    FX Dreamline Compact Tuning

    Used it for FT match on Saturday with the Baracuda Match pellets. Did kinda ok for a challenging course. Definitely need more time with it. Sunday I tried out some different pellets. There was a light variable breeze most of the afternoon. I ran them through chrony at same setting just to see...

    Umarex Is Your Notos Upgraded or Out the Box?

    I'm happy with it stock. But I might try the moderator insert to make it just a little more backyard friendly.

    FX Dreamline Compact Tuning

    On order in 4.5 and 4.51 sizes! 👍 I am thinking that might be the sweet spot for weight and velocity. Also getting JTS 8.7gr and JSB redesigned 13.4gr to see what they do. I'm not expecting to like the 13gr, but if they are consistent...

    FX Dreamline Compact Tuning

    I spent a rainy day at the range Sunday but had a roof to shoot under. I was able to mark my parallax wheel for ranging and played with the tuning. Only have Benjamin 10.5 and H&N 10.65 to try for now. I have other pellets coming to test. I am seeing the same as @Motorhead with the short barrel...

    N/A Compacts Only

    I have a completely stock Umarex Notos, and FX Dreamline Tactical Compact .177 with some mods. The DreamTact is more or less than 36" with silencer depending on where you set the stock. I have a 0db on order for it.

    FX Dreamline Compact Tuning

    So sounds like I might need to lower the regulator a little. I did some strings walking through the HS settings and it didn’t make much difference even from one extreme to the other.

    FX Dreamline Compact Tuning

    I purchased a FX Dreamline Tactical Compact .177 and an Aztec scope from the classifieds. My primary use will be for field target. With the rain, I have only shot a couple mags at sub 10 yards in the basement. It's a laser for that, but going to have to figure out what works best at more...

    Umarex Notos over 100 yards

    I should add that mine is totally stock with a 16x scope.

    Umarex Notos over 100 yards

    So two weeks ago I was doing some shots at 40-50 yards with the Notos at some targets I had beside the shed. Then decided to stretch it out a little more. Once I got the holdover figured out I was able to pretty consistently hit this plastic jug on a stick at just a little over 100 yards in a...

    N/A PCP with Swappable Bottles/Reservoir

    The Notos with a small refill bottle isn’t bad at all. I think I get about 5 refills with a 1.6L bottle. That’s definitely over 100 good shots and more than I need for sight in and get through a round of field target.

    Umarex Anyone tried the JSB 13.43 pellets in their Notos?

    The skirts are really thin and thus many deformed in the tin that I have. I guess they are ok if you pick the good ones out. I prefer shooting it with H&N Field Target Trophy 14.66.

    Brocock/BRK Atomic XR alternatives?

    Ok, changed my mind again already... Since prices went up, now I'm leaning towards the Sniper XR Sahara in .177 that is a more reasonable price. Probably a pretty decent option for a compact FT shooter. I would prefer the Commander lighter folding stock, but not for the price difference. And I...

    Daystate/BRK Prices

    I saw this too. I had my eye on the Commander XR and noticed it went up. ☹️

    What did you do airgun related today.

    Had some fun with the Notos today. I don't get to shoot much. Practiced ranging for HFT. Definitely not the ideal tool, but good enough for me for occasional FT. I was doing best at 35-40yds. There were deer hanging out at various times back at the corn (almost 150yrds) and they didn't care...

    Brocock/BRK Atomic XR alternatives?

    Actually I’m really liking the setup of the Commander. A little bit longer barrel is good, while the folding stock makes it compact enough for me. The bottle doesn’t add any weight but the shot count is fantastic. Can’t wait to get one now! But I am waiting to purchase so I could certainly...

    Brocock/BRK Atomic XR alternatives?

    Notos is pretty good. I tried it for FT. I did not do well, but just getting used to the Notos and getting my feet wet. I can definitely do better with it next time. I’m planning on an improved silencer; it’s quiet enough but I want a little bit more for my backyard. That said, I’m still...

    Umarex notos not filling

    FYI… An empty Notos needs to be cocked to fill for some reason. And it might take some initial quick pumping to get pressure. I was filling mine with compressor and bottle and it was just flowing out the barrel. Once cocked it filled right up.

    Huben GK1: What Silencer for Backyard Quiet? (or almost)

    I don’t have experience with them, but previous discussions on this topic seemed to give praise to the Impulse Air IA-1200 or maybe even better IA-1350. I have been debating about trying the 1350.

    Huben GK1: What Silencer for Backyard Quiet? (or almost)

    I have the Huben supressor for my .25 cal. It is still a bit louder than I would want for my yard with neighbors 50-100ft away. I want 4/5 on MrP’s scale in above post and I’m at 2/3. To me it sounds like striking a piece of rebar with a hammer. I could try turning down the power but...
