THESE ARE THE NEW STYLE UTG PRO 30MM HIGH RINGS WITH QUICK DISCONNECT LEVERS 50 SHIPPED REALLY NICE RINGS JUST NO 30MM SCOPES

I just took a 10 yard body shot on this small coyote. It fell over. Reviewed video. As far as the 5 seconds of fame. You will see I killed it with the body shot. Easy.

Now the animal is about 30lbs.small.

Used Nsa 38.5 grain slugs @910 fps. 10 yard shot. Just rolled over and died after a few twitches.

Will process video in the next few days. Maybe include some skwirrel

Airgun is FX impact m3 25 cal

Was a frontal shot. Animal facing directly towards me

I have been working since April of this year with three or four other members of the forum who have been kind enough to test my work. It's been very frustrating at times because progress hasn't been as fast as I had hoped it might be. In order to establish a standard reference moderator I tested a number of commercial moderators, two Donnie's and a "no name" commercial, in addition to sending a couple of dozen moderators to different testers. I built baffles of various types and researched valves. I looked at a whole lot of pictures of silencer guts. I built some of those and modified them and tested them. I have written so much OpenScad code that I am dreaming in code again. Now here we are. A better engineer would have done it in a third the time (or less), but we have arrived.

In the end I chose the stock Stormrider moderator as my reference moderator because it was so surprisingly good. A microphone placed at 3 o'clock, 15 ft away and 4 ft off the ground routinely read 67.5 decibels for that moderator. I tweaked it with a chain saw file (notched the conical baffles) and got it down to 66 decibels and have been using it as my reference moderator since then. My goal has been to build one that beats that.

This section of the forum is littered with threads discussing different types of baffles I have tried, arguing with and getting advice from other members. Special thanks to @MikeVV for motivating me to research microphones and test equipment and @qball, @woogie_man, and everyone else who opined in particular that more baffles wasn't "more better." The feedback from the guys testing has been very important and I'd thank them publicly but I'd rather they step up and take a bow if they feel like that. That way I don't "out" them if they would rather remain quiet.

Just before EBR, while one of my testers was preparing for it, a moderator that I shipped him for a 22 caliber Daystate failed spectacularly due to a bad glue up and a weak design.

I was frustrated and upset and just about ready to quit. Mind you I had been getting good reports but I was discovering that it's very hard to build a competitive moderator at a low price point.

I am happy to report that this moderator exceeds the performance of the stock Stormrider moderator by two decibels and it is easier on the eye!



I tested accuracy this morning.


The moderator is so tight that it required about 70 shots to settle down and shoot groups as good as it does with the stock moderator and the H&N FTTs I am shooting. Generally those are 9 shot groups about the size of a dime at 25 yards, a nickle at 30 yards, and a quarter at 40 yards. The moderator settled in and I adjusted zero. It is going to wear this moderator for the rest of it's life, I expect. Now I am not trying to say these are good groups. I am saying that this is as good as this rifle groups with these pellets. These were shot at 30 yards in a very light breeze.






Now here is the good news:
I am going to build these and sell them, probably on EBay. The one in the image on my Stormrider is a .177. It is very, very, quiet. This morning with my standard test setup. It tested at 64 dB average over 9 shots with a standard deviation of about 1 dB. That is a full 2 dB better than the stock moderator performs. Each will be available in .177, .22, and .25. They can be had with 1/2 UNF printed threads, 1/2 UNF helicoil threads, and the M10x1.0 Stormrider printed threads. The helicoil threads will cost more. I have not calculated that cost yet. Other threads can be made available, contact me via PM if you want me to make a certain thread.

I intend to keep them on EBay to begin with and sell them as I build them, rather than try to keep up with orders. I have sold other items in the past and really prefer to have the unit in hand before I take someone's money. So EBAY ...

I will post information here as to what you should search on when I have the first one up there.

Ok, let’s not go full fanboy / hater tit for tat as a lot of these posts do. It’s no secret I’m not an FX fanboy, however, I have bought many of their guns. 3 wildcats, 1 streamline, 1 dreamtac, 1 maverick compact, 5 of these have been sold. Now I finally have an impact coming. As with any other gun I will put rounds through and see how the “feel” of it is. My deal is these guns perform smoothly, but always felt delicate in my hands. The maverick compact has a nice place of it’s own, hopefully the impact proves irresistible. Anyways, no one can fault me for not giving FX a chance! Lol!

Testing the waters on trading my 25 maverick for a 22 cal bullpup. Right now I'm open to see what's out there. Pm if interested and we can exchange photos and information

Note: Donny FL Emporer moderator is not included, but if you want to pay the Donny FL price for it I can throw in the apapter for free. The Emporer is .457. The gun will come with the standard endcap (not shown).

