fishing reels!!,I got addicted to them.

i would get a Deer skin glove for your cocking hand and it does say to slap it open and some lube at the point of lockup
i would think over time it would get easier but that is a guess

What about a vixen? It’s 300cc bottle at the power you’re looking for should have lots of shots. Light too.

I've had my M3 just a little over 2 years and shooting .30 cal. First reg set at 160, second just a tad over 100. I shoot 45 gr pellets at 885 fps and, so far, it works perfectly. I do know from past experience with other FX rifles that if I start making large adjustments in the regs, they will start to creep because of the age of the O rings. At that point, I will rebuild them as I have done with the others.

I have both. Plinking I like the PP750/Notos more. My PP700SA is a more consistently accurate carbine.

It is very inexpensive and does a good job for what it is. Lube it if it feels dry.
Clamps will creek. I haven’t tried lube on those as they get dusty.

You got that right, Scott!

BTW, FYI and FWIW, the sculptor ran out of lumber before he could capture my manly-man waistline.

Hi, All-
Newest member, new to airguns, though not new to shooting. Former Navy pistol member in the early '70's...
Just got interested in airguns, have a tuned Beeman R7 on order- looking forward to being able to shoot in my backyard here in beautiful Winterport, Maine!

On the probability the pellets that you got with an old Sheridan Blue Streak are also Sheridans, the information you've gotten about those pellets is ancient. They're neither super accurate, nor exceptionally hard hitting by modern standards. Yellow box Sheridans will likely out-penetrate most pellets, but JSB 13.73 grain pellets will shoot rings around Sheridan pellets, for accuracy.

I've owned and tested several Blue Streaks. See the attachment below for details-

So I got a resolution. I REALLY gotta hand it to Air Venturi. After the fast email and advice to adjust, I decided to call. The tech (Ted) was great. Explained it all and offered to send a new regulator. We talked it thru and although I do feel comfortable doing the replacement, the guns only 2-3 mo old. I felt it's best that they do it. Told me 3-5 weeks but typically on the low end of that.
Now that it's packed up I'm a little regretful for not digging in myself. He told me it wouldn't void the warranty doing it per their advice. This was though I know it'll be right.
He told me that although over time drift can be common, a failure like this is rare. Just my luck I guess.

I'll update when I get it back.
Thanks to everyone for the advice.

1:16 am. Oh my goodness…things that keep us up at night.

Only one I had leak was my s200, none of the others have apart from a niggle I had on the wife's gx40 where the inlet valve was sticking, not a seal as such but dirt. I don't care about warranty either if I buy a new pcp and it leaks, I just strip em down. Same with springers, I strip em down as soon as I get them home. Don't trust numpties in factories who don't care.

This is what I decided to go with.

No way.

Made a hit on a bird at 130 yards.. Here's some of internals..

Fps? -> 980

Standard deviation -> No idea ( I am just a hunter, not a technician at all).

Yes, there are indents in the plenum the grubs screws seat in. If you remove the screw and rotate the plenum you can see them go by.

I have this vevor , I wish it didn't time out at 25 minutes. It never gets hot at all but will only run 25 minutes at a time. I was able to fill my scba tank with it over a couple days, 25 minutes at a time. it brings the notos from low to full in under 2 minutes. I did purchase a 3 year warranty just in case.

Makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside

There already is a slug challenge at Oregon's Extreme held in Ashland

Good! I hadn't seen mention of it. I would like to see these competitions move from local/regional to national.

Competition pushes every sport forward.

A best case comparison with 22rf and pcp using slugs is with all out BR rifles like the latest iteration Thomas slug and a equivalent 2500x rimfire designed specifically for benchrest.

Maybe by now Mike N's newest Thomas slugs guns are up there in precision with the best 22rf's and lot tested ammo. It's going to be close.

The problem with my 22rf and ammo is the 22rf ammo is not lot tested, my Anschutz isn't a BR rifle, and it's lightweight being designed for Biathlon comps. Plus I can't shoot up to either guns full potential in the wind.

Had a couple 6mmPPC's and even for me .3" wasn't hard at 100Y. IIRC for the top competitors the average group size for a whole match can be in the .1's which is mind boggling.

advice,never force it,you bent the cocking lever ,that should be hard to do.Think before you react.
