My slugs are 22.2 grain, 23.2, 24.2 and 26 grain slugs. In .22 cal. The 24 grain were excellent even at 885fps but they shoot best at 920fps
and those are the ones you are doing with your new swage? I remember on your video you said that maybe you will capitalize on those, let me know if you have few for sale of your 24gr I want to test them vs big ol reptile

Yes, I'm am making making them. Now that I know they work I will be offering them up on eBay or you can contact me directly. They will be available next week. I will price them competitively.

They will be under the name AVS SLUGS

This is going to be awesome if they shoot well on my Liberty!

Orion, I'll be in Pensacola next week. Any tip on Shot placement if using the liberty?

I would like to shoot slugs when I am done hot rodding the liberty Stephen

Wayne52 · « **Reply #1743 on:** June 14, 2019, 05:08:14 PM »

I'll definitely buy some of those from you Stephen, the slugs that I've been casting for my other .22's work excellent in them but they're too big for my Liberty and Freedom.

For iguanas, aim to the eye, the brain is a hair behind the eye, I've never seen one surviving an eye shot yet, but I've seen walking away after a shot on the head, if moved a bit behind the brain, I'll be uploading a new video this weekend, I'm working on it, should be ready soon, and you will be able to see what I'm saying in that video.

Orion · « **Reply #1745 on:** June 14, 2019, 11:23:34 PM »

But I don't think you will find any Iguana in Pensacola, it's too far north

Stephen, I have tried several different slugs through the Liberty without much success so I will be waiting patiently for another one of your outstanding videos to be released about these slugs. Thanks as usual.

Hey Tom, Thanks. Yes just tried them again yesterday. just to confirm. A little more windy but still 1" 5 shot groups 4 more times.

green · « **Reply #1747 on:** June 15, 2019, 01:57:40 PM »

That is sweet Bro! You have my mouth watering in anticipation! Can't wait for the video to be completed. If by chance you require a product tester I will gladly volunteer, but regardless I will be standing in line when they become available. Your persistence with the Liberty is commendable Sir! Thanks again, Tom

Well I did something I bet NO body has ever done before. LOL I wanted to chrono my Liberty to see if the new washers I installed in the reg worked any better. So I took the first shot, 624 f/s. Took my next shot, 630.7? OK, last shot, 642. Now I'm shooting CPP 14.3 gr and they should be doing around 890 or so, so thinking something is definitely wrong lol. Yep, there was something wrong, I was shooting .177 10.65 gr barracudas! lol DUH!!!! In my defence the lid wasn't on the tin as I was using it to hold the grub screws form the Liberty.

avator · « **Reply #1749 on:** June 15, 2019, 04:51:53 PM »

Well look on the bright side.... you didn't shoot your chrono.

Back_Roads · « **Reply #1750 on:** June 15, 2019, 05:29:12 PM »

Next time try a sabbot on the .177 pellet

LOL It has happened to me on occasion too

Chester · « **Reply #1751 on:** June 15, 2019, 06:39:25 PM »

Those slugs sound very interesting Stephen. Put me on the list for some. I know for sure they will be field tested very well by you and your liberties. Chet

This is the first time I've had a ,22. I've always had a .177, at least since the early 90's. Well at least I'm not the only one and that makes me feel better. lol

I have been following this thread for a while and I recently bought a couple of Stormrider's and have been very, very impressed. I have been saving my bucks for a big ammo purchase and may throw in more cash to pick up a Liberty.

II this gun is everything everyone says it is, there really is no reason for me to own many of the guns I now own ... 50-60 solid shots using JSB Heavies at ~875fps or maybe Monsters around 800 fps area is just plain off the charts for me. This gun is really a crazy "Psycho Killer" POWERFUL - LARGE SHOT COUNT hunting gun. This gun is something my Condors and Careers are not because of the # of shots is far less than this gun. My other general purpose hunting guns, don't come close to the power and # of shots this gun gets. My Discos, Fortitudes, Maximus, etc, etc are all good guns, but the liberty really slings 'em.

Although the Stormrider does not have any where close to the shot count of the other guns mentioned ... it is really is no slouch in the power department .... hence the reason the last month+ it is the gun I take out on light hunting trips.

I will set back some more as I put more $ in my airgun piggy bank !!

William when I got my Freedom the hammer spring was the first thing that I backed off about a full turn. I've been using this gun a lot recently, it's a little on the heavy side compared to my Airmax Dominator but walking through the woods is very easy with the pump handle.

I really lucked out on this one for $108 shipped. I should do another chrono test in the near future to see how it's doing because I do get a little plinking in with this gun. When I keep it near the sweet spot it's extremely accurate.

Orion · « **Reply #1756 on:** June 16, 2019, 07:31:27 AM »

William,

I’m super happy with mine, but it’s important to note some pain points. (Liberty wood stock)

- After mounting the scope you will need a cheek raiser, the ergonomics of the stock is optimized for the open sights
- if you add a moderator (and I added one) it become too long
- after adding scope and bipod the gun will be heavy, I'm planning adding a sling to see if that helps while walking during the hunt
- pellet picky but good news is mine is doing great with cphp go figure!
- trigger needs work out of the box.

It looks like I dont like this rifle but it’s completely the opposite, I love this little giant. It put a smile on my face every time I shoot it. Just want to summarize the bad things given my experience so you know what to expect!

wll2506 · « **Reply #1757 on:** June 16, 2019, 01:39:34 PM »

Thank you guys for your advice, I get my "Parts Freedom" tomorrow, so maybe I will get a good one ;- )

I'm waiting on July 4th sales to see what I can come up with, I know ATI at times has sales, so I will keep an eye out. Was planning on a big 2 type pellet buy, but may just get JSB Jumbo Heavies and not Monsters. ... The heavies work very well in my guns and have enough Poop for jackrabbit size critters with many of my 25+fpe at the muzzle guns, shooting the Freedom or Liberty in the 30fpe at the muzzle range, any game "I" go after on the desert floor is toast !
