Good mod!
I'm a fan of the Anderson plugs, much better connection then the clips. Installing the plug to the back of the truck would be more convenient for filling.

I just looked at one & it appears there's NO bipod rail, picatinny, dovetail or other on underside. You might have to mount your own 3 or 4" rail below. Let me know if I'm wrong. Reach out to other DRS owners here & see what they've done.

I think the only option would be a Picatinny rail adapter

Finished the piston for my Gamo. Machined diameter closer to size, as opposed
to factory piston that has a lot of clearance. Is that necessary? I don't know. I made
it a lot lighter than factory piston. And since i was at it, figured will try a Weihrauch
seal. I just don't like the wedge on Gamo pistons. Of course, Weihrauch has no 29 mm
seal! So had to figure out sizes to fit, as well to machine a seal down to size. All done.
Results: As expected, shoots slower than OEM. 725 fps from 740 fps. Sounds different,
wish i had a measuring device. But sure has less recoil.

Some optics can do it and some can't. Even the ones that will move the picture and keep the reticle centered have their limitations. You can look into a EagleVision mounts which gives you manual adjustability - this is about the best to help keep your reticle centered.

I've never owned and ATN, but know those who have. They have had mixed reviews. I would check out DNT Optics - my NV from them moves the images. Also the newer Pard scope format does that.

Mee too. What is a depinger ? My zelos seems to make a lot of metallic noise at gun when shooting. Is that pinging ?

I like neoprene covers. I’ve had too many problems over the years with flip caps. It seems like they always either lose a spring or just start falling off. Some bikini covers are OK and some aren’t. I like the rubber ones my Vortex came with. Overall though, I find that neoprene covers fit a wide variety of scopes, slip on easily and help protect the guns in the safe or in a 2 gun case if they bump each other.

They definitely work good for the safe gig.

I replaced my range finder and binoculars with Bushnell’s FusionX 10x40. They’re very clear, bright, spot-on accurate. I chose the FusionX because it was a great product at an excellent price. Although it ranges to one mile, my needs are under 100 yards so it works great. Sage rats don’t have a chance now. My kill ratio has increased dramatically and the amount of missed shots has been reduced significantly.

Cool ranging binos! Awesome pic of the huge ghog you anchored! Really nice shot

If we pre-order will we get the$399 price?

you better ask pyramid air on that..I highly doubt it, in fact unless things are worked out, they might not even leave China..
you could ask Tyler Patner, he's on the forum..

I've wondered if someone with more skills than me could solder or epoxy on a replacement stage-length tab...and maybe even drill/tap it for a little adjuster screw?

A piece that holds an adjustment screw could easily be sweated on.
That means soldered for some who might not know.
Would it still fit inside the stock? Might have to be relieved a bit.
You will lose a portion of the safety factor the first stage provides. What model does this trigger fit? What stock in particular?

I watched the first video. Had trouble keeping my eyes on the scope.

I see what you mean now.

If we study my chart some we can see my initial trajectory apex is probably right around 23 yards; but extends to approximately 32 yards. I could rezero the scope to the middle of the apex say 26/27 yards and reshoot, to minimize holdovers but in my case it’s not that critical since I have hard holdover values I have validated.
Good fun when you are kinda snowed in.

The Crosman Silhouette is probably what you are looking for. Comes without rear sight but can be fitted with scope for silhouette or rear sight for 10 meter.

Given no power-source or budget parameters in the OP, I agree that the Crosman Silhouette (often called by its model number 1701P), would be the best choice. Or maybe I should say "an AWESOME choice".

Manny25 · Jan 22, 2025

My dad had one when they came out in .25 and it shot really good at distance for a 25 back then for being pre slug era. Anyone still enjoying one?

For 280 bucks you can get a better gun.

@AirNGasman You are the leading expert in this field, and the go-to for inspiration and knowledge. Could you give us a quick list of what would be needed in a pcp pistol to compete under the current silhouette rules and criteria for max power to possibly knock down a 1/2 scale or even 1/5 scale?

