I've been wondering when this would come out. Cudos to FX for being on top of things.

Begs the question...how was maintenance done on this unit?

Many lifetimes. Essentially it is not a consideration. That's why it never comes up. Airguns don't have the fire and erosion of posder burners, so with only soft lead friction it would take a couple lifetimes to have appreciable wear.

Are you kidding? Benjamin Marauder, it's the 10/22 of airguns.

Very interesting comments. I found the same thing with Taipan Vets, they just didn't get that warm fuzzy feeling that I got from many other airguns.

This is a fantastic scope, razor sharp, great lighted reticle, 1" tube. Very smooth controls. Parallax to 9 yds. This is the top of the line Hawke scope and it shows. I'll include a full Burris XTR Signature adjustable ring kit (over $100 to buy). $325 shipped

I know it's not cheap, but Garmin.

There isn't a definitive way to pinpoint chrono accuracy at home, that's for sure. What is close enough for me are 1) I compare to another chrony or two and if it's consistent, I'm good. 2) I know within a WAG what velocity my tune will provide, so I can get in the ballpark. 3) I can then...

Well, first, if you were to return it to where you bought it, you're not "screwing them over". They're a seller and bear responsibility for what they sell. Actually, you could look at it the other way around, they screwed you with the gun. I know, I know, they had no idea of the troubles, but it...

I had a 4-16 Midas Tac, best scope I ever used, ever! I only let it go as I needed a lighted reticle. It is one of the lightest Athlons.

There has been a lot of airgunners posting over the last few years who have done the testing. I for one have been testing this out for quite a while ( I certainly don't claim to have invented the idea). If you feed too much to the intake, you hamstring the compressor and work it harder. Once you...

I'm a Crown fan too, I also am making plans to either cerekote, or hydrodip and syn stock. I have three syn Crown stocks one of which was cerekoted before I got it and it looks great, but I want something more colorful. I'd be interested in your ideas.

Air is 78% n2, so it doesn't matter. I don't use 6K n2, as it is handling large, heavy tanks and requires expensive regulators. I feed my CS2 air compressor 10psi n2 from a 40# n2 bottle, easy to handle and lasts a month or two depending on how much shooting I do.

Thanks so much all, good advise and good points. Yes, my WC is a great gun. You know how it is, you get an itch for something... I got burned a while back and am hard pressed to dip into the unknown....for me.

I'm still kicking around getting a Uragan gen 1, and just can't make up my mind. I have a Wildcat mk3 that is deadly accurate, so I'd be swapping for the Uragan in one way or another, as I don't need them both. 1) is AGT good about support for discontintued guns? Will I be able to get the air...
