This may, or may not interest some of you; Having worked my way up and down the Airgun food chain, including associated equipment; cheap to expensive to stupid expensive for the last 3 years, I’m finally settling in, or zeroing in on my TWO current favorite's, one is a bullpup, the other a traditional rifle. Still waiting on my carbine version of the Thomas
to come Jan 2025.
Presently:
The Brocock Ghost bullpup in carbine form, in .177 caliber with a 300cc bottle with a Sightron S-Tac 4-20X50 scope for general pesting and plinking; but also works great for HFT. For precision like Benchrest I change the Ghosts bottle to a 700 cc and use the 28” Fady K. World Record Barrel in .22. I also switch to a higher power Bench Rest type scope.
With a Ghost I can choose any of 5 different barrels in 4 different calibers.
The Ghost is an amazing and highly adaptable platform that I can shift from any popular caliber to the next in less than 10 minutes; especially once you have learned and recorded your tunes! 5 shots after caliber change it’s settled and ready to go.
Next up is:
Daystate’s Redwolf “not hp” in .177. I use it mainly for my obsession with HFT using Sightron’s newest S6 FT offering pushing 13.4’s at 810 FPS. I have the HP version also but for my general use the non HP is my preferred. You have three tunes available; I chose low pwr WFTF legal 8.44’s at 715 FPS, HFT legal med pwr 10.3’s at 888 FPS, and HFT legal high pwr is 13.4’s at 815 fps.
For EFT or UFT or whatever you call it, I’m using a Daystate Redwolf in .25 cal with a Sightron S3 PLR for 20-100 yards shooting with JTS 33 gr Diablos at 910 FPS.
Meanwhile
If you’re into pistols, I’m still sorting my pistol passions but for HFT <12 fpe, my .20 cal RAW TM 1000 is stellar out to 55 yards using a Sightron S-Tac 4-20x50. I get over 200 shots with this setup on a single fill.
The Marauder <12 HFT pistol built by Airgun Revsions comes in a definite 2nd using the same scope but with Benji 10.65’s; but the small air tube means refilling is required during a match.
Most recently I’m fiddling with the Brocock Atomic .177 currently shooting 8.44’s set for <12 fpe but I’m wanting to try it at <20 fpe for extreme pistol FT; also using the S-Tac 4-20x50.
The Atomic like the Marauder pistols are lightweight but because of air consumption, last on my list, as are most tube type PCP’s are because its wise to carry an additional air source with you.
How have you come full circle with your choices?
box. Inside I found the Thomas had been converted to a pneumatic drill. Hold the train, wake me up!!! Whew…. Only a dream. Perhaps this is what happens when you think your airgun can drill a hole within a hole like most Thomas owners can do on a good day.
for the TX200HC. No longer have a TX200HC and found these new parts while doing some clean-up. If you want to service and or replace the cocking lever, here is what you'll need to do so. $65.00 CONUS/SHIPPED. PayPal Friends & Family or Zelle.
! I really want Strelok back!!
