That was ingenious! Glad things are back on track.

My opinion about your scenario.......use a powder burner. Even a 22LR would be a better choice than a GK1 for hunting hogs.

I think the Daystate Huntsman Revere, the AA S510 series, and the FX DRS would be my top 3 picks. If you can track down the DRS Deluxe I think thats what I would be most drawn to.

One thing to keep in mind is that most all pellets will not like to be pushed too hard or too fast. The common fps cap recommendation for pellets is 850-880. Some pellets in some setups with some tunes will do well at faster speeds, but that is not the norm.

The air charge your pcp releases to push a pellet matters too. If the air charge is too aggressive even at slow speeds, you can disrupt flight out of the muzzle.

Some of us run very fast pellet speeds for hunting purposes, but there are drawbacks. For example my M3 Impact is setup to push 22Cal Hades at about 990fps right now. I get good groups out to about 60yds, but then the pellets veer off and really open up my groups. If I wanted to get a pellet out further I would choose a heavier pellet, slow it down, and tune for max accuracy.

Pellets are very very sensitive and have terrible ballistic properties. They can spiral through the air like a plane missing a wing, or randomly take a right turn etc. They like being lobbed gently toward your target, and can provide some terrific accuracy if you treat them right. So when deciding for a target tune and fps, its good to understand how pellets act/react.

My office is taking shape slowly but surely.

Saturday I spent some time making a gun rack for my current favourites.
This morning I re-arranged some if the shelves in the cupboard behind me to accommodate all sorts of shooting related stuff, my old bar fridge and my 3D printer.

It is small, but it is mine.

It remains a work in progress.

Do you guy keep a log of settings/tunes for your favorite pellets and uses?

Yes, even for the breakbarrels, at least to record what holds and pellets I've tried. Very quickly I realized I'd forget things. I use a lab type notebook with gridded pages; office max/depot/staples has them, soft-bound. If I have to go back and look something up, I also record it in a table of contents, because if I looked once, I'll probably look again. Next to actually shooting the gun, the notes have been most helpful.

I think it means:

HT - 5 turns clockwise inward from minimum tension
HS - 5 turns clockwise from striker fully retracted flush to hammer
TS - 5 turns CCW from fully closed

Thank you!!

Looks like 4 and 6 m lots of this posted and answered around especially at agbb

Just measure your length needed and buy ftom wherever / Amazon ..

my rear screw m4 I replaced the slotted with a torx pan head ... I have no issues with the rest . Just that one was factory defective I guess

Ok guys,
c3 has arrived and initial inspection went well,
everything about the scope is as expected,
this is my third budget scope,
some pics as comparison with my utg bug buster!!!
the first crosshair is of c3
and the second is of utg.
both have exact cross hair Pattern.
both weigh exactly the same.
both take the same 1620 cell
and last but not least
both have same exact length.

Thanks you too my friend

Keep us apprised of the progress please. I've been holding out to see how these do even though I've been happy with my other AGT rifles. Right now the Netvor tuned by master tuner Derrick is my #1 choice for a BB.

Well just so you know Derrick won’t have the gun in his hands until first weekend in December.

Nice shooting

The Notos is no toy but I regress, please have fun.

Hey Mod,
Have you had a chance to run a few pellets through that Mak?
I'm curious to hear if your findings are as favourable as mine.

Click to expand...

Not had chance yet, I will give it a go next time I go to the range.

Firewalker said:

Not in my guns.

AEA & JTS 18.1gr pellets seem to tighten up at 900fps or even faster.

That make sense to me. Thank you for the info.

Look at the positive side Jim PoH, of all the thousands of spring piston FT shooters there are in the world, only 36 made it to the world championships and you were one of them.

What did the LW bull barrel run you if I may ask ?

300

Corvid_hunter said:

That's pretty cool. Could the same thing be done with the 110 if someone wanted to make theirs smaller?

Click to expand...

the 310mm barrel is for the K model which has a shorter forearm stock,
where the normal barrel is 410 mm
the FAC is long 600mm barrel that is in my photo,,, black HW110 FAC on the left

marflow 777 said:

a question first
was the metal that nice or did it get refinished on the HV
now 10 years ago the FWB 300 was on everyone's mind everyone wanted one those that had them loved them and i would guess still do but when the Diana 75 was added to the conversation most would say yes but they are too hard to fix give me a 300 instead
and now that more people have went down the road of the 75 the attitude has changed and the Diana 75's have a more friendly following
now for me i only have 3 Diana 75's so you know where i come down on all this

Click to expand...

The bluing is all original. It does have some marks but overall is in very nice condition, especially for a rifle that is 44 years old, so I decided to leave it untouched. The stock on the other hand was very faded on one side, and the wood looked dry. The refinishing took care of this and the coloring is nice and balanced now. I only have this one Diana 75, but it is my favorite rifle.

These guys have amazing content for the FX Impact rifles. I have learned a lot from them. Look for their videos where they talk about ballistics for the Impact.

Chukar60 said:

I believe 18’s as well.
Please don’t assume when you get your new Impact that the factory or the dealer has actually “tuned” it unless you paid them for that service. Even then i would be suspect. I have bought 9 new FX guns over the last 3 years. Half of them came through our best known FX dealer. None of the guns exceeded nominally operating status when they arrived.

Click to expand...

Same experience. Mine was definitely not tuned to my liking when I got it either. I was able to drop the rear reg by 35-40 bar and it’s shooting the same speeds just about but everything is working a lot less. 90-100 shots per fill at 125/85 reg1/reg2 shooting 18.1g about 900fps.

Ordered!
Thanks Firewalker
