Why tame down a boat anchor to what a 95 does without the weight? I have a golden rule when it comes to a springer. When desiring a new gun, I choose the model first, second the caliber that yields 680-730 fps. Anything beyond this is to much “rifle-to-accuracy” ratio.

Welcome! That's a rifle I would love to have in my collection....not yet though. Got pics?

I don't know which compressor that is, but is it meant to fill scuba tanks or rifles directly? If it's for scuba tanks using a filter that large would make sense, but for slower compressors meant for filling rifles directly it might be a little counter productive, as filling the filter might take just as long as filling the small rifle bottle.

WOW nice grips , what brand ?

There are no miracles in the world. Buy another rifle for this, Diana 54/56 or Weirauch 90. The Hawk scope is not the best choice.

Thsnks. What scope would you recommend for this R1?

Damn Fed Ex changed the delivery date again! That’s three times now and the package has to be signed for. I got my eye operated on this morning so it would have worked out for the afternoon delivery. Now they want to deliver over noon time tomorrow and I have a 11:30 follow up appointment.

Change the delivery to your nearest cvs or walgreens and you wont have to worry about meeting their drop off time.

Now that is one fine looking setup and congrats on taking the gray., what pellet or slug were you using?

bucketboy said:

Yes, my mate James bought a .22 yesterday









Back for repair today

30shots then BANG, all the air dunpted out of the barrel





On the plus side, it was 10 more shots than his maverick did before it went bang and dumped all its air

Your friend has some bad FX luck lol.

The R1 is a fantasticly smooth and accurate rifle at 15 to 17 fpe with a properly installed Vortek PG4 kit trimmed to produce these power levels. I have done several of these tunes, and a tree rat out to 50 yards won't know the difference between 15 and 19 ft lbs.

Thanks. That's what this has. A trimmed down PG4.

I love that there is product innovation and evolution. But if the BR100s are in some way flawed, which is subtley implied here, should they be discontinued? I know there were production process issues with the (unmarked) gen 1 vs gen 2, but if there are inherent aerodynamic instabilities that the BR50s correct... well it would be nice to communicate that to the customer. Pull the bad stock from the market, correct the problem if possible, and transparently re-release a new gen.

All that said I'm really excited to try the BR50s. Closer weight to most other .30 cal pellets means easier to tune the gun when testing ammo, more shots, and less recoil.

I will try to explain it.

First of all, before I start, no one knows everything and no one is infallible.

We were making many tests over a year, searching for the real issue/what is causing instability. Every time we were on a chase for some error at the end we realized that this is not the case, so over the year we were eliminating possible "issues" coming from manufacturing. At the end we realized there is no. It is simply a stability issue which is normal/common with every pellet or better said every heavier pellet. I don't want to name any other competition, but you know about which we are talking about, having stability issues, shown as flyers(mostly low). We all know that one .22 existing pellet works very good in calm day, but not at all in the wind. It is physics that you cannot take out of the equation. Stability results will change with different things, weather, speed, location, winter, summer etc, wind direction, twist rate, choke, no choke, etc. That is why it is hard to duplicate spiral results, especially outside.

That is why we made that one, lighter version, which is way better in stability.

Same you have with 44 and 51 grain pellets in .30. 51 grain simply doesn't work as good as 44, and that is why they do not apply discounts, but some find them good for their specific use, and you chose the one that works better for you.

As a newcomer in pellet manufacturing, we had a very good year in learning things, huge break through in learning curve and even more important in manufacturing, so we are positive that we learned a lot and will now be able to implement all these things with new coming pellets/designs/pellet manufacturing technology. We are not the best, we never said we know everything, we always listen to shooters/market, so we will always search to improve things no matter how good they are and especially learn, so at the end of the day you will be able to hit more X then you were ever before.

And yes, after one more year we will learn even more things, and we will be able to say that this new pellet is much better, and it will actually be, but that doesn't mean the older version is bad. The new one is just better, like with every other thing on this planet. Or is it better to stop development and make existing pellets for the next 50 years? Me as i shooter i don't agree with that idea.

Wish you a nice day,

Didn't have time to shoot today as I was busy smoking a brisket for my aunt who flew in from HI and for a friends BDay, started it @ 8pm last night, finished @ 10am this morning.....yawn...tired now with a full belly....fixings were potato salad, green salad, bread, mac & cheese and white corn on the cob....

uhhh...that's not paper
Looks Fantastic!!
ever hear of the "Pit Barrel" smoker? a simple 55 gallon oil drum that is a wonderful cooker
Now i am hungry!!
Post some targets next time ....hahahahahaa or more recipies since i'm hungry ..lol

Every barrel has it's own demands for accuracy; some like to shoot leaded up for more accuracy, some like lube and a frequent cleaning, along with a multitude of other possibilities. It is up to the shooter to determine where best accuracy lays.

You are correct. The label does have senders name on it and under the name (owner) it has GoG Paintball and our address. The picture below shows the brown box with Fragile tape around the center and fiber tape sealing the ends. All airguns go out this way.

I was in Logistics for 34 years.
Worked in all shifts..all hours of the day.
!st thing i would say is get rid of the "Fragile" tape...no one reads it ..and it ia a dead give-away on where it came from.
Thieves in a warehouse will target similar looking boxes..like cell phone boxes, that always has the same packaging.
All your shipments look the same.
To a smart thief, you are telling them this is your box. Local warehouse workers will see these boxes more frequently and will be more familiar with their contents. Believe me...we generally know what is inside and can tell what company they came from.
This is why i think it was local...more familiar with your boxes.
2nd ..The BIG shippers care less and less about security. Instead of investigating, they just pay it off.
Heavily insure everything and file claims immediately.
Hope the rifles are recovered and the problem doesn't escalate

Think you got that backwards. Scuba (metal) blows up not scba. Thinking CF tanks (if certified) are 15 years.

New CF tanks have a 30 year certifiable life with nondestructive ultrasound testing.

Total and complete BS

Yes, Johnsons is fine.

Power is overrated in springers, they have a sweet spot under twenty fpe. Anything after that is a crap shoot. PCP's excel at 20 fpe to about 100 fpe. PB's for anything above 100 fpe. YMMV

Well a kid these days can probably whip up a wanted poster like that in no time, personally i would be utterly clueless.
But i will admit it is too bad the OP have not followed up with additional info that would facilitate helpful souls.

It would be nice to know if you have to search all shelves or just the ones less than waist high.

Take care of that beauty Lewis. Looking good as usual.

Usually I start with speeds on high 800"s and start shooting groups. Increase speeds until the group fights up. If your LONG ranging you may have to " finesse" for accuracy. I agree with accuracy is what your after. Although, you have to deliver the round on target.
