Others Zelos build update

[Northeastbeast]

Another build that i enjoyed from beginning to end. Started life as a standard Umarex Zelos 25 caliber.
The end goal is to tune the rifle for Fx Hybrid slugs which shoot extremely stable and flat. This rifle has been alot of fun and the aftermarket is quite broad and growing each day. I have some plans to make a adjustable cheek rest and buttstock. I have made this rifle truly my own. Ive also been making a drop in trigger kit for this rifle which makes it very very light and crisp. Mine breaks at 8oz very small first stage definitive wall and a glass like break.

Build sheet as follows

C88 Machining brass power valve
C88 machining power plenum
C88 Machining bottle adapter & 580 carbon bottle
C88 machining Fx barrel kit & Carbon fiber shroud
C88 Machining over sized knurled cocking handle
1/8 bsp 28mm 350bar reg gauge
Bravo3D Joystick benchrest grip
Bravo3D bottle pic rail adapter
Rus bear moderator
Hawke vantage 3-12x44 milldot scope

Are you getting close to selling the drop in trigger kit yet? Your work is impressive!

Like a lazer beam, still working on tunes and trying to figure out which way I'm going to go with it...IE slugs and or pellets

Awesome work, well done! Everywhere I turn is another airgun that I want to get. This has to stop, at some point, soon, maybe next year, maybe not. At least I don't have a lathe or a milling macine, or I'd never come up for air. It seems you aren't, you've been busy. You need to use one of your creations (hopefully the 250z) and win some competitions with it. I'd love to see that.

Got a question? Do you have about the same amount of invested as an impact now? Don’t own an impact! Don’t like the mag sticking in the face being left handed! But do own a Panthera and dynamic because the mag is in front of the face.

 

[Powermonger1]

Do like the build though

Not even close to the cost of an impact.

So what are you getting for power out put. I get 230-260 ft lbs in my 30 shooting the griffins 108s and my hand cast 135s at 935 fps when turned up with my power mods. And my 25 pushing 68 grainers around 930 and working on it to track 1000 fps

I have not tried to max it out, have not had alot of time to play with it unfortunately. But im planning to dedicate some time to see what she has.

Its amazing I love the rifle. Im trying to find a 700mm heavy liner so I can try Altaros 60gn slugs and or i may have a lother walther made for it and do the same with it.

I remember when they came out, and Comparing it to the Snowpeak M60B I felt that the M60b was the better looking of the 2. Kepp us posted on how it goes!

They are the same rifle made in same factory. The Umarex is just rebadged

Yes, that I knew, It was the Zelos that didn't have the Bottle option, and to Me it just looked ugly. lol

The tube though not pretty does work well for keeping it a lower profile. But I do perfur a bottle for shot count myself. C88 machining makes a darn good one at a fantastic price point
