    Air supply for PCP guns. Tank vs compressor

    Pump gets old fast. A bottle and compressor should not be either/or because you still have to fill the bottle. You can have a compressor and bottle, and that way you can take the bottle with you when you go shooting. I would always have a bottle, for that reason. A compressor can be fairly...

    Thinking of replacing mid-grade ammo 22lr shooting at 50Y with PCP

    The question is too wide open. You can spend a little or a lot, just like in powder burners. You can buy a CZ or a Vudoo. You can by Golden Bullets, or CCI SV, or CenterX, etc. You can buy $500-1000 rifles and be happy. You can by $2000-3000 rifes and be happy. Or you can spend >$4000 by guys...

    Thinking of replacing mid-grade ammo 22lr shooting at 50Y with PCP

    It definitely looks like the next evolution in airguns. I’m on the wait list, but may skip it. The first batch finally made it to the US after a 9 month delay, due to COVID delays in the UK, but if you aren’t top of the list you will have to wait several more months to find one. Daystates are...

    Thinking of replacing mid-grade ammo 22lr shooting at 50Y with PCP

    Couple additional notes: - The additional “power” isn’t necessarily to push the ammo harder. That power comes from the larger plenum, and when you have those larger plenums, you can choose between more power or more shots. Most of the time, I’m not chasing the higher speeds (because most pellets...

    Thinking of replacing mid-grade ammo 22lr shooting at 50Y with PCP

    As long as I have rifles with easy adjustability like the Crown, I would add another caliber. If it could only shoot one pellet well, then I would double up on the same caliber. (But I am also not big on having more rifles than I can shoot.) The good thing about the Crown is you can also just...

    Thinking of replacing mid-grade ammo 22lr shooting at 50Y with PCP

    It is amazing! I prefer the chassis over the laminate and synthetic. Having LOP and cheek adjustments and the ARCA rail to really get the bipod out front makes a huge difference... to me. Those are three very important things. The laminate stock couldn’t get the bipod as far out front, and so...

    Thinking of replacing mid-grade ammo 22lr shooting at 50Y with PCP

    I would go for it. FX has manufacturer controlled pricing, so choose where you buy for servicing more than pricing. I would highly recommend Ken Hicks at SPAW (Southern Precision Air Weapons). Call him for a better experience. He will ask how you want to shoot, how far, what ammo and will check...

    Thinking of replacing mid-grade ammo 22lr shooting at 50Y with PCP

    For pellet purchases, buy at Pyramid Air and use NATION20 for 10% all the time. They are so busy this year, they haven’t offered bigger sales much at all. Also, tins are buy 3 get 1 free. Trenier Outdoors is the closest in price and great service. I would suggest JSB in the 25 and 34gr as a good...

    Optics Sold: Athlon Cronus 4.5-29 mil/mil

    BTR is just the current model. Personally, I prefer the reticle on these pre-BTR models more.

    Thinking of replacing mid-grade ammo 22lr shooting at 50Y with PCP

    Yeah. The pump sucks. I bought one with my first Marauder and after that, I knew I had to find a better air supply!

    Congrats man. Exactly what my results have been. I am happy to hear that you are happy so far. I know you were a little skeptical, so that is awesome for the first day. Now, you just need to keep the air flowing. Happy to hear that UA took care of you too.

    Thinking of replacing mid-grade ammo 22lr shooting at 50Y with PCP

    Glad you are finding some settings that are working and having more luck with this rifle. I tried several slugs at different speeds, and the hybrids did the best so far. I only set the Hybrids up for squirrel hunting myself, because they are so expensive. I wouldn’t shoot them much myself. I...

    Thinking of replacing mid-grade ammo 22lr shooting at 50Y with PCP

    I think you made a good call, because you have several options. I came over from 22lr and sold my Vudoo to get into airguns, and I couldn’t be happier. The Vudoo can spoil you for sure! My Vudoo was the first 22lr that I felt like I could always hit the target with at 50 yards, no matter how...

    Thinking of replacing mid-grade ammo 22lr shooting at 50Y with PCP

    177 is definitely harder to fight the wind with especially with light pellets. The 22 will do better in the wind and the FX’s like the 18gr pellets shooting around 880 FPS. I usually only shoot the 18.1gr JSBs and 25.4gr Redesigns in my Crown and it loves them. It takes more air and usually...

    Optics "Liberty Optics and Snipers Hide, Always a Great Match"

    Those Sightrons are a steal! The last one is an SV! You can’t beat these prices! I heard the 25177 may have already been sold out. Scott is great to work with and everyone I have directed his way has been extremely pleased.

    Rimx vs Vudoo

    Great example of why you shouldn’t base your thoughts on whether a rifle loves a type of ammo, until you are able to try a few lots.

    Thoughts on trigger selection.

    I installed the TT Diamond single stage on my Vudoo. It was easily the best trigger I have used. So easy to adjust, so easy to install, and great feel. I think I will try a 2 stage if I build another. I never really cared for 2 stage before, but having used them in other rifles for the past...

    Thinking of replacing mid-grade ammo 22lr shooting at 50Y with PCP

    Decided I would chime in, though not much left to add. I think Steve covered the important bits. I sold several of my nice 22lr, including my Vudoo to focus on air rifles. I did it because I saw have accurate they can shoot, quieter and cheaper per round. I thought I was getting into it to save...
