I don't buy that the Aluminum liner holds up to 4500 PSI,

You are 100% correct.

While i was at EBR, i ran into Gregor and Rok, and i asked them about the tuning for the P3
here is what i was told...
establish what the highest velocity you will need for the projectile you are using.
back down the hammer all the way, and slowly adjust up to where the valve opens..then open it up a turn more...this will be the hammer setting for the gun
all of the speed adjustments will be done by the regulator
If Tony did the tuning, all you need to adjust will be the regulator to adjust speed

Ton'y setup with the Altaros moderator is very quiet! Hitting the target makes more noise than the rifle going off

Make sure you close the the cocking lever before you shoot ...don't know how many times i forgot to do that with the P3 ..the left side cocking level kinda throws me off
It is a a very accurate rifle ,,,Have Fun!
Mike
edit: if you happen to shoot one with the bolt open, remember to remove the magazine before you close the bolt or you will double load

The distance is totally irrelevant. I'm only interested in what muzzel velocity you found gave the tighest groups at what ever distance you choose to test at.

unfortunately that's not the case. For correct selection of muzzle velocity is the primary distance to be shot at is extremely crucial.
If I shoot at 50m airgun benchrest, I can easily have a speed of 750-800fps, but if I want to shoot at 1000 yards, then for greater accuracy, a higher speed will have an advantage. Conversely, a speed above 1000fps at 50m will have the opposite effect in terms of accuracy, as the bullet will be more affected by the wind.
Everything is related to everything, this is essential for every shooter to realize if they want to shoot really accurately.

Thanks

I might just keep the Maverick for one caliber and get the Impact for the other.

So, I’m a big believer in the Easy Tune system from “Shooting with Phil”. Keep the Maverick! You get almost the same thing as the Impact 4, except for the valve adjustment screw, bigger plenum and WAY easier to tune!
Oh, and the cost is $130!

Added to my calendar,

Had a great time at EBR
Made a lot of mistakes, like setting a wind flag too high that it covered my row of sighters on my 75 yard target
Also double shot a target, and went off regulator because i didn't fill before the match.
i guess the nerves got to me and you just forget some things.

I tried to take some pictures, but got too busy with the set up.
A BIG THANK YOU to AOA for the event!!
Everything was run efficiently.

We did have something i haven't seen before...A BIG Dust Devil, about as wide as a car and taller than the buildings, swept through the range knocking down wind flags abd blowing the targets out of their stands! ..it was quite a sight!

I watched Justin Welch do a speed shoot for his 75 yard targets..he finished his 1st taget in 2:30...then took another minute to shoot his sighters.
He shot his 2nd target in 2 minutes...then shot his sighters...lol ..so less than 5 minutes for both rounds

Jeff Hernandez shooting was incredible to watch..very skilled at choosing his shots in the wind conditions
Mike Bricker was down -8 on his 1st two rows on the qualifiers, and then procedded to bang out all 10's for the rest of the card..Great shooting!
Thane was also fun to watch...his panda was super quiet as well as accurate..counld't hear the shots

The people there were super nice and engaging.
Meet a lot of new friends from South Africa, Lithuania and Chile...it's the people that make the event worth going and repeating.

I learned a lot from the experience..of what to do...and not to do ..i hope when i go again, i can improve on the scores and see the friends i made this weekend

Filed a dispute with PayPal
Took 1 day after I sent the pics of the tank
PayPal gave me 100% refund no questions asked

Funny thing about that hatsan tank
Amazon sells the same one for 199.00 but does not say hatsan but same label same tank

This time a spent a little more and got the omega
With the new Hp3 valve
Both have dot.

Not annoying at all. Just love the ones you are with . Lol.

How often do you use that CF bottle? that is a scary situation.

Click to expand...

I filled 6 times to 4000 psi

Bout the only thing I've found with mine is it likes to be given time to acclimate when going from hot to cold or vise versa. Also, with the balanced valve the hammer spring can't be used to adjust power but with the regulator being adjustable without having to degas it's no issue. Interested to see what others have to say.

Weihrauch gun in the line up?​

I’ll be glad to buy that RWS 54 if your not going to pick it up

Click to expand...

Hello fellas I picked it up over the weekend , let me say thanks for your guys responses. Man this thing is Heavy! I guess that's why they are so precise? It looks well made . He said it did have scope mounts on it but he kept them for his newer RWS . I played around with it and really couldn't dial in many groupings at 25 yards using the flip up sights. What are people putting on here that will last? I can't afford to put a Burris or a sightron just yet but with this sled system does it still eat scopes? I thought about putting my Leupold VX on it for the time being but don't want to risk it .
This thing weighs almost double to my weatherby 223 . I guess it takes some getting used to.
Thanks for y'all's input .

On x. I hunt multiple states and ain't got time for ads and need to know the technology there works. So I spend what might have been about 2 or 3 movie tickets and popcorn for peace of mind that the app work and is loaded with features online and off.

Previous posters are correct. The internals are the same from .177 to .30. However once tuned nicely for one caliber the tune will have to be completely changed for the other. Especially with a jump from .22 to .30 or vice versa. As far as the .35 I wouldn’t assume it would even be possible for it to tune down to some of the smaller calibers effectively. I would only buy that gun with .35 being the focus.

You will see that at equal weight with all springers. the 22 will be more efficient given the barrel has the right fit.
.20 is not some type of magic pellet that it was pushed to be, what it does have is a tighter barrel in the HW brand then the .22 for most ammo available.
The HW .22 barrels seem to like the larger dia pellets.

Hunting or bench?

I have a vintage 1969 HW35 with a 4mm transfer port and a leather seal. It's all original internally and deliberately sprung to be low powered.
The leather seal is in good shape and the seal it makes in the cylinder is also very good. The shot cycle is nice and smooth, but power is not quite as consistent as I'd like, although that could also be down to the pellets or the chrono.
I thought I would try reducing the transfer port diameter to see what difference it made to the shot cycle and power.
For that, I used a 4mm OD brass tube, with a 3mm ID bore, cut to the full length of the transfer port.
The last of my findings puzzles me:

• Shot cycle still feels the same: nice and smooth
• No dieseling resulting from the change
• Power is the same!

What would be the expected outcome of reducing the transfer port diameter on such a set-up?
Cheers!

That’s not one of the recent guns they were selling there is it? AOA recently had a bunch of older American guns for sale. I picked up a nice Crosman 600 and waited too long on a rocker safety Sheridan. If I had seen that for sale though I would have just clicked on buy and worried about explaining it to my wife later.

This one came up for sale early this year. Maybe late last year. Probably an estate gun. There were many really nice guns at the time. I missed a couple that some other members picked up.

This listing has been renewed

Back on topic here, that Vulcan HP is going to do fine as long as you hunt them and don’t go long range on them. Just keep your shots reasonable and you’re going to be fine. They don’t get near as fuzzed up with an air rifle like they do with a firearm if you miss.

The range that i looking for is 100 200m max most of time 120 150m
