Just an update - first time today using it just over a t-shirt with no top layer. Soooo well ventilated, it was basically like wearing a t-shirt when you're riding a bicycle.
Are you planning a coup and assassinating EL Presidente! 
Nice bit of kit! 
The problem with lots of power is that it can put the pellets supersonic, when that happens they tumble through the air and are much less accurate. I do have some heavy slugs to try though. The best way to do it is buy a chronograph to tune the speed of the rifle with different pellets. The bloke in the shop uses the same gun in 6.35 (7.62 is also available) and has a fancy night sight that can take videos. He's got one of him taking a head shot on a medium size boar and dropping it, he reckons his mate gets similar results with a .22 shooting slugs. I won't be trying though. shooting wildlife with air weapons is frowned upon, a rabbit fair enough, but a wounded boar wandering around would get reported and the Police will be aware I own the said rifle.
I've got an FX Dreamline but not the Tactical. I've thought about getting the tactical stock but I don't really need and I'm not sure one will be available here so haven't bothered. No power limits here so I've got a bigger plenum chamber
and have a MTC 10x 30 prismatic scope fitted. Can't you just squash them like anyone else?Pirahna wrote: ↑Sat Jun 22, 2024 2:23 pmThe problem with lots of power is that it can put the pellets supersonic, when that happens they tumble through the air and are much less accurate.

I bought the Tactical because it has a picatinny rail and I have other stuff to fit it, I don't think the stock adds anything. I can get bottles pumped to 300 bar here, mine is a 7 litre, I've no idea how long it'll last. How do you find the MTC scope? They're a bit pricey here, cheaper in the UKYambo wrote: ↑Sat Jun 22, 2024 2:45 pmI've got an FX Dreamline but not the Tactical.

It's very accurate with a lovely trigger but I have a reduced shot count with the bigger plenum and pumping up is a pain (I've got a dive bottle as well but can only get that filled to 200 bar so have to top it off with a Hills pump.
I must chrono it sometime!
A rimfire needs a license which means doing a few tests in Spanish, both written and with spoken. My Spanish is improving all the time but it's nowhere near that level. Rim fire ammo is about 20 cents a shot, pellets are cheap.

No problems bringing the scope back hand luggage? Wifey is over there in a couple of weeks but I would worry some twat at airport security wouldn't allow "firearms parts" though. It happend to a mate last year with a steel breech kit for a Crosman pistol.Yambo wrote: ↑Sat Jun 22, 2024 4:59 pm The MTC scope is brill!
I ordered it from Uttings and had it sent to a friend in UK to collect when I was over there. When I eventually opened it I found they had sent me the big brother 12x 50 prismatic scope but they only charged me for the 10 x 30. As I had time I ordered another one and that was the correct one. I brought both back to Turkey and the 12 x 50 is on my Hatsan gun and the 10 x 30 is where it was intended for, on the FX.
I could sell either or both of them of them tomorrow but I'm keeping them - the bigger one is still lighter than most regular scopes and as the Hatsan is quite a heavy beast it's a plus . I'd be reluctant to go back to a regular scope now - there's no eye relief with the prismatics, another plus for me.
Was that rescue bacon being sent to Trumps?
Tomorrow I need to drill a couple of holes in walls for the cable then Skynet (Starlink) will be ready to go. Nowhere near those sort of speeds but a lot faster than the intermittent crap I've got at the moment.
