Shelleen posting for Brink,

Another very small turnout for our November match. Getting into the winter months with the colder weather isn't very attractive for some shooters, especially as we get older.

I’m down in Lafayette. There are few guys down here and we’re going to try to put some kind of shoot together in the spring.

I had the best FedEx driver for 5 years, then the independent company she drove for, sold the fleet and canned them all.

The new driver is somewhat capable but lacks a personality.

Four truck tires arrived Monday late, he put them on the sidewalk off of the driveway, I appreciate that.

Can you divorce her, and keep both airguns for yourself?

Hello everyone,

I placed an order for some replacement O-Rings to fit the Breech end of the Barrel on my .22 cal Diana Bandit and have a lot of extras.

The “FKM” are also the same color as the factory originals and it appears to be the same material.

The Buna-N 90 is a slightly different material but if you read the specifications for both materials, I feel certain that they will work just as good as the FKM in this application.

If any member has any one of these guns ( see below ) and would like to get 4 of these O-Rings free, 2-each FKM & 2-each Buna-N. Send me a PM and I will give you my mailing address. Then send me a self addressed envelop with a stamp on it and I will send you two each of the O-Rings.

Theses will fit a 22 caliber:
Artemis, Bandit, Chaser, Snowpeak, SPA and Stormrider and probably others.

Damn kids. Oh yeah welcome to the Rabbit Hole®

Thanks for your responses. Good to know that the loading is a bit finicky for others as well.

Man, I wish I could use an air gun to hunt deer....
Congratulations on filling the freezer!
Are you going for more this season?

Like Mike said, air density is what matters, and it is driven primarily by temperature, barometric pressure, altitude, and to a lesser extent, humidity. Density altitude is a convenient way to express the combined effect of these factors.

It may be counterintuitive but all other things being held equal, humid air is less dense because water vapor is less dense than nitrogen + oxygen (dry air) and more water vapor brings down the overall density. I can say for sure that when i was a young, limber golfer my drives would sail farthest on a hot day with high humidity. Cold dry air would knock down the ball more quickly. While I wasn't good enough to adjust my wind calls, it's safe to say the ball pushed around more in the wind in cold dry air.

It's been long said that raindrops don't affect firearm projectiles because the bullet spends so little time in the air that it rarely collides with a raindrop. With airgun pellets the same is probably true but not quite as rare since airgun projectiles spend relatively longer time getting to the target.

There's another layer - since we shoot air-powered platforms, the projectile velocity can vary when there are big swings in absolute air density. So sometimes when we think we're seeing the effect of external ballistics (how the pellet flies) we may actually be observing changes in internal ballistics (how the pellet gets moving).

Last scheduled match of 2024!

The threat of cold weather quickly evaporated and the guys that came out enjoyed near perfect weather, Bill even took his sweatshirt off halfway through the match!

I just got my rifle back from the Worlds that morning, and it was absolutely caked with fine sand and dust, no way was I shooting that, so I grabbed a spare Steyr and the wrong pellets, unfortunately it took me six lanes to realize I wasn't using the right ones, and a quick walk up the hill to grab my FX pellets and voila, my rifle was shooting great again, just too late for a decent score.

Bill shot with Jim, and whilst they weren't the fastest shooters of the day, Bill did come up with the best score of the day, while we waited Chris and Grant shot the tank (possibly the hardest, or second hardest on the course) off hand, well I thought it would be fun... well that didn't work so they both shot the Invicta horse off hand and Grant won that shootoff.

Weather has been a blessing to us this year, only had to cancel one or two, lets hope next year will be kind to us too!

There is a chance we could have a bonus match in December if the weather allows, so keep your eyes peeled for any news!

Thank you to everyone who came out and made the club fun, thats the whole point of it, bad score or not, its worth coming out to play, and also a big thanks to Brad Troyer, who came out early and gave the course the TLC needed for everyone to have fun!

God Bless

I have fond memories of my old Crosman 760 and I certainly didn't know I need a 1377 until this thread!

It certainly looks like someone put some serious wood working effort into your stock set.

Hands down best quality scope under 200.00

LOVE MINE!

I have a .22 Airacuda Max and a .22 Avenger (the one from around 2020-2021, not X).
My Avenger outshoots the Airacuda in accuracy and number of shots.
Airacuda has a much better build, if you can fix the issues (leaks mostly).

This has got to be one of my favorite threads

Seeing you already have and your having to buy again I'd say its perfect. At 6x should handle the need at that

yeah id hate to put more money in a pest control rifle but with the huge banner scope it looks a bit ridiculous... And if im going to spend more $ was hoping to be able to have day / night scope like the NV100 Plus (3-12X56). what are some of the budget friendly scope that you all use.. something with side focus.... a NV setup would be nice but even with new tech and costs coming down think they'd be out of budget

i have had a 853 for years one of those rifles that i bid on with the hope i would lose no luck there
i got it out a few weeks back to do something with it and notice the safety did not feel right and it did not have the spring and ball easy fix i have that stuff on hand
so i had a chance to re assemble the trigger housing and that went okay and then installed the sear spring easy enough
but thought maybe i could get a lighter spring and found a replacement and then tested the trigger without it all together no spring
trigger works fine without it and it is a bit lighter
so the hammer spring resets the sear and the sear spring does what
is the sear spring even needed as of now i would say no
opinions please

@MikeVV , this is the actual barrel length on the Pathfinder. A shorter shroud would achieve what you want… Then there’s the matter of the stock…

Perfect,
Thanks much for the dimensions on the Pathfinder barrel, much appreciated.
Not exactly sure how to work the barrel, shroud, and some sort of add-on muffler, but this gives me a good reference.

And yeah, I guess it's worth doing a search for a full sized stock before buying the full Sniper XR rifle. Although, right now, the XR with the 300cc cylinder is pretty cheap!

Excellent questions! First, the Leshiy 2 is super cool (I own two, one in .22 and one in .25, both purchased early in the Leshiy 2 lifecycle). That said, you're absolutely right - it's hard to find out what all those options / version mean. I *think* the REPR means that it has an adjustable regulator that was a late addition that I do not have. The other versions are mostly changes in stock, forearm, suppressor, and bbl length. My Leshiy's are stock factory guns, with the factory suppressor which is adequate for my needs. My .25 shorty barks a bit and my .22 is quite a bit quieter. Neither disturb the neighbors but both frighten off all the surrounding critters, at least for a few minutes.

Both are compact (assuming you don't attach a 6-250x scope with a 150mm objective) and especially so for transport, where you can fold the stock.

I get a good three mags (18 shots) from the "aluminum tube" (stock) which I find more than adequate. YMMV, depending on tune, etc, but it's enough for a good hunting session.

Cons: the damn Huben owners just won't shut up! ;-), they're expensive, magazines are stupid expensive. (That said, I rarely change mags. I usually just load the installed mag "in situ".) There's no .50 version...

Pro: they're as fun as they come. They seem pretty robust. Mine have been bullet proof, but I see some issues reported here and there online - make of that what you will.

The trigger is - well, it's what it is. I don't mind it, but some do. There's a hiss if you're exercising a slow pull, but it breaks cleanly and it's not heavy. I think it's fine. I have years of competing with various powder burners, with varied triggers, and I really think it's a matter of "can you pull a trigger?" or not. If you can, the L2 isn't going to be a problem for you.

All that said, I haven't tried the Huben (which I consider the direct competition), so it may be that I don't know what I don't know...

I agree a bigger hole might have dropped him quicker. I had 2 run further than this with lengthwise front of chests hits from my P35-25 but I probably only got one lung. I never had a runner from a side to side hit from a 30+ fpe 22 or a 25. But I like the 177 for shooting in my backyard.
