In that case I don't think the Karma has the power, but you may enjoy the AEA. Can't speak for the Hatsan

I have a Challenger Pro 30 and I usually prefer shooting my Gauntlet 30. Even though the AEA has a wider range of adjustment. The long barrel 30 is going to be pretty crazy shooting anything other than very heavy slugs unless you turn that thing down a lot. The Guantlet 30 has perfect power...

I used to ski 30+ days a year and chase powder up to Northern Vermont on last minute notice. But I saw that as unsustainable and moved on, plus Covid came around and most people went nuts and killed the vibe anyway. Good exit excuse. Before that I used to chase certain bands on tour... one band...

At least in .177 you get all kinds of crazy Gamo ammo to choose from. Some of those are pretty gnarly for little guys!

My G2 30 shoot slugs well but my G2 25 basically won't do it. I believe the 22 is similar to the 25 in that regard. I wouldn't even bother unless you're not worried about making nice groups. But maybe there is some ammo out there that works. I've tried a lot of slugs in my 25 though.

The sizing on those H&N slugs is tricky. You have to spend money to find out if your gun likes a .217, .218, or .219 ... or none of them at all.

As long as it groups just adjust your optics after you pick whatever you like best. I have a couple guns I shoot slugs and pellets out of, so in that case it's a little more important to choose ammo that has a similar POI. I do not enjoy messing with the scope to begin every shooting session...

Granby isn't even west of the Connecticut river. "Berkshire" ? :unsure: "Connecticut River Valley", "Western Mass" or "Happy Valley"(a misnomer these days) are the terms favored by the locals for this general location.

Craigslist mods are asleep. Last I checked you're not supposed to post pellet guns. Write down that number if you're really interested.

No, but this forum discourages discussion of airgun as defensive tools, so I won't elaborate beyond that. Except that I am in USA and at least where I live there are not such regulations.

I've probably fired it less than 100 times, as I've found it will hold air "forever" by filling to 4800 psi and using a light touch of silicone oil on the o-ring that touches the burst disc. Maybe two misfires overall, not counting when I was experimenting with lower pressures. But I also check...

Yeah I have an Omega Trail Charger, it'll do 5000 psi. I usually fill Defender 2 carts around 4700-4800.

Don't know, I never filled from a bottle.

That may be causing your problem. If there is not enough pressure (4500-5000psi) then it can misfire as well.

Perpendicular means too low velocity. You need to use the lightest .45 caliber ammo you can find with these. Like 150 grain to 170 grain max. As for the hissing, most likely it's because your carts are losing air pressure. I have my gun sitting unused for about 8 months now and I can tell...
