    22cal Airgun for Wildboar Hunting!?

    I shot a boar years ago right behind the shoulder with a 150 grain Corelok from a 30-30 at 20 yards. Complete pass through, he flopped in his tracks, laid there a few seconds and jumped up and ran full steam right at me. Another one between the eyes dropped him a few feet in front of me. That’s...

    2 cylinder tuxing 4500 psi compressor PRV

    I used to shoot nitrogen years ago when it was affordable, unfortunately now it’s stupid money around here. If you’re just going to use it to top off above 5000 it should last you a while. Hopefully you can get a better deal than we have here.

    Ftlbs for pesting indoors

    I don’t find red riders to be very accurate. Thanks, I’ll stick with my current setup.

    Ftlbs for pesting indoors

    Thanks for all of replies guys, I went this morning and the wind was howling! This a business that opens early so I didn’t have a lot of time. I managed to get about 15 birds though, pretty good considering the conditions. They open late on Tuesday so I’ll have a chance to get in more trigger...

    Sparrows and Starlings mostly. Anywhere from about 7 to 20 yards.

    Ftlbs for pesting indoors

    Just wondering what the consensus was out there. I have a pesting job that has come up and since I’m new to this I was wondering what kind of energy would be good to avoid damaging a 26 gauge metal roof. I have my Prophet shooting 8 grain .177 at 780. Is this too much if I pick my shots...

    Tuxing compressor

    I have one also, it’s fast and fairly quiet. I haven’t had it but a few months and only have 1.6 hours on it but so far I’m pleased with it.

    New member and airgun noob

    Welcome to the forum, I’ve been in the PCP scene for 10 years, my advice is to you is keep on doing what you’re doing. Read on this forum and take your time. I said when I first got into this that I would never pay $1000 for a pellet gun, I have had several that cost way more than that! It’s a...

    Breaking in the twins.

    I believe most of the problems that guys have had is because of using the wrong oil. The manual calls for ISO 100 so I assume any oil that meets that requirement is ok, I went with Seco because the guys that are using it seem to be having good luck. The compressor is splash lubricated.

    Breaking in the twins.

    I know some have suggested change after the first 5 hours, I doubt I’ll let it go that far. Like I said I’m watching the color closely.

    Breaking in the twins.

    I use Seco 500 and let it run for 20 minutes with no load on it. Let it cool back to ambient temperature and you’re good to go. Be sure to put an hour meter on it. I’m watching my oil color very closely, when I see a change in color I’m going to change it. I don’t quite have 2 hours on it yet so...

    Tuxing V Twin 042

    I thought about doing that but ended up buying a piano dolly at Harbor Freight and putting the compressor and bucket on it. I had a generator cover laying around that covers it perfectly. I just roll it under the bench in my shop and when I need it I roll it out and uncover it. So far, in...

    FX Fx impact m4

    Sounds pretty typical, sad for sure. This should have never happened and should be taken care of immediately. That, and other issues is why I’m done with FiX.
