Any US importers carrying this gun?

[Abefroman]

Also noticed tha Charlie has good deals on the Discoveries he is selling. For this rifle at first glance I liked this one

https://airgunopticsplus.com/collections/scopes/products/discovery-optics-vt-z-6-24x44-sf-side-focus-mil-dot-reticle-rifle-scope-include-signed-large-focus-wheel

I bought that scope.  I'm sending it back.  I have TWO cheap CVLife scopes off of amazon that are BETTER than that scope.   I highly recommend them.  for $40 delivered,  they are amazing.  I plan on buying more of them...  read the 1800 + reviews!   

try one....

Also, did some porting of the valve. Going to chrony it tonight with max setting and see if it can hit a bit harder. After pix and before pic.

Do you have the before/after ID's?   

[Abefroman]

I installed this picatinny rail on to the bottom of the Nova Liberty.  At first I thought it wasn't gonna fit right and I was gonna have to use some rubber spacers or something, and then I went ahead and installed it and it's awesome !!!  it has a small pin that goes through the stock strap swivel hole and then has a rubber piece and some screws.  Once installed, the only thing touching the gun is the rubber and the pin through the swivel stud.  now I can mount a bipod (also really good CVLife brand off of amazon)

check it out...


Here's the bipod I'm using.  I've bought 2 of them and really like 'em.

@Abefroman,
Thanks for sharing! Nice to know also about that CVLife

[Gertrude]

Abefroman,
I have a couple of that same Caldwell picatinny adapter. They are VERY nice and I am quite pleased with them. They are far better than the cheaper ones available on Amazon that have the large knurled round nut for tightening.
A word of advice on removing/storing the Caldwell adapter...
When removing it and storing it for later use, have a good strong/thick small zip lock bag (or something) to put it in. The little pin (that goes through the swivel stud) is very small and easy to drop and lose.

I hope you get to buy a better chrony. It's one of the needed things if you tune it.

I want a 12v compressor. I tried pumping this thing to 4k psi. That was no fun. Although refilling with a pump was not bad from 2400psi to 3800psi, only took 125+ pumps. My Young Heng is not so portable.

Also, did some porting of the valve. Going to chrony it tonight with max setting and see if it can hit a bit harder. After pix and before pic.

What did you use to made it wider and did you go deeper? Thanks

[darkcharisma]

Kzz1kaw, I used a mini mill with 3/16 and 1/8 endmill. Yes. Deep and wider with a slight angle. I might make a bigger bore valve and stem when I have time. It looks easy enough.

fuzzy, I need to take it down to measure it.

I just got one of the CV Life Bipods and attached it directly to the stud and tightened it down. It comes with a picatinny rail adapter, but I didn’t need it. It is solid. Also picked up that 6-24 x 50 CV Life scope and it’s nice for the money, just wish there was decent documentation for it.

Everyone who has one of the clamp on chrony says it’s very accurate when tested against their more expensive ones. I’ll have to test it out on some other guns and see what it’s reading.

Good to know Donny is on top of things!  I'll have to remember this if I end up needing mine any quieter!  I did the Crosman Baffle mod and that's got my .177 Liberty pretty quiet!

The only part I needed info on, since it’s a ranging reticle, is what mag setting is the correct one for target ranging. Typically, it’s 10X but their online docs arent’ specific to this scope. Thanks for the video link. I’m familiar with parallax and AO scopes but there are always more nuggets of knowledge to be gained so I’ll watch it anyway.

Well, that was fast!   It came on Saturday, vs the estimated Monday.     I was away for the weekend, but I could see it with the porch cam. 

Got home a little while ago, and noticed a good size hole in the outside/doubled box.  That turned out to be on the air pillow side, but still a small hole in the inner box.  That hole turned out to be in allen wrench tool slot area, so no shipping damage to the gun. 

My quick impressions, is like most others, very good build quality for an entry level $300 PCP.  I was concerned that the stock was going to be like the Gen 1 Mrod, but that turned out false.  It is narrower than the Gen 2 mrod in the foregrip.  Feels lighter, but haven't weighed it yet. Balances nicely in about the same area as Mrod.  The stock looks good for this price range.  Some minor things I see by the stippling, but nothing that even comes close to consider returning it for. 

A couple of minor things, degasser screw is offset forward in the stock opening, and bolt feels a bit "crunchy" just before the sear latches.  That will probably improve with use, plus some lube and adjustment. 

Gauge reads empty.  I will at least fill it to 3K today, to check for leaks.

[Back_Roads]

 Glad you are as impressed as I was Yes the crunchy's will go away after a few mags, or if so inclined give it a tear down and polish.

[Gertrude]

Fuzzy
How well does the action fit the stock ? Do you see any gap(s) between the forearm and the air tube ? Or anywhere else ?

My bolt also felt crunchy straight out of the box, but did improve with a little lube and exercise.
 Yep, degasser screw way off center here too, and stock finish has some rough and splotchy spots.

From the top, looking down, looks nice and straight without gaps.  A good fit around the barrel/shroud band.  There is a small gap at the front by the sling swivel, bottom of air tube, and at the back corners of the air tube.  A couple of minor marks in the back corners of the breech.  Nothing that would concern me.

John, if you haven't yet try the JSB 15.89 and 18.13's I think you'll like the results.

[Wheelman]

I received my .22 cal wood stock model on Friday (Feb 1st), exactly 1 week after ordering it.
Mine has the same crunchy bolt feel, offset bleed screw and blotchy finish, but overall I’m happy with it.
I was able to run some shots over the chrony today, averaged 892fps on high power and 700fps on low with CPHPs. It grouped really well, especially considering I was using the open sights.

The only negative is the windage adjustment wheel is bent and therefore not adjustable. I contacted ATI right away, they said they’d see what they could do and get back to me but I haven’t heard back yet. Hopefully they’ll be willing to send me a replacement assembly, I really don’t want to send this rifle back just for that.

I had a bent windage adjustment knob also, but I scoped the rifle, so I just took off both the front and rear iron sights and toss them in a drawer.  They are nice sights, it's a shame they come damaged.
