I'm waiting for a Settlement,and I did not want to waste my money , so I asked the guys here basically the ones that do have money if they could do it over again what would have they done.
So this was a great learning thread.
I learned a very dependable high end Bullpup is a Taipan 1. Other well made are Day state , RAW which is made in the USA. Right now I live in Tucson Az , and can shoot out to long distance just to see if I can it. Mostly shoot in my backyard though just 40 feet. I'm able to shoot everyday in my backyard, and go my friends house in Marana Az to shoot a 150 yards. I fill my gun when I have a working compressor. I'm putting together a fill station with a 6.8 liter tank. It will be nice to just turn a valve.
I love to shoot targets in my back yard.
I like to shoot both pellets , and I shoot .22 caliber 28 grain slugs with my Zelos with a 500 cc bottle on it
I own 2 1st gen Barra 1100Z's . I keep my rifles nice . I have some multi pumps ,and no brake barrels. I'm trying to learn what a good heirloom rifle would be you should read the whole thread it's great. No I'm not rich. I have friends who are. I said 2 to 4 k just to try to learn about the best. I think that is a Thomas. The pro x is indeed a beautiful bullpup. I answered all your questions now could post some pics of your pro x , and Thomas. OldVet wants to see. Thanks steve123 my name is also Steve.
Hi Steve.
It sounds like you can get to 150Y easily with your Zelos using those slugs. I've moved onto slugs for all my 48 fpe and up airguns.
Pellets, I personally like to keep them well within 100Y and nowadays would rather just use them in my 30 fpe and less guns.
A pcp I really enjoy for inside 50Y, well mostly shooting at reactive and closer in steel, is another Steyr which is my LGB1 Biathlon trainer in .177. It uses little 5 round stick mags and is only 6 fpe. The way it cocks is very unique and fast, faster than any non semi repeater I've shot so far. It's also very precise though not as precise as my Thomas's. Very reliable as well, great ergos, great trigger, lightweight, and gets 100 shots per fill. Such a neat and high quality gun which I never regretted buying!
When camping I was hitting flies on the rocks across the stream at 27Y with it and perhaps the most fun was trying to guess the wind right because that's the main challenge with 6 fpe.
I've shot this gun at 100Y, lol, and I can hit small objects as long as the wind is down but that was experimental and I've only done this a few times since I bought it more than a decade ago.
Being a semi the Steyr ProX is a tad more fun on steel.
The Thomas's are for FT and UFT. Purple Reign as I named it in rifle form is at 19.5 fpe and in pistol form at 11.5 fpe I named the Purp/perp, these/this are the same gun that I convert over.
SURELY with the walnut stock is for UFT or Benchrest and is at 48.5 fpe currently using 22 cal 32.3 grain Altaros slugs.
All of these are what I consider fairly specialized and high quality though a bit pricey. The funny thing is I'd sell all of them, or I should say each of them, if I thought I could get most of my money out of them to put that into replacing them with even higher realms of utility and hottness in the next best thing that suited my styles of what guns trip my trigger the most!
LGB1 on top and ProX on bottom.
Purple Reign and the Purp.
SURELY in BR form and then UFT form.
