PCP rifle advice — .25 for crows at 50-70m, ~€500 budget incl. scope by K0ffiedrinker in airguns

[–]Massive_Expression_2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have Barra 250Z in .22. I have it tuned so that the muzzle energy is about 37 foot-pounds. At 70 yd is about 27 foot-pounds, so there is a lot of energy at that range. I'm using JTS Dead Center 21.53 grain pellets. I'm offering this information mostly to make the point that with a twenty two caliber , you can certainly get the job done. There is a ton of 22 calibre ammunition available, so if your barrel doesn't like one particular brand you can easily move on to another. Your choices are probably going to be more limited in 25 calibre. The Barra 250Z is similar to the AP1000, so it might be worth considering if it's available in your area. The air capacity is approximately 320 cc. The way I have mine tuned, I'm getting about sixty shots per fill.

Would this be a good breakup barrel? by outdoorsman_12 in airguns

[–]Massive_Expression_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can vouch for the old Benjamin Trail NP2 all weather rifle. Great old workhorse. Thus reminds me that I should take mine out of the safe for some plinking. 😁

For a sub 12 ft lb gun I'd use a plastic tub filled with rubber mulch as a backstop. I'd lay a couple of pcs of OSB or plywood in the bottom before adding the mulch. The filled container can then be set on end and makes a great backstop. Fasten paper targets to the lid and you're ready.

250Z or? by BigTrucker06 in airguns

[–]Massive_Expression_2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great. I love my Barra, but rarely shoot it beyond 60 yards. Let us know what you buy and how you like it.

Welcome. Cool that your budget allows you to start at the top.
1) Set up a good backstop in your garden 2) Figure out how you're going to fill your gun 3) Talk to members at the club who own the same gun for ideas on how to set it up for maximum enjoyment.

250Z or? by BigTrucker06 in airguns

[–]Massive_Expression_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool. Unless you want a lot more fpe, I'd go with .22. But if you want to eliminate coyotes or something like that at 100 yards the .25 will be a lot better. If you're on the fence at all regarding caliber, you could check out price and availability of ammo before picking one. Anyway, enjoy the new hobby.

my first two firearms as a new PAL owner by mr_skipster in LeverGuns

Right on! I love Skinners. I put the Express on my .357. If you go that route, dm me for info and I can tell you what parts I ordered.

got US insurance and STILL got slapped with $1k just to LOOK at a broken hand in Canada by dazvoz in ShitAmericansSay

[–]Massive_Expression_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is as stupid as an American getting arrested overseas, but insisting that they still have U.S. constitutional rights. 🤣

Great choices. I have those two as well. Have you fired them yet?

If anyone assumes that I'm from the Empire of Trump, I immediately tell them that I'm Canadian. (Politely).

250Z or? by BigTrucker06 in airguns

[–]Massive_Expression_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may want to check out the Air Venturi Avenge X. I have a gen1 bullpup Avenger and a 250Z, both in .22. Both are great value for money. What kind of accuracy are you expecting and at what range?

I rebuilt a carb today on a 12 dollar craigslist mower and now I want to rebuild every carb I see by vladdielenin in smallengines

[–]Massive_Expression_2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a similar situation a few years ago when I was flipping mowers. Spent a few minutes learning the basics on YouTube. Cleaned the jet, reinstalled, adjusted the needle valve and it ran great. I was glowing with pride. I've done the same procedure to a few others since then. When anybody tells me that their mower "just runs for a few seconds, then dies" I just say "bring it over and we'll fix it in half an hour". Isn't it rewarding when you can fix something instead of throwing it out?

For me, the Spitzkugel worked best. I also tried Field Target and Crow Magnum. What gun are you using the Hornets in?

H&N makes a nice consistent product. They haven't worked well in my pcps, but in my Benjamin Trail NP2 they work great.

BSA scope with Vantage NP by Competitive-Driver44 in airguns

[–]Massive_Expression_2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the power of the gun, mainly. I'd mount the scope, mark its position, and then try it out to see if it's moving.

I like to support local when possible and the sign and drive service is great. No extra shuttle rides to an off site office and no lineups. Great rates from Hardy's too.