I bought an EG2 right at a year ago. Maybe has two mags through it. I have resurrected for dealing with field rats. I've had the valve apart few times and been through all of Edgun West's videos. Valve seems fine now. Original issue was air leaking out during shots. Basically pull the trigger and massive air blast but pellet never shot.

Latest is unable to pressurize the tank. Air is escaping through the power port part. I did upgrade to the CF bottle. No leaks around that.

Mystery to me.

Thought I would ask around about my issue!

Thanks,

Hey guys got a question about my new rifle (hatsan 135 qe carnivore .30 cal) been trying to zero my rifle/learn to shoot it right considering I keep hitting high from not holding it right I assume(I have the elevation as low as it goes so not much more I can do about that)? But one thing I've had to do is adjust the windage pretty far to the left to compensate for it shooting to the right a good bit as well, it wasn't until my buddy, at a glance, asked me if it was bent a bit that I really looked at it and confirmed it was curved slightly. I know that a perfectly straight barrel isn't really a thing no matter the barrel quality but I'm curious if this is something I should be worried about in terms of it being a defect or not? I'm starting to get it to hit where I aim, more or less, but still thought I'd get some more experienced opinions and perspectives to broaden my own. Thanks a bunch guys!

So you are thinking about getting your first “high-end” air rifle…?



I thought I’d share with you some of my experience… and advice.


I own FX (Maverick & Dreamline), Daystate, RTI, Benjamin, Umarex, Beeman and Weihrauch rifles.


I have access to a machine shop and have fabricated parts, modified and polished triggers, added regulators, modified hammer springs and valves, polished barrels, bolts, triggers, transfer ports. I’ve stripped and refinished stocks. I’ve made moderators and modified them. I’ve even worked on both hand pumps and compressors. In short, I’ve spent lots of time “tuning” and modifying air rifles… except one.


The one rifle I have not touched is my Daystate Huntsman .22. It is unregulated. It is pretty. It is perfectly balanced. It is short, lightweight and easy to carry. I screwed on a small moderator. That’s it. I have not even adjusted the trigger pull weight (11 ounces). I simply took it out of the box and shot it - always with JSB 15.89g pellets. I’ve had the rifle for a year.


Yesterday, I filled her to 250 bar and fired off 60 shots. Attached are the shot string and picture of the 6 ten-shot groups.


Advice:

If you are going to own one rifle that does everything, this is my recommendation.


Learnings:

You will note that at 40 yards distance (121.16 feet - measured with a green laser accurate within 2 millimeters @ 100 yards), all ten-shot groups fit within a US dime (I pulled one shot) - and I’m just firing off groups, not “super aiming”, lol. Pellets are not weighed - straight from the tin. These 6 groups are typical - I’ve had some outstanding ones in the past - but these are typical of how the gun always shoots.


You will also note that at 40 yards, the point of impact did not change over the 45 fps spread of the unregulated shot string. I didn’t touch the scope or change my point of aim between shots/groups. Notice that PoI did not rise or drop noticeably over the 60 shots at 40 yards.


The Huntsman is only 42” long - WITH the moderator. It has a shrouded barrel and is backyard quiet with a small moderator. It is shooting with 27-28 foot pounds of power. This is enough to shoot any bird, rat, squirrel, rabbit, groundhog or skunk. The nice size, weight and ergonomics make it an easy gun to shoot accurately.


So ask yourself, what is your use case for a pellet gun…? If you need a gun that can put every shot within a dime out to 50 yards - with enough power for small game - with great ergonomics… and that requires NO TUNING - just take it out of the box and shoot it… then the Daystate Huntsman could be your 1st choice.


A key learning for me is that guns with infinite adjustments, multiple regulators and 50+ o-rings offer no real advantage for a typical pellet gun use-case - which is to shoot stuff accurately out to 50 yards. I’ll bet my Huntsman could do pretty well even at 100 yards - if I’m able to do my part.


I don’t work for Daystate, lol. I even own another gun that I believe is more accurate (RTI Prophet Performance). Just offering the benefit of my experience if you are looking for a simple, accurate, reliable higher-end rifle.

Ok total noob question, bear with me. If i fill the tank on my pcp at sea level, and drive to higher elevation, say 6000+ feet elevation. Could that be disastrous for my rifle or me??

I added a Huma Shroud and Huma regulator installed by Motorhead. Tuned to just over 11 ft/lb. The stock screw has been changed to a silver color one.

I’m kinda new to PCP but expert enough to realize how much money I’ve spent looking for the perfect rifle and caliber.

# to blaming is YouTube and me not doing my diligence as not all but some YouTubers have an agenda and quotas to meet.

Funny how I started and got on the super powerful and fancy rifles only to get back to the old 22 and 17 caliber and heavy duty indestructible rifles.

If you can start over knowing what you know now what rifle and caliber would you buy and why ?

Thank you
