What'cha doing air gun related today?

The Beeman RS2 that I recently bought at a yard sale had no front fiber optic sight on eighter the .22 or the .177 barrels so I ordered some .40 red fiber sticks from eBay. 1st time I ever installed any. First one was just okay, but the second one came out pretty good.

Shot the TalonSS .177 this morning and it did well with JSB13gr, 10gr KO MK3s, and great with JSB 10 grain pellets. Have to seat the 10gr ammo in about 1/16 inch for it to do well. Just pushed it in with another pellet.

This evening I turned my Barra 1866 .177 Gen1 multi pump, I got at a yard sale, into a Gen2 with the pellet loading ramp and scope rail. Barra has a little video on UTube on how to do it. The main thing to watch out for is the BB loading door failing off, the cocking mechanism being engaged properly and the spring for the hammer safety being installed the right way. This is a nice little gun. Wish I could get one in .20.

Shot the avenge x trying to tune it. Aea .22 25.3 gr pellet around 895 with ok results. Adjusted the scope and then I shot 30 rounds in my back yard. Been a while since I shot, it was nice. On-line people have said they shoot well on the avenge x around 920 so I'll bump it up and try again. The regulator always creeps from 2000 to 24-2500 as it sits over night. I just do a few dry shots before I load a mag. Looking at a westhunter hd gen 2 8-32x56 for a budget long range scope. May bite the bullet, reviews seem descent and for the price it can't be beat.

I would work my way up on speed. Forget about FPS and look at groups. Each rifle is different so I start with the hammer all the way out then start going in on 3-5 round groups until I either get it where it groups great or I run out of speed.

That Westhunter looks good for $200.

Forgot to admit my airgunning habit yesterday!

After yardwork, finally got some time and put my UUQ 3-9x40 AOEG scope on the Winchester 1873 and got it rough sighted for 25 yards. Plan was 5 pumps, but it was shooting high at 3, and seemed to be consistent, so I sighted for 3 pumps instead. Started in on pellet testing, but ran out of time before I had to go to other commitments, so I only got to test US Crosman family pellets (Benjamin disco, cphp, premier domed).

None seem to have promise, but many more to go. I did try a couple of shots with cphp at 5 pumps. They hit on opposite sides of my 3 inch center plate of 5-in-1, so I stuck with 3 pumps.

Yesterday no wind, today the hurricane brought all of the wind. Tomorrow, the promise is worse wind. One day I'll get back to testing to find my magic pellet.

Think I'll get in the blind and shoot some crows. The wife has started up about them again, she really does not like those birds.

Unpacked my pellet order from Pyramyd Air. Only to find the FX Halo slugs all over the inside of the shipping box. FX packages them in a tray. Not a tin container. Sent PA an email. Hopefully they aren't damaged. Wont know until I can find time to test them in my Tipan Slash. I'm still working. Hope everyone's. Sunday is quiet

I was thinking about using one of the pumps but after popping some targets I changed my mind : )
