    RAW Rapid HM1000x SSG Set Up

    You are right, at .050" it still had bounce.

    RAW Rapid HM1000x SSG Set Up

    ...doing it for the heck of it. I am using the stock spring right now. Last night I set it up shooting ~900 FPS with the AEA 45’s. It was roughly 70* with a bit of humidity. This was set up with a .050” SSG gap. The intent was to shoot it today trying small HST settings to see how it would...

    RAW Rapid Bad day with my RAW

    Hello Gear_Junkie. I saw that note too. It is a little convoluted because under the 35cc plenum extension is says... "Compatible with the 20cc Extension Module for further power enhancement" Again, not saying it isn't so. Especially being AF told you the 35/45cc plenums require it's use. Brian

    RAW Rapid Bad day with my RAW

    AF needs to be a little clearer in their descriptions if that is the case. It reads the opposite on the website. Says it’s not stand alone but can be added to the other extensions, even stacked, to add 20cc at a time. Not saying it’s not the case, I don’t use an extension on my RAW so I have...

    Western Airguns After some months of inactivity I took the Sidewinder .25 out of the shelf... And...

    A bud has the Sidewinder in .25 also. It has been a good gun until lately. It will randomly decide to not fire a pellet. When it happens, we have to completely de-gas it, then it will fire again. But for no rhyme or reason it will happen again. It may work for several days in a row, then...

    How many use the Zulus for...

    I have a Zulus 5-20 LRF. I use it to hunt with day and night and that’s where it shines for me. Animals are crisp, especially at night. Also, I mount a One Leaf torch because it’s a much smoother night image with it as compared to the one on the Zulus. As soon as I use it to shoot paper further...

    RAW Rapid Degassing Port

    Thank you. I figured that was the case but thought I would make sure.

    RAW Rapid Degassing Port

    I've searched quite a bit and haven't found a good answer so apologies if this info is available and I missed it. Is there a degassing port on the RAW HM1000x? I have a 700cc bottle that I'm thinking of putting on it but don't see a degas port to completely depressurize the bottle before...

    Good grief. That may be the best looking Epoch I’ve seen. Well done!

    Taipan .25 Vet 2 Tactical poppet valve

    Hello all. Just wanted to share something I did to my V2T that was inspired by @weevil. Thanks for the information. I made a new poppet valve and stem but used titanium instead of steel for the stem and also filed 1mm off the diameter of the stem for 10mm behind the poppet. I used POM instead of...

    DNT Zulus 5-20 daytime performance

    Don’t take my post wrong. I think my Zulus 5-20 is a great scope, I like it a lot, but it’s more geared toward hunting. The image is really nice. But the OP asked opinions on how it compares to good optical scopes for group shooting. I took that to mean good glass scopes. I’ve shot it out to 101...

    Taipan Time to show my Tactical2 for hunting day and night

    I’ve read your post on that mod several times. That’s my next project. Problem is, I don’t have any machining equipment and I’m not a machinist so I have to find a local that can do it effectively. Question, is the poppet just a pressed in interference fit or is it glued/epoxied.

    Taipan Time to show my Tactical2 for hunting day and night

    Interesting choice of material for the poppet stem. I thought about a Titanium stem to reduce the weight and lessen the hammer strike needed. But our goals are different. I’m looking for as smooth and consistent shot cycle I can get, not so much a max effort. Keep us posted.

    DNT Zulus 5-20 daytime performance

    I think the Zulus is a great digital for the money but it’s not nearly as clear decent glass. It is pixelated at higher magnification. Maybe it would be better if the lighting is perfect? As far as a hunting scope, especially with the LRF, it would be hard to beat. But target shooting at...

    Tuning Realistically, how do you all keep up with the slug dream??

    Today I brought my Taipan V2T 700 .25 and Skout Epoch .25 with the 34.4” barrel to shoot a bit at 50 then 101 yards. Both shot heavy pellets and slugs really well at 50 yards. No problem grouping, even with heavy winds. The Skout with the Corbin slugs and AEA 33.95. I concentrate on Zan slugs...
