At what point did they tack on the Tarriff fee?

Was it Upon entry to the Philadelphia Depot? or after Koln/Cologne Pre clearance Ctr?

A few days later when I got the UPS email with tracking. UPS added the tariff not Krale. It was a separate invoice from UPS

Yes, I rejected the package to avoid paying the $860 import fees. UPS driver said package would automatically go back to Krale. But he was mistaken.

I'm dealing with Krale right to get P35X back to them and my refund minus any fees.

Specifically...

- I called Krale this morning, 2025-05-16, and they said package will stay with UPS and not automatically go back to Krale.
- If I agree via email to pay Krale the shipping fee from UPS back to Krale, then then it would go back to them for my refund.
- Krale also said that the tariffs have now been lowered from 145% to 30% and I had two options.

Option #1: Deal with UPS and try to get them to release the package to me any pay the now lower 30% tariff. Initially it was 145% or $860.

Options #2: Deal with Krale by agreeing via email to pay the shipping back to them. Krale rep said it should be around $70-$100. Then I would get my refund.

I chose Option #2 because it should be cheaper than Option #1, and Krale easier to deal with than UPS.

Krale said this process will take time, and I will give status updates when I have them.

Congrats on the 197 40-Masters Tommy, fantastic card!

Interesting that the JTS 22.07 maintain excellent accuracy (remain stable) at almost 1,000fps.

When I got into PCPs a few years back, the consensus was that diabolo shaped pellets lose stability and start to spiral as you approach the “trans sonic” velocity region of 950+ fps. The thought back then was 850-880fps was the best velocity region for max speed with stability.

As PCPs have evolved, it seems barrel technology keeps improving - with slower twist rates and “smoother“ polygonal type rifling now allowing much higher velocities with pellets.

How loud is that RAW when shooting 22.07s at 990fps? Probably not “backyard friendly“, but definitely laser accurate.

Thanks Ed.

I was surprised also. I was ready to turn down the HS but didn’t have to touch it. This is the same tune that I use for the 25.39g MRDs at 930-940 FPS range. Martin set it up for the MRD at this velocity.

I think the competition BR shooters found that 970 FPS was the sweet spot for the .22 HP Redwolf as an example. at 100Y. I recall seeing some posts explaining that the Diablo pellets could start to tumble after 75 yards.

I think the MRD at 100 yards would really struggle at 850 fps ranges. You could experiment today.

Re. RAW loudness - Have not measured decibel levels, but it’s not backyard friendly is my guess. Certainly not as loud as my .30 Boss. But, I think several RAW owners have found OEM Moderators that are quieter than the RAW factory moderator.

Challenge Shooters, I will get a leaderboard update posted in the next few days.

In the meantime, keep getting that lead downrange!!

I’m gonna shoot some 100 yards today.

Warm humid morning at the range today. I thought we were going to have to build an ‘Ark’ with all the rain we got Sunday thru Wednesday. It was good to get out today.

Wind was very light for the first hour. I had the FX Royale .22 and RAW HM1000X .22 with me.

Started out with the RAW at 40Y Masters distance. The JTS 22.07g was shooting pretty hot at 995 FPS, but ES values were great!

Shot 3 cards:

193-10X
195-10X
197-13X ( wind picked up on this card but very light)
** May Leaderboard submission**

Next up, FX Royale .22 at 40Y Masters
Two 40Y Challenge cards were throw aways (not shown). Last card of the day was a 40Y Masters

190-8X ( Leaderboard for May )

The Leupold 6.5 X 20 X 40mm AO EFR is great at 30, but almost useless at 40Y. I won’t shoot any better score if I don’t mount a beast (high magnification scope ) on the Royale.

Great day.

Thank you,
Just getting into shooting again so at the moment it’s home garden. There is a shooting range nearby but have yet to pay a visit.

Welcome aboard Darren.
What is your shooting set up in Godalming like?
Open range or indoors?

This listing has been renewed

Airmaks mag holder and 2 printed mags arrived on Wednesday!

Ordered a Huma reg just last night, along with an extra fill probe for the krait

This listing has been renewed

Bought some screws to mount the airmaks mag holder to my krait. It came with a mount for the katran, and for some reason the screw on the gun were too short, $1.00 fix!

This will be interesting @ Midwest show . wonder how face to face cash sales will be ? People sell in order to buy .

If you had seen the defect you'd have returned it. May or may not have gotten another that accurate or worse made you feel airguns couldn't be that accurate. I see people shoot tiny groups, then buy a chronograph and see numbers that make them think somethings wrong. Chase a chronograph string spending hours tuning and buying upgraded parts rather than shoot the same tiny groups they were.

don't folks pay attention,,, the USA and China are in a tariff war,, so let us buy a china gun from a 3rd party importer and IGNORE the fact of a tariff war is in progress
kind of like deposting money in bank during a robbery

bernie, you purchased at the wrong time window,, hope ya get out of it without losing a gun
wars have victums,, unfortunately

beer thief, wake up,, CBP is the United States Customs & Border Protection,,

DHL,,, is just another shipping company

Thanks ( beerthief is one word )

If its a pump gun, oiling the pump piston pretty much means everything down stream is getting oiled too.

Glad to hear you are liking your rifle. I haven't shot my .25cal enough due to time constraints, but it seems to like the 33gr JSB pellets around 900fps.

Click to expand...

I am planning on testing the 33gr soon, these 29.63 fly very straight and hit hard.

I have the EQ in 22. Here is what I have so far.

The mags are deep and are of good quality but I hate the retention system they can move side to side causing alinement issues.

I have shot everything from 14.7 grain crossman premiers to 38.7 grain aea range master slugs on the stock tune only adjusting the transfer port. (Regulator 1900 psi hammer backed all the way off) the range masters were slow at 800 fps but shot straight like a laser beam. (I will be working up a real tune for them.) standard deviation was 2-4 fps with everything I shot. It has shot everything accurately except Apolo destoyer 28 grains that I have not gotten to shoot well in anything. I have not experienced a point of aim shift. And I have not babied gun at all. The trigger needs some work but I managed to make some adjustments that makes it a ok trigger 2.3-2.5 pound. ( check youtube video dons world) when I have some time I am going to see if some improvements and be made. The one a received had some burrs on the collar that slides over the barrel they would wear off and caused some binding problems untill I broke it down and removed them.

Now that’s an interesting thread, I have always struggled with whether to shoot with my glasses on or off as I use separate glasses for reading and distance so have never been sure as to what to use.
Think a trip to opticians is due as these progressive lens glasses that have been mentioned look like they could solve my issue.

Click to expand...

Good morning @Rutterkyn
They are certainly worth a try IMO.
Think of them as tri-focals without a hard line between the steps
Top portion is distance vision (driving etc)
Middle is just that (glancing down at the speedometer for example)
And close for reading
They do take some getting used to at first ,as with most changes.
But after a while, if like me, you won't even notice it anymore

just my 20-20
