I appreciate the info. I have not had the opportunity yet to try myself, but knowing that others have had success gives me hope/confidence that rain won’t necessarily ruin my chances for logging velocity data.

Great shooting! Thanks for sharing!

I have owned two Huben K1's. I wouldn't think it would make a good FT gun because:

It doesn't come in .177, and, being a bull pup design, the trigger is definitely not match quality. Not even close.

The K1's are great for what they do and are for. Which is, unbelievable power, great accuracy, and flawless (as long as you use the correct ammo) semi-automatic functioning. But, a FT rifle, they are not IMHO.

One good thing is I can shoot at my house. I have a shooting bench in my garage.. I open the window and have 100 yd range.. I’d just like to get some experience at a live competition.

How happy are you with your MA2? From what I've seen & read I'm surprised you don't hear much on the forum about them. I personally think they're a lot of gun for the money.

I have been very pleased with it. It definitely has decent power (80fpe). It has been very accurate with JSB 44.75 gr and AEA 45 gr. I've been consistently hitting 1" targets at 50 and 75 yds. Groups at 100 and 125 are still decent, but loses quite bit of energy by that time. Yet it still hits hard. It'll swing steel gongs up to 100yd, and still move them decent at 125 with an audible report of contact. So it has lived up to the hype. When I want more power and range, I grab the Bulldog M257.

I will begin an O ring replacement on all in the receiver tomorrow fingers crossed will shoot my Dynamic today instead always a pleasure thanx for the helpful responses......

@rcrawford58 Did it sound like he was saying that the power level was adjusted too high?

I asked about that very thing, he said you could use it at full power without sacrificing reliability. He also stated for slugs to use a higher power setting. I

What size is it?

Not sure about op’s numbers when it comes to the fx barrel kit. I also strongly disagree with that route being the least effective use of money. Lol. 350 bucks for a kit plus 35 dollar mag from QD fox. Guessing going to 30 you are most likely buying the moderator no matter what route you take if you are buying it for the impact as it will be as quiet as any other 30 pretty much. I can’t speak for the impact switch but it is a pretty quick process in the Maverick from switch to tune. Investing 400 bucks into the m4 seems pretty sound. Or you could spend 400 on a budget 30 that is much more cheaply built. That is some people’s thing. I can’t tell you how many people I’ve ran into over the years in various hobbies that say “I would never spend a cpl thousand on X” but have 4-5 budget Xs for several hundred a piece

Everyone that has one of these compressors should do this mod. It's easy, free and gives a real benefit. IMO, it should have come this way from GX.

How to cool a cs4 or cs4-i, even better than just bleeding the air pocket.

i just might do that. its the next project on my never ending list of things to do...

Congrats on shooting your new rig! The spacer you made looks really nice too. That speed is pretty hot for the monsters - was the accuracy ok?

Click to expand...

The HM1000x is not broken in yet so I'm mostly using culled pellets (from sorting sessions) and shooting at close (25 yard) range.

So, damaged pellet skirts aside, the rifle is shooting well. I shot a half mag as it fell off the reg and a 20fps drop really tightened up the group. It's too early to think about making changes to the factory tune.

Cheers!

I have been known to occasionally cock and uncock my springers and gas ram guns. To make sure they are still functioning smoothly and that the gas ram is still holding pressure. And pump up my Benjamin 347 a few times to keep the seals pliable.

Longevity with or without maintenance..
That is the question.
I have had three IZH46 pistols.
I sold one and gave one to son #1.
I have one left.
It has shot in the neighborhood of 25,000 7.0 RWS pellets.
A little oil on the compression tube every 500 shots.
I store it with a pump of air (Like the Bluestreak).
I have to replace nothing but I have all the parts to do it.
We have others that shoot with me that have similar numbers without a failure.
They are tough as nails!

Going with the H&N 34gr
Thanks for the feedback I'll try that. Want distance did you have results

Click to expand...

Gotcha! HN 34gr are great! .218 sized you can easily hit your mark at 100yds as long as you have tuned well.

I did not expect the DRS Tactical to be this accurate...and you get 120 shots in .22 caliber!! What an awesome PCP air rifle! Only 6.2 pounds and tuned to perfection straight out of the box. Thank you FX! This one rocks!

P.S. I did buy this gun myself (I'm not on the FX free gun list). Thanks for watching! -Nate

I have .22 600mm (!). Shooting 18gr at 895fps and I get maybe 80 good shots. While it may be possible to get 120 out of a 500mm in .22, you may as well just throw the pellets at that point

I think I understand, Michael
It looks like you accepted the buyer's credit card, and that bypassed PayPal
Is that correct?

I sure hope so.
Otherwise this will be the first time I was ever wrong

No credit card. Funds become available after the item is delivered. Once available there is a choice of having funds delivered to your debit card or to bank account.

Nothing wrong with being wrong. It’s how most of us hard headed humans learn.

In the last four years, I’ve shot two bucks that had previously broken their front legs. They were doing just fine when I nailed them. When god doesn’t give you doctors, mammals become resilient.

If you are planning on mounting this as a “through scope“ type of viewer, it will not work. Thermal sensors will not see through glass like a digital night sensor will. For the price I think you would be much better off getting a proper thermal monocular. I bet you could pick up something like a used agm taipan for roughly the same price.

ChuckHunter said:

Well the idea of the adjustable power is awesome! But did they really make the rest of it worth having? Like barrel quality and a good trigger? Because without those attributes it's just another gimmick!

It sounds like you want a Pyramyd Insyder review!

bbarnett said:

Thank you for the reply. I’m leaning towards the gx cs4I, 80% of the time it will fill guns, I will use it to periodically fill the 6.8L bottle. From my research, I think it should do fine. I’m on my 3rd umarex ready air.

Click to expand...

Yeah probably the good choice for that. Especially after the initial fill of the scba you will only be topping it off.

Regarding adding silicone oil to the fill port, I tried this approach in my first PCP but when I eventually took it apart, I could not find any evidence that the silicone oil atomizes and migrates through the system. There was a little bit just beyond the check valve on the air tube walls but everything else was bone dry as best I could tell (e.g. wiping a finger on metal surfaces and then observing the surface with light reflecting at a shallow angle).

Granted it won't hurt anything.

Ive bought many, many rebuild kits from him. They always work & arrive in about 5 days.

I shoot the .218 34gr Javelin slug from my DRSC, at 970fps with excellent accuracy.

Yeah, I think I'll take a pass. Hypothermia never leads to good scores anyways...
