I may have to take it apart again. There is something in the compression tube that is preventing the cocking handle to complete the circuit. Maybe excess oil or dirt…If I hold the handle closed, load, close the breech and fire, it is fine. After firing the cocking handle goes into battery where it should be.

OK in the big bore category, what is ur minimum fps for your heavy ammo?examples of different calibers would like to hear

With what I have for pcps, AEA 357 side lever and .308 Texan I don't like going below 940 fps with 150gr I could go heavier but then it doesn't fit my needs. mine are considered mid bores now.

Hell yeah nice shot!

Old guy with old eyes. I like the SFP Element Helix scopes and have been upgrading my airgus to them.

I have $1000 FFP scope on my bench rifle and would gladly trade it for an equivalent SFP scope. The reticle is acceptable at maximum magnification when shooting white paper but is impossible to see at low power.

Just my 2 cents.

Cheers!

Negative. Got it in PM on here. Did they have a Short Mutant on AOA? Ive seen quite a few Taipans for sale on AOA lately for good deals.

They had a like new condition mutant on AoA and it was priced very appealing , I think it was a little over $600.00

I found Beeman's 1986 catalog that may provide a clearer picture of this topic.
Beeman's literature calls it the Mini (with the word Junior in italics) especially on the order page.
Thanks for the comments.

Beeman was a great dreamer. The Feinwerkbau company did not produce any minis, only the Juniors models.

I’ve got one of them.

I feel like I need an impact cuz it’s the ruger 10/22 of airguns.. I feel like everyone in this game needs an impact.

Yet the red panda looks so sweet and their winning competitions lately.

Next would be the evo and the alpha wolf. I wish I could spend $12000 and get them all!!

10 shots at 50yds. I'm happy with the tune. I was shooting for group. Now to get it zeroed. I'm using a Vortex 3-9x40 and can tell that I need more scope. My 50 year old eyes were struggling. So I guess I'll start doing some research on scopes.

My recommendation would be the Vector optic.
The glass in mine is gorgeous. Just a really nice scope and not all that expensive.

I love a lot about the Daystate Delta Wolf

I have had my .177 HP almost 4 years now and have probably put 30K+ pellets and slugs through it by now

- I love the ease of tuning and adjusting, when I am testing different ammo

(We have added factory settings for a lot of pellets and slugs)

- Love the build quality, the ease of cocking and the trigger

- Accuracy is very good and it is not pellet or slug fuzzy

Great guns!

Hi adam - the RWS 45 was also my first serious adult airgun. Absolutely wore that sucker out in the '80s. And then two days ago on a warm spring afternoon I pulled it off the rack for the first time in years and it was like travelling through the wayback machine. Hadn't shot it in a really long time, but the experience confirmed that it is still as fine a springer as anything in its niche. RWS Superdomes were the pellets that the vendors, Gerry and Carol Thomas, recommended and they were superb as were the 7.9 Premiers and H&N offerings. Today it seems to shoot well with any quality pellet, although you might want to try the RWS first.

enjoy your fine airgun!

Thank you very much I will definitely try out RWS pellets I just ordered a tin of Meisterkugeln pellets. My grandfather had a Diana model 45 and a Gamo Hunter 440 that we used to plink cans with so I have always had a connection to these two breakbarrels.

Got the viper .30 last summer. It's been a good pistol to have fun with. I run slugs and pellets. One magazine is missing the external spring so I run rmr bullets 2nd quality "slap" slugs. They are super affordable and hit the target. The other magazine with spring gets jsb or aea pellets. 44-45 grains for all ammo. It has a holosun eps carry reflex sight. Optional moderator. Weighs under 3 lbs loaded. Over 3 lbs with moderator. Tricky to sight in because each shot changes velocity as you loose air, so I have it set to get as close as possible but poi changes with each shot. You can absolutely hit your mark but then they will start to move away from center. It makes 30 lbs give or take. Velocity was taken with slugs. 10 shots per fill last shot 486 fps. My reason for going with this pistol was that the magazines can be removed and the gun can be de-cocked.

Great groups Mike!

The juice might be worth the squeeze after all.

And NO WAY I'm selling those Altaros 60's back that you sold me last year.

Those 60's will probably get you .1-.2 mils less wind drift than the 49.5's at the farther distances, depending on the conditions, which is hedging your bets on winning a tad better.

Man I love these slugs in my V3 and they smack steel hard too.

Damn, I was just going to ask if you still wanted them! I think a 20% increase in BC under certain conditions makes the juice worth the squeeze. I have .22 FX 700mm 1:16 that shoots the @Altaros Kings at 905 fps really well, so at 100Y BR if its not that windy I'll probably shoot them. If its windy or really switchy, I'll shoot the .25 @Altaros 60 grain Queens. And at the Long Range, I'll shoot the Queens no matter the condition.
I've been using the RA4 profile for the Altaros for all three that I shoot, the .22 King 40 grain, the .25 Smooth 49.5 grain and the .25 Queen 60 grain. It seems out past 200-250 yards the RA4 profile fits a bit better. For the .22 Kings I get 0.190 RA4, the .25 Smooth I get 0.195 RA4, and the .25 Queens I get 0.235 RA4.

Nice! I want! Daystate Howlers are made by NSA (Neilsen Specialty Ammo), not JSB just so you know.

Thank you. I got those mixedd up with Daystate RangeMasters. I did put a correction in the pinned comment. I always get at least one thing wrong per video. That's how I roll. Thanks for the technical help! -Nate

Paul does outstanding work. We have a few of his FT targets at DIFTA. The huge range of designs are super fun to shoot and have real character.

We also purchased 10 sets of 4x spinner targets with the 'paddle' sizes custom chosen to make for FT practice over the 10-55 yard range. These really help build confidence as you move from larger to smaller targets at each distance.

These compressors work, however, they've fallen out of favor due to a 12-18 month lifespan and limited rebuilding success. As charlie99 said, best way to test compressor is to deadhead plug (pictured) end of fill whip (hose) and pressurize system. A good compressor builds and holds pressure after shut-off. MAKE SURE TO RELEASE PRESSURE BEFORE RE-STARTING COMPRESSOR. Check spare parts that came with compressor, deadhead plug likely included. Knowing the gun takes air and if compressor checks out might be a problem with hook-up to gun. Would handpumping friend be available to verify proper hook-up? WMView attachment 550976

My hand pumping friend tried it and he couldn't figure it out either. He yas only ever used the hand pump, and is fairly new to this himself. But i think the advice I've gotten here will help when i try again tomorrow. Thank you.

A wide variety of rests to chose from actually.
I need to build a shelf to keep them stored.

I've been meaning to try the JTS as well, looks like they shoot pretty good for you.

Yes they did and I expected that since my D54 .22 likes them. I will try them in the other guns going forward.
