Is the 400 a 22?

Yes, wish I could find a 177.

I see some velocity change and thus elevation change with different weight projectiles but other than that there seems to be little predictable expectations for POI. Switching between pellets and slugs means a big adjustment on my guns. My Caiman X shoots decently with all the H&N slugs I've tried in it (21-30 grain, mostly 217 but 25s in 218 shoot same as 25s in 217) but 21 grain 217 seem best. Shooting groups on a 30 yard challenge target all the slugs would be on the little target in my sights but impact moved for elevation and windage some.

I second Kelly at Krazy kool Smithville, Mo.

Yes I’m with you. I have had two YH’s. One needs top end rebuild, other one just hadn’t used it but once. I also have a CS4, Omega Aircharger, and a Daystate Super Leggero. Those GX compressors are pretty dependable and quiet. I love my Super Leggero and Aircharger, but mostly use the CS4. Small but powerful And easy to travel with.

If the parts were more reasonably priced I'd have less of a beef w the need to occasionally rebuild. But the sum of parts needed will put it into new YH territory.

You might as well keep any old, F-d up acquired for cannibalization. It's cheaper in the long run than purchasing new parts.

I called AOA couple of weeks ago to inquire about the gun. They said there is a wait list of 30+ people at that time, probably more now. They will be getting shipments every month though they won't know which version of the rifle they will receive. The more popular model people are getting is the grey laminate bottle with 23" barrel in .22

Very impressive! I always enjoy your posts. I got a new HW98 a couple of months back that also has the breech block mounted off center. I need to fab some mounting cups/screws to center it up.

My new one was perfect, the older one had the wood compressed on one side allowing it to come closer to the breech block. The longer post on that side helped a lot. Thanks for the kind words.

It's gonna be tough to get replies as the Revere is a little bit niche already and then lefties only make up 10% of shooters. And don't hate me, but I'm not a true lefty, just a left-eye dominant crossing over to shoot more comfortably.

Whichever way you go please come back and share your experience and some pics.

Left eye dominant shooter here as well. Started shooting left handed at the age of 7 based on advice from optometrist who was a hunter.

AGN member Floridaman has a .177 regulated Revere Safari for sale/trade in the classifieds.

It’s like new, less than 18 months old and has shot some great scores in the 30-Yard Challenge.

I have a .22 Huntsman - the nice thing about the .177 is their shot count of over 60. With the .22 you will get about 38 shots on the reg - max.

PCP Rifle - Daystate Revere Safari 177

I received it new in October 2023 from AoA. It has only been shot from bench, and not much. With a young kid and a love for my AAS200, it just doesn’t get shot. My shooting now is compact rifles when I have a few minutes. This rifle likes JSB or FX 13 gr pellets the best. I will add photos taken...

I saw that. Just want a larger caliber for a sporter. Sounds like a good one though.

High end optics - let say TIER1 glass, high power in a range x50 shall see a single 308 hole or a group @ 500 in an average grey day just before the rain soaked the black paper ring. I think @ 800 shall be still visible if no halo or mirage.

Amazing, that's better than I could do on a calm day. Interested in the target holder, info please.

John here ya go. Walmart has them, sorry about the delay bud

There was a time I could make that starling distress call and it worked extremely well when they had young in the nest, but now with upper dentures I can't even whistle.

Where can I get the replacement washer 19736 for FX Impact M4. It's a Plastic washer 5.3x3.1x1. It's the D69 washer on the M3. Same size.

Click to expand...

Utah Airguns has parts for FX airguns, but you have to call and talk to a human, as they don't have them on their website.

I had one of those years ago and it was an awesome rifle. I burnt the seal out of it by lubing pellets, replaced the seal and off we went again for several more years of great times.

Good buy

Here's my two .30 (700mm) sluggers, designed and tuned by AGT for slug shooting. ZAN's .30 Slug Assortment box helped identify what weight slugs these factory tunes preferred. From there I shopped AVS, NSA, Wildman and Javelin for slugs in that weight range, some shooting better than others. Finding accuracy with slugs took a little effort but not frustrating nor discouraging. WM

JSB has worked in all my FX rifles, I bet the Hades would shoot well also.

So for this match you shoot at silhouette pistol distances but you do it with rifles? This sounds like a good fit for using ten meter power level rifles. I think that would be fun.

I can assume that even if you achieved less cocking effort and kept the OEM hammer, your lock time would have increased which is not good

Click to expand...

I forgot about that part. The stroke length has been shortened by 8mm by extending the valve stem. To help with the lock time. I did make a light 37 gram hammer from 7075 aluminum but I don’t have the right hammer spring for it to work.

How would you compare it to the impact?

Click to expand...

Looks like a lot less o rings to possibly leak!

Both my 600's like HN Sport wadcutters, RWS Meisterkugln wadcutters. Neither one liked domes.

Fairly good conditions today with 5 shooters showing up.

Just changed the scope to the Wolverine HP HR .25 Cal.

Honestly, being just a hunter and not an EBR shooter, I am of the idea that for my standards, this is a good group for 131 yards.

I did not sort pellets so some error maight be in there:

Hobbyman2007 said:

Nice trick. I like it. I’ve been tempted to jump onto a Kral but really don’t need any new rifles as this time.

Click to expand...

The trick works for most any rifle. Even regulated guns. If it uses a valve stem, poppet, and return spring this can be applied.

Where are you located ? I've never shot benchrest before.

Click to expand...

I have a Daystate Alpha Wolf HP 22. It has been very consistent up to 74 yards (my backyard) with +/- 10 degree gradients (this limitation comes from the scope I am using). I can hit groups with 1” spread.

I re-lube the seals once a month, and clean the barrel once a week. BTW, I never use deformed pellets.
