This gun has sparked a lot of interest for me. The fact that it has enough power to shoot .22cal boat tail slugs and with the ease of changing calibers seems like a really good candidate for the benchrest gun I’m looking for. I need something where I can easily switch between .22cal slugs and...

Sweet rig! I have two myself.

I had a Taipan Veteran 2 and did not have good luck with slugs either. Didn’t have much luck with a BRK Ghost, and a HM 1000x. FX, Epic, and RTI have been excellent with slugs. Very easy to tune as well.

Thanks, sorry didn’t convey my words correctly. Yeah, not being able to shoot at home would suck, but I know plenty of marksman who don’t have that luxury.

Southern California.

I said they have only 30 yard backyards and still have slug guns. They don’t shoot at home. The range.

Which is hypocritical because the majority of the shooters in the pellet competition are making around the same power. They are having slug benchrest competitions with good turnout already. Just not RMAC, or EBR, but I feel like that is going to change in the near future. Until then I’ll keep...

Gotta have the power for slugs and typically the average PCP doesn’t have it.

Didn’t say they shoot in the backyard. They just have 30 yard backyards and shoot slugs. When someone has a good tune with slugs all they have to do is check speed. I have a chronograph with a back stop inside of my house and shoot rimfire into it. With how these guns hold a tune now and with...

We can agree to disagree. By the way, there are plenty of people who shoot slugs with only 30 yards in their backyards. I hunt with a couple of them.

I think you are off on that. Pretty much everyone I personally know who has a high powered airgun shoots slugs now. Maybe the majority who shoots low powered airguns don’t use slugs, but I’m willing to bet the majority of shooters using high powered airguns are now shooting slugs.

Same could be said with high powered pellet guns. Not a valid reason to leave out slugs in competition.

Not saying he bought, but you can buy them already tuned shooting the AEA pellets that good.

The guy has an entire YouTube segment on it. Anyone can get that gun like he did.

You can ordered them pre tuned. Guy got one at my club and it is hole on hole out of the box.

You can order them pre tuned and ready to go.

The guy who has the becnhrest and extreme field target event in Oregon is doing it right. He added slug benchrest right away and clearly has the vision to see where the sport is headed. From what I gather he is adding ultimate field target as well with slugs. EBR and the pyramid cup could easily...

To be fair the guy who just won RMAC won it with a Red Panda that was fresh out of the box and he never shot it before. The learning curve is easier than ever and high powered slugs are plug and play in my experience. If an average Joe has the money, he is basically competitive right away.

That’s how I feel.

I bet if they had just as many slug classes as pellet classes it wouldn’t be long until there would be a fall off in pellet strict competition.
