    JimD replied to the thread N/A Great Pcps for under $600.
    How about the SPA P35X. It's heavy for my tastes at 2400 grams which must be about 7 lbs. But it has a 530mm barrel, a wooden stock...

    JimD replied to the thread Ft-Lb energy and BC.
    I look at BC as something best measured instead of calculated. I use values published by hard air magazine or, if they are not...

    Looks like the 3-12 is the best deal. I prefer the 6-24 SFP which was not shown on that link. I got the one I have from Krale. But if...

    Had some time after a thunderstorm with no wind. Playing with a different pellet, .177 JSB 16.2gr (it has the "trash can" shape). With...

    JimD replied to the thread Wind, and groupings..
    I sometimes play with wind speed in Chairgun to get an idea if it is credible that the wind affected my results. You can input both the...

    JimD replied to the thread How accurate is your chronograph?.
    The only thing I do is compare chronographs. I don't often compare them but I have. My inexpensive Chinese chronographs used to be a...

    JimD replied to the thread N/A Thoughts on first shot low.
    My P35s, made by SPA, will have a lower velocity on the first shot if I turn the hammer spring down 5% from the setting that gives peak...

    I've never owned a Hatsan or a big bore. Hatsans seem too heavy to me. I own three SPA guns, P35s. SPA makes the Notos even though...

    JimD replied to the thread N/A Looking to get into PCP.
    Arken EPL-4 is my most expensive scope and I really like it except for the combination of FFP and a really fine reticle. It is a 6-24...
