Auckland Based Air Gunner

I am considering Gamo Magnum as well, 1300fps with lead pellets. I just learned that 1300fps is too high that too much air behind the flying pellet. 700-900fps is the sweet range. To slow down, may need some .22 pellets over 30grain to be as accurate as whisper replay series?

That's some great info "mercs", thank you very much.

thax forthat was just interested in what you have done to what was allready quite a powerful rifle depending on what type chrono system you use its possible to get false readings depending on how close the light screens are to the muzzle so as you say it proberly picked up residue coming out barrel,these are rather powerful rifles to begin with and they certainly like the heavier pellets best because they produce velocitys high enuf to use heavy pellets effectivly,they very close in velocity and power to many pcps,i am looking at getting the g magnum 1250 10x mag feed rifles  as an upgrade for my old shadow rifle,i been a pcp man for 20 years but these new gas ram repeating rifles got me intersted in break barrel rifles again,so was good to read your post as anything that can improve a rifle is allways of interest.

i would be interested to know as well just how you managed to get 1800plus from that rifle as nunga said thats 100fpe and rimfire territory,i have owned 22 pcps that put out 100plus fpe with 40gr lead bullets and there are a few 22 cal pcps that can doso today,but have never heard of gas ram rifle being capable of doing so before,not saying cant be done,just never heard of anyone doing so before,so like nunga would be interested in how you did so.

What sort of tuning did you do to get 1840fps!!!!? 

Welcome from Stratford, pest control a great help for native species so good hunting.

I saw on youtube 4000psi getting put into a large pcp rifle. You would want to have decent fittings at that pressure, pretty dangerous.

airguns today have become very sophisicated,they very different to airguns 20/30 years ago,the really good ones are fully the eqaul in accurracy to match grade firearms,with the possible exception of chamois and tarr there is nothing in nz you cant effectively hunt with some form of airgun,if target shootings your interest,its just as hard and fun with airguns as it is with firearms,airguns can be legally shot in your back yard as long as its safe and dosnt annoy your neighbours if in town,there is a lot airguns can be used for that you cant do with firearms safely or legally and for those who like tinkering with their guns there is a lot you can do to improve,modify,customise,or evan build with airguns today,plenty to keep you intersted and busy as we today live in the golden age of airguns because airguns have come of age as a serious form of hunting and target shooting gun,welcome to forum.
