Is there a slot for the power adjuster - on the Other side? Where the markings are? Maybe a flathead screwdriver would make turning the adjustment up and down a bit easier?

Can't verify, for some reason mine STILL ain't here...

IIRC the slot on other side of knob is very shallow and just used to indicate with the scale where it's set at. IT's NOT a SCREW DRIVER SLOT !

Definitely not a slot for a screwdriver... Just an indicator.

Scott (Motorhead) and Scott (HoosierDaddy), so noted. Thanks! I would not have been forced to ask such a dumb question if I already had mine...

No dumb questions!!!!

So, I will just say... A Kratos is a Pellet eating machine!
With two 12 shot mags... and a 500cc Bottle. I burnt though a half a 500 count tin sitting in my back yard today.

She is shooting spot on at 50y from 3000psi down to 1000! With 4 refills, I am gonna have a "kink" in my neck tomorrow!

Scott, I know you are on the bottle (

) yet my Akela will only be 280cc, but are all these shots from 3000psi down to 1000psi with your power setting still at midpoint?

Here's another nine shots on video with mine.

Yep, right at the mid point

My Akeela should be here tomorrow! I don't know if I have seen it mentioned anywhere and without rereading everything... Do these guns come with SSTs?

Thanks

Ray, that's a good question. I ran a Google search just now and no mention of any single shot tray...

I was just speaking to a guy at work about 3D printing one.
If we move forward with it I will share the file on the 3D Gate

I’ve been having some fun today running through a tin of CPHP’s from the shade of my deck... shooting from a Bog Deathgrip for now until I can build a permanent bench. I’m really loving the Deathgrip, why did I hesitate so long on that handy item?!? 🤪 I am looking forward to bringing this thing ATV camping on my next trip out in the Sierra Nevada high desert!

mrbulk · « **Reply #252 on:** September 04, 2020, 08:48:56 PM »

Nice group Dave! Never heard of Deathgrip. I use a Stinger now on a MTM Folding shooting table but like the idea of a single unit providing all the support.
Hey, don’t shoot your bbq!

Hangtown-Shooter · « **Reply #253 on:** September 04, 2020, 09:26:09 PM »

Yes sir! Gotta watch out for the Weber!

Hard to tell from my crappy phone pics, but I do have a few feet of clearance there.

It was too hot to bust out the Chrony today so I figured I would do a (unscientific/non-reproducible) shot-count test haha! I went through 6 full 12rnd mags from a 3k fill down to 1.6k for 72 shot total using 14.3gr CPHP’s with my power setting adjusted ever-so-slightly beyond the half-power mark... from my gun that equates close to 875fps average which works out to be around 24 ft lbs-ish... the targets are only approximately 30 yards out, but I am confident this gun is capable of doing much better with some practice on my end (or maybe someone else behind the trigger?!) 🤣?

In this photo I used the lowest target first for 2 full mags (24 shots) and then worked my way up the targets 2 mags each. Still could have squeezed out another mag possibly!

The black “10 ring” is 1” diameter on these sticky targets in case you are wondering 👍🏻 Either way they may run, I’d say that is minute of pest-rodent 😵

mrbulk · « **Reply #254 on:** September 05, 2020, 01:16:30 AM »

Dave those three single-ragged-hole groups look awesome.

Also the 72-shot count at about half-power with maybe another mag to go? Efficient gun! Might probably be even a bit More efficient with heavier pellets as well. Liking these Turkish more and more!

Tom Gaylord has Part I up on the Airgun Academy blog for the Benjamin Cayden...

Hoosier Daddy · « **Reply #256 on:** September 23, 2020, 08:01:44 PM »

Link?

For the first time in my "Airgun History" I bet I have more pellets shot of a certain gun format than the "God-Father".
Would love to read his impression.

I'm new here, can't link or share pictures yet...

It's on the Pyramyd Air Airgun Academy blog, or google "Benjamin Cayden" and limit results to only this week. It's only an introduction to the Cayden, whenever Part 2 comes that is what will have more of the impressions.

And since I'm here.... I got my Cayden in late last week, my first PCP and air rifle in a LOOOONG time. This thread helped me feel good in going with it.

I currently have a Meprolight M21 reflex sight [ring & dot reticle version] mounted to it (temporary until the scope I want for it becomes available again) and the DonnyFL Tanto 'moderator' should be in before 8pm tonight according to FedEx. Haven't shot it yet due to weather and work schedule, but did dry fire it to get the pressure down to 300bar from it's higher as shipped pressure... which is why I wanted to get moderator for it.. was a bit too loud with no hearing protection and had that sharp edge to the sound. The Tanto should be enough for it. I do very much like the trigger feel of it... not as nice as my Savage .308 Win with Accutrigger, but still very nice light trigger with minimal creep. Looking forward to getting some time with it this weekend.
