Leaving it in your truck is a bad plan especially if it's sitting in the sun getting extremely hot or even on the flip side extra cold will mess with a PCP of any kind. And FX regs are known to creep and you usually have to take a couple dry fire shots to get back to the set point. You can polish it up and make it better but not perfect!

Titan Reloading has some special order overruns of .355 sizing dies available and on sale. My .357 Bulldog is slugged .3555, so the .355 works great for sizing down the .356 Lee 124s Alox lubed boolits I use. Shot with those and accuracy was better than the Benjamin 147s.

Linky. Enjoy!

Let's get back to these ambidextrous squirrels with rifles, please.
I heard on the news that they are now considered abnormal and morally vacant, and will no longer be allowed to be armed
Can anyone corroborate that?

just my there's only 2

Yes and yes.
If they changed the safety you would never have known.
This gun isn’t my favorite, but it’s accurate, 18 FPE and I enjoy shooting it. Different from any thing I have. Crow

Better built, more beefy. I would choose the modern 50 over it if I had to pick. But the R8 has the looks and nostalgia.

I agree. The modern 50 IMO is a better handling rifle. It's lighter and shorter which makes it quick pointing and easier to manipulate. It also has more power potential. I think a soft tuned 50 would be a fantastic plinker. Perhaps nicer than my maxed out 30s?

I've always said the 50 is the one I'd choose if I could only have one. I have the most fun with my 30s but the 50 is more versatile. My intention with the R8 was to blend the two into my ultimate plinker. The size of a 50 and easy cocking of the 30s. It still may happen but I think a soft tuned 50 would have done me just fine.

My King is on the way back from UA. They had it 2 weeks. It was also leaking from the valve cap/holder. It was a small leak, and I had to take the pic rail section off to see it. I was going to fix it myself but after speaking with UA and them telling me it would be a free warranty repair I decided to send it in.

UA was great. Filled out the paperwork and shipped it to them.

I have been using dollar store kids bubbles since covid. I was working from home and didn't have any leak detect. So, I started using my kids' bubbles. They work great.

Sorry I just read your post again and don’t think I answered your exact question.
The Bullshark reg is definitely adjustable much like any standard internal adjustable Huma reg would be. So 170-175 isn’t an issue to obtain. Buuuuut don’t go adjusting it without building or buying a test gauge. The Shark obviously does not have an on board reg gauge like the Scout or Ranger.

I appreciate you circling back, thanks man! Without a test gauge, (presuming default is it 150) would you know how many turns of the screw will get you to 160, 170, 175?

Delooper, you certainly have more financial wisdom than I have shown since I entered this AG rabbit hole.
Maybe you should give me a little workshop on how to keep my money in my pocket/ account — instead of splurging it on AG stuff.

I haven't been terribly wise. But when I got into guns (again -- I had a 12-year stint out of country where I sold all my stuff) I basically had an agenda. I was buying for pesting, hunting and potential civil disorder. So I had a list of what to acquire. I got those things, and I was done. It took me about 3 years to acquire everything as my credit card would have fried to a crisp if I bought everything in one month.

When I started buying, it was around the beginning of the COVID lockdowns. So here in Canada, almost nothing was available. Then came the Trudeau restrictions on what kinds of things you could buy, so there was even more panic buying, etc. My first purchase was the wrong rifle for me, but I was just trying to acquire something approximating what I wanted, as there was almost nothing on the shelves. It took around a 1.5 year backorder to get what I was looking for.

On airguns there was some trial-and error, too. At first I got some 1322's. Even though they're pretty light little pumpers, they sit in a weird legal pocket in Canada. The slightest modifications of them can turn them into PROHIBITED WEAPONS, i.e. categorized basically like a fully-automatic rifle or anti-aircraft gun. The criminal penalties can be severe. So I acquired the Leshiy 2 -- far more powerful and versatile, but strangely not in such a weird legal situation. The reasons are all dumb and technical, stemming from our lawmakers not really knowing anything about firearms.

Of course!

I'm working on A Seb 250 joy stick front with Precision quest rear adjust put together for a one piece rest. So down the way I'll post pics. Have the regular Randolph front rest and just can beat them. !

I have probably 2000 pellets and a couple hundred slugs. The mags are working great and haven't had an issue with them in any way.

So the 9mm is not the caliber for the hm1000x.
Heard that the dedicated. 35 model has a bigger valve and that the valves are not interchangeable.

Gotta make hay while the sun is shining.

It was the first day in weeks which didn't require dressing for deep space

Just go on amazon and find a pattern you like and buy a roll. You will pay more for a "kit" and end up wasting a bunch due to our stocks being different shapes. I have done a few of my rifles as well as a few of my RC airplanes. They hold up really well, and are a breeze to remove if needed. There are a TON of patterns you can buy. Just prep the surface very good and take your time applying the vinyl and you will be ok. Most will have a shrinking ability so a little heat will remove most bubbles and wrinkles.

Well that shows a 25 mph wind with some up drafts if I am reading it right

I have had one for about 2 years and it seems to be ok. I haven't cronyed it lately but it seems to be shooting the same. I don't shoot it on a steady basis but so far it has been fine and a blast to shoot. I really enjoy mine and would buy it again. Maybe you need it resealed. How much do you shoot it? I read several reviews that said you need to keep it clean to operate properly.

I have torn it apart and cleaned it and replaced the breach seal. Maybe I need to reseal the whole thing. Thanks

Try that new Ares BTR G3 2.5-15 with .06 mil reticle thickness. A friend in my FT club is using a G2 Ares BTR 2.5-15 in Hunter. He finishes at or near the top and has gotten high score at our match quite a few times.

Was it a SFP Heras 6-24 or a FFP Heras FFP that Motorhead uses?

@steve123 …. Well I have a G3 2.5-15 on the way …. Valentines day sale at Eurooptics.

Now that's a guard rooster! I need to get one. Mine are chickens.

Taking vitamin D supplements helps me a bit.

Took the Sumo off. Put the 6 inch Talon Tunes back on as it is much quieter.

Now the question is, .25 19" or 24" ?
