Well like it says, I caved on another old air gun. This pretty special from a member here! This was bought new 10/11/1990. Then in July of 2021 sent to J.T. for a complete tune by the original owner. Came with a Hawke 4-12x40 AO Airmax scope, original purchase receipt, and before and after reports from John Thomas when tuned. I am ecstatic with this purchase! I sold this same model in 20 cal in the early 80's when it was first produced. Had it for about a year and sold it, dumb move.


But when I seen this one even though it was in 177, it was special enough to go for. 8.4 grain AA field or JSB Exact 8.4 grain pellets @ 924.9 av. fps with 16 fpe is capable of accuracy I only get with my tuned 54 Diana Air King Pro!

It was a bad day to try out a new air gun today, as we had 15 to 20 mph wind with gusts to 30 this afternoon, and severe storm watch for this evening. But I managed to stand at the side of the house resting my forearm hand on the corner and sighted it in at 22 yards after getting the stock back on it and scope leveled and mounted after it came around noon. Two shots low left, adjusted windage and shot 3 more, then adjusted up 6 clicks.



That was when momma decided we needed to go out for supper. So got around and took about a 45 minuet ride to a favorite grub spot. So about the time we left to come home the rain started, after about 10 minutes of light rain, it got real gusty and had about a 15 to 20 minute downpour. SI figured when I got home about sundown it would be to nasty to shoot it anymore with everything soaked, and blowing. To my surprise about 5 mile from home the sun was getting ready to appear and by the time we got in town the wind was dead.

Well after changing back into more comfortable clothes, I decided to try a group. Calm winds, and sill standing at the corner of the house, resting my forend hand against the corner of the house and took five shots at 22 yards.


Needless to say, Im extremely happy, as well as finished sighting in. The rifle was tuned with JSB Exact 8.4 grain diablo pellets. In all reality the same pellets I sighted in with above. But right where I wanted it, about .2" high at 22 yards. should give dead on aiming out to 35 to 40 yards on squirrel and starlings. anything rat sized.

Another Keeper, it just never ends, I hope!

There is no way to sell an air rifle using PayPal anymore. I sold an air rifle for $3500. The transaction was eligible for seller protection. I insured the package for $3000 and required a direct signature from the guy himself, Joseph. The package was delivered by UPS and signed for directly by Joseph himself with proof from UPS.

Joseph is a scammer and he already knew he was getting my gun for free. And he did. They have it figured out now. He actually claimed he never got the package. Even with all that proof, he got away with it. (I just gave some criminal a 9mm Full Auto Evanix Max for free.)

Don't sell a gun and accept payment through PayPal unless you are willing to lose it. As of January of this year PayPal changed their policy so they can do this to you. They did not get me because before they could charge me, I changed my bank account number. But now I have no PayPal account which I have had for 20 years.

If you really want to sell a gun sell it on ebay. Or you can do a buy/sell transaction through ebay it's just 12%. You can also accept a credit cards payment through Square.com ...not sure how that is protected now but I'm guessing Visa/Mastercard would not let a merchant get scammed.

SOLD

After a less than impressive purchase of a Sidewinder, I found a good deal on a Midas Tac 4-16X44 and it arrived today.
First impressions, The MT is a really nice scope. It is as clear as any scope I've ever looked through, no kidding. I've had some really nice scopes in the past, but this one beats them all in clarity. There is no discernable chromatic aberration or pincushion distortion, so the view is very nice. Like most scopes it gets a bit darker on 16X, but really not bad at all. Nothing like the Sidewinder. Turrets are great, nice tactile and audible clicks. Zero stop works great. Parallax was right on all the way, unlike the Sidewinder, which was way off. So far off, I had to make a tape for it, as it wasn't even close. The reticle is very good, with a numbered mildot, which is exactly what I like, because I get my count off sometimes and miss a shot. This way, I know where I'm supposed to hold. The center is open, with a tiny, tiny dot in the center, making accurate shooting easy. My only grips is it's not lighted, but I fully understand the money was put in the mechanics and lenses, and that is exactly how it should be. I tried a "off the rifle" tracking test, and it came out perfect, but i must admit, it's almost impossible to keep the scope solid. Eye relief is good, and head position at 16X is fairly critical, but it's not on the order of a lot of scopes, it's somewhere in the middle of the critical zone. One nice thing is that when your head is off, it goes completely black, so you either have it, or you don't, no graying or whiteouts, I like that. The eye distance is also fairly critical, but doesn't change much from high to low power, so it's pretty easy to deal with. It is far easier to look through than the Sidewinder at the same power settings.
I hope to get it on a gun tomorrow and do some shooting but the initial impression is that this could well be one of the best scopes I've ever owned. It is lighter than most in this range and is sized just right. After having this scope in hand, it makes me want to return the Sidewinder.

Recently purchased a raw 1000x 30 cal new to air guns wondering on what’s the quietest moderator out there.

I'm looking into getting a PCP for the first time. I had a break barrel Gamo whisper that served me well until it literally burned in a fire but this time around I want more power and a magazine/clip. I will be using this to deal with pests/rodents that like my chickens and cats' food as well as plinking. I'll also be teaching my children to shoot with it as they come of age. I doubt I'll modify my gun beyond putting a scope on it as I enjoy shooting more than tinkering.

I have found a used Mrod for sale; the guy is semi-local to me. He also joined recently but by searching the forums it seems he picked up the Mrod in a storage unit he bought so he doesn't know the history on it. It comes with an unspecified scope and a hill pump (and an expired SCBA bottle, which is probably just junk to me unless I can get it recertified).

