Just dropped $130+ bucks on a Tactical stock for the AT44 Long QE .25

The AT44 .25 Long QE with the new Tactical Stock, FX No Limit Rings, and the UTG 4X16X44 SWAT Scope.

Stay away from Gamo Rifle Scopes. They don't hold up on their own IGT rifles.

I'd like to get the Caldwell FieldPod with the Chair built into it. That would be perfect to use for predator hunting. But I'd have to use a 5.56 round instead of my Air guns.

I have the Caldwell Magnum FieldPod but it's heavy at 13 lbs and too bulky to lug around in the field very far.

The chair pod has a way where you can put it on your back and carry it like a pack. That might work for me.

As a general rule?
None of the included scopes with any Air Gun is worth the materials they are made of.

Newest Air Gun for my collection.
.357 Big Bore

Aktungbby · 11-08-16, 07:29 PM

VERY COOL!

HatsanUSA, the main importer for all Turkish AirGuns, is moving to Rodgers, Arkansas.

Now that is home base to Daisy Air Guns which is now owned by Gamo.
I'm thinking there's more to this move.

Tacticals from .177 to .357

Just picked up a 1948 Rochester .22 pump air gun.

Jeff-Groves · 04-13-17, 03:44 PM

Let's look at how to charge a High Pressure Air Gun.

1. Buy a Scuba tank for a fill pressure of 3000 PSI.
2. Buy a SCBA tank for a fill pressure of 4500 PSI.

Now you'll need to take those to some place to get them filled.

3. Let's use a Hand pump at roughly $200 U.S. bucks.
4. Let's use a High Pressure Air Compressor at $1299 U.S. bucks.

Here's a hand pump.

I have a couple but finally dropped the cash for this.

Been awhile since I did some up dating here.
The best I've seen is a 3/4 mile kill shot with a .357 cal airgun!
It had enough FPE on target to blow through a garbage can lid!
(FPE is Foot Pounds of Energy)

I'm currently trading and selling parts and Guns to build something that will do 1/2 mile shots. Not sure what cal yet.
Gonna talk it over with my AG Engineer.

Been awhile since I up dated this thread. So I got a really interesting thing to talk about. My newest Air Gun.

Edgar Brothers XVI which is still not here!
Now you over the pond people may say "What's so special about that?"

Well, They were NEVER imported to the Colonies to start with.
So getting one here is like hitting the Lottery or trapping the Easter Bunny!

It's easier to find a good Rochester Precision Arms Air Gun (Which only saw production for 1 maybe 2 years back in the 50's. Yes. I have one!)

I traded a couple nice Hatsan PCP Rifles for this Frankenstein build.
I say that because it was build by parts and pieces shipped into the Colonies somehow and ended up in the hands of a very good Air GunSmith.
He attempted to improve it from the limits imposed by UK laws but the design will only allow so much power. It's still over what is legal in the UK!

It will never be able to reach the FAC of the Logun S-16xs which was imported into the Colonies for a very short time.

Checking the USPS tracking? I hope it arrives tomorrow!
I have a nice UTG 3-12 SWAT scope waiting for it!

Oh dear, all those years without. Looks like I have some catching up to do!

We will be happy to assist you on your way into the rabbit hole!

Back to the EB XVI. This Air Gun was a follow over from the Logun S-16 AGs.

Depending on what reviews you read? It was junk or potential Gold.
Given that they are no longer produced? Nor found in the Colonies?
I say Gold. It's always nice to go to a big AG meet with a rare Gun.

Over the years many of the issues have been solved by fans of the Gun so I look forward to this one as I have been looking for a Field Target Gun.

Most of my collection is over power for FT. This Gun can easily be modified to drop power to the UK standards for FT. The large air tank would give me a crazy shot count so would not need to recharge it. Plus it has a regulator on it giving me the same amount or air for each shot! (The regulator was an add-on)
