Was windy all night and through today! Double digit swirling winds and rain today. I fired a couple 5-shot groups with my Uragan2 .25 using Altaros 50gr. I was trying to shoot during lulls in the wind, but lulls were short lived before a big gust would send the wind flags straight horizontal...

The twist in my Daystar is 1:17. I choose to not shoot at our small ground squirrels farther than about 65yds. I say, '65yds' because I have 'fudged' a little and killed squirrels into the 70s. My AEA 18.3s at 890fps are still grouping well at 70yds. There are/were a few ground squirrels...

My main squirrel rifle is my Daystar .22. I shoot the 18s at 890fps and I could not imagine better accuracy! Since the AEAs and JTS came out I have read a lot of threads where folks talk about accuracy at much higher velocity than anyone ever achieved with JSBs. I think a lot of the older...

I didn't stay at the 910fps velocity. I found best accuracy at 950fps with the reg. pressure at 1800psi.

This might sound overly simple, but did ya check the bottle gauge?

I've been buying one new air rifle a year. I usually wait and buy it during the holiday sales that many vendors have. Recently, I noticed that Barra increased the price of the 250z. Nearly all vendors are now showing the new price increase. In the case of Midway USA, where I bought my current...

Fired two 20-shots groups through the 250z .22 this morning. Tuned-down to shoot AEA 18.3gr at 950fps. Accuracy appears the same as when the velocity was up at 990fps but now I get more shots per fill which is what I wanted for just straight target shooting from the bench. :cool: I'm thinking...

Just noticed Midway has started to carry some popular models of FX air rifles. :cool:

Which 50gr slug are you shooting? And what velocity do they like?

Any rumors or info. about new rifle models for 2027? What are guys hearing/reading?

I've never had a good compressor. I've burned through a few $200-$300 'throw-away' compressors. I have gotten 2-3yrs on each compressor. When they stop working I throw them out and buy another.

Last two mornings I have been working toward setting-up my 250z .22 to shoot 18gr instead of the 22gr I have been shooting. I intend to use the 250z as my 'everyday' target shooter during the Winter months. My goal was to reduce reg. pressure and improve shot count while maintaining good...

I suppose the best answer I can come up with is..., I get bored and need to 'tinker' with stuff to keep my mind active. :LOL:

Yes, and the mirror focus changes with bore diameter. Also, brightness of the lamp (if adjustable) can help see the bore really well.

That's a great looking bore!
