Congrats! What speed is your HPX 30 cal shooting?

Click to expand...

There is not magical speed my friend.
I used to chase speed years ago.
The temperatures in Phoenix were so high this year that both the 22 and the 30 were shooting at least 20fps higher than normal (990fps and 930fps) Still accurate but I strongly believe the 22 could have been prone to spirals at that speed at 100.
The 50gr AEAs are very accurate at a wide variety of speeds.

I've seen quite a few cylinders with paint, water dip material on them.

I've covered a few of mine in clear (translucent) Shrink wrap, if there's enough room between the cylinder and the barrel. Mostly for protection. I covered this one, "before" I got the hand guard.

I put a 3-12 on my Cricket 2 Tactical 45 in .22 and it's my main night time grab for pests! Great size for a truck gun and very accurate. The 3x12 works better for < 50 yard shots as the target acquisition is easier than the 5-20 Zulus. Although I really like the ThermNight I have on the Ghost .25... it's not backyard friendly though!

Fantastic Shooting Jeff
It was a pleasure to watch when and when you do not shoot!
Mike
edit I did notice that you tap your foot throughout the match..does the foot tapping time your shots? or is that a nervous habit?
your upper body is staying very still, but your lower half is tapping like a drummer

Maybe a bad habit trying to calm down and not rush too mucg into a string of 10s.
Sometimes you shoots a couple 10s in a row and don't pay attention to the flags change, then a terrible 8 shows up horizontally speaking.
You have to use whatever suits you best.

He made that barrel for me quite a while ago… Have you tried reaching out to @thammer he really did a great job for me…

I own that gun now, and it shoots pretty darn good up to 50 yards. Troy did an outstanding job on it.

I know , I bought a Canada model, But Wes was a great guy to deal with

The first returned gun wouldn't cock. The troubleshooting was covered in this thread. I might be crazy, but I swear the fill port on the first Notos was directly at the bottom and the gauge was perpendicular to the rifle, which is why I started this thread with questions... Also, both rifles were purchased from different suppliers.

nothing wrong with the fill port not being directly vertical or the gauge not being perpendicular to the barrel. have fun with your newtos.put a 1-4x circle dot scope on it and look for squirrels.

This.

I definitely plan to add the 3-12 Zulus LRF in the near future

You stated the scope zero very well, i.e., "zero starting at 22 yards" or "scope zero from 22 to 40 yards". Someone who says they zeroed at 40 yards doesn't know if they have zeroed it like your blue line or potentially with a zero holdover from, say, 40 to 53 yards.
My Sightron SIII 10-50x60 seems to work great when setup for a zero holdover at 30, 35, and 40 yards.

Your scope sure seems unusual that it is good at the 45 vs 50 vs 55 yard distinction but suffers in the 1 yard increments in the 20-30 yard range.

Click to expand...

Yeah it's common for guys to state their zero but there's typically a range of zero holdover required. And that "30 yard zero" could be the beginning or the end of the range. And where that range of zero falls in the 10-55 is important.

The Midas Tac has really clear glass, my favorite general use scope. But between my eye disease and the scope being a first focal plane, the depth of field isn't optimal for field target, especially at 16x. I can repeatably range by focus down to the yard from 10-19ish, but 20-25 is a little less repeatable. Past that, I'm happy with 5 yard increments. There's also the general nature of match difficulty. It's entirely possible to encounter a 1/2" kill zone at 21-23 yards in a match, but most of the kzs out at 50-55 are gonna be more like 1.5." With a good wind read, shooting a 50 yard target as a 55, or a 55 yards target as a 50 will still keep the pellet in that 1.5" kz. So the point of all of this was that I shifted my zero range a just a bit closer so that I won't miss a 1/2" kz target when I range it as 23yards but it's actually 20 yards. The holdover difference between red and blue in my chart would be a miss in that example.

Where I live people shoot .30-06 and similar rifles on their farms pretty much every day. Still I like to be polite to my neighbors.

I've only shot the Pro 30 a few times without a DonnyFL Ronin attached to it. Otherwise it's louder than rimfire. It still makes some noise but it sounds more like using some weird pneumatic tool than shooting a gun now.

As for ammo I'm still using those NSA 303 61.5 and haven't really found a reason to experiment much beyond that.

Click to expand...

I found the 47.2 .303 NSA's shot better out of my Terminator. I need to try the 61.5 slugs I missed them some way. It is a must to shoot the .303 caliber the .300 shot all over the place. What I am currently shooting and frankly is the best projectile I have shot out of my rifle is the FX 50.2 gr pellet. A little under powered compared to your Challengers I get 108 ft lb. I too have bushed my hammer spring and have sets for my different AEA's . I have not yet bushed the Terminator. I'm pretty comfortable with what I have there. Probably looking at .357 or .458 next.

Lmao this thread is funny. So OP buys a notos. Gauge is not facing what he want. Fill port is see through. He said it's broken and send it back. Wasting sellers shipping to him and back. Then ask for another one. Got new gun, same issue and want to return it again. Lmao. Yeah I know we all noobs when we started but come on. Seriously? Nothing is wrong with your gun. My guage is facing upside down. It's just how it is. Not all gauges will be facing same way but who cares. It's only there so you can see the fill pressure. As for the fill port, it's suppose to be see through. When you stick the fill prob in, it will seal it. Just cock the gun and fill it.

I tried the Oil trick, I put some in the Male as well as the Female. It didn't work at first, but then I tried bleeding the line pressure from the Tank quickly a couple of times, at first it slowed a little, the second time, a little more, 3 times and now it does not appear to be leaking. I have shot hundreds of rounds since I last put oil. I was a slacker! Thanks for the Tip!

They are not based on Webley Omega/Patriot trigger THEY ARE BAUGHT FROM AND EXACT WITH THIER OWN trigger BLADE ,to allow the blade SAFTY to work
Can they be ok ,yes at 11 ft to 15 ft lbs. load them and they are load relevant to pull.View attachment 504689
identical ,welded cage and every sear as well as spring set up. Just different trigger blade which don’t effect the use ,it’s for the safety as with gas rams there is no rear plug safety ,like Webley guns
They did weld a lug to mount the trigger guard and to stop the action from moving.


Theobens were well thought but trigger design was a miss , I’m Working on a SLR 88 now and it’s not good and YOU CANT GET SEARS. LUCKLY ,IVE OWNED SEVERAL Patriots and have spares.
EVO is a two sear ledge pressure drop

I personally don’t collect ,I use and they are not my cup of

Click to expand...

Looks fairly different than a Sirocco trigger. Similar blade though. Similar.
Hard to understand the text. Did you take grammar at school?
Or too many cup of?
I always respect and appreciate your knowledge and skills, believe me and many of us do but sometimes hard to decipher, brother

The Origin was my first pcp in .25 . Picked it up for Raccoons. Mine makes a little over 50 fpe with the HS maxed but I usually have it around 45 fpe . I've never had a problem with it . The length is why I don't use it much for pesting. I'm always grabbing a bullpup. I'm kinda surprised it was never very popular , especially with hand pump guys .

The Avenger stole the Origin's thunder. Or the Origin failed to steal the Avengers. Either way, the Avenger won.
