What'cha doing air gun related today?

[Cantona256]

Shot twice the amount of pictured pest birds… All caught in the actual act of stealing feed… I did miss a shot on a rat which made me very unhappy…

Which of the BRK’s were you using? Good shooting!

Was using my Pathfinder XR sending CPHPs, furthest shots of the day 45 yards. The bulk of the kills at 25-30 yards…

I've been trying to find them since Hank of Indiana Airguns used/sent out to some people.

They are on the Walnut and Steal Amazon Store

About 10 pellets plinking at steel with my R7. It loves the 7.33gr

That is the ONLY domed pellet I have tried (multipe times!) that my TX200 dislikes. She's not pellet fussy and shoots the 7.87gr and up real well. Did your tin specify head size? I'm thinking mine might be 4.50-4.51 or are going a bit too fast

I bought them from Pyramyd and they say .1776 (4.51mm), its not on the tin.
I also have the Air Arms Falcon .177 Cal 4.52mm but haven't tried them in this rifle yet.

After thought now that I looked that up. The JSB’s don’t seat at snug as some other pellets I tried. It will be interesting to try the air arms and see if those are a little more snug and if the barrel likes that more.

Got the Hawke 4xAO mounted on the Cometa, using a BKL 1-piece mount. Parallax doesn't match the markings, but overall a great rig. Just need to sling it. Probably a leather shotgun sling from Midway, since it deserves a little bit better than a Gamo sling.

Yeah its a mystery to me, as they seem to be missing the labeling on the 7.33 RS tin i have?The 8.44gr is clearly labeled "4.52" on the back. All the reviews said they were a great pellet in the TX....but not for mine. (on paper it has fairly similar specs to an HW50, and shoots em about 925fps, IIRC) After testing I often put a plus or minus on bottom of the .177 tins so I know if they are pesting-worthy or not

Great little scopes. I had this one on a PB I used for CMP Sporter. When I got back into AG’s it quickly found a home on 2240.

I casually shot my R7 and Bullshark. 177 day.

Ooooh Bullshark! I know yours is a great shooter. How do the 22 and 25 caliber accuracy wise compare? I have located a newish 25 Bullshark but can't make up my mind whether i want to get it or not. What's your opinion of these larger calibers?

I have only shot my 177 Bullshark. I do have a P35 25 cal. I shot a high 180’s 30 yard challenge with it. That was using a Pard DS35 digital scope that only maxes 14x. It’s only about a 37 fpe rifle, but that’s all I need. The P35 barrel is a little shorter.

On a 177 37 fpe is great! Thanks for letting me know. Oops, thanks Papa T for reminding me it was the P35 25 cal. My BSA R10 MK2 in 177 using 16 grain pellets gets me 29 fpe at 900 feet per second. I was having a senior moment! Lol. Happy Sunday guys.

I think that was for the 25 cal P35.

 

[Dogowski]

I think that was for the 25 cal P35.

Seems like the P35 should put out more than 37 fpe? It's the shorter barrel I'm sure. Thanks for the correction Papa T!

Yup, its a P35 25 cal. 38 FPE

Off topic here but just looking for advice, I'd like to treat myself to a really Top Tier PCPAir Rifle and I was considering the Daystate Huntsman Revere or the Weihrauch HW100 any thoughts or advice from you experienced PCP air gunners?

Between heat and wind just about all i did was set up a card at 10m and adjust the R9's hinge bolt. It was a exciting 10-20 shots . Pretty much moring or afternoon shooting been a bust . So back in the AC sipping tea and trolling forums and gun shopping for a deal that aint there..lol

Between two doctors appointments I’m contacting AOA to see what they will allow for trading in my Western Airgun Sidewinder Compact (that I just purchased ) on the MARDAX VENUM
