Thank you for your openness and tolerance, there is nothing wrong with what you are saying.
But isn't it also nice that my posts here are in line with the forum? Apart from the promotional purpose, I also mainly want to share and discuss with you all so that we can all learn more about each other.
As you can see, I'm just stating the facts for some products and not saying Acecare is the best.

Agreed, open, honest discussion is what we appreciate about this forum, nothing should be taken personally. Opposing perspectives, offered with respect and civility, helps everyone. WM

IMO, there’s no one gun that will be successful in all of those scenarios, at least no without buying extra barrels and accessories. My suggestion is a RAW BM500 for 25/50 yd competition in .177 cal. For 75/100, that’s open to many options. FX Impact, Red Panda, Skout, RAW HM1000x, FX Panthera or King (same platform), Ghost, you name it in .30 cal,. There is no one tool does it all and does it well. Regardless of what you choose, it’s up to you to make it work. Check out the BR match results and see what the top shooters are using.

The weight of most scopes makes most pistols 50% heavier.

If you're going to handpump then it's best to choose guns that are well suited to it and those are low pressure, small caliber guns that are very efficient. Basically, you want to do as little work per shot as possible. Pumping up to 4500 psi is hard work and bigger pellets use more air for every shot. Pumping up scuba tanks with a hand pump is ridiculous. Sure it's possible and they can take a picture of it, but no one's ever going to actually do it.

I've got three handpumps, but I rarely ever use them. Decades ago, when I first got into PCP's I got a Hill pump. It was a tough, solid pump and I used it without issue to fill my S410E for about a year, but I also happened to get into scuba diving at about that time and pretty soon I had plenty of scuba tanks to fill from. At some point the gauge on it was broken and then I ended up using its fill hose on a scuba tank and the pump got tucked away somewhere and then was forgotten about for decades.

Then at some point I became somewhat obsessed with the idea of a backpacking air rifle and ultimately I decided that the best choice for that was a lightweight PCP combined with a lightweight hand pump and there's only one of those that I am aware of. So I bought a Huben pump and IMO, it's a fantastic pump. It's less than half the weight of most pumps and it pumps up to 5000 psi. It's also not cheap.

Then I bought a used rifle and the deal included a hand pump. It's one of the $50 Amazon variety and it seems to work just fine. They also seem to have a pretty good reputation here and if I were on a budget it would be my choice. They have a variety of names, Four Uncles, Vevor, I'm just going by memory, but I've never heard anyone say any of them suck.

Ultimately, if you stay interested in airguns you're almost certainly going to end up getting a compressor, a SCBA tank or both.

Okay, so it's important to post to find out where customers are actually applying it and how it's being used. Thank you so much for sharing!

I'm still rocking my plain jane Yong Heng from 2017 and I haven't had to take it apart yet with regular oil changes. It's been very reliable!!

My 2017 YH Hardcover without autostop has been filling my three 30 minute SCBA's going on 8 years now without a rebuild. I use ice in the water which keeps the temp below 45C and use Mobil Rarus 827 oil. I have spare parts for when the day comes but (knock on wood) haven't needed them yet.

Did as best I could, ain't a trigger mech by any stretch. Hasn't misfired so far. Thank you!

Airgunoregon · Mar 15, 2025

That's good, we did click on the elevated targets over 15% in the planner, so hopefully it's all good anyway.

Definitely grateful for the upgrades. Worked with Darryl on the purchase. Great sales experience.

I was just confused after looking over the manual as well as watching YT vids. All clear now.

Skout has changed alot since they started in 2022 about...they just keep improving everything and they can make changes "in house" an implement them immediately. It's been really cool to watch over the last couple years. Improve , improve, improve!

Wow great job on first time casting!!!! Hollow points can be tough....I missed a few key details when i started casting..took me a lil bit to figure it out...Give powder coating a try....its pretty easy...it helps with leading for sure...

thanks, i've been trying to inform myself about casting routines and what to watch out for and also what causes what problems, so it was too much of an trial and error process for myself. with the hollowpoints i was actually quite surprized that they dropped so easy. i was expecting worse.

for now i have mostly used lead from recycled projectiles, so the amounts are not that much at this point. i feel powder coating makes more sense when doing it for bigger quantities, so maybe at a later point, when i make a huge batch of ammo. but thanks for the hint.

I have a package in transit from Barstow (socal desert) to Oakland.
400 miles by freeway.
Shipped 3-14, expected delivery 3-17.
It has been "in transit to next facility" since 3-17.
I'm thinking that the tortoise they were using as a courier has died in route.

Well, it finally showed up last night around 7pm. 400 miles and 8 days.

Urge you to look at “Shooting with Phil” and his Easy Tune products. Simplest way to tune a Maverick or Wildcat. Heavier pellets and slugs may need a heavier hammer weight than the OEM.

check out this ebay link for the brass hammers of various weights ... straight from phil ...

Thank you for your search!
It appears it is not stocked in the USA

CurtisNelson · Apr 13, 2025

UPDATE:
I had bought a Saber Tac benchrest monopod last year for the PA cup and wanted to see if I could adapt it to work on my EVO w/ skeletonized butt stock that is narrower at the bottom than the top. Here’s the result: STac uses M5 socket head cap screws that recess into the stock mounted piece. (hard to find)
I found the M4-0.7 pan head is small enough to fit in the recess.Use a 60mm screw on top and a 50mm on the lower mount point. Put a couple washers between the stock and the lower mount point to get the adapter vertical. Nylocks and M4&M5 washers under them span the gaps.

Also, add M4 washers under the cap head in the recess as necessary to minimize the screw protrusion past the Nylocks

I'm going to have to close the porch, and turn it into a meat hanger in there and shoot through a window.

Bob gave you an excellent tuning methodology.

I’ll offer that the Weihrauch factory reg pressure for 12 ft/lb HW100 and HW110s:

100bar for .177
90bar for .22

Yes, that’s correct. At a fixed 12 ft/lbs, the .22s have a reg pressure set slightly lower than .177s.

You can probably find a nice 11 to 12 ft/lb tune with the reg pressure anywhere from 80 to 100 bar with your .177.

Good luck.

I've read a few comments about where to find a video of a CS4 tear down.
I watched this video some months ago when I first bought mine.
Hope some of you find it helpful.

4 40 foot containers = 160 feet end to end , or a 50 yard indoor range with 10 feet shooting stand room . 2025 avg . cost per /delivered = $1500 (x4 = $6000 ! 6K for an indoor 50 yard range , nice ! Never get past my wife but interesting . maybe if we lived on a farm with a mound / hill of land hiding it ?

I know of a neighbor who took down a chicken egg laying barn for a name brand producer and got the barn for free. This is like a big hoop green house about 300 ft long. Shoot in one half and grow veggies in the other half. Mark
