I’m looking for opinions on the best chronograph for benchrest shooting. I used an FX Ballistic Chrony at the Pyramyd Benchrest Finals, but it didn’t work well—it picked up other shooters’ shots, missed mine, and then locked up my phone app. I could have adjusted the sensitivity, but I didn’t want to get distracted during the finals. I realized my poor performance in the second qualifying round was likely due to a change in velocity (I just eeked into the finals), which I fixed during the warm-up for the finals. Moving forward, I plan to mount a chrony on the side or bottom rail.

I have the original FX Pocket Chrony, which has been reliable, but I’m considering upgrading to the Garmin Xero. Many users report zero issues with the Xero. Has anyone used the Xero in a crowded benchrest setting? Any issues with interference or missed shots?

Other options I’m considering are the FX V2 Pocket Chrony and the Labradar LX. The FX V2 is cheaper (I don't mind using my phone for readings), but I’m unsure how it would perform in a congested benchrest environment. The Labradar LX is intriguing because it offers readings at 20 to 30 yards in addition to the 0-yard reading, which could be useful for BC calculations. However, I’ve heard it has issues with missed shots, similar to the original Labradar. Any experience with the Labradar LX in benchrest?

Any suggestions or experiences to share?

Thanks!

I bought this TX200 new from Pyramid Air. It is a .22 caliber. Beautiful walnut stock. I with a Vortek PG4 spring upgrade system ...

Frankly, there was no buzz or other issues with the OEM I just wanted to see how it works. I will include original OEM parts if a person wanted to go that route, but the Vortek is superior.

This rifle is in pristine condition. It has never left my house or deck. I've shot starlings and English Sparrows with it. It hits hard and is extremely accurate

I will include the Hawke scope and its box for an extra $100 (it is a 2x7 and perfect for this springer).

$625 without scope and $725 with scope. Please help with shipping for $25.

I take PP or Money Order.

First PM "I'll take it" gets it.

Just looking for opinions on the best slug for 0.25 FX m4 impact for rabbits and foxes

Total time pumping to fill at 9L tanks was only 3 hours and 29 mins. This is 12.9L per minute when the specs on a CS4 is only 11L/min. A 17% better performance than expected. How can this be? I boosted the input pressure, starting at 10 PSI down to 2 PSI depending on the tanks pressure. I used a watt meter on the input to the power supply and kept the AC watts consumption of the power supply to <=480W by periodically lowering the input air pressure to the compressor as the tank's pressure rose. The water temp varied from 112 to 115.4F. The water was higher when the input watts were higher. Not a single drop of water from the vent tube. Vented once at 150 bar and then at the end at 300 bar. I used a small tampon type filter on the output with very small amount (less than 2cc) of silica beads with indicating color to check if water was going into the tank. No change in color of the beads! I have a large >1 quart silica desiccant filter at 90 PSI upstream from the input to the CS4. It was recently filled with new beads, all orange in color. At the end of filling the tank the top 1" of the filter is clearly green in color the rest of the 9+ inches are still orange.

I'm happy with the CS4 so far. If it last 200 hours runtime I would say it was a good value. I have about 8 hours on is so far. If it breaks tomorrow it was a bad value.

Just got it today and tried only 2 shots.

10.65 H&N 795 fps
7.4 Crosman 896 fps

Un-moderated the gun is way too loud to shoot too many times in my backyard. Anyone hearing it would think it was a real gunshot! If I shot a quick semi-auto string it surely would raise unwanted attention. Stock settings the GK1 is more powerful (and loud) than my .177 Vixen with a much longer barrel.

Next step 3d printing some moderators to tame the beast!

Hi all i have a 25.maverick sniper 700mm got slug power kit And slug liner i have watched loads of videos on tuning and how to go about setting regs ect. can someone get me in the ball park to shoot 37gr zans what reg settings do i need? And what speed should i be aiming for?
Thanks new to this!

I'm wanting to see if anyone would be interested in trading. I have a full length. 25 condor, ar style grip, 3d printed butt stock and thread adapter for moderator. I'm open to all trades.

Kind of neat. New to me at least, found it on Amazon. Not the cheapest price and maybe more decorative than useful.

