I received my HW97 about a week ago. During that time I’ve shot about 400 rounds at paper, cans and shotgun shells. In my practice I’ve adjusted the trigger down probably too much. I’ve spent many hours sighting in, first at 20, then 40 and finally settled on 35 yards. Most of my pests will be between 30 and 40 yards.
Today I sat waiting for the pesky squirrels to show themselves. I’m shooting off a bag using a 14.3 pellet.
Patience finally paid off. I had two confirmed kills and a third hit but wounded. The two kills were head shots. One looking at me, right between the eyes and the other one a profile headshot that bled like a stuck hog. Distance for each was 33 and 36 yards.
I am posting to say that when you practice and do everything right you are rewarded with success. It instills confidence in yourself and in your weapon. The squirrels are about to go under for the winter but I’ll be waiting when they wake up.

I am out at the ranch we manage for a few days. Cleaning up and getting ready for winter and to be here for opening of bird season to keep people from hunting without permission.
Earlier this year the guy who farms it asked me to shoot any and all badgers I saw as his hay fields were being damaged heavily by them.
Today I was out driving around looking for some old baling twine to put garden hoses up for the season and ran across this guy.
He was at about 60 yards maybe a taste over. Put a 30 cal Hades through his front shoulder and into the vitals. He made it about 3’ before collapsing.
It was working its way away from me.and I did not want to shoot any further than I was, so when it turned broadside I shot for the shoulder. Pellet hit a bit lower than I wanted it to but it expired quickly.
I did not open it up to see what damage was done but I am guessing the heart was involved as fast as it went down.
This Panthera Compact Hunter may be the new truck gun. I would not have taken the shot with my Maverick 25 Compact. The extra 40+ fpe came in handy.
before anyone asks, no the bottle was not rolling around the back of my truck. I had just finished airing the gun up and moved it and the baling twine out of the way For the picture.

I just ordered A RTI P3 performance from talon tunes! Man can’t wait to shoot that thing. Squirrels beware!

I am shooting a Daystate Wolverine 25 cal using a 39 g pellet at 839 ft/sec. My holdover at 70 yards is 6”. Does this seem normal or excessive?

Evening everyone,

I promised myself earlier this year that I would not purchase any new RC airplanes this year and none in 2025. So far so good, still several to build. Unfortunately my wife has noticed my lack of spending money on things she disapproves of so something must be done. I’ve given some thought to a bull pup since i don’t have one. The only specs I have are .177 or .25, pcp, wood stock, seven shot or more magazine and I want to operate the action similar to a biathlon action. Quick, smooth and reliable. Lower power scope or red/green dot sight, it has to look good and carry well and be able to live in a soft case in my truck. Cost under $500. What is available that fits these specs?

Where I live, squirrels are a nuisance and there’s no season on them. Shot quite a few and never did anything wit them.

My thoughts are that living in the city, I have no idea what they may have gotten into or eaten, and therefore I haven’t thought eating them to be a good idea.

Any other city people eat any squirrels they shoot?

IF YOU'RE READING THIS, IT'S STILL AVAILABLE

I don't see any electronics on this rifle.... Wolverine replacement?? Any ideas??? Looks like a new cylinder too ... Or maybe a Brocock rifle the mags on the table looks Brocockish.....just saying ...... definitely looks like a great bench rest rifle.....

Hello all. What tools or gadgets do you guys use to install these very tiny o rings such as for regulators. I had to replace some o ring in a regulator about a year ago and those damn things are a pain. I got it on eventually after tearing up two and its all good now. So just wondering if you guys use anything that would make replacing these tiny o rings easier.

Reximex Meta in excellent condition, comes with case,2 mags and all that comes with new. NV400 Commander scope has box and papers in it as well. All works perfect. 1000 shipped or trade for a solid 22 or 25 bullpup.

Just curious, when you left your FX Impact M4 overnight and shoot it the next day, the very first shot you took in the follow day does the velocity changed from the previous day?


If there's no change in velocity no matter how long the gun left unused, then it should indicate everything is working as it should.

If it's lower in the first couple of shots, then went back to the same velocity as previous day, then it could possibly mean there's a small slow leak in the plenum or the reg right?

If it's higher in the first or 2nd shot the next day, then drop back down to the same velocity as previous day, then that's possibly a sign of reg creep, when more air creeping into the plenum overnight


Not taking about POI or anything, just the velocity alone.

