Swapped out the 2‑year‑old gauge on my inline regulator today since the old one was starting to wander. I also picked up a hard case off eBay for the used Labradar I just bought — only cost me $14 — and I had to work with what I already had here, so I added some foam to get the chrono to sit in there nice and snug. Nothing fancy, just some maintenance and organizing to keep the gear protected and ready for the next range trip.

Well I (finally) finished porting the the rest of the Nova Liberty .22 changed the poppet spring for a lighter one. (Gained 25-30 fps) My only problem is I have not made the hammer spring adjuster for it. I stole the adjuster off my .25 cal Seneca Aspen(in my .177 Liberty now and I can tune it with ease!) as it is a direct match after I drill out for 2 slightly larger retention screws. Other than that I have a few heavier hammer springs from Alien Airwerks to play with. I could steal the hammer adjuster off my .22 Aspen/.177 Nova freedom but I want to sell those and I won't steal parts. Time to buy a chunk of aluminum and make my first custom piece I think.
Shot my 130 during the rain, in my gazebo. Then between rains I tried out my new Reximex Lieva. I am not a fan of its iron sights, and it has a bark. But firing off 12 rounds in under 25 seconds without breaking sight picture is sure fun.
I do understand. I had a Gamo Raptor at one time that I gave to my brother-in-law once I saw my first pcp.

We tried to tell you to get an HW50
The perfect blend of "power and recoil" for the cocking effort. Do you know the claimed effort on the Gamo?

Fine tuning my radar.
I believe you may have misunderstood its directions.

Put some wood elixir (cutting board paste) on the stock of my Lieva, and a lit of hunting/hft research today. Me and a fellow VA airgunner are in talks about starting to get together and do some FT practice/hangouts. Potentially start running an informal shoot on his property. Time for Papa to start learning what he can and can't do with his rifles.

Good morning air gunners! I hope you have a wonderful day. Been outback ringing the steel on this beautiful day!

PapaT, is the trouble the locking bar fitting into the slots on the Pinty rail?
There was an initial hiccup with figuring out the rail tightening, but that went fine. No, my issues were mostly with the rear mount to scope connection. Pretty sure it was trying to cross-thread itself and other general shenanigans. Looks good on there now, and I even snuck out to perform some nighttime rough zeroing. Scope is now approximately zeroed for 20-25 yards with JTS 18.1gr pellets. I will give it a better zero in the daylight, rested.

Good deal. I just put a new Monstrum 4X red/green dot site on my P-pup this evening. still needs maybe 4 up and 3 right for 30 yard zero. I have the unenviable chore of running strays that have been dumped around here, away from our house tomorrow. Don't wanna hurt them, just give them a good whelt on the rears, as reminder our chickens are not on the menu, and neither are our barn cats. they do and have killed them both several times when they are allowed to group together, and people dump them out here in the county, were houses are far in between.
I have that problem with people dumping cats on us. My wife can't stand to see them staving and they just mysteriously show up out of nowhere. They don't seem to understand that the squirrels are mine, but they will let the chickens just about step on them.

Hahaha, yeah, cats can be cool that way. Even to baby chicks. I've seen a couple of momma cats curled up in the sunlight, chicks laying on them, just like kittens.
I try to keep them well fed with squirrels, rabbits, and starlings. And they supplement that with ground squirrels and moles. A pellet is a whole lot cheaper than a bag of cat chow!
