I hear you… personally, I sell at where I am comfortable buying. Depends on the rifle but I get the “used is used” so a “new” gun, meaning maybe a couple of months old and a few shots through it 25ish% discount over current new price (not MSRP…). If it is an exceptional gun, like you won the...

You’re the man :)

For me it depends. If I know I’d but the accessory anyway I may factor a used value in for it. If not then not. Tuning? Lol, certainly not going to pay you for “your time” since I’ll probably change it up anyway. But if a gun comes from someone that knows what they’re doing, is in tip top shape...

Looking forward to your report on those!!

Yep, as others stated degas is necessary to decrease reg pressure. Since you can go up but not down under pressure, you’d start tuning with a “likely too low” reg and then work your way up slowly until you hit target speed (on the knee of the curve, meaning max speed a tad higher than target...

Wait, when you say “fires as if I’m out of air”, do you mean just clicking the hammer but nothing happens? Not even a little air?! If so, then hammer is obviously not opening the valve since your reg/plenum gauge is reading pressure. Could be a bent/broken valve pin then or something blocking...

Breech oring?! Load a pellet without the magazine in and put a tissue over the beech. Take a shot, if the tissue goes flying oring is bad. Could also be barrel orings. I’ve also seen the TP not being perfectly aligned so that if you you turn the adjuster the ports don’t align properly...

ONE OF US, ONE OF US, ONE OF US!!! JK, honestly I shoot pellets mostly cause I don’t want to spend the time, money nerves needed to get (very good) pellet accuracy out of slugs at 75y and in. That said, I have dedicated sluggers in .177 (my only .177 lol, let’s see whether I ever try pellets)...

I hear you. But even in a breeze the different between 18gr and 25gr let alone heavier slugs is fairly notable at 50y. If it’s more than 5-6mph I usually just grab a .25 that’s tuned for 34gr or slugs and they do fine. Well… let’s say better than .22 and in particular 18gr.

First real windy day :) I love the 18gr but the moment you start shooting in 15mp gusts weight/BC is king.

100%. And like you said, honest and innocent mistake. Just saying that it is a promotion rather than a review and done like one, meaning with a different level of diligence.

I’m actually very much on the fence as to whether I want to sell this one or not. Bought it on a whim because I wanted to try the DRS and didn’t disappoint. The only reason I’m considering letting it go is its look. It’s getting spring/summer so I’ll move to shooting outside again (as opposed to...

You really think a sponsored/paid review (whether in $ or free gun) actually KNOWS the gun?! And even if, would mention negatives/downsides?

@Firewalker is your man ;)
