My portable compressor is a GX CS2 and I use the GX filter on it. Works great. On both my bottle fill compressor (Yong Heng) and my gun fill compressor I have a small absorbent filter first and then a dessicant type filter. The absorbent filter gets any oil and most of the water. The...

A really light PCP that has a wood stock and enough power for small game is the Artemis or SPA P15. 2KgU or 4.4 lbs. 177 should make 18 or 19 fpe, 22 should make 30 fpe, 25 about 40. Any would work for squirrels and rabbits and with careful headshots the 22 and especially 25 could take larger...

How about under $500. Stoeger Bullshark in 22 would be my first choice but if you don't like bullpups you could get a Ranger or Scout. They are all built by SPA. All should give you low 30s fpe at the muzzle and about 20 fpe at 50 yards. That is plenty. My little Prod is less than 20 at the...

Shot a target with it but it wasn't very good. I think it was a 186. But the last four targets were all Xs. I just wasn't shooting very well, the scope works great. I probably did not give the gun enough warm up shots either. The first cell was a 15. I improved from there but until the...

I killed the one I saw in one of my oak trees last year. I hear them a lot this year but have not seen one in my yard. They kill squirrels too. I'd rather do that myself.

AEA pellets have given me a couple 200s this year in the 30 yard challenge. I shot 18.3s in my 22 caliber Bullshark. I shot 21.9s in my P35-22. I started with a little 250 count in in both cases and had a 200 before I finished the tin. The replacement 21.9s seems to shoot just like the...

Well I sighted in my P35-22 with this scope on it when I got home from church and got a couple small tasks done. It turned into a chore but it was not the scopes fault. I did not get the back ring firmly seated on the pic rail so it was sitting up a little and biased side to side a little...

I have had the Sentenil 8-32 for a few years and it has been a good scope. The glass is OK, as good as can be expected at the price. The 10-40 seems to be similar. It is nice it comes with rings and flip up scope covers.

I bought a Vector Sentinel 10-40 on Amazon Friday and it was delivered late yesterday. Price was $180 but there was a 10% off coupon bringing the price down to a little over $160. I mounted it loosely but haven't shot through it yet. It is a pure target scope with very fine reticle but that...

For a long gun, conventional gun, I always recommend a Stoeger Scout or Ranger. I don't think they come in 177 but they do come in 22 which I recommend anyway, It uses more air but the pellets drift less. I prefer bullpups, however, so I have P35s in 177, 22, and 25. I also have a 22 caliber...

I was refilling my Caiman X yesterday and used my CS2 because my bottle was getting a bit low. The Caiman X stores 285cc of air at up to 300 bar. My bottle was under 250 bar. So I fired up the CS2 and, while I waited, made myself a toasted English Muffin as a snack. By the time I had my...

I got my first PCP in 2020 after I retired at almost 64 in 2019. It was a Prod which only stores about 60cc of air at up to 3000 psi. I hand pumped it with a pump my kids got me for Christmas in 2019. I was happy hand pumping. I went to a neighborhood fun shoot and got teased some but it was...

If your velocity is lower when the regulator is higher that is a strong suggestion that the gauge is not working as it should. But there is a chance that the pressure is really higher and the hammer spring is not powerful enough to open the valve all the way with the higher pressure. To test...

Jack, Thank you for a through and very easy to understand explanation. I think you could ask your questions as "Will it hurt my guns Huma regulator to stay open for an extended period of time?". I cannot see how you could say "yes" to this. The reg remaining open means the spring washers are...

Jack, It might just be me but your terminology is driving me crazy. It seems like you are calling the guns regulator the "internal reg". But then you refer to the "regulated plenum". Are you talking about setting the gun's plenum pressure above the regulator on your bottle? So the gun's...

I cannot imagine a compressor having air pressure pulses big enough to create noticable movement in the air line. My Yong Heng does not do that nor does my GX CS2. The air lines just hang there while the bottle is getting filled (YH) or the gun is getting filled (CS2). I would be more...

If the pellet is geometrically correctly formed and made in a press so there are no voids then you are right the center of mass and geometric center coincide. But they are not always perfectly formed. There is an video out there on youtube somewhere I've seen where the guy has a device that...

My 6-24 is SFP. The Veyron reticle is not terribly fine but I think it would still be difficult to see at 6X in a FFP. I like to pest at 6X so I prefer SFP. I bought SFP to be able to use 6X but it looks like they are also $100 less at Amazon.

If you want to know what is allowed for competition I don't know how you can avoid picking a competition and then looking up their rules. But I suspect you won't find much in the way of limitations other than pellets versus slugs. If your way of inspecting or modifying a pellet effectively...

I don't know why the gauge moves like this. It could be a real change in pressure and it might be something about how it works. But regardless, it seems like you have a good tune for your rifle. Have you measured the velocity of the first shot versus subsequent? In my experience 40 fps will...
