In my continued hot take on the subject I think it can be said that at greater distances (l
& leaving out external effects like wind, temp, etc) ballistic flaws will probably become more apparent.

My personal experience w this was w a bullet that looked great at 10, but was tumbling at 50. The slug was too small for the bore...pretty simple explanation even for my tiny brain.

Leupold.....

Does that brand have ANY scopes that has 10y parallax and a holdoff reticle with exposed turrets?

I can't find any.....

6.5-20 x 40...................no hold over reticle. Parallax range 10 yards to infinity. Target turrets. It is an excellent scope.

Fashion and heritage!

How many usable shots per tank are you getting? They say you can do 10, but wondering how usable those 10 are.

Click to expand...

The first 3- 5 are the best usable pressure range from 4500 - 3000

I'm curious what the precision capability is at say 20 yards using lead BB's in your gun??

The outfit in UT replaced my 2-3 year Continental 5-30 because it had something wrong with the tracking staying correct, a thing that got progressively worse over time. That was a year ago. At least they honored the warranty.

For my general o'ring usage i buy those 3000+ o'ring sets and several of the smaller specialized sets from AliExpress. In the last year or so I've had to order 2 different o'rings 3mm and 7.5mm. Everything else I find in one of the kits.

UPDATE:

So I ended up buying. GX CS4 from the home site with their 10% discount. I did the recommended water draining and filled with distilled water. I flushed the system three times before I was satisfied with how the water looked. I have since performed a deadhead test and filled both my 250 and 300bar tanks. The 300bar tank took 9.5 minutes to fill from empty. The unit is quiet and did not get above 90* F. Very happy with the purchase thus far.

I'm liking mine also.

Jay,

I checked my screw stash and it does appear like the stage and sear adjust screws are M4. I found the bag of set screws I used for the sear adjust and they were labeled as such.

Long picatinny rail ordered via mail from AGT, the price was around 70€ if I remember correctly (apologies if I missed that).
Fits perfectly

1) Ballistol. 2) Johnsons paste wax or Birchwood Casey gun wax 3) Silicone gun cloth 4) Pledge.

No idea why one would remove the shroud and shoot but at least we know it completely changes the tune

I tried that too on my Two, so in that case a un-tensioned barrel, shot for a whole day but did not see any worth mention change good or bad.

This is my personal cell phone. whether it is logging into wifi or not I do not know . at home I have very poor connections to anything RF frequency wise. i tried at my shop in the middle of the large metro area same deal. Gun broker and guns international do not send out junk mail or advertisements. It also blocks forums like this. the phone is set for medium security. I do not believe that is the issue . It is a some sort of policy from T-Mobile. I object to some co. or anyone else for that matter that thinks their particular ideas are the only way to fly and the force that on me. Course I am just an old mean crochety sob. This is a means of limiting information to control the masses to push their own agenda. If I had deep pockets - sure as hell it would be in court one way or another . As such I will be exploring other carriers paying attention to whose system they are operating on. its their co. so they can set their rules - but the issue is related to being a public service albet in a some what limited fashion. I had an issue with an insurance underwriter ( young liberal female) years ago that did not like the name of my biz., and refused to renew my policy Do not use that co anymore. To Me it is like the baker out in Seattle that refused to make a cake or something for someone a while back, That made national news but was a bit different in context- Just like my shop I am not bound to provide service to every Tom Dick and Harry. I have been in the service industry for 50+ years and have met some real pieces of work in that time frame.

great write up, however living in Michigan and in the winter months we shoot once a week at the club inddoor range plus im retired its better to keep my mind on shooting than watching tv.

I'm with you Keith. We turned the tvs off about 6 years ago, garbage and lies for the most part. So I spent yesterday measuring front ogive to tip on 107 Sierra Matchkings for shooting to 1000 yds this coming season. I sort them, in this case into two groups and then measure and sort them by base to ogive. Why? Because I can see the fifference on target. The tool I use measures to .0001. I can't see that with pellets on any consistent basis. So I shoot them out of the tin. I am lucky in that I live 5min from an indoor range I can shoot 25 yards every day. Now if I was a PCP guy shooting 100 yds with pellets I might have a different perspective, but zilch dark side interest on my part, I love deer hunting in Michigan.

Any of them can shoot, if you know how to shoot. Some are just better with the barrel lottery than others. The only thing on a budget airgun is can you get over the rest creating the budget, IE; nad trigger, bolt action, single shot, small mags, cheap stock, easy to break or too heavy. And other things, but all go into effect on keeping or not. My favorite was a kral NP03 that could shoot dimes at 50yds all day with crossmans 14.3g hps.

Four months after receiving this rifle, it's finally quickly gaining my confidence now. We started having issues again of squirrels getting inside our house. It seems this becomes an issue every few years if I don't control their population around our house. So it's mostly squirrels for the gun lately between 27m to 40m. Not a lot mind you; maybe about 2 or 3 per week. Sometimes more, sometimes less. I'm not trying to completely get rid of them... just trying to keep them out of the house.

I'm not much of a target shooter so I don't do a lot of groups, but of the squirrels I've shot since figuring out "the hold", they've been all right where I was aiming. This morning's shot had me a little worried. 28.7m sitting on the fence. I think it has noticed me inside the window because it was doing the warning tail wags. I aimed for the left shoulder. I saw it hit, I saw the animal run partially up a tree, tried to jump across another tree and fell straight down. I couldn't find it initially. I even brought out the thermal. I went out there and found her under a pile of twigs. Again, hit exactly where I was aiming.

Could I get one from you??

Yes you may

Mike,

I’m intrigued by the low HP for the same velocity with the FX 700 mm or 28” equivalent you’re getting. Wow.
I probably mentioned I get 965-970 at just under 1500 psi Hp and 160 or so on LP with the 25” LW polygonal. I get the same results at 990 as well. Maybe better? Needs more testing.
I would like to see some targets if you get the chance.
I’m very impressed with the 22.07’s and the LW polygonal. The weather has not been too good for the past 3 weeks but I window of calm and shot an N50 At sunset. Hey grab it while you can. Shot a 228 w 3X’s. Not great but not bad for only the second N50 target in 3 years.
I’m trying to ease back into competitive shooting after having taken a few years off.
I really need to familiarize myself with this new Evo as weather permits before I can begin to figure things out. Best of luck on your end.

One of the first things I did! Thx

N50 has zero to do with this troll.
Don’t feed him.

Oh and... 3 fixing screws on bottom if you look.

Bottom up. All the time no matter what projectile. Probably partially because it’s how we were taught when regs became the norm. And mostly because you can see how your gun evolves as you increase. Once all of that is in your notes, then your brain, it’s a lot of very valuable data down the road when you want to try something new. And knowing when your gun starts to run out of gas. Thus requiring a power do-dad.
