Airgun Technologies AGT Vixen Long - Slow Leak

[Tjm]

Hello

My Vixen is losing 10-20 BAR overnight from a charge of 250 BAR. I have owned this rifle for 6 months and this has just begun a week ago. Any perspective on this before I tear into it?

Thank you.

Agreed the slow leaks are usually gauges

I replaced my gauge with a HuMa one. Including a black cover.
The original one was off by 20 Bar

A good solution. Any chance you could share with me which model you chose?

The one with the black backplate and a maximum of 250 Bar, 23MM
I never fill above the 250 so no problem for me.

Why do you have a 250 bat gauge? My Vixen fills to 300 bar.

Because this was the gauge that I had available. No problem for me because I never fill above 250 Bar.

Gotcha, that makes sense. I have the compact version and really like this gun.
