then, I tried a couple of groups with the gun held really tight trying to follow through and stay on target as long as possible after the shot and the groups got tighter but not great.
I have tuned the gun to be consistent, I tried different velocities from 980 down to 940, couldn’t Get groups down below 2-2 1/2 inches.
Anyone experiencing this? Any tips on holding the gun? Could it be the liner (stx superior)? Should I try different velocities? I checked that everything is tightly screwed.
BTW I have an Impact MK2 that shoots amazing, no recoil, incredible groups at longer distances.
Thanks guys,

Lucas

Hi gang. Just took delivery of this beautiful new rifle that I’ve been lusting after since it first came out. I’ve noticed a deep scratch on the bottle. Anything to be worried about with respect to integrity? Like many of you, I’ve read horror stories about compromised high-pressure canisters, causing significant damage to person and property. Would anybody suggest I reach out to the dealer To replace bottle, etc.?

Thx,

Jay Sanchez

This combo is simply wicked on small pests 40 yards and in, they simply don’t stand a chance if I get a chance to send.

I use cheap dollar store chamois cloth to clean and wax and polish my barrel... I was just wondering if anyone else using this... It is phenomenal way to clean... No more cotton patches for me..

TLDR massively bum shoulder - how much recoil does a big bore air rifle REALLY have?

I’ve had 2 major shoulder procedures that have helped but it isn’t a perfect fix.
My shoulder still subluxes.

For context - If I carry a gallon of milk with my arm slack at my side, my shoulder will sublux. I’ve developed some muscle tone to combat it but the last time I fired something that had the ability to take a deer down, it ended with a complete dislocation.

I even had an AR built with a muzzle break to try and combat the issue, which it did, however, it felt like you were being slapped in the face and I need 2 sets of ear protection to tolerate it on the range.


Very recently, I learned about big bore air rifle options. I’m consuming research (and y’all have provided so much) but I am concerned. I don’t want to invest in a “let’s just try it” deer set up just to be out the investment and up another shoulder surgery.

Here are my concerns:

1 recoil (obviously)
2 force needed to cock a deer set up (I’ve read some things that say they take 20lbs to load a round?)
3 maintenance and mods.
4 anything else? I don’t know what I don’t know.

The good - I'm a decent shot. My last DRT was Saturday. I got a squirrel with a daisy 880 at 50 feet with iron sights. Would’ve eaten it too but it was a nasty boar. Pic attached, don’t judge the glove.

The bad - yes, in addition to my lame shoulder -
I am lightweight and pretty weak.
I am not mechanically inclined
I want something reliable. I know, that’s subjective so let me clarify
I want to fill, point, shoot, clean, repeat.
I’m a lefty

I’ve just ordered my very first PCP - an Air Venturi Avenge-X .22 (it’s marketed as ambi and I am a true lefty) and a JTS portable compressor. Now all I can think about is deer season is coming and how nice a .50 Airforce Texan sounds.

But, can I handle it?

Yes, on occasion this mediocre shooter sends some sweet 1 MOA, five shot groups out to 50 yards and beyond. But mostly I’ll send 3 or 4 great shots and flub the fifth. Or, send 3 great shots and flub shots four and five. I can hold consistent 1 MOA, 3 shot groups on a good day, but am not a target shooter or competitor. I am a plinker and pester in no particular order. Once zeroed? Am off to the races. At practical ranges? 1/16th off in the “the vitals”? Matters not to the pests… DRT! While I may be mistaken, I believe that three, shot groups better reflect what I can do with my PCPs. Of course understanding that my PCPs group better than I can hold.., Thoughts?

Screen shot attached. Thanks in advance for looking

I wanted to grab a variety of grains. the super light "Predator" will be used for long distance plinking and just messing around. The others are a variety of grains I intend to use for small/medium game. I know a .25 would have been better than a .22 for this, but if I can get myself a turkey this year then that would be really cool; that's what the heaviest grain in my list is for. My main goal here is to have something that could dispatch a turkey using a .22.

For the turkey hunting, I can't imagine I'd be more than like 8-10 meters out max. For the long range plinking, that's just going to be for shooting at inanimate targets for fun, basically just to see how far I can push the rifle.

Thoughts?

I'm trying to stick to Pyramyd because I am in the US and also their "buy four" deal.

Edit: I also forgot to mention that this specific Maurador will be the "Regulated" model with the "Lothar Walther" barrel.

Anyone used these cheap Audrius internal regulators from Lithuania that are sold only on eBay for around $70? Like this one https://www.ebay.com/itm/162104913497. I want to try to drop it one in my Marauder, but I'm not sure. Huma reg is $120. I sent a message to the eBay seller (2014_rusy) asking about some specs and instructions and heard nothing back. Suspicious . Anyone use these regs, and what's your experience? Worth a shot or not?

