To all you guys that have the Barra 250Z...Do your stocks adjust up and down ?

Adjustable cheek rest and LOP

Hey guys I have mine on a 0.25. In the past I bought some other CF sleeve for testing and they all had the same OD. But I am not sure if this is still the case. If you have a CF sleeve for something other than 0.25, can you post the OD (outside diamter) of the CF sleeve please?

I think I was not clear enough. When the bottle is off the gun. The corbon fiber bottle has a steel valve in it. There should be an o-ring between bottle and steel valve. Also, the male thread on the gun is a separate steel part, it should have an o-ring underneath where it is screwed into the aluminum. In your soapy water video it seemed there were bubble coming from both of those connections.

Yes I understood! You have a really good eye, it does look like there’s a tiny amount of air escaping between the valve and the bottle which I didn’t notice at first

I shoot .177 break barrels, both spring and pistons. Most range from 12 to 14 FP's.

I have recently trashed three Hawke Vantage 3 x 9 x 40 A/O scopes with maybe 200 shots. I returned them and they were replaced at no charge.

Still, it is a lot of wasted time.

Is it my bad luck, or is this to be expected?

No one ever warns about that. Pyramid says they are air gun rated.

What is a guy to do?

That's a fair statement and I agree. I edited the video and removed that section. Thanks

That is great to hear! Always refreshing when a content creator is willing to improve.

Mine did out the box 945 with the 25gr

I believe mine is shooting 930 with the same grain.

Here is a link:


These do take a little tweaking to get working well. I took them apart, used o-ring silicone oil on all parts, reassembled and adjusted the grub pushing down on the pin deeper to the point of almost popping the valve open for the best operation.

Be 68, bad shoulders, bad elbows, 1 bad wrist, bad L5 S1 vertebrae ( back) a life of hard physical work.
No it ain’t easy. For ME

I'd hope I could reuse them, they're stupidly expensive!

Just make sure to recover them lol

Sometimes I get to the sight in range in Phoenix and I'll need to re-adjust my zero a click or two. Not only that sometimes my dope needs to be tweeked a little bit even though the zero is, or has been, corrected. That usually means I need to change the velocity a little in the app, or possibly the BC too, to get my numbers to line up with actual trajectory. I even use Density Altitude to help compensate for altitude change from where I live at 6700ft. I know from past times when my dope was slightly off it'd get me in trouble.

Ha, Cole was my squad mate last month and he saw how my phone got hot and my app wouldn't work so I had to restart my phone and it worked again which is a negative to using a app.

Could still print out different charts for the different velocities but I haven't - yet.

Working on getting the various struggles figured out.

I adjusted my Uragan King 25 cal down to 49 fpe yesterday to see how it'd shoot with the 29gr NSA's. Not bad but not great either, however it was 15 mph winds which might have caused the 2" of vertical at 100Y but I'd like to get it down to 1.25" vertical.
The neat thing is I could shoot the whole Full Monty without a refill, the gun is almost silent, and it's a repeater. I might just shoot it in January to see how it goes.

Rifle was designed to shoot 7.5 joules (5.6 fpe). Yours having been modified to shoot 12 fpe may be why you‘re blowing out the seal.

I think I may have just ended up with an off sized breech seal. My other P70 done up by AZ shoots 840fps with 10.3 for 16 ftlb and has for its entire life. But you may be right about being just over stressing the design.

GXPump is sending me a new power supply.

This thread continues to fascinate. I have 16 open JSB .22 tins. I just removed and replaced the lid on each one. Pulls right off, pushes easily back on. With the tighter fits, I twist slightly as I pull it off, but no problem. I'm a 74 year old guy of average strength, so maybe I've just been lucky. However, I could sure use some advice on opening the current generation of many bottled waters! Now that's a challenge.

Same here. Are some of you using loctite when closing the lids???? LOL
Bottles water?? Never had a big problem.........those vacuum sealed plastic enclosures they stuck products in though............

Looks like a lot of power to me thanks for the great video keep us informed on groups and distances your getting with it.

Thanks. Will do. This was my first time out with it I've been waiting to do this. I'm looking forward too seeing accuracy as well at longer distances.

assembled in oregon with some globally aquired parts like glass from china

There are indications the FX True Ballistics Chronograph has been discontinued, as reported by Optics Planet & AI searches. This surprises me. Although expensive, it got good reviews & provided more information (BC’s) than other chronographs. I am very happy w/mine…

To some, when selling, they make discontinued sound desirable, as if your chance to get one no longer exists. To me, it is a negative, which means no parts, and no support.

Im looking at using this for a project. How is the quality on these regs? Im assuming hit and miss. Anyone use one?

Lol that's just beeman, this the new one liked it so much bought 2. One in shop lol probably got 60 shots through it

So much fun today shooting in the rain with Joe, Mark, John, and Lou. As usual there was a bit of wind, moving the point of impact up and down. But if you were patient, you could get the shot you wanted. Still not a consistent shooter but appreciate all that you guys have taught me about being a better shooter. I still need a lot more work on the concentration part. Maybe next year.

Are the new Thermnights going to have the enhanced SuperResolution too?

Click to expand...

Unfortunately that is just for the Hydra line, but the higher resolution units will see a great image improvement.

Does anyone know of any videos showing this? The witness holes are a very good idea, is it difficult to repair yourself or does the gun need to be worked on by an air- smith?

I would tryFX Hybrids, Impulse Air or the RMR slugs. They are all the same slug.
