Thank You!

I have 2 Notos and 1 Zelos.
The Zelos is 2 times more expensive than the Notos.

They are both great airguns, made by Snowpeak in China.
I have more Snowpeak airguns than any other brand.

My 2 Notos are shooting between 15 and 20 FPE and are accurate enough up to 50 yards.
They are much more accurate up to 30-40 yards.

The 22 Zelos is accurate up to my farthest targets. around 70 yards, and 25-30F PE.

So, it depends on the length of your shooting range and the money you want to spend.

I have the Huma pic rail. It is smaller but much sturdier than the m-lock rail. I saw the m -lock rail on my buddy's Mora and didn't like it.View attachment 593200

Nice rail! Looks really good . I wish Taipan would make and extended rail/bottle protector for the Vet2 Tacticals! I guess I could add an after market one but it would have to connect to the existing one.....looks odd........yours looks like it should be there!

You would shoot my favorite grade school sneak & eat in class candy ?

Thank you! It was calm when I shot those groups. I will need to practice when the wind picks up. So far I am liking the .25 caliber Panda. Next time I head out I will get some fps readings and pics of my reg settings and hammer setting.

Oh Man that is so right!

I came across this kit while clearing out some air gun stuff. Can anyone here identify it? Thanks in advance.

I have bought O rings from hydraulics repair shops for 1/2 century+.

A town of any size will certainly have at least one. They typically have a huge inventory of O rings and can order others. Most of them are quite happy to assist in measuring.

They have funny size and pitch connectors rated for pressure too. It's the only way I got my 250cf carbon bottle online.

Measure the barrel diameter and buy a universal clamp on adapter.

DonnyFL has some.

Yes our Airbugs have a great 2 stage trigger and yes once a month we completely disassemble and clean our air pistols as sop, no different than any other ultra high volume shooter will do to maintain their pistol. However, you cannot begin to compare a PCP air pistol made for specifically for World Olympic Competition with a $139 C02 AirBug. What the Airbug does for us, we can continue to improve our Olympic Disciplines, record target points, compete with other olympic shooters and improve with practice, practice, practice, so that when we qualify for the December national trials which a few of our team certainly will, we will then earn the grants to be able to purchase the official USA Shooting/Olympic PCP Airguns and retire our C02 Airbugs. And by the way, our team is unique and the first time in Olympic history that 70-80+ year olds will qualify for the 10 meter!!! I am the active coach for our team. USA Shooting and the Olympic committee are really rallying behind us. And by the way, we figure our 7 Airbugs will have accumulated over 60M rounds by December!

That's Chinesium steel. The quality varies each batch. Sometimes your lucky and sometimes not.

Definitely check the diameter of the slug and see how it fits, that could be the issue.

Another thing to consider, the tune could be wrong. Do you have a gen 1 or a gen 2 challenger? If you have the 1st gen you most likely have the heavy hammer spring installed from the factory. You may need to try a heavier slug to match with the heavy hammer spring. Or you could try installing the light hammer spring to use the 30gr slugs.

I have the first gen challenger. Ill do some swaping around and find out. I also didnt mention, it does really good with jsb king jumbo mk2 33.95 grain. Its just my first time shooting slugs.

Hey guys just joined this group to get some advice. Been having a bit of trouble shooting recently that being, broken springs, broken off bolts, extremely inaccurate shots, and so on, my first rifle a 600 fps gamo was perfectly accurate with very predictable pellet drop. 60 to 100+ yards no problem. But the gamo's spring broke. Then got a 1000fps unarex surgemax nucleus rail which even with iron cites was no where near as accurate as the gamo, when I tried to cite in a scope it was a nightmare tried for a couple days, no luck there was no consistent pellet spread, which made me doubt my shooting, I would like to think i have some idea of what im doing. Relaxed shoulders, gentle grip, squeezing the trigger, both eyes open, breathing out then shooting at the bottom of my breath etc. Then I broke that rifle too. I don't have a lot of money but I enjoy shooting especially living in NZ where firearms are hard to obtain. Basically im looking for cheap but reliable rifle options. and what I may have done wrong with my last rifles. Thanks guys

Sure, I can help with that. Please send me the text you're referring to, and I'll explain what it's about and suggest a reply for you.

Congratulations with your gun and hunting success. I've shot a 200 now on the 30 yard challenge with both my P35-22 (twice) and my 22 caliber Bullshark. SPA guns can be very accurate. To shoot a 200, you have to be able to shoot groups consistently no bigger than 1/4 inch at 30 yards.

The degas screw on the avenge x empties the plenum?

If youre degassing and the plenum remains full the pressure on the reg gauge will read the same.

I also discharge the plenum

For you guys that have your new 1701P….If you are not going to use the front sight (the whole package) I would like to have it. The front sight on my 2300S is too narrow and the front fight on the 1701P is adjustable. I can trade my 2300S sight for you or buy your sight outright. Thanks..

Thanks guys I just purchased one

Shot a EFT at Gradys air gun world in Newville pa on saturday. Phone app was calling for rain and it was very overcast even started to rain a little before the match started but quit. There were 4 targets per lane and 10 lanes for a 40 target match to be shot twice. Ranges were 20-109 yds. Had the ghost 25 cal 23” barrel and 33.9 aea with a Helos 6-24x56. Shot the first 40 targets only missing 1 we took a break to air up and went right back to the second 40 hoping to avoid rain. Towards the end the wind was picking up pretty good having to hold completely off target on a couple but managed to only miss 2 more targets! Took first place with a score of 77 out if 80! Great day at a well run event!

Thanks for the info, just not sure I understand. My understanding of "Paralax" by definition is when the reticle and target image are not on the same final plane. So, if they're in different planes moving your head/vision changes the angle you're looking thru the 2 separate points/planes causing a shift in the alignment of the 2 (dot moves around). Right?
Adjusting the diopter I can get razer sharp focus but I'm not clear how that effects the focal plane of the reticle and target?
I tried making sure my diopter is on and wildly adjusted the Paralax (objective adjustment) and it's definitely floating, once I sharpen it up and move again it's glued down.
I understand what you're saying just unclear how the eye focus can adjust parallax?
Thanks.... I'm still learning all this, all info is welcome....

Owners or past owners of HW 100 S would you post the pros and cons of this rifle?
Thinking of getting one in .22 so doing some research!
Thanks!

I just got one from AoA 3 months ago and it’s absolutely the most accurate gun I’ve ever owned. It always holds zero from day to day and is not pellet finicky. Magazine is easy to load and easy to insert into the gun. I have an FX Royle500 and the magazine is tricker to load and it’s a little fiddlily to insert into the gun. The only problem I’ve had with the 100 is the pin that the cocking lever hinges on keeps creeping out and I solved that by putting the scope ring right over the pin. You won’t be disappointed with this gun.

You need to adjust the second stage screw now to get the sear to engage. I can't remember for sure which way to turn it, but I think clockwise. You have only two choices, so turn it until it works. When you get it to engage, it will probably have some creep, so you'll need to back off a bit to get it crisp.

Thank you! It worked!
