I love your channel, you are a straight shooter (pan?) with good information and no bullshit approach. Thanks for your hard work to bring us air gunners the relevant info on products.
do you find this to be accurate, My experience owning a Zelos since 9/2024. The rifle I own shoots good at 50 Yards. I get about 30 shots per fill in .25 Caliber. It's quiet without a moderator. This Rifle I own shoots 34gr slugs good at about 850 fps and 28gr pellets at about 930 fps reg maxed out at 2000 psi. (but reg gauge says like 2200 or 2300 psi and the tank gauges says 2000 when equal). It holds air pressure and it’s nice looking. The barrel is a "heavy gauge" fully rifled. If you put a moderator on it make sure it’s a very light design like a Buck Rail, Impulse Air or it will pull barrel down really affecting point of impact. The barrel moves with fingertip pressure, attachment point of the outer shroud is not ridged to the valve body, there is about a 1/16" gap that allows movement which affects barrel, so don’t drop it or have it slide down when leaned on a wall "ever". When a bipod is attached to picatinny rail on air tank, air tank unscrews as to try to manipulate the rifle around, trigger guard with rail is a must to get off air tank. The trigger is long and misleading out of box, I adjusted it to max sensitivity (the sear adjustment was all the way backed out, out of box) and tightened up and it's a bit better, 14 screws to get to trigger adjustments (no danger of breaking anything), there are two adjustments. The magazine pushes out easy between cocking. The outer barrel shroud and end nut threads off easy. The actual barrel ends like 4 or 5 inches inside the shroud then there is a 1” diameter void the rest of the way with .30 outlet hole at end nut. With a moderator (Yokozuna on it) point of impact changed at 25 yards, was approx. was 2" lower and was a 1/2" group. The butt stock adjustment is difficult to slide up and down. The air fill protector cap is plastic with plastic clips holding it on. Has fixed max power setting on reg at 2000 psi or 138 bar maximum, the rifle can be tuned by lowering it down to 1000 psi or 69 bar. Seems like every time you pick up the rifle something spins or moves. I find that a Bog Pod Death Grip style rest not recommended for this rifle and best to store flat in a case when not in use.
Hi, I subscribed today, nice video / presentation. I kinda agree with another comment that you would be better off lowering the reg pressure, get your pellet speed 880 to 900, and your shot count would increase. Keep up the good work.
Nice Zack. I been looking forward to this second review 👍. Nice shooting and that seems very quiet for a for a 25 caliber and the fpe. I'm on a phone but it doesn't seem to have a moderator on it? Anyway take care
Nice shooting! Mainly Dime sized groups, Thanks for sharing! With the power it is putting out, how far in yards do you expect this air rifle to maintain accurate groups? The M60 version has had problems with the aluminum cocking handle bending to the point one broke. Does this version seem to be made heavier?
@@WalnutandSteel one person said they were getting 50 shots in 25. Smaller calibers will get more shots than larger calibers but now that I have installed a 500cc bottle I get 80 shots.
I had to lower the regulator pressure on my 30 caliber it was just wasting air it didn't need that much regulator pressure to achieve the same amount of speed
I actually just went to do that and unscrewed the tube (shouldn't have done that) and split the o-ring screwing it back on. Now I have to figure out the size of it. LOL
I will have to lower my regulator pressure on my 30 cal, my shot count was dismal. It is set at 200 bar. My FPS was 856 average for the first magazine, then it fell off quickly.
Is this the same gun as the M60B? They look the same to me and I've been wondering. When he says "they've been out there a while under a different name as you know so they've been well tested" it makes me think they are the same gun.
so i will try nt to detract from that air rifle. your video was great, wish i could make ones as good. but i think even my avenger rifle is better for me, but really i have an airgun as good, it is my aea hp standard custom edition. it shoots 47gr hollowpoints at 951fps pretty consistently with a regulater for 30 shots, and slowly drops off from there for 50 shots total, but that was before i put the 500cc tank on it. i really do not know how many shots it gets now, but i do know it gets at least 24 all within 20fps of oone another even with the regulater taken out of it. and i am pretty sure it will get way more than 50 shots now with a 500cc instead of a 350cc tank. and it has 15 shot extended mags so the zealous got me beat there. and your zealous has a side leaver right, i have a 3" bolt handle that is so smooth that it runs almost as fast as a semi auto does. and at 73fpe for half its shots. at a 3600psi fill. it self regulates, at a 4500psi fill it is a train chugging uphill and then back down the other side of a mountain. accurate as hell in any case. but i sure wish i could see to make videos like yours. and be able to edit two cameras together into a stream. but i have been blind the last 13 years so do not know if this old dog can learn those new tricks. that seems a good gun for plinking. but would not work for most of what i would be hunting. like cyote, and medium sized hog.
@@theshooterszone my fault, I went back to the beginning to see if you had mentioned it. I received my M60B in 30 from Krale on Monday and have put maybe 8 magazines through it, mainly at 30 Yards.