@noremaximus Just an observation in the airgun building world, though the GK1 is a bit "expensive" under your above listed criteria, by the time you build something to fit your needs you'd probably have just as much into it as if you'd have invested in a GK1 and outfitted it with a good accurate optic.

Looks like my second post in this thread, that apparently came a minute after yours AH, probably answers your question(s).

However, what Zack wants to do doesn't follow silhouette rules. It will take a very powerful PCP pistol to consistently knock down 1/2 scale pigs at 50 yards (per his post). However that isn't the case with 1/5 scale silhouettes.

I'll now take this opportunity to apologize to Zack. The 1/2 scale pigs are not as large (so also HEAVY) as I thought they are, but it will nevertheless take something of GK-1 ilk for your purposes.

Zack, I'm attaching a copy of my TEXtreme Field Target Pistol rules for interest/reference sake, Bud; as you sound like someone who might appreciate Pistol Extreme Field Target.

Happy Shooting,
Ron

I have the tensioner installed an my L2 .30, 350mm. I have only shot a few times at approximately 40 yards. At that distance it was hard to tell if there was much improvement on accuracy, but I think there was a small improvement. I’ll have to play around with it some more. In any case, I think the tensioner will probably be more effective on longer barrels. After all, the barrel is supported almost halfway up (on the 350mm) by the receiver block so the tensioner is really only effecting a few inches of an already very stiff barrel. I do like the look but I wish it wasn’t so shiny.

Thank you ... as of right now, I'm just sticking with the base standard shroud as I jumped into a bench rest rig ( again ). Poof! $ GONE.

The machine · Jan 25, 2025

like stated above there is no BEST moderator it all depends on application what may be quiet on one will be louder on another
another thing to consider is power level once you get into 60 70 fpe range you will definitely hear what works.
the stock fx mod works very well for a hollow can it's also light .

I have the 1st and 3rd one. I like the 3rd the best. I got it to work in the app over WiFi, won’t work with iOS so you need an android. The problem is iOS will disconnect automatically if there is not “data” connection. Once using it in android I wast able to copy/paste the data. It will suddenly disappear also, oh and it only tracks 20 shots. It will purge the oldest. I found the app data useless, just use pen and paper or like I do and open excel on an iPad and use a Bluetooth number pad to quickly record.

I have the original labradar and the new LX, and I still find these cheap chronographs very useful for tuning a rifle. I’ve tested them against each other. The velocity might be off by as much as 30fps, but shot to shot they have consistently mirrored each other. So if one shot on the lab is 5fps slower than another he previous shot, the Chinese will also record 5 fps slower

Didn’t know about Wi-Fi. It’s also the one I now use. Did go outside and used the black one for ease of setup.
don’t think I’ll ever use the second one . It does work though and provides all the info . I mean $18 for someone that doesn’t want to spend more .

I am a very biased air gunner but I can’t believe there is a better gun than the Maverick from FX. Shoots slugs or pellets with the right barrel liner, 2 regulators(very precise pressures),very large plenum(power!), excellent adjustable trigger, well constructed(high quality!) and many, many aftermarket upgrades are available. If you equip it with the “Shooting with Phil”easy tune micrometer-based hammer spring system($125), it becomes EXTREMELY easy to tune. The new AMP regulators are really, really good and are now standard.
And you get very high shot counts because or the tuning benefits and it is available on the FX Wildcat, too, which is on the same “base” as the Maverick!
Again a highly biased view but I’m very pleased with mine!!!

better hurry up and buy or reserve to get the best price before the tarif incrreases hit ... most dealers do not stock too many mavericks ... used if you can find it ...

MongooseV8 · Jan 23, 2025

The Wildcat/Maverick have a lot less orings compared to the Impact, but still more than some other brands. I really like the Wildcat, so much it is the only new FX I will likely ever buy. For simple design take a look at the Gen 1 Taipan Veteran at Talon Tunes, he has a couple left.
