Hello @manabeknives
Thank you and the scope is really nice, it sure helps to "bring in" those small Bulls for me to see better
.The weather is perfect, I have worked out in my vegetable garden all afternoon and am wore out.

Had to punch some paper with the new to me rifle. The two in the white and the center was zeroing with one mag. Top left was low power, top right medium power, bottom left some fast shots at full power. Shot at 20 yards. I just had to shoot it today.

Picked up a used .22 Notos recently and trying to tune it as a barn gun @ sub 600 FPS. Screening which pellets are worth further testing outdoors. It’s also interesting that this is the only gun I’ve ever owned that would shoot PolyMags.

Not bad with the Poly's ...you'd be one up on me..never could get them to shoot in my rifles. Not bad for a 2nd hand budget!!
Anyone try the AEA pellets??
CHP's don't look too bad either...man ..i still got boxes of those
Think it is worth polishing the barrel?
It's ironic with budget rifles...i'm afraid to buy and waste the money on them...yet it's ok to buy a elite airgun and blow 3-4 times the amount ,,it's a sickness
Nice Test project

The barrel was loose when I received it. So I removed it and polished it while it was off. It’s odd there is only one grub screw holding the barrel in place. There is a second hole drilled and tapped in the receiver above the barrel but no way to access it under the pic rail so I drilled a hole in the pic rail, installed the second grub screw and now the barrel is nice and snug. Polished all the trigger interface surfaces as well as the hammer spring, removed burrs from the hammer and assembled it back together. Cocking the rifle still isn’t as smooth as a high end rifle but its not horrible especially at a sub $300 price point.

Hi Guys
I asked Martin to send me another regulator for using the lighter 18.13g JSB’s. I’d rather have 2 so that I can keep the high power settings on the first. I had the speeds down to 890-900 fps and the rifle just was not performing. I recalled when Ranchibi was saying that his RAW performed better when it was blasting air. So I grabbed a hex wrench turned it in a revolution,. The groups tightened up, but I thought I could bump it up more. It tightened a little more, so I proceeded to shoot the targets. I liked the results, but I was anxious to get home and get it under a chrony to see what speed I was shooting…1000-1010 fps!!!! That’s much too hot! Yet I was getting results…weird. I see what happens tomorrow

. I'm guessing Martin builds his guns for SPEED....? Just as long as it's ACCURATE....right!? What I find weird is slugs...920-950...haven't had to go faster as they are very accurate at these speeds, I thought they would need to be shot faster, shows what I know .Upvote 0
