I own a Benjamin Marauder .22 caliber rifle (BP2264S) with a Holosun red dot and magnifier mounted on a dovetail to picatinny rail adapter on top of the rifle. I'd like to add a tactical flashlight, but there's no room on the pic rail, and even if there was, it would be in the way of the red dot, of course. Does anyone have a trick for mounting a flashlight elsewhere on the rifle? If there is a way to attach it to the top of the Holosun HM3X magnifier, that might work best, but I'm at a loss as to how I would attach it stably (I'd rather not MacGyver it). Does anyone have advice on this?

I have a UK bought PP800. I stripped it and cleaned it and it shoots well over 6ft/lb and averaging 7ft/lb. I am assured they are regulated in the UK. How can i get mine under 6ft/lb?

Can someone please help me? I have an AEA ss .25 cal. With a standard 3600 lb. Tank. It wont hold air, when I get to about 1000 psi it sounds like its shooting on full auto and it loses all air out of the barrel.. if I stop filling at 500 psi, it will hold it until I cock it, then it loses all the air. Has anybody had this problem and can I fix it myself? Thank you for reading...

Isn't there a forum member who makes baffles for the fx hollow tubes?

So... Since I do not care much for the Athlon Talos 3-12 which I purchased for my springer and dropped it on my dreamline tactical (not the compact) for the interim. I dislike the clarity and the fact that I can see the baffle or lens retainer. Its distracting.

I've been searching for a different optic for hunting and fun, Testing this new dreamline proves I've developed a flinch, so I imagine I will spend a lot of time on this optic and rifle to correct this. I am budgeting 800-900 American beer tokens for this part of the project.

Most of my shots will be under 70 feet so a low power optic with wide view is ideal. Especially on moving targets a little magnification to see if the rock pigeons around hear have leg bands since my new neighbor has racing pigeons. I have binoculars ...

I was set on the Vortex PST 2-10x32 but am not sure if I can get the light gathering I'm used to with 44mm objective lenses. I am also looking at the viper pst 3-15x44 For that reason. Neither optic goes below 20 yards for parallex adjustment (I'm not sure if it matters as every rimfire optic I used for small game was 100yd fixed, race guns were similar) and with my higher power vipers I use on powder burners, I don't see any focus changes with that knob anyway. I cannot afford the nightforce shv 3-12x42 which is about perfect. $1600 is to much.

I hate second focal plane because any milldot or ranging retical is for some reason always set to maximum magnification. I seldom go above 6x for anything but paper. If I do, its for identification when to much movement of switching to binoculars is to much. It looks like in most cases first focal plane is not all that great for what I want to do either as the reticle is always small. Vortex confirmed this for the pst 2-10 but its illumination may act like a red dot....

Most of the forum favorites do not appeal to me. I will never buy another leapers/UTG or BSA if I can help it. Athlon has not impressed me with the milky view and lack of email responses from customer service.

I was sitting here looking at my options and since I have to mail order about every option since all local dealers only stock the cheapest version of anything. (Locals will spend $3k on a rifle but put a $39.95 optic on it and hate it wanting to sell the whole works for $5k) I thought it might be fun to be able to record video and sound. While for an extra $600 I can with tacticam I can on most conventional optics.

I loved the features of the ATN pro day/night but the reviews are less than stellar. Every single local predator hunter will shy away from ATN in general, they owned them and went to pulsar for a reason. I definitely cannot afford a thermion xp50 lrf either.

Now... WI law only allows weapon lights and hunting lights at point of kill on foot. Ive hunted at night and got a handle on most of this. Its a bit difficult to use the night vision here as its considered a light. Most if not all the guys rock thermals because they cannot use illuminator until the animal is there. It may be hard to prove innocence with the warden as well, it appears the wardens do no answer emails either. But the wraith will run in daylight and with a quick attatch mount this unit can work as a monocular if the cows get out. So primary use would be daylight so its a little easier to justify the cost. Outright the cows escaping isn't enough to just buy one.

