What distance were you and what fps and reg setting do you like for these slugs. Just got my 357 yesterday. Reg 140 shot the 174 HA today @ 730fps 206fpe.

Have any owners of Tract scopes utilized their Trust Assurance lifetime warranty? If so, how was your experience in that process?

I was reading over their warranty today and it looks good. You can read it in the link below.

Same as above. I had the 34mm 4.5-30X56 MOA ELR FFP Toric and it was a fantastic scope, glass was . I even had it on my 97K for a while..lol, no problems. Those guys are straight up nice and very helpful, I don't think you have any worries over their warranty.

That's one thing we can all agree on!

I hadn't looked at it for a couple of years. It is the beech stock and not the deluxe. It is a 20 cal. Metal is perfect and the stock has what appears to be very small paint marks like it was bumped. I believe there is only one that I can actually see a slight dent in the finish. Some of the marks appear light enough that they may be able to be polished out.

I've never really seen the need for one. You can easily get close enough to be on the paper. Then make one large adjustment to get close. At 40 feet you are at about .13 MOA movement in the scope, or approximately 8 minutes per inch of POI.

I am glad you were able to get the main issue fixed so easily , soon you'll be abke to fully enjoy the ranchero!

Thanks Jace. Super excited.

It sealed well enough to get four mags at 14 ftlbs. Really accurate and wonderful trigger.

DNT will have our hound series monoculars but they are still a few months. The entry level will be at a target price for $650 up to $1700 for the top tier as a target goal. Will have LRF I am currently testing the pre production versions and will share what I can.

Strange it can only move a 385gr 925FPS , and a slug weighing 250 more grains travels only (890) 35 FPS slower.

I am feeling the same way. On the other hand you can't find an M60b either. Kral had one left and I hesitated and it was gone!

Call him

I'm really not bashing it. To be honest I wish I had one. Fascinating guns! I'm just glad there are people pointing out what potential buyers NEED to be aware of before getting into one.

Exactly this

I’ve not heard one person bash the gun. I didn’t bash the gun, Gerry52 didn’t bash the gun, in fact we both said it was cool. It’s just not for everyone.

I think pointing out the facts of the gun the way you see them is exactly what we should be doing. I linked Matt’s video because he is widely respected in the airgun world.

And to get back to the original point of the post, it was about if the gun is underrated, which is subjective, but it certainly doesn’t seem underrated.

Very cool technology, very innovative, I’d have no interest in purchasing one of these but if you have one and love it, that’s great. I don’t really see a need or benefit of having this, but it’s cool

I’ve got an Impact M3 and there’s certainly people here who don’t like FX and wouldn’t consider the Impact an overrated gun, but I love mine. No need to get upset because someone doesn’t agree with you or like what you like. Thank god we have so many options on the market for everyone to be happy.

Hi all,
I contacted the pellet shop about my broken cocking mechanism in my aea
megalodon. what I received back was probably some of the most professional
treatment that I’ve ever gotten from a gun shop and gunsmith they were able to help me with the disassembly and help get my parts coming to me. Definitely an outstanding Shop!

Excellent idea. Looks awesome. Crow

how good are your groups at 50 yards? your tune and form need to be able to produce 50 yard groups under 1/2” or under 1” at 100 is not going to happen on purpose.
Any wind and especially a variable one at 100 yards will wreak havoc on your goal even with slugs.
your goal is admirable, but it is much harder than most people think to make it happen.

Click to expand...

I agree. Focus on getting a really tight group at 50 yards, and then go out to 100. 50 is a good distance to get your fundamentals down because at 50 there are a lot more variables to consider, so its harder to tell how much is your error vs the environment.

So far I have had the most luck with Patriot Javelin, but I plan on seeing how well NSA slugs work once the weather gets warmer.

I'd choose a Quackenbush .458 Outlaw and a hand pump, shoot a deer and call it good....

You could call Baker Airguns or crossman and see if they can help

I have a call into Crossman's tech support. I guess there's one person at the shop who handles these things and was out. I'm expecting a call back - I hope.

As far as weight, it is around 9 pounds and I've paired mine with the Element Optics Immersive 5x30 which is a lightweight wide field of view optic. The additional weight comes from features that come standard like the longer arca rail and folding stock. The barrel in this thing is also more of what I call a precision focused barrel vs. other shrouded barrels I've seen on other rigs. That heavier weight barrel is what has made the Karma brand known for extreme precision to include a few top podium spots with the Red Panda. So those larger precision barrels do add a bit of weight, but I'll take that additional weight for the level of precision this arigun offers.

So same trigger as the AEA? Ive heard mixed reviews, only the youtubers and donny say it is great, other owners not so much.

If you are using stainless fasteners in steel or aluminum use this stuff. It's the cats meow for anti seize/anti galling. It prevents stains and funkyness around fasteners in dissimilar metals and allows perfect torquing.





I heat the screws a bit and butter them up with this stuff. It's dandy. Like a flaky wax. You can find it on the internet.

tirian_narnia said:

Thanks for sharing these, I checked Kuben K1 and it's looking like a pretty solid option!
However I forgot to mention that I prefer a carbine build instead of bullup.

Also the Karma SLS Compact you mentioned fits perfectly my needs, however as I mentioned above it shares the same core with AEA SF Compact, which is known to have reliability issues as mentioned by other users here.

Eventually I will probably go for Karma SLS Compact if no other options fit these specs.

Click to expand...

While it may share the AEA core, it has DonnyFL behind it, so support will be quite good. I also would imagine that the deficiencies like the poppet have been directly addressed

When I opened the box my dad wouldn’t let me try it until he did. We went to the hardware store and got Freon. He said stand back just in case she blows. He wanted to send it back immediately because it was made of plastic. Nothing was plastic with airguns back then.

Click to expand...

When I received mine I had been anticipating the BB firing equivalent of an M60 machinegun, so when I opened the box it came in and saw how lightweight and cheap it was I was pretty disappointed. It would spray BB's like a hose until it iced up though and my parents didn't have any objections to it. I believe the clamshell yoke that held the freon can eventually cracked and that was the end of it. There have been some much better BB machineguns made since then, most of which are still available today, so this is one instance where I don't feel any nostalgia for the good old days.

Not hard to cut a barrel off. Just go slow and you will be fine.

If the quality of the barrel is good then there is no reason why it shouldn't shoot without a choke in it. If you are that worried about it, then you could always cut from the breech end and not touch the choke.

Anyone stripped the soft touch of an fx? It is a ranchero and has just a slight tacky feel to it. It is not bad yet but would rather deal with it before it does go gummy bear.

ok thanks

I use a 10 Meter Air Rifle competition target (AR 5/10) indoors at 20 yards.

I use a 0.177 approved plug and score "Best Edge" × "Worst Edge".

If the shot lands dead center on the dot, the plug will not touch the 9 ring and is scored 10×10 for 100 points.

If the plug covers the 10 dot and touches the 9 ring, the hit is scored 10×9 for 90 points.

If the plug breaks the 9 ring and is still touching the 10 dot, the hit is scored 10×8 for 80 points, if the plug is not touching the 10 dot the hit is scored 9×8 for 72 points.

Using the normal Best Edge scoring, my scores made me think I was one stud of a Marksman, but using Best Edge×Worst Edge proved that wrong.
