Krale And UPS Import charge??

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.
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?

30-Yard Challenge

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.

30-Yard Challenge

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.

Other  PCP for PRS22

Hey all,
New here and new to the world of PCP rifles. ( I have a notos for small yard pests) I'm a rimfire PRS shooter, my last match had two air rifles on my squad. I have to say I'm intrigued to say the least!

I see most people lean to FX for this style of shooting. I've been looking at the Drs mostly, the panthera is the top of what I would like to spend. I have also seen the AGT Uragan as a slug shooter. I'm looking for 22 cal. Any and all suggestions are welcome!
Thanks!

Looking down that brand new barrel

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.

Krale And UPS Import charge??

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,,
edit: sorry beerthief, I forgot to include, the PRC is China,,,
People's Republic of China
IIRC,,, If I Recall Correctly
DHL,,, is just another shipping company
Thanks ( beerthief is one word 😊)

All barrels shoot very good, this is one accurate and consistent rifle. The 25 has a carbon fiber stiffener on it.

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.

Bernie so what happened with UPS, did you reject the shipment?

Eyeglasses or not?

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.
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
Edward