I like the 4k wraith setups. I'm not sure if I would go with the mini or the full size. I like the full size better but I do not like the non serviceable battery. Its also unfortunate that these will not run below freezing.

So kind of curios if anyone could make it work. The rail on the dreamline tactical raises up quite a bit to clear the magazine, I still had to add medium rings to get the talos to clear the stock rail. If I could not get the eye relief to work out, I would have to raise it higher yet. I see wisconsin airgunners on YouTube mounted one on an impact but the standard Hogue collapsible stock does not allow much for raising the comb height. The wraith options have a fixed and unknown height.

what fps/fpe do you like to shoot your .25?

I’ve been messing with my regulator pressure a lot and can’t seem to find the best leave it there spot yet.

I have the leshiy 2 with 350mm barrel shooting around 170 bar at around 60-65fpe I have a few different ammunition that’ll give me very different results and speeds but my goal is to tune it to a very powerful, efficient state where I can throw it in a backpack go hunting for the day and not to refill my 300cc tank so far air efficiency hasn’t been a problem I can get around 40 shots before I drop below 130 bar out of this 350mm barrel not too bad. Also have some issues with groupings but yet it’s hard to really solve that since I have a crappy scope so not sure if it’s the gun or that But I figured I need to start with jets. Maybe sizes .2/.2 and another pair of .5/5 and try those two sizes out but I also can’t get my hands on them.. anyway
I’m not too sure how other guns regulate pressure but some info on .25 cal what what’s best Speed to shoot them at and how you like to save air etc..
I’m currently shooting avs 254 34gr and hades 26gr

If I cock and load my pcp, how long is too long before I fire that round? Basically, I'm asking how long can I leave my rifle cocked?

To turn an air TUBE gun into a BOTTLE gun....
To turn a SMALL bottle gun into a BIG bottle gun....

➔ For that, we need something like a Bottle-Step-Down Adapter — because bottles/ bigger bottles have a larger diameter and otherwise would not fit under the shroud.


I've seen those adapters for the Avenger, the Prod, and a genius made one for a PP700 once.
There is even an OEM by FX for its Dreamline.


Retorical questions:
▪ Why are there not more adapters and step-down-adapters available — OEM or aftermarket?

▪ Why do manufacturers mount the bottles so close to the shroud that only small diameter bottles can be used?


Real question:
▪ Would someone make a step-down adaptor (for the RTI Prophet I Compact Performance)?
How hard can this be? (Yes, I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to engineering, please use fuel sparingly when flaming me, remember the outrageous fuel prices.)

The photo shows how the adapter steps down the air reservoir connector in order to allow a large diameter bottle to be mounted, instead of a small diameter air tube (Dreamline).

HOW do you RANGE the distance to your quarry (outside your PBR)

The options are in the poll.

My personal journey was all over the "range finding map," I think I've used at least 3 methods over the course of time....


Feel free to comment WHY you prefer the method you are using.

Is there any nightvision equipment that films with 240 frames per second (or at least 120fps)?

60fps is just too slow for good slow motion.....

Confused about Diana bandit,saw posts to cut 1 ring off hammer spring because hammers to heavy ,putting a Huma regulator in their site says put washer behind regulator spring to give more preload, if I cut hammer spring and put washer in could this make the hammer to light to fire,I heard the hammer is to heavy for this gun, it feels like a springer ,has that little vibration, should I just add more preload or do both,

I have a question. My son fell in love with the look/feel of the AEA Challenger Bullpup that he saw at the raffle at RMAC. I must admit that the wood thumb-hole stock with built-in bag-rider is pretty sexy, but I really don't like the rear cocking lever and the fact that it isn't regulated. I would like to get him a gun that he likes and can be competitive with. I'm thinking that it is a bad idea to try to upgrade the Challenger to compete because I will probably have to start with a new barrel and go back from there, so I will basically just be keeping the stock and maybe the trigger and I am still stuck with the cocking lever unless I do something really drastic. I would prefer to start with a better platform that has the forward cocking lever, at least. I would prefer not to have to replace the barrel, and valve, etc. Sure I can re-port the system if I have to, but is there a platform that is more "bullet-proof" and ready for competition that has a nice wooden thumb-hole stock? Thanks so much for the insight!!

