Mostly I've been enjoying this Notos as I intended -- backyard plinking offhand at 25-35 yards. I like bench shooting, but offhand has always been, for me, the truest shooting challenge. I have a set of 3 spinners on the fenceline. The smallest is a challenge for me to hit, about 1-5/8". The other two spinners are confidence boosters, or to help verify POI hasn't changed on me.I was primarily using a Daisy 853 at 25 yards, that small spinner being roughly 6.5 moa. Felt good if I hit it a few times, I think 6 out of 10 was my best ever.Now I'm using the Notos, backed up to 33 yards, that spinner is now ~5 moa. 4-6 out of 10 is typical, and hit 8 of 10 once. Still trying for that 10/10. This is pretty much the right plinker for me -- very light, plenty precise, 70 shots on a fill, and very quiet to boot -- what I was looking for when I joined the forum. I did settle down and do more bench shooting -- almost windless still evenings -- to compare ammo types. I used to use the single-shot adapter, but now I'm using my prototype 10-shot magazine. All 3D printed, stole a spring and the basic design from an Avenger magazine. This one hasn't failed to rotate properly in 300-400 shots or so, I guess it's a winner. More ammo results, 33 yards, 5-shot groups unless otherwise noted:Daisy Precision Max Hollow Points (Spain)1-1/4" , 1-5/16", 1-5/8" (consistently unimpressive)JSB 1615/16", 5/16" (got my first sub-moa group!)CPHP 7/8", 1", 1-7/16" (not bad -- last group had one flier or it would have been 3/4")H&N FTT 5/8", 11/16", 9/16" (last group was 10 shots!) My current go-to pellet.Baracuda 187/16", 11/16" (great too!)Baracuda 151-1/2", 11/16" (has potential...)It likes a lot of pellets. More testing needed, but FTT and JSB 16 have my attention. CPHP might be a good cheap plinker too...if I limit expectations and take time to weed out the runts...

I have a couple of the CARM mags and they are great. However . . . .I can tell no difference from them and these mags I bought off of Ebay. Function the same and equal high quality — they come from Canada —Ebay item # 115874567575.
I have both an 8 round and a 10 round ebay mag for my Notos and both work flawlessly. It took about a week for the mags to arrive from Canada, and both work with low rings for my scope. ( The 10 round mag just barely clears the scope ). Nothing at all against the CARM mags, the ebay mags are just another option that is working well for me.
Everyone should have a Notos, It’s stupid accurate without even trying.
The Notos is mainly my pesting gun of choice for small quarries. I want to increase power to reach out a bit farther. Shot count is not too important to me.I'm not much of a tinkerer, but rather a fixer when I need to be. My question is:If I adjust the regulator(to increase power), what does adjusting the hammer do?
Mine doesn’t have any other choice but to like CPHP. That’s our deal if she wants to come along on outings.
