What'cha doing air gun related today?

[FL22]

Watching someone new making a lot of fluff posts no introduction, waking up dead threads and keep going back looking at the want to sell.

I would nearly bet a tin of pellets that now that they have the 100 points they’re trying to get the ok to sell something.

Just saying…. If so we should raise the bar.

Getting the new Striker together. Scope from the old one on. 3 pellets later shooting touching groups at 35 yards. Life is good!

You know, if you got a 45 degree picatinny mount you could mount that dot sight way lower to your bore and it makes it a whole lot easier to figure for the close shots. I've used one that way, and I hold the gun out at arms length, I don't even try for a cheek hold, and it's fast and efficient. I'm shooting it holding the gun at angle to keep the dot over the bore and basically shooting it like a big pistol.

Oddly enough I have a 45 that it was on and I really only use it when I am max zoomed to get back on target quickly. With the 45 I was moving the rifle off target getting back on the scope. This way I look up then straight back down and on target. Saw some pro shooters doing it and once I tried I loved it.

Guess who spent their 100 HAM points, I wonder how many Airguns they are trying to stuff in a single classified .

So I don't want to sound dumber than I already am, but why can I not see anything in the classifieds? I see 2 ads only.

That's a really good use for a completely different goal, -I love it! Kudos

I’m not seeing anything in the classified as of yet. You can pull up a member and see their recent activity and HAM points. Some of my statement from my original post was based solely on gut instinct.

My second post was based on the fact that there is only one item that you can cash in just 100 HAM points for, a classified.

Which they did cash in and they are in a Dm which is also visible.

Technically our European brethren can cash in 100 for coupons.

Thanks Papa, good catch.

I bought a spritech(amazon cheepo 100$) pump, it works but it is much slower than the cs2, you should enjoy it very much. If I use it in hot weather I put another fan on it and shaded. Just because a cooler pump is the name of the game.

Thanks. Sorry for the delay, i'll say up front i'm HORRIBLE about checking in on forums and responding.

I've been out ground squirrel shootin' since mid-morning and just came in here to see what's going on today? Man..., this place has been 'dead' today.

On a more positive note..., the Daystar slayed some squirrels that haven't gone to ground yet for the Winter! Long shot was a head/brain kill at 58yds! Damn, I love the Daystar!!!

I put the Arken 7-36X56 GENII on the falcon X just to see if I liked it better. I did not. All back apart and back with the Athlon.

There maybe something wrong with me but I am falling out of love with that Arken. It just never has a good eyebox and I never feel comfortable behind it. It is okay on the XL. I mean super clean glass, tracks well, turrets are awesome, but never feels comfortable.

Oh well I put it all back and now i am waiting on my cool new Wheels.

I shot my Gen 3 Mrod today at some reaction targets at 135y and 195y. My first shot was a hit, which always sets the tone nicely. Speaking of tone, I thought the shot was slow because of how quiet the gun is now, running the prototype. The gun wasn't slow, the prototype just really works well, it baffles me how well it works (pun intended).

I think it take a LOT of money to come up to or beat Athlon glass

Yeah the Arken is pretty nice glass really. Just does not fit me and that is a shame. I really liked it when i got it. The Athlon is more than enough on the Pinty.

I received o-rings for the .25 fx barrel on my zelos, one outer o-ring was clipped. Replaced the probe o-ring and both outer o-rings. I received a 3rd o-ring in the kit. Not sure where it goes but I'll check fx website. Maybe the liner has an o-ring? My speed was slower by and inconsistent after I changed them. I'll pull the barrel again and check. My speed isn't just inconsistent it's low with random spikes. Before I pull the barrel I'll make sure my home cut hammer spring is long enough as well. It shot great for about 25 shots before I double loaded and had to tap the slugs out w a carbon fiber rod.

I shot 20 rounds out of the pinty buster w/ h & n 15.9s with a pause in the rain, it seems to like them at 15 or so yards.

Late in the evening I attempted to disassemble the regulator on avenge x and it wouldn't budge. The pin holes are small and I couldn't get anything to catch well enough, got frustrated and ordered another regulator. I didn't want to damage the regulator so I'll fight that battle another day.

I swapped the scopes around on my Benjamin M357 and the Airforce EscapeSS with the .20 barrel. Both scopes are 1x10x Monstrum LVPOs, but I wanted the SFP one on the big bore and the FFP one on the smaller caliber gun. Then I took the .357 out and sighted it back in. Always so much fun to shoot that gun. I love going from 81 grain pellets too 158 grain slugs and everything in between. I will take the .20 out and sight it in on another day.

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.

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.
