What’s your latest airgun purchase?

[Danman]

As much as I wish that the long box was another rifle, it’s not. But, it’s still airgun related. More pieces for my new backstop on wheels that I am about to build. It’s the axles and one of the 24”x24”x3/16” steel plates.

We think alike I have a 40+ pound large steel pellet trap ( easily stops 22lr) and I'm sick of moving it around, I plan to buy a little yard wagon and mount it on that with a wood guard around it. I'd move my target box out, set it back up and get back to the shooting table and have to wait to shoot bc I was dying
I'm thinking small wind flag to go with it!
My first Best fittings order last month of 2 fittings was Royal Air Mail, but now it's seems FedEx is shipping my compressor Filter kit. Probably bc it's a much bigger package?

LOL. I haven’t been using a backstop as there was a restricted access wooded area behind me and I was shooting downward. But now the owner has cleared about 5 acres of it. So I’m going to build a cart with a frame on it. I’m going to string easily replaceable 6’x5”x5/8” cedar fence pickets on the back. The plan is to cover it with sheet metal for errant grand kids. I’m going to place two 24” x24’ x 3/16” steel plates behind the target frames so that two people can shoot. That’s the plan, reality: steel plates attached to 2x4’s. I managed to pick up 4 8” pneumatic tires from Harbor Freight for $5 each.

Do you do anything about rust?

A hair curler and some felt added to the shroud with the stock baffles does a great job.

I just read where some Zelos shooter did the same thing. Now I gotta find where my late wife left her curlers.

Rust on the trap? I hit it with black paint a few coats and it lives in my shop when I'm not shooting. Other than pesting I'd rather not spray thousands of lead pellets on my property per year. This trap works mint and I recycle the lead afterwards with my wheel weights. I face it with plywood scraps and staple my targets to that. Included a picture of it with spinners too. All in I think it cost me $100?

 

[Billm]

Ah ok. I plan on leaving my setup outside. I’m not real concerned about rust. I really need a shed or outside shop lol.

I was considering purchasing the Ghost, but I see all those groups marked “Ghost” and none of them are on the targets. j/k lol

Got some new targets in from Orca Targets to try out, and free log book that came with it. The craziness of mail system that I ordered this Friday night, and got it today from Alaska. But my pinty moderator from Indiana still hasn't arrived after a week in transit.

Luckily you can buy something else, because as everyone knows there aint’t no such thing as “Ghost”… Simply buy something else…

Just bought an FX DRS Classic in 22cal with 600mm barrel. I hope it's as light as they say it is. I'll send pics when I get it in early next week.

 

[Danman]

Filter kit, and 2 years of media is in! Still no compressor lol. Same dilemma as @PapaT with shipping....filter kit came from UK. Compressor from British Columbia, ordered a day apart. But it's also over 50pounds. Funny thing is both my pcps are filled right now....when it rolls in I'll just assemble it with filter, dead head it and stare at it I guess . Once the Ghost is out from Hibernation, that problem will be over!

 

[Billm]

I ordered a Ghost .25 last night, now the big wait.

 

[hesco]

Athlon talos 4x16x40 seems to be popular for airguns parallax goes down to 10 yards.

 

[Danman]

And here's the other "half"...Air freedom at last! Nothing like working on a tune or some dope and you run out of air 3/4 of the way through. Both my PCPs will net me 55 shots a fill and that's just not...well...enough some times! I remember a week or two of having my Ghost one of my friends came to see it and shoot his air rifle and .22LR against it. We'll all I could do was show it off. It was still empty from the night before .
Gonna record fill times on it with line plugged, and to fill one of the guns as a performance benchmark.

 

[Billm]

Impulse purchase yesterday afternoon. An hour later I tried to cancel it. Amazon said too late, It’ll be there tomorrow. It showed up this afternoon. I’m still second guessing this one.

 

[Billm]

The Ghost just arrived. It did not include the fill adapter and so I can’t use it yet. AOA is sending me one. But, I figure that will be at least a week out and so I ordered one off of Amazon. I can’t wait to try it.

Had it 2 days. Very impressed so far. Very light for a pcp. Shooting 858fps with JSB 18's out of the box, which is good for this air gun. I assume it will do 60 shots at this power. Will try on Wednesday night and see.

 

[PapaT]

They definitely look lovely, glad you are enjoying so far.

 

[Rwjeter]

The Pellet Shop gets more monies from me. 2 tons of .25 JSB Hades. Placed the order in the morning, it was on the truck that afternoon. Quick shipping as always!

 

[jlowe]

Slightly used FX Wildcat MKIII Sniper tube version in 25cal. Hopefully will be here this week.
