What'cha doing air gun related today?

[Chief55]

This is why if I went condor I'd go .25 and sling the 33gr heavy pellets, I think... Thanks for the info! I know you like to shoot the bigger stuff but if you ever want to detune, the ring lock kit looks promising and pretty affordable!

I totally agree but they had no .25s in their sale at the time and I have not decided if I would want the 18-inch barrel or the 24-inch barrel. I will keep the ring lock kit in mind as an option when I work out a tune for it but I want to try the 33-40 grain slugs first and they might like going over 1000 fps.

Actually the smallest one is meant to be drilled. The small hole acts as a pilot hole

That's what I do and order a extra ..

More shooting with my Bullshark 177 today. I was shooting JTS 10.4gr yesterday and it did well. Today back to its favorite FX 13.4's at 22 FPE.
I just love how quiet this thing shoots 22 FPE. No moderator, the shroud is just that good.

A new Notos arrived today. This was purchased with a HAM discount. Thanks @hameditor
I’ll be doing a comparison with my Atomic, also purchased with a HAM discount.
I keep a Notos in my collection to loan out to friends to try and get them into PCP. When it’s in my possession its duties are shooting with friends and family. Having some carbine rifles it a lot of fun putting steel targets from 15y out to 30y.

Well today started the process. First up was cleaning that gummy barrel.

It will get my Veyron 10x next week, until then it’s going to wear one of my new Discovery 6x24AO scopes. With a high ring it just clears the Carm high cap mag. This little scope also being on my Bullshark is quickly becoming a suburban back yard favorite. Time will tell if it surpasses my Hawke 4x32AO.

If the scope ends up on the notos permanently it will need to be a little higher.

I did an initial side by side from my pesting window hide. Both shooting FX 15.9gr. 12 rnds Notos bottom right bull, Atomic 11 rnds at the top right. These bulls are .48”

The Notos has 4x less power scope.
The Notos is not as stable from the position I take for these shots. The left to right is due to this.

As you can see, it’s been a rainy day. This steel trap is under a large oak so it didn’t get a lot of the rain.

So far, only about a half a mag from the new Notos and Discovery 6x24AO combo.
Honestly, it’s the only AG I would NEED. Well maybe with my Pard DS35, gotta get those rats. But I love all my AG’s. The Notos might be able to do what the Atomic can, but it just isn’t built or feel anywhere close.

I think the Discovery scopes are nice for the money. I have a 4x16 and I like it.

I felt I was cheating on my Atomic by shooting the Notos today. I ripped off several mags on low power with the Atomic as the sun was going down.

 

[Florida_Man]

Two mags from the Notos today, that’s all. Too much yard work, then the race at Watkins Glen on TV

 

[FL22]

Tighten up Scar Face’s stock screws, scope and put about 70 shots through it today.

Pushed the TX out today again, absolutely loving the new table; light, sturdy, adjustable, and it takes down in 45 seconds....(ok that's a guess!) Zero wind. Pushing the ol 8.44gr pills from 10Y to 50Y, learning my holdovers. Second time doing this so I wrote it down this time. We both kinda fell apart @ 50Y. I will keep hunting shots between 20-40Y with it methinks. All 3-4 shot groups with 4 cold shots under 10Y dot. Notice how it doth stack pellets @ 20, 30, and 40Y. I'm so in love. Have a good week guys, don't forget to try some 20Y offhand!

Nice to see you and your TX getting all cozy again

Shot the .25 Airforce Escape SS. Love this gun. It is not very picky so far. But loves the JTS 25.39 grains. Does well with the heavier pellets also. This has become my favorite airgun.

Lol I'm so cozy with it I am seriously contemplating pulling the trigger block out and polish up the sears and lighten up the pull weight. I put all my guns up on the bench, cock em and watch from the side as I pull the trigger and watch what the gun does. The doesn't move a hair, but the TX....yikes! It's a seriously accurate gun but does pop off the odd flier or 2 and I like to at least eliminate a stiff trigger from the equation.

Pa had a Beeman R spring guide in and only one left ..lol. So I thought I best grab it .. funny no ham points for P.A ? Weird..lol

Then finally nicened up enough to go shoot . Man like 4 days of wet got me rusty.

But managed to do some free hand at 20 before supper

First 5

Then got sloppy ( the right edge should be top / bad flyer should be at bottom right); sorry

Gamo , irons ,cphp .22 , 20 yards standing free

 

[Hateful McNasty]

Another after supper try

Definitely not the best at this . I don't think the gamos 20# trigger pull affects anything .. lol. Not for them careless shots it could of been mo'better....

Gamo , irons, 20y, standing freehand, cphp 22 .... Black ring is 1-1/2" for a fyi.

 

[Florida_Man]

Two mags with the notos, two hi cap carm with 177 bullshark, and five mags with the Atomic.

At home with my 1yo who has flu b again. He just had it in June… daycare…
I was able to get a squirrel with the new notos with discovery 6x24ao. It’s now an official member of the pesting crew of rifles

 

[Florida_Man]

Nap time for the kid. Got my second squirrel with the Notos. Switched platforms to my Bullshark.

I tuned my Bullshark back up for 10gr KO slugs. Not as tight groups at FX 13gr pellets, but its close. But minute of squirrel and deliver an incredible amount of energy for the 21 FPE they leave with.

The eye relief isn't very long with this new Discovery 6x24AO, but I love it so far for backyard pesting 30y and in. And its small enough one ring does just fine.
