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!

"Airgun Related"..., I'm sitting here watching college football but thinking about turning down the regulator on my 250z to slow the 18.3s down from the 990fps they are shooting now. They are shooting very well at 990fps but I just have this 'feeling' the 18s can do a little bit better at a...

Billm, your skills with this kind of stuff is pretty amazing! :cool:

This morning I swapped out scopes on my 250z. I pulled the SWFA 16 x 42 and installed my Mueller 8-32 x 44. For target shooting only I like running higher magnification so I can refine my POA. I fired some groups using 32X and JTS 18.1gr at 990fps. OMG, the 250z likes the lighter 18s over...

Don't count how many times I have changed my mind since I started this thread! :ROFLMAO: I've been thinking hard about another rifle as we are approaching the sales time of the year! I've been thinking Epic Vision, DRS MK2 Classic Walnut or Redline and RAW wood stock. But mostly I have been...

This morning I decided that I was going to shoot my 250z as my 'daily' target/bench rifle for the Winter. The rifle is tuned for AEA 21.9gr but I thought maybe I would re-tune it for AEA 18.3s to save money on ammo for target shooting. Before I changed anything on the 250z I thought I would...
