Thanks for all of the feedback guys. I've gotta get motivated to pull it apart and take a look. -=- jd -=-

Hey guys - subject says it. This is a new one to me. I pull the handle back to load the next round and "hisssssss" I can hear air escaping. It's not dumping out - but it *is* most definitely losing air. I push the cocking arm fwd to load the next round - it's fine. Valve? I haven't dug...

:D:D we have a new guy at work. While out to lunch the other day ( I was driving ) we decided to troll some of the dairy farm permissions that I have and at one of them a starling showed up on a wire at the wrong time. (40'ish yards - I didn't even range it - I just knew it was w/in my zero...

While I'm not much of a pellet guy ( I really like slugs! lol ) I do have a boatload of .22 Monster RD's that I purchased some years back only to find out after the fact that they were (apparently) "the new" versions which were not nearly as consistent in build or accuracy as "the older good...

Thanks - maybe that's what their talking about. I have three of the older P1's ( .177, .22, and .25 ) and am, frankly, quite happy with them as they are.

I keep seeing in posts on facebook ( yeah yeah - I know - consider the source . . . lol ) where guys appear to be talking like RTI has a dual reg setup now - kinda like how the FX's came out with theirs some years ago. I've quick searched here in these forums and out on the the Spanish based...

Admittedly I haven't read through this entire thread. Arms race in FT? Ok - sure. There is, unfortunately, the same thing in a lot of sports. I used to race bikes ( road cycling - think, like tour De France - but obviously not at that level ). When I started racing back in the 80's one...

I have a number of dairy farm permissions that I shoot pigeons and starlings at (mostly). I get some woodchucks at them too in the warmer weather. I generally leave crows alone as they tend to act as my "cleanup crew". ( they pick apart / carry off / eat the dead pigeons ) One of the...

Oh ... old thread. Readers digest - when I was running slugs with that one on a modified 700mm "slug barrel" ( I had it cut down to 600 and re-crowned and then I polished it myself ) it would up being a 44'ish fpe with 23g H&N .217's running around 935. Stupid accurate - shot count though -...

This is an interesting one. I have two guns now that ~really~ like the 23g H&N's - one of them being my Taipan Long. I'm also a big fan of the RTI's (I have three of 'em - one in .177, .22, and ,25) All are older P1 performance's and the .22 / .25 both have the newer RPB barrels in them...

Mine loves those H&N 23's.

Ahhh ... 😉

This is a .22 and your only getting 25 shots? Something ain't right. I get near 40 out of mine ( from full 250 bar fill ) and that's with the H&N 23g slugs @935. I do have a huma in mine too - forgot about that until you mentioned it. It's been quite a while ... thinking it's probably at...

Long story short - I bought a .22 vet long 4 or 5 years ago. They ( Taipan ) then came out with their 700mm "slug barrel" - of course I had to have one. It was extremely frustratingly hit & miss and I wound up shelving it and just going back to the OEM 550mm barrel and pellets. . . . . a...

... forgot about this thread. My anal tendencies got the better of me and I washed 'em. (( ... 'cause you know .... I don't want to hit a woodchuck with dirty ammo .... it could get an infection ... )) :cool:
