I did a couple chrony strings with my Xisico Sentry I bought from FDAR

[Zeddymon]

Wayne= Your a lucky man to have state land right out you door. Yes i am in suburbia so silence when i shoot in my yard is my number one goal. I know i can find a moderator  to fit. I was just wondering how much of a pita the factory one is to remove.

it is a pita to remove, hard factory press so they can't be removed from barrel, i did it to one of mine, its really barks now but is much shorter than the air tube, i will never get it back on and now i need to re-do a shroud set up for it or hope mike comes up with another barrel

sidelever and bolt action have slightly different barrels by length, bolt one will not slide in fully into sidelever

[Wayne52]

Zed that is a bummer that it's press fit on on barrel, I guess the LDC thing is pretty much out of the question then

[pat585]

Zed= That's what i was afraid of.  Did you eventually get it off with heat? Could someone tell me the O.D. of the barrel. Donny fl makes slip on adapters in 10,11,12,14, and 15 mm . I have used one before & they work.

.22 barrel OD is .545 in  seems enough meat to thread for adapter,  lets not talk about how i got it off it wasn't pretty, just good enough to not damage barrel,  did size a tube to fit over the old shroud for temporary use

[Zeddymon]

here is what it looks like.......i did a custom stock to convince the boys at Xisico they should have some stock options available for a more traditional look

[pat585]

Zed= Thank you for the info. I'll have to see what i can come up with.I like your blond stock as opposed to the dark stain they come with. I also had a hard time getting one of those press on moderators off. With the barrel in a padded vice i heated it with map gas & had a pipe wrench on the moderator & it wouldn't budge. I finally put the barrel vertical in the vice and put some penetrating oil in the moderator & the next day it broke free.

After reading this thread I started looking into those REX scopes.  Does anyone know the weight of the REX 3-12x40SFB? I cant seem to find that info anywhere.

[Wayne52]

I have one but I hate taking it off my gun because it's sighted in perfect.  I looked the paperwork over closely and the box too but there's no weight anywhere.  It's no where near as big as the Rex 4-16x which is probably 23 oz's, my Ohaus scale maxes at 22 oz's and I was just about to release it on the scale when it went over 22.  The Rex scope is not made for a break barrel though but I actually had my gun leaning on a tree, it fell and the scope  was still right on the money.  I was really worried about it so I looked everything over real close to make sure everything was ok.

[Wayne52]

I was doing a search trying to find the weight of these Rex scopes  a guy said that the Rex scopes are actually Schmidt and Bender or Swarovski brand that have minor flaws or cosmetic damage and can't be sold at a regular cost of $1600-$2200.  He said that REX actually stands for Reconditioned, Extremely X-pensive

[Warburrito]

That's wild! Thanks for searching for the info.

that is right wayne,......i have never seen issues with the glass or reticles, mostly they are built to the same quality as sample batches for the makers, who then make changes to their liking before they get a stamp of approval

Pretty darned cool to be able to buy a scope at the REX price rather than blow a wad on a really expensive scope

That guy who said that stated he was being sarcastic in his next post.

From B.B Pelletier

"Rex scopes
Pyramyd Air has added the Rex line of scopes to its scope line. These optics come from the same people who bring you the BAM air rifles; (China) and from first examination, they appear to be just as well made. Today, I’ll take a look at the 10-40×50........"

[Zeddymon]

yeah the acronym meaning is a joke, but the principle remains they are made for "brands" i don't know which currently, they are high quality, just tighten your screws, i have lost a focus screw and have had a turrent screw slip past on adjustment, just needed to be tighter

[Wayne52]

I did another chronograph pic/string with my .22 Sentry 705-2 this morning, this will be probably the last one that I do until I modify the gun which might not be too far down the road because with these guns I doubt very much whether I'll ever need to get warranty work done on this gun.  They're really built very well and I'd be willing to bet that Mike gets very little warranty work in comparison to a lot of other pcp's that end up needing it.  I sure am glad I made the decision to buy this gun because I'll more than likely be shooting it a lot this year.

Does Huma make a regulator for these guns Having a regulator in one would help considerably for the loudness IMO, I'd probably regulate the .25 to about 2200 to 2300 psi, I think you'd have good energy at those pressures once you had the ports opened up some more, the baffles in the permanent moderator would probably be sufficient enough to quiet it down.  You could also back off on the hammer as well at those pressures and probably not be using as much air per usable shot.

I was out shooting the prototype today shooting some slugs that I cast and sized up this morning and I was very surprised and happy with the results, even with that little Bugbuster that I have on it it was giving me some very good accuracy, I'm convinced that opening up the ports another .020 is a must so this gun is more adept for shooting the 35.3 grainers that I cast up this morning, the weight of them is very consistent with not very much variation in the weight.  I'm going to do another couple casting sessions of the BBT's  very soon knowing what I know now.

lane makes a reg for it, and huma

[gendoc]

i removed that plastic thing on the muzzle and had all but one barrel port closed and had the lead-in done, as there was none before......
 also cut, threaded and crowned the muzzle for a Rocker1 LDC.

different gun now !!
stability at high speed, 1000fpe with 14.3gr cpd eight touching at 35yrds.
no matter what some folks say about ".22's cant run over 925 accurately"
this one does very well.

yep, it would be nice if there was a traditional stock available for the gun.

as for the rex scopes......i have a 30mm 3-12x40 SF that sits in its box, and can be had for the right price 

[Wayne52]

John that is a big improvement over the stock LDC and I'm sure that it's much quieter as well.  I'll bet that the 217 BBT hollow points would shoot really good from that gun the way that it is right now.  I'll be trying them soon in my .22 also and I'll let y'all know how good they work from it.

Lots of info online about the 702 sentry but not to much on the 705? From what i have read the 705 has a longer barrel,longer air tube & the side lever. I haven't read any bad reviews about these guns so that's good. BTW i see that HUMA now has a reg for the sentry.

I was the one that worked with huma to develop a regulator for the sentry two years ago in my you tube video
