    Budget Gun Battle!

    I have a cheap Xisico Sentry 705HC .22 PCP Rifle that just loves the Daisy Precision Max Hollow Points. They are made from soft lead and I have shot 1000's of them through it with no degradation in accuracy. Haven't had the chance to shoot my Zelos yet - hoping it likes them too.

    Budget Gun Battle!

    I thought the Zelos was light because Pyramyd Air erroneously says it weighs just six lbs but it actually weighs closer to seven. I need to get a lighter scope than the Aim Sports Alpha 6 4.5-27x50 I have on mine. That combined with the heavy-azz Huben Cricket Bottle Regulator and 580cc CF...

    With any of those three, all you should hear is the valve ping and the sound of your projectiles cracking armadillo skulls.

    Umarex De-pinger for the Zelos?

    De-pinger for the Zelos? Now that I have quieted down the bark from my Zelos, I'd like to do something about the loud PING the the valve makes when fired. I know they are available for other PCP's - does anyone make one for the Zelos?

    I would probably look at the Donnyfl Sumo, Shogun, or Ronin if I had the $ to spend. https://donnyfl.com/collections/ldc?sort_by=price-ascending

    Decided on a PCP...

    I like the compactness of the Notos and did consider it but went with the Zelos & its 26" barrel to up my long-range game on the Ground Squirrels. Probably will still get a Notos down the road.

    Decided on a PCP...

    Yeah, I had ordered the Huben Cricket Bottle Regulator and the 580cc Tuxing Carbon Fiber 4500psi Bottle before I ordered my Zelos. Got the Reg from Hajimoto Productions here in the US & the Bottle direct from Tuxing.com in Chickety China. The moderator is just something cheap that I had used on...

    Decided on a PCP...

    I just bought a Zelos .22 for $425.40 total shipped from Not Just Guns in Michigan. Ordered on a Tuesday, shipped the next day and delivered that Saturday out here in Kalifornistan. Rifle was in fine condition and was double-boxed. NJG is GTG! https://notjustguns.com/

    Umarex Umarex zelos o ring help

    I just got off the phone with Haj and he echoed your statement that the slop should go away once the bottle/gun is pressurized. I do not plan on removing the bottle/reg unless I should need to make adjustments.

    Umarex Umarex zelos o ring help

    I reached out to Huben and got pushed off by Nick Scott to Hajimoto Productions who I purchased the regulator from. Emailed Hajimoto but haven't received a reply back as of yet. I ordered 35 of the ones ltomlin found at orings&more. They don't screw around - ordered @ 4:45am this morning and...

    Umarex Umarex zelos o ring help

    Just installed my Huben Cricket Regulator on my Zelos with a Tuxing 580cc CF Bottle. I had to loosen the two clocking screws to align the gauges/fill nipple then retightened them and snugged down the Regulator. I can notice a small amount of slop where the regulator mounts to the rifle when...

    Umarex Umarex zelos o ring help

    Sitting here with my new Zelos .22, a new Tuxing 580cc 4500psi Bottle, and a new Huben Power Zelos Bottle Regulator. Before I go to install the bottle & regulator, what other spare o-rings should I source besides the better 90 duro poppet valve o-rings that Ltomlin found? I'd like to install the...

    Umarex New Zelos Inbound!

    Question on maintenance. The manual says to use pricey RWS Chamber Oil sparingly at various areas. Are there less expensive alternative lubricants that can safely replace the RWS lube?

    Umarex Zelos Trigger improvements / mods?

    It's been a few months - is your trigger smoothing out from use or have you found any thing to do to improve it? I'm going to try adjusting mine - it's breaking at 2.25lbs and has around 5/16 of an inch of take-up but doesn't feel gritty.