The best of the best clips from PMC (Precision Marksman Challenge) at the Rocky Mountain Airgun Challenge 2024!

Looking at selling or trading my shoebox compressor freedom 8 for another compressor has o ring kit and spacer spare parts. My phone number is 601-641-1504

Have been looking at different options and have been thinking of parting with the R5M in 25. Have 4 mags, 2 Huma regulators, BAT moderator, Arca rail installed, plastic and walnut stock, fill probe and original box.

Will get pictures up tonight, or just shoot me a message and we can talk.

Looking for $1800 and shipping can be discussed. Paypal preferred but willing to do other options if needed. Funds will have to clear before shipping.

Any questions just ask guys.

Has anyone preordered their Zelos ?
If so let us know.

I have in .25 and am looking forward to its delivery date.

EVOL MINI .22 caliber has folding stock so simple to adjust hammer spring , great gun super accurate good condition .no leaks , comes with oem moderator and magizines
$1900 paypal f&f shipped no low offers please price is firm

Now the magic was made on the Sidewinder .30 Cal.

I was not entirely happy with the accuracy of this rifle.

Went for the help of the weird drill tip, made the recrown of the barrel of the Sidewinder and now the accuracy is as good as expected.

Evening All!

Have enjoyed diving back into the hobby this past month or so (man has there been a ton of changes and advancements)!!

Currently throwing all my focus around 100 yard bench rest and have numerous contenders in the stable I am testing out.

One is a RAW HM1000x .22, put it through its paces today and one thing that blew me away was how well it grouped not only the 25.39 Monster Redesigns but also the JTS 22.07 (flying at 1010 fps!). 100 yards 40 shots. Apologizes for not posting with a measurement or thumb nail etc. to give a sense of size but measured 1.30 inches from far left to bottom edge of far right.



This was with a middle of the road scope, 24x magnification, rear bag and Atlas bipod sitting on a 4 foot long card table and a lawn chair so not the most stable setup.

Not sure if this one will make the cut for my intended purpose (have 13 more to put through their paces) but sure was surprised to see a fairly light weight .22 pellet group so well at that speed and distance.

Anyways just thought I would share my findings and throw this out there for other HM1000x .22 owners.

Be Safe,
Dr. Mike Long

How much of an advantage is it really? You save like 4 bucks on shipping, but the package ends up taking almost a month to get to the destination. It's ridiculous.

I refuse to use the post office for shipping items now vs a year ago I actually recommended them. My items have also been getting damaged by them vs the other 2 major carriers. They are about worthless when trying to file a claim or any follow ups to said claims.

I can't be the only one who's had issues with this service. How has your experience been?

Hey Guys,

To our first .30 Pellet BR100 is now joining lighter version in 48 grains - .30 BR50.
The box will contain 154 pcs.

The pellets are already available on our website and will be in the first stores within a month!

I just got this with the 600mm 177 barrel in it and have a 500mm 25cal barrel, mag,probe I have never put on yet. I am going to be honest I don't care for the POI change daily so it's got to go. When it settles in its shoots lights out which is fine for bench and target work but not for hunting. Scope,bipod,extended pic rail not included. I'm am interested in trading for Ghost HP in 22 or 177, evol, delta wolf or RW HP in 177. Can add money for the trade. Or I will sell for 1700 with shipping. Comes in fx hard case.
My understanding this is the mk2 version with power plenum. It was the latest version right before the mk3 with dual regs.

Title says it all. What have you found gets them good and clean without dinging the skirts?

Hey guys, can anyone please advise on available options to add an externally adjustable in-line regulator to a bottle airgun? The only one I found so far is this one: Ninja Flex Adjustable Pressure 1000-3000Psi Air Tank Regulator, which is basically a glorified paintball reg. Costs around $150 here: https://mcsus.com/products/ninja-flex-adjustable-pressure-1000-1700psi-air-tank-regulator. it comes in 3 versions - 1000-1700psi, 1700-2500psi, 2200-3000psi. I'd say for 4500psi rated bottle I need to go for 2200-3000psi one, but I might be wrong. Any other options available out there? I saw a few posts talking about JSAR external regs, but could not find any for sale, probably they are not manufactured any longer. And if you did actually add an external reg like this - how was your experience? Which gun and was it worth it? What are the possible issues that I need to watch for, things to be away, things to do and do not do. Questions, questions. Please advise before I screw this up myself, your experience and expertise are the most valuable assets of this forum . Thanks guys!

EDIT 7/15/2024: Added HUMA external regulator, thank you @Firewalker.
