2 with 22 MRD's @ 975 muzzle velocity between eye and ear and dropped in their tracks with barely a twitch. First was at 30 yds, second at 100. Note that both were complete pass throughs on the skull. I was at my bench so quite stable and both paused for that one second to look back at me. I...
All my Sharp, Daystate, Theoben, FWB and AAA are unlikely to ever wear out in my lifetime. My Steyr, FX, and Air Arms... not so much... note that the AA are ProTarget series... not 400, 500, etc, series I consider those to be lifetime... Bob
As has been approached here, it might be difficult to know which is the "buy once, cry once" airgun till you've owned/experienced some. I started with a VERY pos Crosman 760. It may have taken years to understand the level of pos that it was except that I was introduced to the BEEMAN brand when...
It's a great rifle and parts are still available from guys like Rick Wilnecker in the east US and Mike Baker here in the west. The later 397 went to a lawyer trigger and valve module rather than soldered in valve shell but the rest was mostly the same. Properly rebuilt, it can go for decades...
A friend had his tuned as high as it could go in an attempt to run 25.4s as fast as a RW. It shot quite poorly and only got 16 shots per charge. He had me look at it and best I could do by simply tuning was 893 w 25.4s. The behavior was much improved. The problem is that DS didn't desing in...
But it COULD matter for certain... I set up 2 rifles to be under the limit by a reasonable amount with my LabRadar... The owner of one takes his home and measured it with an FxRadar unit that put him over the limit. Someone flying in from another country with a rifle that's difficult to change...
Nice post 👍 When @Franklink and I were collaborating on some barrel and ammo testing, I was the one with the LabRadar where he used 2 chronos. It took me a while to get to or near the point in understanding that you are at because I didn't analyze the base data at all for a while. I DID see the...
Trying to downsize some. Here is an MRodAir Airmax Varmint in 177 that I purchased new out of curiosity. I had in mind a very light hunter. I recently broke down and made some parts to tune it and spent time on it but I have too many and need to reduce my time consumers. The factory barrel was...
Sharp Innova in 22 cal with red dot sight Very recently resealed Very light and powerful pumper - 4lb, 4.6 oz as pictured No original sights Very accurate... as all Sharp rifles are known for Trigger is less than 1 lb at 4 pumps Front barrel support was by some previous owner but is fairly...
There is a huge selection on Amazombie but be careful... The factory batteries have only the low current connections and some chargers require both high and low current for equalizing, testing, charging, and exercising. The one I bought for $35 was highly rated and had lots of...
😃👍 Nice score ! Ron is an enormous wealth of experience and information... and a good character to boot... The Red Wolf is a GREAT choice for EFT and a joy to shoot, in general... Bob
@cavedweller, 1st gen had 7.4 v batteries and topped out about 47 ft lb if I recall correctly. The Safari came out in early 2018, I believe, and raised the power with 11.1 v batteries to about the 60 ft lb area in 25 cal and 50ish in 22. We found hammer damage, the tensioning flat spring...
