Received the Omega today, and when I tried running it for the first time I had an issue. Called AoA up and they promptly connected me with their tech who troubleshot via text with me and got me going. This is precisely why I went with AoA, and I’m glad I did. They are a class act over there.

And yes, it looks to be a re-badged GX E5K1 but with AoA backing. Worth the price given my experience already.

varmint knocker 30 cal. slugs are back in stock

Beautiful gun, think that is what I will get grandson for first air rifle. Accurate and fun to shoot.

I ordered one in .25 in he larger model took forever to show up and came with .177-.22 end cap! Tried several emails to remedy the problem and no response. Need weeks now! Not very good customer service!

Uh oh. Not cool.

i think at this point, shooting iguanas is more of an environmental benefit for local airgun hobbyists in florida. i can’t say that i’m not envious. those are targets that can be eaten.

Are we still talking about iguanas here, orrrrr……?

Can be used as an affordable training tool or for plinking in the backyard. It is powered by a 12-gram CO2 cartridge to propel .177 caliber BBs up to 300 FPS. Boasting a 17-round capacity with correct ergonomics, it has a blowback action to help simulate recoil.

The small grip fillets don't constitute a fix to what I am looking for, just thought I would ask if some of the clever CAD design people had come up with something before I start to make something out of wood or metal, as I am rubbish with CAD.

Max, hope it settles in for you. I went out this morning & popped a couple HOSPs & starlings each. Took a pigeon down ,but my cat buddy stole it before pictures! G-hogs are out also ,but too far out for airguns of mine.

Thank you. Yes, I think it will sort itself out when the weather gets warmer. Have fun shooting them pests! I am gearing up for the Spring shooting as well.

I have used Siriu and then Artcise, they're good quality and inexpensive. I then switched to Leofoto... Even better quality and many great designs for shooters. I'd get a Leofoto. They have something for every budget, are absolutely rock solid, function smoothly and intuitively, are lightweight, durable and beautiful. They often go on sale for huge discounts.

I use the LS223 with extra large, pivoting feet for tabletop stuff, the LM403c when I have to carry it around or the inverted S0-362c for plain old ease of use and repeatable settings. I also prefer the MH60 inverted ball head most of the time. The ones I use are admittedly a little pricey but there is something for every budget. You will not be disappointed! Check them out!

Have a good one!

Shown is the SO-362 and MH-60 inverted ballhead. It's not then best picture but at lease shows the inverted design of both the tripod and ballhead.

Wonderful set up Stoti! Glad to see you back....

unfortunately, they haven't had them stocked for a few months in a .22

Wow thanks guys I really appreciate it. Yes I agree my
HW 55T will always be my favorite since I grew up with one similar to it. My father has a 600 but we never used it bc it was so big and heavy. I’m glad I asked bc the 150 and 300 aren’t much smaller or lighter. I’ve shot the fwb sport but it was loud and recoil was more then I’d like.

Click to expand...

I have had the 300s for over 40 years and recently got a 602. Both are heavy but the 602 seems much heavier and is much harder to cock. I just got a forearm riser that fits the rail on either so if I want to use on my benchrest set up, it will fit and slide in the owl ear bag on my tripod which being older I had gotten for more narrow sporter rifles. I also have a palm rest so I can hold the rifle in an offhand position, with my left elbow propped on my left hip and the palm rest will reach down to my hand, making for a more steady hold. It has been so windy for the last ten days or so, that I have not had much chance to shoot.

Thammer,

Thanks! That rear stock is an Ace/dDoublestar that I’ve had on different builds for years. The length is perfect for me. I can’t handle the rattling around on the M4 type adjustable stocks. The two I have are both screwed down tight where I need them. I made the rear bag rider.

The rest is a PQP lite model. Kind of almost cheating because the gun is sitting in an artillery cradle. The rimfire rifle has a 0.75 ounce trigger so I get things all lined up and then wait for right condition to touch off the shot. No other part of me is on the rifle But my trigger finger. You’d think that every shot would then be an X but noooooo!…..not that easy.

I really like the Saber Tactical stock. To me, the AV tactical stock with the tube looks clunky and the ST really streamlines the look.

I’ll post the results of the range time tomorrow. Should be essentially as close to a windless day as you can get.

M3 is great.

I am thinking about buying a 100 yard benchrest rifle and was going to go with another RAW because their triggers are the best mechanical trigger I have used so far breaking nice and crisp at about 6oz. I shoot rimfire and centerfire benchrest where our triggers are usually in the 2oz range so I like a light trigger. From the vids I saw it looks like the triggers on the Panda do not have a weight adjustment and are set at about 12oz. I am wondering if there is any way to get that down some, maybe a spring replacement?

I was looking at either a .25 pellet or slug gun to combat the wind at 100 yards and watched a few vids on the new 2025 Red Panda. I really like the 3" rail as it will fit in my front rest but I am wondering if the ARCA rail on the bottom is removeable to make the rail completely flat?

I haven't seen anything online about barrel changes but I am assuming that will be possible with a new barrel, probe and regulator adjustment?

Any issues tethering this rifle using a tank and external regulator?

Any issues single loading pellets and slugs and not using the magazine?

@Feinwerk your post explained it clearly… Thank you… heck I copied it and saved it to my notes…

At the pic rail or somewhere else? If else a picture or two would help.
Picatinny to ARCA are easy, several available on Amazon.
Arca clamps too for guns with either no rail or the rail is too far forward.

I have this one, but the knob is too close to my QD adapter. On Amazon.

I bought this on AliExpress. Better spacing. Like it much better.

I am ref the pic rail under the bottle. I was hoping someone made a full arka rail the length of the bottle. Thank you. i will check those out

I upgraded with larger flow aquarium pump
Also, I don't know the "GX-E CS4-I" but if you can replace to larger barb fittings for better=higher flow. This what I did with my YH.

I say stick with the JSB's. Run a couple hundred rounds through for break in. Then zero again. I think you'll see a big difference.

Any word on when Zan Hyper ELR's will be available here in the states?

Click to expand...

Hello,

the .22 ELR are available in Utah Airguns .
You can also find few videos on YT about those slugs.

Have a good day,
Maja Brlec

Utah suggested the low vel on first shot and higher velo spread on strings was the G1 regulator on that gun wasnt the best. I bought a Huma G3 reg to try. Hope its worth the price of admission and they arent selling me wolf tix.

Yes, it's the 1:24 twist. I have no other choice to choose the right slug for long range.

"Maybe the best FX ever made.
Bobcat, Boss, Royale"
@SpindleB, those are the only 3 guns I own, or for that matter, care to own! This wasn't by planning on my part but just the way things worked out. I'm always grateful it worked out that way. Years down the road their simplicity, reliability & ACCURACY always brings a smile to my face as they did on day one straight out of the box! For anyone looking for a Royale "tstrever" has a gazillion guns on classifieds with a Royale among them!View attachment 546521
