Hi.

Can anyone describe me what is the purpose of Saber Tactical Impact rail other than a fancy look? I can see one can clamp a barrel using that rail but... it is not the case. Just take a look.



The more torque I apply, the more the insert is pressed against the wall of the rail, not the barrel.

I do not understand that.

What is your experience with that? Have you observed any change in the accuracy?

Thanks.

I ordered a CF sleeve for my .22 600mm Impact Barrel and it doesn't fit in the Barrel Housing. Has anyone else run into this? I contacted the vendor, who immediately sent me another one and it doesn't fit either! The Barrel Liner fits fine inside the CF Sleeve, but the CF Sleeve is too large to fit in the steel Barrel Housing.

I measured both CF Sleeves I received and the outside diameter of the sleeve varies from 11.72mm at one end to 12mm at the other. The second measured 11.93mm at one end and 11.97mm at the other. The inside diameter of the steel Barrel Housing measures 11.66mm!

I have these CF Sleeves on other barrels and had no problems with them fitting at all. Everything else on the .22 barrel fits just fine, so I suspect maybe a bad batch of .22 CF Sleeves were sent to vendors. Just curious if anyone else has received a .22 600mm CF sleeve that did not fit in their Barrel Housing? Thanks for the help.

I have 6 PCPs. One unregulated. One regulated with a gauge on the plenum and on the air storage cylinder. Four with a gauge on only the air storage cylinder. I admit I like having the gauge on the plenum because it lets me know where the regulator is set making tuning a bit easier or at least more certain. But if I shoot the 4 without a gauge down to where the guns come off the regulator and look at the tank gauge I know where the regulator is set too. Just takes longer.

The disadvantages of the additional gauge are several. It costs a little more and getting it on the gun takes some additional engineering and may take more parts than just the gauge. Neither the plenum or the bulk storage gauge on my guns seem to be terribly accurate. If you shoot down to the level of the plenum gauge on the bulk storage gauge and your velocity is consistent you are left with indecision. Which gauge is at fault? What does it mean about filling the gun and setting the regulator?

But another more subtle issue it can create is the users may complain about regulator creep. Every time I see this complaint I wonder if the user is complaining because their velocity is changing or because the gauge doesn't seem to read the same as it did when they last looked at it. I'm thinking it more probably the latter. If the velocity is not changing how much difference does it make if the regulator did move a little? How do you know it isn't just the gauge? Remember they are not expensive ultra precise measurement tools.

I'm ambivalent about having two gauges. I see advantages of the extra gauge but I also like relatively small light guns. If it seems like the additional gauge is not there because they were trying to make the gun smaller or lighter or less complicated I am OK with it.

Opinions?

Just picked this up yesterday for $140 and I’ve got to say they really knocked it out of the park with this one.

So far as replicas go, it’s pretty meh. It’s not terrible, but it’s got a plastic stock, no magazine and it just doesn’t really look or feel that close to the real thing.

So far as just being an awesome BB gun goes, it’s spectacular. By BB gun standards it’s a tack driver. I shot a 5 round burst into an apple at about 8 yards and every shot hit and I was hitting 2” hanging targets at 15 yards with hardly any misses. It’s got great sights. It’s lightweight and points well. It gets a ton of shots from 2 CO2 cartridges. It loads up extremely easily. You fill the main reservoir with BB’s, 300 capacity, and then pull out the magazine rod which allows BB’s to fall into the internal magazine. You then push the magazine rod back in and you’re ready to go. The whole process only takes a few seconds.
That internal mag may not look authentic, but it sure makes loading BB’s quick and easy and unlike most similar BB guns you don’t have to buy any extra expensive magazines.

I can really only knock it for how heavy the trigger is and the overall cheap, plasticky look and feel of it.

Hey y'all! I'm pretty familiar when it comes to these two platforms albeit in different calibers.

I owned an Akela .22 for a year or two and took thousands of iguanas, and I have an XM1 in .25 of which I have taken atleast a hundred iguanas now and both are really nice platforms.

My questions is for those who have had their hands on both or either, of you could chike in on your experiences regarding shot count, pellet choice, max/min fpe l, noise, as well as out of the box experiences and if either gun has left you wanting more.

Yes, I have read the pages of members cutting the hammer spring on the Akela for a better shot cycle. And I have read through the comments regarding the XM1 being able to shoot JSB slugs.

getting out of break barrels. tunned , polished ,deburred. soaked seal, maccarri lubes. great trigger. havent shot in years. at one point sitting against tree shooting little nubs off trees at 23 yds. very accuarate. these came out to compete with FWB 124'S. ive had 4!!!! id rather have this one!better sights! beautiful shape $375 shipped call joseph 208-981-8504

I was in the kitchen cooking then looked out the window and saw my cat (actually kind of a wild cat that hangs around) crouched down at the corner of the shed stalking something. Grabbed the Notos, cracked the kitchen door open slightly, and stole the kitty's kill. Dropped without a flinch
I think the cat was so focused on the bird to the left, he didn't notice the bird I dropped on the right at first. Easy snack for him.

Hi everyone. First post and just getting into AG. Been in the firearm benchrest scene for nearly five decades. Local ranges are closing so I'm looking at more backyard friendly shooting opportunities. I have a few AGs for the purpose of pest control and introducing kids/grand kids to shooting but am looking at something a little more upscale to scratch the same itch I had while shooting BR. Anyway, I narrowed down a few choices and decided to start shopping. Literally every site out there has no inventory. Everything is sold out and backorder only. I'm not overly inpatient. I've waited years for custom built firearms and was given that expectation up front by the builders but every seller of airguns is quoting '4-6 weeks'. No problem. I wait and three months later they are still saying 4-6 weeks. Is there something going on in the AG supply chain? If so, I'm an understanding person but am not used to be deceived (if that's what's happening). Before I get too excited about it, can someone fill in the gaps for me?