I’ve got to say right up front. I had a wonderful experience at EBR this year. Everyone was very friendly and helpful the entire time. I’m already making plans to attend next year. But I’ll save my plans and experiences for a later post.
My 2nd qualifying card was quite a wonderful experience. As in the past, sat down with air full and magazines full. One difference this year. I wasn’t using the FX magazines. I elected to use my Montster magazine. Because it holds 30 shots in the .30 caliber. The clock was set and 30 minutes started. I began with shooting sighters, one shot, two shots, three shots and finally a forth shot. I was ready to move up. What happened next was crazy. I shot the next 25 shots nonstop, 29 shots total. I never stopped to fill my gun or my magazine. It happen so fast I hadn’t even realized that one magazine had completely completed my work.
When I stopped, I pulled the magazine out to safety up the gun. That’s when I realized what just happened. I shot the entire thing with out a magazine change. Opening the magazine, there was one pellets left. I turned around to show a friend. When the announcement came “don’t forget about the pellet challenge “..
I turned around and stuck the magazine with one pellet in the gun. And shot the pellet challenge.
I had just completed my 2nd round card with one magazine.
I scored a 232 and advanced on to finals.
In the end, I managed to finsh 3rd over all using my Montster magazine the entire time.

Ok ,got your attention now. MENTION SLR , eyes raise up..

So those who know ,know that ..
1. Theoben seals are like a fine women. … great when they are working ,but extremely hard to find
2. They tend to be soft and burn easily ( Probably from over psi for extra cowboy ft lbs)
3. One man has them and has a monoply on them and will not sell them UNLESS you send the gun to him .. oh yeah. THEY ARE let’s say $$$$

4. AAAND , finely a poor design in my opinion. A soft cast seal that depends on a shoulder button inserted into the piston itself. I’m SORRY THEOBEN GUYS.. THERE ARE BETTER DESIGNS. Simple HW HEAD THAT TAKES A UNIVERSAL SEAL. . ITS ,OK, Air Arms dropped the ball to,on their Pro Elite to. ( I’m firing lasers today )
5. The Zepher or however it’s spelled. (Got to watch out for Karl now ) , DOES NOTHING for power . Nothing a standard cup seal wouldn’t do. Flame …. I hear it now,, ” it’s for heat transfer”. …… “ it channels the magic air” ….. “it gives softer recoil”…..

If you believe that ,”I have some ocean front property in Arizona ”. GS . I’ll sell ya.

SO , I’m testing a design I saw on a UK form that uses a 27.5 mm seal. ( fits the SLR AS IM SURE OTHERS WELL, EXCLUDING ELIMINATORS)
It’s a delrin plug with a tapped center with 4 legs that spread and grap the interior ledge on the piston.

This is a 12 ft lb gun, with light weight cocking and short stroke. Heats not a big issue . ( unless the power cowboys get their hands on a pump)

I am sure a O-Ring design would work well to. I’m not saying that if you have a factory gun this is a better Idea. It’s a work around without modifying anything on the gun,so as you can go back to 100% original if you want or find a factory seal.

For the record, If I owned this gun ,I would be shooting it weekly. I don’t watch them collect dust.. A TOOL unused is USELESS.

Am I planning on making them for sale. Nope. It was a work around until or ,IF ,THE OWNER WANTS TO GO BACK.

Just for you Theoben fans. I will do a post on the re build when complete. I’m doing full stock refinish and re- blue.

DISCOVERYOPT 30mm rings showed up today & was pleasantly surprised. There is some thin protective goo they put on the raw aluminum internal area. Easily removed though. I alcohol all my ring internal anyway. They are spec'd as 7075. The are matched & numbered. They have the torque sequence & torque lbs . The alignment pins from top cao to main body is new for me & like it.. For $40. I feel they would be hard to beat. I got alot of rings from high $ to not & most of the not's never make a home on my shooting devices. They seem to come in 30mm 34mm & 35mm & in 4 different height's .95-.97-1.26-1.45
My other favorite cheap rings were Athalon but I think I will just get these now while I can. They also come in nice case that hold the 2-spare screw bolts & torx wrench. Nothing rattling around smacking against each other in case. Just thought for $ 40 I should share this info.