Two questions:
Is the Mrod a good PCP beginner gun that will be reliable (with parts availability) for the long term?
After I am able to contact him (need 10 posts and a 10 day old account), what should I be on the lookout for?

Hello
I had a bad start a couple weeks back with a defective notos, bad orings and missing parts but got it straightened out.
My gf has taken a liking to the notos , i can tell because she says whay are you shooting my rifle lol.
So I thought I would 1 up her and get my own rifle , another one anyways.
I have a couple add ons coming from saber tactical later in the week .
Im looking forward to some good ole family shooting in the future.
Great forum you have here, thanks.

I've posted about my issues with 2 of my DAR rifles. Well, I just got a new Beeman Underlever Bullpup in 0.25 cal and right out of the box the trigger doesn't work. It takes anywhere from 2 to 10 tries pulling the trigger to finally getting it to fire. I tried adjusting the trigger but still no good so it's going back for a refund. That makes the 7th air gun I've purchased in the last 2 years that has been defective in one way or another. Six of them were China made junk. I don't think I had these issues with guns I bought years ago. But then most of them were made in England, Germany and the US. QC seems to be a forgotten step in the manufacturing process.

Recovery count of 33 iguanas.

All were taken with the GK1 .22 set up to shoot 21.9gr AEA pellets at 895fps. These pellets have so far shot the best at close and long distance 9ver the FX 18gr, 15gr, polymags, H&N 18gr, 15gr, 14.66gr, and Crosmans.

The furthest shot wast 73 yards, on top I have a monstrum panzer ED 1-10x24 FFP and it is perfect, the illumination is also very good on this optic.

Finally about to pull the trigger on my revere, and I'm torn between going reg or not. Price is a little bit of a factor, but I don't want to be stuck with 177 going unregulated. I don't shoot 177 anymore and have no plans to go back.

Also, does anyone have a revere in 25 cal? If they're as accurate as the 22s seem to be, I may go that route since it will be a stalking/hunting gun.

Too bad they don't offer an unregulated revere with foster fitting.

Last week I returned a Gen 3 0.22 cal DAR that I bought last September because it suddenly lost 250 fps in velocity. That gun had less than 100 pellets through it. Yesterday, I got out my Gen 3 0.25 cal DAR that I also bought last September. The first 15 or so shots were fine. I then topped it off to 3000 psi and shot it and immediately noticed a drop in velocity. After about 8 or 10 shots it seemed to be back up to shooting normally. I decided to air it back up and shoot a string over the chrony. I found that the first 6 shots gradually increased from 530 fps to 725 fps which was at a gauge reading of 2900 psi. The next 30 shots were 725 fps or more with a maximum of 780 fps with pressure of 2900 down to 1600 psi. Shots 36 to 50 dropped from 725 down to 510 fps. So, I thought maybe 3000 psi is too much pressure for some reason so I filled it up to only 2600 psi thinking that would be in the sweet range but wouldn't you know, it did the same thing with the first several shots being low on velocity. To top all this off, during doing this , the gun decided to randomly dump ALL the air and now it has a slow leak which it didn't have before. This is supposedly a regulated gun, I didn't think regulated guns had this bell shaped velocity curve?? Could this be a bad regulator? bad o-rings?

With all the fancy stuff emerging nowadays, does this quaint outfit still have a place? About 28 FPE with 22 cal. Rich wood stock. Close to standard rifle design, not the tactical look at all. It is also priced affordable. Why not? Sorry, it is the R10 SE.

Team Saber/Donny/Karma packing up!

A quick feel good clip to start your day!

I took these two guns out today and did some shooting. The old Bosler that was most likely made in the 1740's was recently resealed using modern materials.

The Bosler was shooting a .465 ball which is undersized and I had no patches on hand... needless to say, it's accuracy suffered.

Career was shooting 495 round balls.

Bosler, 750psi and it went 614FPS
Career, 3000psi and that went 617FPS

I need to get better fitting ammo for the Bosler and see what it does though...

Hi I bought a new air gun FX mark 3 bullpup what is the best compressed gas I can get to to use for this gun?
Thanks in advance

Zulus warning

I have had this scope for a few days now I have run into some problems that I did not realize till I played around with it. I hope this can help somebody on this form. I would like to see you add any other thing we run into.

1

I was watching the screen on my phone from my Wi-Fi when I would notice the screen would lock up. I would pick the phone up and move it towards the scope and the screen would start running again. I have figured out that you are not within 18 inches of the scope with your phone. same issue would be when you were downloading files it would show down.

2

The next problem that I ran into was did not realize there was an update firmware for the ballistics calculator, I could not upload any profiles until I uninstalled the app and reinstall it, and then had to reinstall all of my profiles .

3

So the next thing that I ran into was I have several profiles one is low power, and the other one was high power for the same rifle. One would be short range at 15 yards. If you use the rangefinder, it will tell you are out of range after 30 yards .

4

I had used this scope on a rifle that had recoil and after every shot, the scope would turn off realizing later I did not have the battery cap tight enough.

Wood stocks and springers have my attention these days.
Could not pass up this deal.

Can’t wait to get it

I have 2 air arms tx200s in 22 caliber one tx200 and one tx200 HC. When I run them over a chronograph they are at around 640 FPS with H&N FTT 14.66 gr. Is this normal or low. Thanks for any input Jimmy

Finally, I've got some bodies, these youngsters didn't listen to their momma and went out anyway. Seems that they were no match for my Maverick .25 Sniper using 26gr RMR/FX Hybrids at 1040fps. 52 yards, stiff wind from behind me.
