What did you do airgun related today.
- Thread starter Florida_Man
- Start date
Tried out some new slugs from AVS out of my AGT U2 30cal and my K1 25 cal. Wow these guns can punch some serious holes. My target car door is starting to look like Swiss cheese.

Ordered 4 regular mags and a single shot for my Uragan2 from Carm. Texted Darko back and forth about some revision and was in touch with Brian from Edgun West about the new Leah Fenix.

This happened to me on an order fulfilled by Amazon. I posted a negative review on the Amazon fulfillment process and Vector stepped up and made it right. Being an Amazon seller myself I understand that Amazon is 85% to blame, but the seller bears some responsibility. After all, they/we chose to let Amazon handle fulfillment rather than manage it themselves/ourselves. Additionally, sellers also have some degree of control by selecting how they/we are to handle returned inventory. So in my case, though I feel that Vector only played a minor 15% role in the screwup (based on my unscientific metric), they took on 100% of the responsibility for it. I’m happy with Vector (USA) as a company so far. The jury is still out on the scope, but it looks promising.Got the RMA# for a Vector scope that just arrived a couple days ago. Turd balls sent me a used scope in an open box. F them from now till the end of time.

Today, just looking at M8 trying to buck the too high wind with 13 grainers, then i went home.
But yesterday
a lot of things was hit at all manner of distances from 75 M and out to 115 M, again and again and again, in my case 780 or so 13 grain - 200 or so MRD pellets and a couple hundred 10 grain KO MK3 slugs as the light became too low.
So i am feeling quite good saying 1000 shots in the not horrible wind yesterday.
One time though with the 10 grainers i was like did i just send a 10 gr slug thru a 6 mm hole at 115 M, so had to take the walk up there, but no dice i think the shot went high and a little right and nicked the top of the DIY paddle wher3e it hinge to the " tree " it is on.
The previous shot was 15 mm low and 5-10 mm right, so i compensated for that, but i think it went a little higher than the top of the peddle where i had my crosshair.
There is no doubt as for pellets, the MRD ones are far better at 75 M distance than 10. ?? would be, so i am thinking probably buy more MRD pellets for this summers pellet fun, and only a few 10+ gr Dead centers and JSB Heavy

Confirming POIs from 12-25 yards of my Atomic XR .22, TP on low with Arken Zulus 5-20x atop. She is simply deadly at twice those distances. Which makes for ”high confidence” pesting. Also sent a few pellets with my Pathfinder XR checking for first shot POA = POI at my 25 yard zero, she did not disapoint. Though I shoot quite often I still giggle like a school boy at the groups I can casually shoot, and the small rodent head sized wine corks I hit at will… Here is my Atomic simply asserting at 25 yards. Those poor, poor pest find her irresistible…

Dispatched three ground squirrels. They are coming out of their snuggly winter dens forgetting how I harassed them last summer. They will soon remember.

Modified an oxygen cart I bought on eBay for my 3 liter bottle to teether for air guns. Need to make an adjustable inline regulator as tank is filled to 4500 psi. My silhouette is only 3K max and so is the gen2 Fortitude.

When they are on my shed they are trying to lure in a mate, so they are popping up and down. As much as I like head shots, I like them dead more. So I go for body shots

I chickened out. I was going to mount a pic rail to the bottom of my Revere. But instead ordered the barrel band from the UK with the pic rail on the bottom of it.