Ok,I had to get aproval before I posted from the owner.

This was a older BEAR on the side .177 that was built to shoot 10.3 pellets. Its been striped re blued a satin finish and a custom spring as well as top hat and new seals. Acording to the owner he is hitting 50 yard 3 inch spinners consistently.

Custom muzzle brake and hood sight set up for factory irons.

Refinish beech stock to a ebony finish and Satin re blue.

Pillars added to the forearm bolts.

Re choked and crowned.

Cocks as his words, “ like a Hw 50, but hits like a normal R1“

Stock was stripped, a iron oxide solution was used to water pop and dyed with black aniline dye.

A factory finish was the goal but black ebony .. Checkering was chased but sprayed to give factory look of original Beeman Goudy stocks.

15 ft lbs and fun gun to use. I Knew it was a shooter as I sighted with irons before shipping ..Holding three shot groups at 15 yards all touching and I’m NOT a iron sight guy.

Hello, I'm curious as to what kind of life expectancy (total hours) I can expect from this unit. I bought it lightly used and so far its working very well for my needs. I'm just curious how soon I should be budgeting for a new one.

Secondly, what lubricant are people using for it?

Which slug do you guys use in your .25 slug liner?

Best I can get out of my 600mm King .25 at the moment is an inch at 50 yards, 115-120 bar, large wheel 19, small wheel 2.75 plus one or 2 clicks, with .250 H&N 34 grain.

(tried a bunch of others, all lighter than 34)

At 35 yards various slugs will go hole in hole, but at 50 is where the trouble starts, they start to go off course.

If shooting at a clear background I can clearly see them spiraling wildly. I'm thinking perhaps the twist rate is just too fast for them.



Go heavier?

A list of all the participants and where they finished has been posted on the EBR website. Here is a link if you are interested in seeing the results and where your friends and favorite shooters placed.


Thx
Dan

Like new, never been shot off hand always on a bench and bipod.

Always in a nice padded hard case when not being used. Less than 300 rounds through it.

Reg is set at 175-180 bar, and gets 70 fpe for 2 full mags. Prefers JTS 45.06 and they're averaging 835 fps. Not problems stacking pellets at 40 yards. Never pushed further.

Comes with the extra parts and o-rings that came with the gun, 1 factory mag, and an almost full tin of its preferred dinner. Comes in the original box as well.

Absolutely mint condition and no leaks at all.

$450 shipped CONUS PayPal or CashApp please

Hello all! I posted about selling my B-40 and lickety split I got a lung cancer diagnosis followed by RSV and 3 hospitalizations for pneumonia and I have been pretty sick. I’m asking $150 for the B-40.

I had a few squirrels running amuck in the yard, so I decided to grab the mini tac. I came out the side door and had one at the first bait/backstop location.

I took and offhand shot and just grazed the ear and it took off. The other 2 further out back scattered when they saw their buddy book it outta there.

I was going to put the gun away, and heard a couple starlings up in my tree. Got 2 of them, and had a 3rd I hit low who flew off and dropped out of clean up range.

Bought one as a project gun. Was not expecting it to sound like a .22 magnum carbine. My god immediate fear my neighbors would call the police. Do any of you in AGN land own a chief, and have you any experience with the available Lane regulator? Is it worth the $85 to regulate? I'm waiting on the buckrail Moderator system to arrive Saturday before I bother clocking the shot curve. Anyone know which pellets it might enjoy?. I've got 10.3jts and baracuda match as well as CPHP 8's .

Studmagloader + JSB Hades Monster

Does anyone know anything about these? At 825 fps they would be at 100 FPE which is max for many competitions, especially EFT. The head shape looks more like the 45s than the 50.5s... BC may or may not be better than the 50.5, I'm sure we'll see soon. I ordered a couple of tins to test.

Thinking about selling the m60b 30 cal. Less than 300 shots thru it, I just don't have the space to really shoot this gun. Getting rid of my big bores since my 25s can cover everything I need.

I can post pics if interested, but it's basically new. Never been shot without being on a bipod and on a bench.

Will be asking $450 shipped.

PM if interested.

I would like to adjust the regulator to about 1k. Is that possible and how to do it? Charles
