I have a 22 sidewinder and it is quite accurate, but I have to say that if I were picking a gun out of the ones I have on hand for competition it would likely be my fourth choice. My human comes ahead of it as the trigger is so much better Then I have a bottled LW barreled Marauder that is good for bench shooting and an Air Ranger that is simply outstanding. All are in 22 caliber, and all three perform better than the Sidewinder.

Thw Sidewinder is a fine gun, but I don’t see it being used for many competitions.

Yeah I hadn't seen it either. Just wasn't sure why as it was praised for accuracy, and comes in at a somewhat comparable price point as stock models go. I figured folks here would know. So far the answers make sense.

Some one mentioned something like tiny harmonics.. maybe he has no shoot one of my barely 14mm barrel uragan that without tension you could not even see where the slug went .. a proper hunting air gun I understand the want for a light barrel.. but damm a 34" to 38" bullpub is a bench gun . In that case I really cant understand why people keep wining about weight , that is why companies have being pushing thinner barrels in order to comply with the idea a a light pcp.. 16mm should be the standard thickness.. 15mm the minimum depending on the leng .. big bores should be standard 18mm .. the thicker the barrel the less ammo piky it would be assuming that both barrels the thinner one and the thicker one are exactly the same , and perfectly macined

Recently purchased an Evanix S10 SL SHB with a missing magazine. I assumed it required the feed type magazine however there is no actuator to rotate the magazine

What type of magazine does it require please

How does the magazine turn ???? There is no mechanism visible

Very confused Any guidance greatly appreciated

Sounds like a shim might have gone missing somehow. I would be doing some measuring.
You should be able to see a slight gap on both sides of the breech block.
There is a procedure to removing/replacing the breech bolt on a Theoben.

Same. No free fall. Same gun just shroud.

Checkout this orcair,
I have been using it for few last weeks and is very simple to maintain also.
the only problem with this one is ur pcp will be loud without a moderator using this chrony,
but I did Jerry rig a vacum adapter to use my 0db with this chrony and it’s super fun now to read every shot.

That kind don't fit many guns today . Especially the fixed moderator types

Pretty much anything outside a traditional non shrouded barrel you may be in n trouble.

Maybe they sell ( at extra cost per each) a adapter for them



Lol... Cheap china bolt on can work on each above

Cool. Let us all know how this works!

If it is QUIET it is QUITE noiseless! Spelling English is tricky. Be Well Brothers, dito.

Just get a 1mm thickness, neodymium button type magnet & attach to breech or lever. Revoman has done something like that if I'm not mistaken. It works & it's cheap. Chime in at any time Mike (Revoman)!

Just got Beeman 2027.

...Plus, the Zelos is not as compact as the M60B. This is a trivial issue, but I prefer the shorter OAL of the m60b...

But they CAN be!

Yes. that was a bad storm for folks in those mountains. It tore up a lot of old growth forests in its path, not having a storm come through like that in the recent past.

The scope on the 700 doesn’t appear to be actually mounted, may just be the picture though. If it is, thumbing the hammer looks like it would be difficult.

I’ve only used a red dot on mine but it works fine. I made a folding stock for it and it’s a really fun gun.

It is definately mounted. That is the scope that Ron had on it the day I test fired, and bought the pistol. That version of the pistol has both dovetail and weaver rail. Hard to see the dovetail rail from that angle.

Take a look at these threads relating to the Velox. You will get plenty of opinions.

Well... there is a toon of fanboys and youtube videos praising the gun, and some people and videos saying its garbage, that breaks easily, lose air and overall it's bad quality and gimmicky.

400 bucks is a pretty high price to trow on something I'm not sure about, and I can't make many mods or improvements, so I think I will pass on this, probably in 2025 some company will release a better pistol sized, semi-auto cheap option now that clearly there is market for this.

I'm not sure what's so new about it as it does what my 2 year old JTS does now? From what I see they added another carrying handle for an extra $400. LOL

the first gen i had was a POS, i got a 3rd gen and upgraded firmware often.
it seemed to be ok til i discovered the zulus.....never looked back

Simple fix... if you have the tools...
But I also run 2 Set-screws to secure my barrel..
Just making sure the barrel doesn't pull out when it is under tension....

The strap wrench looks like a nice solution. I'd suggest not just put a lot of pressure on it, but to tap the wrench with a hammer. The same way an impact drill works better with less force than a normal drill.
I hope it works for you!

For the money, you can't beat it. I'm in so far now that I got the PARD Landsat Compact 640! It is really the at the top of the mul;ti-spectral food chain now! The only gripes I have so far are that the NV is about 6x on the first zoom making it tough to find the target, but the thermal starts at 2 so it's real easy to use it and then push the button to switch or have the PIP working! So far it's the ThermNight on steroids!

I have it mounted on a Western Sidewinder S in .25 and just got a rat or large mouse in the back yard at 20 yards. Clear with both the thermal and the NV! I had the gun loaded with FX 26g slugs and whatever it was, the slug blew it up! I didn't record it because I forgot to put the SD card in!

Just got a Redwolf .22 Hi power and was thinking of doing some coyote hunting. I am definitely going to take a headshot, but I was wondering if anyone has taken a body shot with a Redwolf or something similar?

Click to expand...

There was a guy on here that took one with a body shot from a Walmart Ruger break barrel gun with cheap pellets. If I recall, he only went about 100 yds and tipped over.

greenbeans said:

Exactly that one, 1:17.7. At least that’s what the standard barrel on the .22 Fady is supposed to be:

“Other than that, in keeping with Fady’s record-breaking approach, all other features are standard. These include a 20-point power dial; adjustable regulator pressure; carbon air bottle; BRK moderator; moveable Picatinny scope rail and the ability to accommodate a range of accessories such as adjustable butt pads and single shot loaders. The barrel is a premium Lothar-Walther with a 1-in-17.7" twist as standard. An optional accessory barrel with a 1-in-30" twist is releasing soon.”

One thing in the Fady list of equipment. He used a DonnyFL Ronin moderator when he shot his world record match. There are pictures of him on the bench when he shot that match. He said that at the time he shot his world record match, he was not shooting for Daystate/Brocock. After his world record, he said he was approached by both FX and Daystate/Brocock, and he choose to shoot for Daystate/Brocock.

I got this holster that GoGun has that's made for the GK1. This thing is the truth, if anyone is still looking for a holster for their GK1, this is the way to go in my opinion. It's kind of expensive at $70 but well worth it. I took this thing out into the woods, I was walking through the woods, ran a little bit, branches and bushes hitting against me, my GK1 did not go anywhere. I'll admit it, I was out there playing cowboys seeing how fast I could draw my gun

I use these 3M Tri-M-ITE Wet Dry Polishing Abrasive Paper 400-8,000 grit sheets wrapped twice around a cotton bore mop so they fit fairly snug. They work great for doing exactly what you want to do, and Ieveling off high spots and cutter chatter marks. I let it follow the rifling and don't rotate, except maybe a little at the lead in to knock down rough edges.