I have a nearly pristine AR Challenger HFT. It is tuned from AR to shoot 18 fpe and I've included a chrony string to show what it's capable of. It is deadly accurate, as are all AR custom rifles.
I really hate to let this one go, but I haven't shot it much, and have just been shooting other rifles and it sits, so it's time to let someone enjoy this fantastic rifle. Target is 30 meters
No scope or rings included
$800 shipped in con US

i have a pretty inexpensive $50 scope..... the

CVLIFE Rifle Scope 6-24x50 AO Red and Green Illuminated Long Range Scope for Hunting with Scope Rings​

it has good reviews on amazon but we all know amazon reviews are not always indicative of the product.....

i was wondering how good or bad it is .. i am not expecting great optics but hopefully good enough....... besides my eyes are not as good as they used to be.... i am really hoping it will just stay zeroed and i would be happy with that. FWIW i am putting it on a brand new air venturi Avenger .25 cal.

many thanks and happy shooting all!

Considering it's been a while since I've opened a match report with an apology, anyone that knows me probably suspected that couldn't last for long! See how 'artfully' I avoided doing so this time?

All six shooters attending last Saturday's BRS match (almost A WEEK AGO) contested the 100 Foot Pound Pellet class. Jim Byrd prevailed for the coveted Match Winner hat-pin with a 33/40 score posted with his Athlon scoped .30 caliber FX Impact, shooting 45.06 grain JTS pellets 880 FPS. His 33/40 was also high score of the day... by a very wide margin. Great shooting, Jim!

Jim Clarke was second in 100 Foot Pound Pellet Class with an excellent 28/40 score. JC shot 33.95 grain JSB pellets 960 FPS in his Hawke scoped .25 Red Wolf. Good shooting, Jim.

Jim Byrd also won the (100 FP maximum) Slug class by posting a 26/40 score with his Athlon-scoped .25 Vulcan 3, shooting 50 grain Altoros slugs 885 FPS. Good shooting, JB.

The Clarke Jim dominated the three-shooter 30 Foot Pound Pellet field by posting the same 26/40 score the Byrd Jim posted in winning Slug class. Fine shooting, JC! Jim shot 18 grain JSB pellets 930 FPS in his Hawke-scoped .22 Red Wolf in that fine 35 Foot Pound performance, for 34.9999901 foot pounds. Yes, I exaggerate; he had almost a half foot pound to spare. Good shooting, Jim.

As for why this match report is so late in coming, my excuse is exactly that. I have been very busy trying to keep up with maintenance, repairs and modifications of seemingly everything in Ronny World breaking down faster than I can keep up. About the time I get one vehicle, mower, airgun, crossbow, arrow(s), home-upkeep, or (high priority) HOT TUB fixed, TWO MORE everythings go down!

Consequently I'll CLOSE this match report with an apology... and by repeating myself.

See how 'artfully' I avoided opening this match report with an apology?

Take it away, Bob-


.

…is superior to all preceding models!



Straight out of the box and I don’t feel the need to adjust anything. What a great improvement

Can barrels be swapped between 177 and 22 with no extra parts needed? Obviously, magazines and probably baffles if going from 177 to 22.

I thought I read somewhere that this is the case.

I currently have a Leshiy 2 Sparrow and it's been great with slugs. For the M4 I did get the FX slug liner kit, looking for a scope now and also ordered a DonnyFL Ronin.

What other mods have you done to your M4 or M3 to make it perform better, this will be shooting under 100 yards and used for varmints etc.

Please, help me choose.

JTS Airacuda Max or Reximex Tormenta

Which of the two would be more accurate, reliable, better quality and better 'feeling' PCP .25 air rifle?
Anything similar for about under 600$, which would be better?

Does anyone know the history of the Marauder line of PCPs? I'm looking for information on generations (1, 2, etc) and models within each generation. Thanks.

Scott SCBA valves CGA 347 , 7/8 - 14 UNF threading. These valves show little to no use. If you have a leaky or hard to turn fill valve , here is your solution.

Hi fellas, wondering what is best commercial suppressor for a rifle delivering 98 FP with no shroud.
What you would buy?
cheers

Has anyone heard where when JTS is coming out with their underlever? Feel like it was debuted at shot show or something a year or so ago. Love the ammo just need the (another) gun and had hoped to add the JTS springer to the collection.

For a week I receive the following when trying to reach Airgun Technology web site:
