To your point, scopes have come so far the last 10 years, it gets harder and harder to spend for the top tier. I would have to be doing this for a living to test those out to even find out what I think.

I do want to try that DNT 7-35. I tried an Arken, 5-25 maybe, and it was a very good scope for the money. It gets great reviews. I am currently shooting a Meopta 5-30 and am super happy with it. That is the only reason I haven’t tried the Theos or Zeiss. I’m not sure I’m going to gain enough for the shooting I’m doing right now.

Having used those nicer scopes, I can say I have seen the improvement going up, but it becomes how much you are willing to invest to pay for the improvement. Steve, I agree with your comment about trying to get the most out of my money, as that is where I am at now.

That same Meopta Optika 6 5-30 is on my new Skout EVO. Can't beat that IQ for the money and IIRC I paid $599 for it on sale. The turret lines don't quite line up all that well with the indicator on the housing, and the ZS isn't great so I took the offending gizmo out, but otherwise it's a good scope. I'll leave it on there for a while and see how I feel in a few months.

Hello you have the update mora so no need to set the spring hammer, no more spring it's a pneumatic system with automatic setup with the air pressure.
If you have trouble with power, check the barrel if it's turn at the right position.
Before, with the first one you had to turn the valve, but this is not the case on the new models.

You simply have to turn the barrel so that the transfer port openings are facing each other. It's even simpler than before.

Is there a manual or information online to tell me what I should torque my screws on my fx impact m4.

Bandito · Mar 24, 2025

Jungle shooter, THANK YOU, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. It is truly cool to be appreciated. Remember though I am the much maligned, poor, innocent, infamous Bandito. Now! What airgun or related device did YOU buy today ? ¿ ? Be Well Brothers, Bandito.

I was looking at the used Lab Radar but luckily read the instructions first ,so that is a no go . MY shooting lane is to crowded with stuff .

The front gauge on the right hand side is the bottle pressure gauge. The rear gauge on the left hand side is the reg gauge used for both regs.

That D50 in the bottom photo absolutely oozes Diana vintage classic, Mike! SOOO COOL!

Thanks! That rifle may be the luckiest auction-site find of my life, to make a long story short.

It's a US import by Stoeger's of New York, who in the late 50's/early 60's sold the Diana 35 and 50, exclusively in .22 cal, under their "Peerless" brand. This is the earlier of two versions of the 50M. It has extensive checkering, both machine and hand-cut; and the cheekpiece sticks waaaaay out there - created by laminating on a second piece of wood.

i gave a pass to at least 5 pigeons today. When the dairy was infested with them they got zero mercy. At the now defunct dairy they are not as plentiful and the sparrows and starlings are cooperative…

Finally a nice day with low wind so headed to my Fremont permission. Had a productive day and dropped 22 pigeons. Best day in quite a while. Shot the majority inside the barns with my .22 Crown with the power turned down to 4 and a couple others with my DRS classic .25 cal.

Great job on the pigeons, but please, please, please get that gun off the ground. She is too gorgeous to be laying among the vermin…

Great shooting on your part.

50 shots you ain't even got it broke in,, If you can find you a 10 inch barrel it will shoot even better . I have to fight the urge to get a bottle for this pistol..

Yeah, that is it, thanks.
So between Alamo and Euro you can build a walnut stock FX Boss .30 for the measly sum of $2100 or more.

Got up early loaded my guns, bottle range box and chronograph into the car... Didn't bother checking the weather.. I have permission to shoot on a small dairy farm about a block away...
When I arrived I walked out to set my bench and reality hit or should I say weather 50mph winds coming right in face !!! Now I come home and check my weather.. Lowest wind and for the next week 20mph and gust to 50mph !!! Maybe I will get a chance The 28th !! Oh well, I guess some chrony work in the shed..
They say here in Illinois, we can wear a parka and shorts on the same day !! Windy city, more like windy STATE !!

I think everywhere east of the Rockies has been windy or bad weather for the last couple of weeks, at least here in E. Texas

Thank you for your reply.

The Uragan stock is so well designed it should be illegal to offer anything other than real wood.

U2 Walnut Compact easy choice.

I'm not an experienced user of FX products, but I've had a couple of FX airguns and see the usual comments about FX on the forums.

Just had a quick look at their site: https://fxairguns.com/

Can you list a few currently available FX products that are missing from their web site. Or maybe some items still on the site that are so old or unavailable that they should not be listed anymore?

That's the kind of specific follow-up info to the original post that might benefit someone who is unfamiliar with FX products and depends on their website for initial information. I usually get most of my purchase decision info from comments on airgun forums like this. And like anyone else, I usually check a manufacturer's website as well. On reflection I mostly do that because the manufacturers' web sites usually include a full list of technical specifications on their products. Many vendor websites seem to leave out important specs from the product descriptions, like the weight of an airgun. Perhaps because once an airgun gets up into the 9+ lb weight range, listing the weight in the product description might hurt potential sales.

Maybe check the trigger pull set screws....if the pull is too light the sear wil not engage.

Where is trigger pull set screw. If it’s adjacent to trigger, but not part of trigger. Have watched u tube video on trigger adjustment. Followed instructions numerous times. Will not cock

That's really a good question. My itch may actually be to just have a brocock or FX. light animal control or plinking. I've got some nice guns, but no great guns and the shortcomings are generally the trigger. I'm a huge rimfire shooter and so trigger really matters as I usually modify my guns. I find the air guns to be more complicated though since i'm rather unfamiliar.

If trigger is a big thing to you and it should be) the Benjamin Marauder has actually has an outstanding trigger. If desired you could get a decent walnut stocked one (or synthetic or) and have a ton of money left for other goodies. With 4 minutes work it really is that good.

.I wish he had included a H&N slug. I shoot the 21 grain from my 22 caliber Caiman X and at impact velocity pretty close to 900 fps they expand nicely - but penetrate significantly less than a non-expanding pellet.

Those goats seem roughly the size of coyotes.

@OldVet bet that will look sweet.

I hope , but at least I'll be able to comb my hair I have left in the shine lol

Something is definitely broken. The check valve screw is super loose in the cap, I don't see how it would possibly seal. So I need a check valve, possibly a fill probe and maybe an end cap.
I sat on hold with Air Venturi for 10 minutes while I found the parts on PA, so I just hung up and ordered a new probe, check valve and end cap.
