All week a the RANGE! That's a good week. [2025-04-21]

(1/1)

GTA-Airgunner:
Good monring Airgunners!

I hope everyone had a great weekend.  We had a bunch of folks out to the ranch which was awesome.  And I got to spend some time down at the range testing Haji's Umarex Gauntlet Conversion, the Benjamin Bulldog M257, and some other guns that I've not shot in a while.  We are also working with the Benjamin Recharge compressor.  More on that next.

I shot a setup and fill testing video with the Benamin Recharge.  I expect that video will be out this week. The short answer is that's a pretty beefy unit, coming in at nearly 50 pounds dry.  So, add the water and oil, and I bet it's over 50 pounds.  The cooling system maintains about 70 °C under load, which was impressive.  It filled my 100ci pony bottle from 0 to 4500 in about 16 to 17 minutes. That's pretty good for sure.  So topping off big bore guns or other guns that burn through a lot of air, should not be a problem at all.  I need a 6.8L (74 CF) tank to test fill times there, but I need to save some money before I can pull the trigger on that.  I'll also reach out to Benjamin to see if they can send me one of theirs.  We'll see.

On a final note, I want to thank all the members that have reached out about some of the changes and potential changes in the future.  Your input is vital, and I really appreciate it.  We are going to continue with the basic reorginiztion for now and let things settle out.

Thanks again for being part of the GTA!

Cheers
Rick
