New Airgun to here. (But old gun guy)
I just got it and did a little zeroing in.
Umarex Notos
HN Baracuda Match 21.14gr
Truglo 1-6x24
An uncomfortable bench.
10 yard zero then 25 yard final zero 3 shot groups.
Great advice Thanks !!
I will be making a dedicated kit just for this. I have far too many tools and cleaning stuff for the majority of my collection. For the most part, it seems that patches remove most of the lead from within. However, if the rifling gets too leaded, I imagine it would lead...
I just watched that video and saw that trick. Awesome. Thanks !
Especially since it has a moderator. (Which I assume you dont want to get oil in).
Are airgun barrells better a little tiny oiled or dry? For the most part?
OK. Glad I watched a few vids on cleaning. My mind has always been clean then re-shoot for a little dirty barell to maintain accuracy. Good ideas on pull throughs, Napier and patch worms. Gonna get a list together and order today.
Any recomendations on your favorite non-petroleum based...
Seems on the notos, the chamber area is so small, I think that patch worm is the answer. Enough bend in it to allow a patch to pass through. Umarex cleaning kit has mops and jags, but I cant see that being able to flex. Youd think they would have a flexible brush for this. (Million dollar idea?)
Thanks ! Yeah, I got to watch some good videos on that. I have some cleaning cords, but likely a 223. I think will do the trick, but I will double check on that. I figured there was some o-rings in there somewhere. Air has to come in from some port, any suggestions ot tips are more than welcome...
Your correct sir ! Holy cow, so happy I choose this one. I bet with some tweaking you can get this to be near olympic status. Well, maybe not that, but close enough. Im no skier......lol
I must give a shout out to HAM for doing the write up and making the choice of starter pellets easy.
Without a doubt, great shooter.
I will be giving it a little scrub tommrow. Stupid question, but is it okay to clean from the muzzle down on air guns? I have NEVER done that on any...
I would like to say, where has this been all my life? ?
Wow. I have been shooting most of my life. This little air rifle is amazing to say the least.
Out of the box accurate and after a few familiarization and zeroing, I got my groove back.
To Nasty, Thanks. I did the box of cardboard and...
So far, its now been about 64 hours and its been holding roughly at my initial air I added now at 2250psi.
Does the tank lose air over longer periods of time?
Awesome and thank you all for the advice. I definetly will be working on one today and will let you know how it goes.
Glad I got to chat with many of you over airgun stuff. Looking forward to more conversations !!
Stay safe and shoot straight.;)
I was contemplating on using it for higher pistol and rifle caliber at some point as well. I think the 55 should be good for just about anything if I fill it with rubber mulch, and use a good backstop. Maybe thats a plan for another day, as I just want to get this dialed in. I got an armadillo...
I sure will be checking around. The only problem with getting a big blue 55gallon is the wife may think I am going to do some Drew Petersen stuff. :ROFLMAO: kidding !!
Looks perfect ! Thanks !!!
Simple, outdoor capable and easy to move with a dolly/dump bed cart.
I will keep my eyes open for one around my area.
Thanks again !
Awesome advise. Thanks !
I used my new compressor. I went to 200 BAR as I felt filling it to Max might be off with a new gauges and all. I noticed the compressor set to 200 but the Notos was just a little shy of that. I will wait the 72 and see if it holds pressure. Do the tests Wed and then...
