Dial the 18s down to 880 and see if poi stabilizes. Then you know equipment is fine and you just need to perfect tune and find a projectile that works at that tune.

That tune-in-a-tube stuff did make a measurable difference in the experience, it’s fine for plinking and a great loaner.

I’m guessing since you said you bought it new it’s likely a Diana “Two Fifty” (letters not numbers). Different gun as far as I know. Anyway I bought one a couple of years ago and mine was not a great gun, it’s a typical Chinese break barrel with the associated shortcomings. If I remember mine...

I think you’ve nailed it there, based on my experience, most products produced after COVID from autos to airguns are substandard to items produced pre-pandemic.

Gold…the market is telling you you’re charging too much. You’ve been trying for a year, no offense but dude, take a hint. Also not sure what you’re doing to manipulate the re-post count but it ain’t cool.

Crown Mkii synth 500mm, 9.6lb as pictured no lead. 8.4lb minus bipod and moderator. Travel case with extra bottles and two tins, 37.2lb :cautious:

Bear with me as I own neither but try to stay educated. I think anything FX with the new dynamic block is probably “newer tech” at least imo, the M4 is same projectile propulsion tech as previous with some gadgets and small peripheral updates thrown on, again imo.

I’ll throw in a Benjamin if this can be proven. Feel pretty safe…

Ever Less Rewarding… Or maybe it’s Extra or EXTREME Long Range

This is what I see:

Read the fine print on Amazon, might have problem returning if you don’t like. Not so with other models which is weird. I have the 6-24 which for the $125 I think I paid for it, is fine for me.

A chrony will likely be necessary for figuring out an unregulated gun which I believe this is. For example IIRC my Flashpup was tuned to shoot at about 25fpe between 150-110 bar for three mags with about 25 fps spread which was all I needed for that use case. The Dr above is a voice to listen to.

This is great! Yes, also having parts diagrams or exploded view info avail is also very valuable.

Let me start by saying I have relative brand inexperience (FX, snowpeak, Hatsan, Air Venturi) and also limited after sale parts needs (orig hammer for FX and would have liked an extra poppet for my original avenger while I owned it but wasn’t avail during ownership period). That out of the way...

Exact opposite in relation to cars, look at percentage of value lost vs purchase price. If given for free I’m taking the M5, if buying with a concern for resale Corolla 10 out of 7 days a week. If buying for enjoyment likely not buying a Corolla.
