    Umarex Notos

    Doesn’t change poi by zooming in and out. Center reticle always stays the same. BDC markers on the reticle have different values as you change from the power you zeroed at, but they always stay the same size so you can see them at low power.

    Umarex Notos

    Why FFP scope? If you want to use at lower power the reticle gets really small, and they are usually more money. I’ve tried FFP, and for normal airgun ranges I much prefer SFP. For pellets, I’ve had good results from several 15.9 gr. Diabolo style pellets. Good balance between velocity and energy.

    Wrong place, wrong time for the fat kat.

    Yes you are! You prove my point. You transfer human attributes to animals. It really is not that way, but you’re going to believe what you want to believe.

    Wrong place, wrong time for the fat kat.

    NEVER, think in anthropomorphic terms. Animals are not humans and do not have human logic. They work on instinct only. Very little cognitive action. No matter how smart you think they are, it’s just instinct.

    Wrong place, wrong time for the fat kat.

    It never made any sense to me that ‘possums were tick hunters. Only made sense that they would grab a tick as they foraged for everything else. You will certainly never eradicate them by an occasional dispatch. My trapper/ game warden acquaintance was surprised I caught one in a DP trap.

    Wrong place, wrong time for the fat kat.

    https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34298355/ The benefits of Opossums may be over estimated. They get the same treatment the OP gave them when they show up in my DP traps, which is infrequently. They are nest raiders and we have turkeys on our property and birds eat ticks, also.

    Airforce Talonp

    I just shot my bone stock TalonP, .25 cal. with JSB King Heavy MkII, (34.2 gr. actual weight), power setting 8. Five shot avg. 849fps. My gun is set to shoot 25gr. JSB @ 919fps avg.

    You gave NO information. Pellet weight, current velocity, current settings on the gun.

    Airforce New Talon SS Classic Bottle question

    Update On AF service. I’ve held off commenting to give AF a more than reasonable chance… I think. AF received my gun 9/19. The email containing my RMA # and return mailing label claimed I was set to priority repair. It will be seven weeks on Thursday. Called twice at weeks five and six and got...

    Geezerhood's Notos Thread

    Still using the same setup with no issues. I did eliminate the red dot and kept the laser.

    I dun been robbed!

    Yup, that's my deal, too. They show up before sunset and check all the spots, then stand there dumbfounded if there's nothing that day.

    Are Any Members Using Hunting Apps?

    I was using HuntStand (free version) which has pop up ads. I refuse to buy into the subscriptions because I've found that sooner or later they are going to disappear or sell to another entity and you're screwed. That's what happened to the app I had before HuntStand... they sold out to...

    Airforce Air Force valve cap replacement

    I got a couple of replacement tanks from AF and the set screws were either overly tight or Loctited. They are tiny (1.3 mm or 0.050”) and easy to strip out the hex. AF would not or could not tell me which size was correct. They suggested 1.5 mm or 1/16”, neither of which was close to fitting...

    Airforce New Talon SS Classic Bottle question

    I know the AF guns are supposed to be uncomplicated, but this is a new gun. So… it’s on its way back for warranty service. So far, AF customer service is everything you’d hope a ‘Made in America’ company would be. Hope I didn’t just jinx myself!

    Airforce New Talon SS Classic Bottle question

    740 fps is pretty slow for hunting. My experience is that, with an unregulated gun, if the starting pressure is too high the first couple of shots will be lower velocity. Thats how you know you started too high. Thank you for relating your experience with a .177.

    Airforce New Talon SS Classic Bottle question

    The Talon has the older one piece top hat, so no choice on orifice size. I asked and the two piece orifice is not compatible.

    Umarex Notos and Bug Buster

    Eye relief with a BugBuster didn't work for me on my Notos. I ended up with a Vector Veyron 3-12. 30 MM tube, good glass, reticle lines are a little thin for my eyes but usable. Recently I switched to my first prism scope (4X) and so far I'm liking it it...

    Airforce New Talon SS Classic Bottle question

    AF has not returned my call from yesterday. I was disappointed when I got their VM, because every other time I called I got a person. No rattle. Shot some more strings the other day at varying power settings (2-10) and fill pressures (2700-3000). FPS drops ~80 fps in 15 shots. There is no...

    Airforce New Talon SS Classic Bottle question

    Thanks, but I can't extrapolate from those light pellets to heavier pellets. The venting point you made may be the answer, if only AF would be forth coming with that kind of info. if it is a real thing.
