Got my new Huben! Woo Hoo!

[cootertwo]

Got my new Huben 22 cal from Kelly, https://krazcool.com/ And is it ever NEAT! Kelly installed a gauge on the air tube for FREE! and aired it up, and checked it out before sending it to me. Arrived still holding air, so no leaks. Loaded up some Nielson 223/36 gn slugs, and zero'd in my Monstrum FFP 3X9X40 scope. Had the power wheel wide open, and being the 69 year old kid I am, didn't wait to setup my chrono, just blasted away. No jams, or problems. Re-filled to 4000psi with my yung heng, and decided to try some JSB 18gn pellets. WOW! sounded like a 22 magnum rimfire!!!!! Turned the power wheel in a couple of turns, and back to the pellet world! Really, really neat! Got to tinker with my chrono, and get the settings dialed in, for the different ammo. Right now, with it wide open, holding a 1" group of the Nielson slugs at 20 yards. No idea what speed I'm getting, so it will no doubt get even better with some adjustments. Very well made, and Kelly packed it very well, and sent it via USPS insured. Ordered last Friday, he shipped it Monday, and it arrived today! FAST!

Congrats on the new Huben brother your going to love it, I've had one since 2015 when they first came into the states got it from Mrodair it quite working and knowing Kelly ask him if he could fix it for me he did haven't had a problem since, it'll start having tighter groups after you've run a few hundred rounds through it.

Congrats Steve, looking forward to hearing more as you break it in!  Just curious, where is the Huben K1 made?

I think they are made in Hong Kong

You are correct!  Thank you. I found their website last night while doing some research. They have a pretty nice support page with a lot of videos on how to fix thing that could go wrong. Of course the flip side of that is it also shows that there are a lot of thing that could go wrong!  LOL!

I’m going to experience the K1 through Steve for now and see how his does. Still interested, just not ready for another FORD (fix or repair daily) air gun! 

Steve, once you dial it down to the point it’s shooting sub-sonic, how loud is it?  Thanks.

Big congrats to you on your new Huben Steve !!! I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun with that gun you lucky dog you

All I can say is better stock up on ammo. I love mine. Shot it Sunday morning at pest birds and harvested around 100 birds and only missed 10. It hammers them(all you see is feathers floating in the air) and really bucks the wind. Have fun. It takes about 800-1000 rounds to settle in the reg. Enjoy it.

Paul, it's not very loud at all. I dunno if it will trip the ATN 4K pro into record or not. Really don't want to take the 4K off of my FX Wildcat 30 cal to try, but may in the future. Shot another couple of mags through it today. It's a blast. Tried a couple of 15gn JSB's, and the sonic boom is incredible! Also found another complaint of my FX chrono, it only goes up to a tad over 1000fps. Wouldn't measure the sonic boomers. I plan on tuning it down to see what groups I can get with some JSB 18gn, just for laughs. But the Nielson 36gn slugs sure hit hard. Got it's first squirrel today with it.

I've been watching some of the YouTube videos and it doesn't seem that it has any recoil, so I doubt it will activate the RAV.  Sounds like it may turn out to be a pretty nice air rifle.  Need to save some more money!  LOL!