nice! just got my Zelos and so far I like it a lot!
That is a cool little gun. I can’t wait to see what a gen 2 will be capable of
Thanks Again for the time and another great vid
Had my zelos for 4weeks now. Great airgun very accurate.

Nice zak pushing those pellets fast
My M60B in 25 caliber only came with one mag so I got bought 3 more . 18 rounds in 25 .

@@kurtthomas4746 Hello, I usually do reviews within 2-3 videos and in the most recent I did lower it to 880fps with the 25.39. Glad you're here.
@@theshooterszone perfect, I’ll get caught up. I just ordered the snow peak version, wanted the bigger bottle.
Great video thank you 👍

It should be good for 100yrds with a good shooter. Mine was a little hard to cock so lubed all the pivot points and now its fine.
I am seeing 25-30 shots on reg. maybe another half a mag of useable shots below the reg,
@@WalnutandSteel one person said they were getting 50 shots in 25. Smaller calibers will get more shots than larger calibers but now that I have installed a 500cc bottle I get 80 shots.
mine is a 22. I will eventually upgrade to a bottle I am sure.

@@lws2 I think one mag is what you get with these.
Reg and hammer spring are to high for 25.39 pellets. The tune on that gun is for 33.95 gr. I would drop both.
Seems like you came off the regulator 21xx-ish. That would explain the shot count. What was his pellet weight and speed?

Did you by any chance know what FPE you get with the reg at 1500?

@@theshooterszonethank you again. Found it and watched it.
What brand of bipod are you using on that Zelos, friend?
@@domingoliao2724 generic from Amazon
@@theshooterszone Whats’the brand! that looks like a high end copy I’m interested to buy one!
@@domingoliao2724 unbranded sold by several companies. If you do a search for rifle bipods it will come up.
@@theshooterszone Thank you!
I think ima set mine at 1850 to see how many shots I can get..
so i will try nt to detract from that air rifle. your video was great, wish i could make ones as good.
but i think even my avenger rifle is better for me, but really i have an airgun as good, it is my aea hp standard custom edition.
it shoots 47gr hollowpoints at 951fps pretty consistently with a regulater for 30 shots, and slowly drops off from there for 50 shots total, but that was before i put the 500cc tank on it.
i really do not know how many shots it gets now, but i do know it gets at least 24 all within 20fps of oone another even with the regulater taken out of it.
and i am pretty sure it will get way more than 50 shots now with a 500cc instead of a 350cc tank. and it has 15 shot extended mags so the zealous got me beat there.
and your zealous has a side leaver right, i have a 3" bolt handle that is so smooth that it runs almost as fast as a semi auto does.
and at 73fpe for half its shots.
at a 3600psi fill. it self regulates, at a 4500psi fill it is a train chugging uphill and then back down the other side of a mountain. accurate as hell in any case.
but i sure wish i could see to make videos like yours. and be able to edit two cameras together into a stream.
but i have been blind the last 13 years so do not know if this old dog can learn those new tricks.
that seems a good gun for plinking. but would not work for most of what i would be hunting. like cyote, and medium sized hog.
