    ATN X-Sight 5: Why Has Thou Forsaken Me?

    I have an X-sight 5 and Thor-5 XD. I keep them for their high definition sensors, and their integrated LRF. I do not know any other brand providing the same resolution and functionality at those prices. A few years ago, I gave up on purchasing ATN scopes when they are first released. They are...

    FX Need Help: FX Chronograph Warranty Issue After Dealer Closure

    Given you are willing to pay for the repairs, it is hard to understand why FX is refusing to help out. IMO, they are getting bad publicity, which I assume will cost them more. As a matter of fact, as @greenbeans said, had FX wanted, they could have checked the serial number, followed up with...

    FX Need Help: FX Chronograph Warranty Issue After Dealer Closure

    Agree 100%. Unfortunately, it depends on how customer oriented the company is. Some are very strict to the letter of the sales agreement, while others are really flexible. It all depends on how much customer loyalty they are after.

    Not a bad choice with the first PCP at all. Welcome to the dark side. :-)

    FX Need Help: FX Chronograph Warranty Issue After Dealer Closure

    This is one of those unfortunate cases where both FX and OP are right. It sounds like OP did buy the FX chronograph from a third-party, not an authorized dealer (since there is no AD where he lives). Yes, the third-party was importing the device from an AD but that AD does not have a record...

    Daystate Alpha Wolf Performance vs regular Alpha Wolf

    This is correct, my Delta HP did not include an ultra valve. However, the update is very simple. You can get pallet or slug specific 28” barrels from Daystate. Please see the link below https://daystate.com/alpha-delta-wolf-barrel-caliber-changing-kit/

    Daystate Any experience importing an air rifle from UK using mygunimport.com

    No I have not used their services. Before I paid them, I found the Alpha Wolf I was looking for in the US. Paid a bit more but got the wolf earlier.

    Other Most accurate 50yd PCP airgun shooting .22cal pellets

    I have a Daystate Alpha Wolf HP 22. It has been very consistent up to 74 yards (my backyard) with +/- 10 degree gradients (this limitation comes from the scope I am using). I can hit groups with 1” spread. I re-lube the seals once a month, and clean the barrel once a week. BTW, I never use...

    Ballistic calculator for close/mid range pesting

    I do agree wholeheartedly for LRF. However, I have to respectfully disagree with you on the digital scopes. I have not found a digital scope, which could rival a Swarovski or Zeiss (or Kahles or …). Their views become pixelated when zoomed in. Unfortunately, Swarovski/Zeiss/… don’t have a scope...

    Daystate How to charge Daystate Alpha Wolf ???

    Is it me or it is 1- fairly difficult to connect the usb c cable to charge the battery 2- impossible to plug/unplug the dust cap without removing the stock? I think Daystate did not really think this through before coming up with the design. Their solution (a USB-C port deep down there under...

    Ballistic calculator for close/mid range pesting

    I hope you don’t think I am a “know it all” but even with a dope chart, IMO, one should do something similar to what I described above. In my experience, the BC numbers published by the manufacturers are some approximations. For example, JSB Match Diablo Hades Monster .22 I am using has BC...

    Ballistic calculator for close/mid range pesting

    I do have an ATN X-Sight 5 LRF 3-15X and a Thor 5 XD LRF 3-30X. Once I figured out how to set up their ballistic calculators, target practicing became so simple; I just measure the distance, point the crosshairs to the target and shoot. That’s it. No more manual clicks, or holdovers or anything...

    Daystate Blackwolf Pricing. Help me with the math.

    Sorry for stating the obvious but “they are worth as much as you are willing to pay for them” 🙂 However, looking at those prices, Alpha Wolf Performance seems a real bargain to me 🤷

    Daystate Blackwolf Pricing. Help me with the math.

    Rob’s response does explain why each stock costs different from the others, and what are the factors affecting the final cost of a certain configuration. He is also right about “non linearity” of the stock length increases. With all due respect, he, unfortunately, forgot to answer the OP’s...
