I strongly believe this is the ultimate goal of every airguner who is involved in this hobby, no matter how affordable or expensive could be the airgun we are using to try to achieve this. Well after doing some research I found this very interesting youtube video of this spanish speaking famous airguns reviewer with a Avenge-X classic synthetic stock achieving this with a .25 cal shooting the AEA center punch pellets 35 grains. I took some screenshots from the video along with the tune he was using to achieve this, to shared here for the benefits of all the airgunner who might be interested and don’t have a chronograph.

He was using the following tune, the reg was set @ 175 bar with the hammer spring 3 full turns in (clock wise) from all the way out with the 25 grains and 6 1/2 turns in with the same but heavier AEA 35 grains pellets. He was using a Discovery scope 4/20x50 wirh a DonnyFL Yokozuna moderator and a UGT bipod.

@hitech If you’re filling the tank more than 250 bar, try stopping at 250 and see if it holds air. I had the same problem and it went away after filling to 250 and no more,

Nope, only filling to around 230-240 bar, but thanks for the tip Pfddi. I recieved the gun empty which I thought was odd. I've bought many PCPs over the last 20 years, never once did I get one empty, so I figured it had a slow leak. I think I read one of your posts where this had happened to you (or another Vet owner) and I remembered not to go over 250, so I stopped short.

Solved. Took a couple hundred pellets but I had to adjust the valve in quite a bit. Groups tightened up and my shot count almost doubled. This afternoon I put 94 rounds thru it and I still had air. Apparently I had too much air behind the pellet destabilizing the pellet. Glad I figured it out because I love shooting this gun.

What are your thoughts on that caldwell vice? i've looked at them. actually a little surprised they aren't cheaper.

I ordered M4. / 700 mm. He’s going to tune it for me. Looking forward to getting it. He says he’s thinking 40 gr Altaros slugs.

I bought way too many since it looked like a good deal, but I'm regretting it. I've got a pellet sizer on the way and I'm going to try resizing them. Better to pay 11 cents a pellet for a good pellet from FX than 7.5 cents for oversized Apolos.

The skirts are nice and thin so if your resizer pushes the dented skirts back out then that could be helpful.

My .30 RAW shot them decently well on Saturday but shame on me I forgot to bring my normal JSB 45s for comparison. (It was not dead calm that day)

Airgun Nation is not the place to solve the world problems. Keep politics out of the discussion.

See you at the shows i have listed Stan in KY

Goes into program mode W/O being prompted ... Switch on trigger is working ... BAD BOARD would be my guess.
Ideal time to put in a HELIBOARD

Registration is going great and we have 25 entered since last Saturday when registration opened. This is shaping up to be a great GP event. We will be using a few different lanes on the Hollow course this year and like last year you will shoot 3 separate courses. Saturday dinner is catered by Bad Ax BBQ which we were very happy with last year.

Found the problem. I turned the adjustment screw behind the trigger all the way closed. After that it had enough air for a few shoots before it ran out of air. Thank you for all the suggestions on what it might of been.

I should've read the whole thread, but i will leave it for future lurkers to reference.

This is the Bintac s45/357. With a 580cc front carbon fiber tank installed after purchase. Total air capacity is 830cc, now its enough air for 24 rounds per fill (finished at 250bar). Stock trim is 600cc 16 rounds per fill.
This is a blast to shoot ive put 150 rounds or so through it.
It's got two ebay 3d printed bottle clamp picatinny rails on the tank for 9 inches of continuous rail. (One I cut down to 4 " to make work) Optics factory angled grip fits without hanging off and leaves room for a small light / or bipod- tripod mount. Cheap paracord sling, feyachi v90 reflex.
It runs texoma precision 125 grain .356 slugs. Shoots in the 820s fps range and makes 185-190 lbs.
Issues: one small problem I caught was the screw holding down the clear cover on one magazine was a little too tight causing the wheel to get hung up in the last position, with no tension on the last round, it ejected itself out the back of the magazine. Just
loosened up the cover screw a touch and it's working fine now no issues no dragging.
It is definitely loud. I just received a texoma precision barrel extension tube to run a moderator, and just ran 3 magazines through it with the emperor .50 cal with zero cycling issues. It measures 34 inches overall muzzle break to shoulder rest. Or 44 inches with emperor moderator.

Charlie tuned a Zbroia Kozak that I forever regret selling. That thing was a tack driver when I got it back.

Hey “Tommy Taipan”,

You are far from being done, lol... and you can always send the ones you are not using to me, as I seem to be the home for forgotten air rifles…

What I’ve noticed is that for you to be shooting those kinds of scores immediately upon receiving the rifle, it must “fit” you. You always told me that you prefer traditional rifles over bullpups, but perhaps this Taipan fits your shooting style more than you expected.

Makes me want a standard in .177 and a long in either .22 or .25. They are such nice rifles to operate.

-Ed

Ed - Ha Ha.

The gun safe in the garage is full, and it will be very hard to explain to Lucy why I can’t fit any more rifles in the safe, especially IF…..I buy any more. The good news is I do shoot them all and often, and the ones I have are good quality air guns.

The Taipan Long with 700 mm barrel “feels” like a Traditional rifle when I have it on the bench. It’s a beast with the 42oz DNT 7x35x56mm scope, but since I just use it for paper target shooting I’m fine with that.

Anyone shooting the AEA 21.9g? Just curious what your experience has been so far.

vettebullet · Mar 29, 2025

You need heavier hammer weight to over come the higher reg pressure or heavier hammer spring or combination of both more hammer weight and stronger spring

Vana2 · Mar 31, 2025

Nice setup!

I was thinking about setting up a small garden shed for shooting. Decided that since I could just step out the door to shoot any time the weather was suitable, a patio umbrella was all I needed to keep the sun out of my eyes.

Cheers!

Mrshosted · Apr 4, 2025

Bummer, if you end up with a V1 let me know.

Ranchibi · Mar 29, 2025

A couple others to ponder would be an Avenger X and Umarex Zelos......and maybe an Umarex Notos.

Johnnys_Worx · Apr 9, 2025

Update:
So i sent my regulator out to a local machinist. He drilled and tapped the two fill ports to fit two different foster fittings. On one side is the standard foster fitting. On the other is a 1/8 BSPP check valve fitting. Why? Well it was a mistake actually! I didn't realize I gave him the wrong fitting (check valve). But in Hindsight, not an issue as it will work as a backup check valve for the regulator itself. I may be removing the standard foster fitting and plugging the hole. Ill be fully reassembling it all soon and testing it. Just no time. I work 3 Jobs. Makes it hard to have time to just chill and play with my guns.

Cran · Mar 29, 2025

Here’s one for the detail guys. Different knockdown power between equal grain slugs or hollow point at same (125 reg pressure on wildcat3) AND what are you wildcat shooters liking for max using reg pressure. I know thatwill punch it up but not experienced enuff to be comfortqble with 150 or so? Thoughts? Thanks men! And any of the fair sex out there!

bearair · Mar 29, 2025

Thanks for the heads up. I was looking at that earlier today.