Thanks!

…but, I mean, most of us do, right? So hear me out.

Had my eye on a BRK Sniper Magnum with the laminate stock in .22 for a few months but haven’t had any luck finding a used one and really can’t justify a nee one. I’ve almost jumped on a few other Snipers with synthetic stocks but haven’t yet.

In the meantime, I picked up a Lelya 2.0. It was a semi-impulse purchase as I was still looking for that BRK, but I’ve known of EDgun and the Lelya for a few years and always thought they were cool so I got it. I’ve only shot it a handful of times so far as life’s thrown our family several significant challenges in the past month and I simply haven’t had time. And time without any shooting is the enemy because then I troll the forums, including the classifieds (see where I’m going here?)…

Enter the EDgun Matador R3. I’ve been watching a ton of videos on EDgun and have come to appreciate their overall simplicity and ease of maintenance, as well as their robust nature and unique Russian styling. There was an R3 in .30 here that I failed to jump on due to the aforementioned craziness in life, but I now have a line on an R3 in .22 and an R3M in .25 (both standard length) at what I think is a decent price. But I wanted to check in here first, so I have a few questions:

1) Current value in R3s seems to hover around the $900-1000 mark depending on a few things (condition, optic, etc.). Does that seem correct?

2) The .25 M models seem less valued as the mag advancement pawl is often the wrong one and you have to manually advance the mag or risk shaving pellets. Was a fix ever released, or am I stuck manually advancing the mag if “mine” is an earlier model with problems?

3) For those who’ve owned both an EDgun R3 and a BRK Sniper, which did/do you prefer and why?

4) Anything in particular I should be looking out for on the EDs? I know the .30s needed the 3mm valve stem, but does that hold true for the .22s and .25s?

5) Has anyone had luck shooting heavies/MRDs from the R3? I seem to recall reading somewhere that Ed used a tighter 1:16 LW barrel that should help with heavies, but I can’t seem to find it again to confirm.

Uses include hunting out to ~100y and target shooting/plinking out to ~150y. I value rugged simplicity, reliability, and no zero drift. I want to be able to pick the gun up and go shoot once it’s tuned and zeroed.

If I can secure the deal on these, then the BRK will have to be on hold for awhile. I still very much want one, but the R3s seem like classics with easy maintenance and I really like how they look, so if their performance matches my needs then I’ll be OK waiting a bit. Am I crazy for wanting these older PCPs over a newer BRK? And based on my questions, am I expecting too much from them? Thanks!

Seems like others, including myself, aren't posting as much lately.

I've kind fallen off the last few weeks for various reasons, but a lot of topics just don't seem as interesting anymore. Old hat I guess.

It's also lead into me not tinkering or shooting as much either. The hot weather hasn't helped, and I've been busy with side jobs on the weekends that take up most of my time.

I just can't seem to get in the groove like I used too, and not much is getting me excited either. I've ran out of guns I want to buy or could afford, and I've got enough to cover the shooting I need.

Oh well, I guess the bright side is I'm not wasting pellets or splatter targets!

First humbling issue is using an artillery hold near the center of gravity. I've tried it on multiple guns with really no better results than my typical forward artillery hold. Therefore I've pretty much ignored the common CG recommendation. Wrestling with my 22 Weihrauchs at 50 yards has caused me to revisit the CG artillery hold. Target 1 is 10 shots with my normal forward artillery hold. Switching to CG on 2-6 showed immediate and marked improvement. To be sure I went back to my normal forward hold on #7. After confirming it doesn't I went back to CG on 8 &9. Only 8 is good. Somehow 9 was terrible. In fact one shot fell all the way down on the 12th target. After that I decided to try a different pellet

Just receiving a fresh tin of JSB 15.89s, I tried them with low expectations and my usual forward AH. Low an behold. All three targets immediately produced acceptable (to me) results for 50 yards. Throughout the years I've tested JSBs of this and lighter sizes in several Weihrauch 22s and never had great accuracy with them under 25 yards. In fact most of the time it was terrible. I was never sure if it was the pellet design or the perpetually bent thin skirts. They also don't make the power other stiffer skirted pellets do in Weihrauchs. So between low power, poor accuracy and lots of bent skirts I wrote them off.

Under 30 yards I've always had good accuracy and high energy numbers from FTTs. Since FTTs come in various head sizes that do make a difference in these rifles I've always touted them as the best pellet for 22 Weihrauchs. I'll have to eat a little crow on that now. These 15.89s are clearly more consistent and accurate than the FTTs at 50 yards. The JSBs still make less power (in this case 0.6 FPE) as I've experienced before, but at least I can stop pulling out my hair and hit the damn target at 50 yds. Just goes to show you're never too old to learn.

Be well all.
Ron

My goodness.

It really wasn't that long ago when the higher-end production gun starting points were in the $1,000-1,500 range. I remember even having sticker shock from that. That was a lot of money for an airgun. My non-airgun buddies used to think I was a crazy person for dropping that on what they saw as "pellet guns." But I would drop that occasionally. I felt the value was just barely there at those price points. Barely. Just enough to justify that incredible cost.

But now it looks like the new starting point for the higher-end guns is $2,200-2,500. About double the already astronomical prices.

I don't even know what happened. But these days I sure do find myself not buying the new offerings.

Did we do this to ourselves? Are the vendors just following suit with each other since we showed we would pay that as a community?
