What'cha doing air gun related today?

[Fred Bear]

Not exactly airgun but I spent about 2 hours killing flys with my bug asalt rifle and it is a springer. I did manage to kill around 50 flys.

Fired my Uragan 2 700 .25 this morning. Only fired one, 5-shot group at 50yds just for trigger-time, and to make sure zero is remaining spot on. Would love to shoot it a lot more but the Altaros 49.5gr slugs are $0.30 a shot, or $1.50 for one five shot group!

First day coyote calling for this Fall/Winter season will be Friday evening. Hope the U2 gets a chance to send an Altaros to an unlucky Yote!

Also fired 40-shots through the 250z at 50yds this morning. Still grouping, and maintaining it's zero. Nothing not to like about a rifle that performs like the 250z.

We have open season year round.

We have open season year round.

What I meant was that I only hunt coyote during Fall and Winter. Friday is the first day I'll go calling this season. Coyotes are still unprotected wildlife here in Oregon. Animal rights groups are constantly trying to get it shut-down all together!

I worked on the range today. I got some 1" conduit cut a the Depot for a steel hanging stand with a 4", 6", and a 8" AR500 steel. Cheap on amazon $35 for all of it and $40 in conduit cut for free. I can use it for powder guns as well. Drove in 2 t-post and hangers I learned about here.

Finally I have not shot my old Avenger in a long time so I thought it was a good way to try everything out. I forgot how good it shoots!!!! Wow it is a tack driver at 50 yards and good at 80 (the new steel). If you need a entry level rifle that is super accurate don't forget about the Avengers. FX .22 15.9gr 968fps for the win.

What I was doing gun related is wondering if there are any organized air rifle ranges in Oregon, aside from the facility in Ashland, which is next door to California, and hours away from Clackamas.

I don't know the answer to that question.

I am in South Central Oregon and am not aware of any organized airgun activities in our area. I wish there was an indoor air rifle benchrest league for Winter activity up here..., but no such luck.

I'm going to tune a little on my marauder gen 3. See where it is and where it is happy.

More 50yd shooting with my U2 and 250z this morning.

Also, building a new 'shirt pocket drop chart' (I don't use a smart phone) for the U2 rifle shooting the Altaros .25 49.5gr slugs.

Also, drying out my compressor filters & desiccant beads. I do it once a month.

Going to Grandson's HS football game tonight. Game's Thu instead of Fri this week, Oh wait..., that's not airgun related.

Complain they do right up until they start taking your pets or calfs as they are being born.

Well I didn't get to spend much time on that, I had to drive Miss Daisy. My wife wanted to get out so we did just that.....electric buggy at you guessed it wally world. She didn't run over anybody or hit anything so that was a good trip. I did get a little time in on the gen 3, I went from 1100 reg. to 1400 an found that the hammer spring doesn't take much. JSB 18.13 is running around 890ish now, it was around 750ish. It seems to group a little better there we'll see with some more tinkering.

Before you turned-up the reg. did you try adjusting the hammer spring? I've been curious about how the assisted-valve and hammer spring interact together on the Gen 3. My U2 has an assisted-valve and the hammer spring has no affect over the valve.

No I went from 1100 to 1400 on the reg that brought it from 750ish to about 870 and then less than a 1/4 turn of the hammer spring took it to low 890s. Very little on the hammer spring. The chonograph I got is a very cheap china model, I don't know why I bought the thing now I have got to get a good one.