Is it possible to rewire a Yong Heng 45k# compressor from 110vac to 220vac?
I can't find any place to ask.
Does Yong Hang have a site, email or phone number?
All I find is Alli and no contact info listed.
Thanks

First PCP Air Rifle Buyer .... Suggestions Please..Looking for a Good Brand...Roughly £600-£800. Wanting to buy brand new..

Hello All,
I have an air tube off my .25 cal. 600mm dreamline, I went with the bottle and no longer have a need for the stock air tube.
It needs the plastic washer on the gauge replaced (2mm 1/8) but is in excellent condition and is complete with the regulator.
I was considering posting it for sale with a couple of other items, but honestly don't know what a FAIR price to ask would be, so I thought to ask all you knowledgeable air gunners you thoughts. So what do you think?
Thanks
Bill

Have researched numerous barrel polishing threads. Can anyone share a direct link as to where I can obtain a .22 cal barrel block/stop and a bore stroke guide?

Have polished a few barrels, but want to use both items above.

Thanks
Tom

Hello i converted my Impact MK II .357 to a .22 800mm tension barrel set up. Gun was working great for about the first 30 shots now the valve gets stuck open leaking air out the back and i have to cock and fire to get valve to shut. Anyone else have this issue or know what i need to do to fix? I'm running the regulator at a 100 bar and spring tension on max and out to the 4th line on valve ajustment.

Hi all,

I joined this site from a recommendation. Was told I could get more information and possibly sell.
Unfortunately, I need to post a bunch in order to get access to the classifieds.

I've got 3 Feinwerkbau rifles that I was given when my younger brother passed. He won some
Texas State championship of some kind. Was an avid airgun enthusiast.

I've got a Model 300 S, GmbH, and a 601
Would like information about their value.


Thanks ;o)
David

When filling with a hand pump I heard a pop and now the gun won't hold air. Is the drop block holding the regulator supposed to be tight, mine has some side to side movement and I wonder if I knocked it loose. The seal on the air tube to drop block seems ok. Any other areas to check for a leak.

I have some buggered threads on some ring mounts. I want to chase through and clean them up with a tap. Called a forum sponsor and they claimed there are many different sizes used for that. They all seem the same to me. Nevertheless, I'd like to order taps for the most common size allen head screw they use. I plan to order some taps to cover any failure so knowing the tap sizes to order will help a lot. Thanks.

I would definitely have a hard time but I think it would be my FX Royale 500. Just because it's so simple and easy to work on, if you have to ever.

Has anyone found a decent Picatinny rail to Arca swiss adapter for the fx dreamline tactical bottle?

I've looked at and reached out to saber tactical. They have a unit which might fit but they said it would not work based on customer experiences.

I DO NOT WANT TO DOUBLE THE WEIGHT OF THE RIFLE WITH A CHASSIS.

I did some searches on here and found the sand sport extension but it does not appear to clear the bottle judging by pictures. If it did I could use just about any arca converter plate.

The only option I found was from spartan but I'm already heavily invested in arca swiss for powder burners, photography, and long range optics. These do not work with arca, they have their own ball head.

I considered the tank clamp concept but do not like the idea of putting excessive torque on the connections for the bottle/reg especially with the first plenum installed.

The dreamline's rail is rather short rail to begin with. Most scamazon options require more rail to function properly and are questionable quality.

The gun came with a power plenum which helps with the distance from the rail to the bottle regulator but I still have not found much.

Hoping someone here has. I have the tripods and heads already but no way to attatch them.

I did look at the Yankees hill rail extension but it looks like I may need a riser... which is hard to find that short. Yankee hill makes ok stuff but they are not my favorite people and I do not want to piece meal this hole thing if I do not have to, especially since no one appears to list dimensions so I would have to mail order a bunch of stuff and use trial and error
