I realized the power when I received mine also. Got mine in a 25 cal for ammo cost. Basically had to turn the reg down to 120 and the power wheel down 10 clicks just to get it under 1000 fps with 33 grain pellets. Out the box it was pushing 48 grain slugs @ 900 fps. 48 is not a misprint !!! 34 grain pellets/slugs were going sub sonic. I think I will mainly use it for slug shooting because of the power. Even at 28 grain pellets flying at 980 fps, the gun was accurate @ 55 yrds. I got to have a shoot off with this gun and my 25 cal Impact, and my Hercules Bully. Should be a lot of fun between the three pushing 40 grain slugs.
These western rifles are awesome, I have a .45 .35 .30 rattler . Just recently received those and the guys a AOA did some custom ceracote on them and they are beautiful, I am sure they would send you pics if you want to see them. I also just received a 25 compact with a laminate stock on it and it’s very cool, I liked it so much I ordered a .30 compact and they are going to do a ceracote and a laminate stock on it also. I saw the gentleman’s comment about being ugly, and I couldn’t disagree more. The only thing I don’t like about the rifle is the shoulder pad, it’s not awful but I am not crazy about it. The wood or laminate stock fixes that for me. My 22 sidewinder I have had to longest and started me down the western road and I am totally hooked. Jake at AOA has helped me a bunch, but I have talked to most of the guys there and they are all knowledgeable and helpful. On another note , my favorite air rifle at this point (not in semi) is the DAYSTATE Wolverine, and I see AOA has a sale on the LIMITED Blue one at $ 1k off, that is the bargain of the year in a premium quality rifle. Thanks to the entire AOA staff for all there help!
why did you stop at 33.9 grains for .25? im guessing you can get more power with heavier pellets at .25. I always wondered why the .22 and .25 max power numbers were so close on this airgun, this makes sense now.
Good review! I like the fact that you can remove the magazine to ensure the gun is clear. That's a big concern I have with the Rattler, but hopefully they'll eventually fix that. What is the maximum slug length the mag will accept, and how far past the moderator would the 700 cc bottle protrude?
At the premium price point of this gun, it should have a match grade 2-stage trigger, IMO. Overall though, looks like a heck of a gun. Would love to have one.
Why can't you turn the regulator pressure down under pressure? The manual also says you should only turn the pressure up when the gun has pressure. I can't figure out why either of these things makes sense though.
The air pressure makes friction on the adjuster seal. In order to reduce the pressure you would have to overcome all that pressure to force it back. On the other side, increasing is low friction on the seal, so you can move it and the air pressure will increase to fill the space.
@@airgunsofarizona Ok I think I see why I wasn't understanding. When you look at a typical diagram of a regulator it shows a diaphragm with a pressure relief valve, whereas a HPA regulator uses a piston with seals, and if I understand you correctly it's those seals that can get damaged since the piston will move a bunch if you turn the pressure down.
💡The very best thing I've seen in this video is that you showed us the max speed AND the weight of the pellets that this airgun can produce, instead of just saying "this gun makes ___foot pounds" like MOST of the idiotics do!👍 I can't stand it when these nuts over here in America adopts that stupid foot pound crapp, and not say the weight and speed🤮
He didn't really tell you the max speed or fps. Believe me, I have it in 25 cal and they said the max fps was I thing was 1035 fps and I can honestly say they were holding back. Maybe because if they really said what the max fps was it would bring ATF into play. Out the box it was pushing 34 grain slugs super sonic which is why I had to turn the reg down and the power wheel down. Gun is a BEAST !!! PUSHING 48 GRAIN SLUGS @ 900 fps out of the box, so you know what it was pushing 38 grain or less at
@@Brianbri-nq3cc Yep, its a sweet ass gun. Unbelievable power. I got it in I guess full size, not the compact and it delivers. Full auto is extra just in case you were to get in a bind or need to drop more than one animal like a pack of coyotes or wild hogs.
@@anthonygillespie7233 Yes the only reason I'd be tempted to spend the amount of money that they charge for this airgun is for pure unadulterated power😂👍 There's so many people that spend big money on certain airguns just impress other men, and the airguns can't even produce the power that a lot of lower priced airguns can, and they use that sorry excuse of shooting 800 to 850fps being the best speed😵💫 The numbers that you've stated that this airgun can produce is phenomenal and that's what I'm looking for, THANKS👍🏼
@@Brianbri-nq3cc Well I don't think you would be disappointed if you are looking for power, but its also accurate as hell. I wanted something in full auto for fun and hunting purpose and it fits both narratives for myself. It's like knowing you have a jag that'll run over 160 mph but you wont run it that fast unless it was necessary. If I was up against a bear or herd of wild hogs, then that when I would cut loose on full auto.
I'm sorry, but to me, it looks so ugly. Especially with that big ol scope. I think it would look so much better with a pistol scope on it. Dot get me wrong... the full size looks amazing, but that thing just looks ugly with the barrel being shorter than the length of the bottle.
@Brianbri-nq3cc Here goes the LGBTQ. Lmao! Take that biblical bs to the pastor. Nobody wants to hear what you have to say. Why are you even looking at guns if you are so-called religious? Get the f outta here hypocrite. Also, if it looks so dang pleasing and functions so we'll where is yours? Take that shh to the church.
Love my .30 mini! ua-cam.com/video/9duInrjPxDs/v-deo.htmlsi=frxpr7fgnaYqSxUB 12 rounds at 30 yards with fx 50.2gr @ 70 fpe in opening clip on a 2 inch circle.
@ChrisFord-wh1gl thats a thing ive noticed with 99.9% of airguns they hit the nail on the head for absolutely everything except one thing and its a real shame really but nothing a bit of tuning from an experienced gunsmith cannot fix, its a real shame you have to do that but i guess with any piece of equipment you have to fit it to suit yourself and your needs
Found my next air rifle guys. Thanks for a great video.
I just got my sidewinder compact in 30 caliber and I love it ,it has so much power it ridiculous.i love everything about it and the case is great.

The Airgun reviewer of the decade. Why honesty.................
The pullpup design is gorgeous
Your analysis of the power wheel is 100% accurate💥😂👍🏽👍🏼👍🏿👍🏾👍
Can you guys make a maintenance, disassembly and O-ring replacement video like the ones for the Sk-19 please.
Thanks for the video. I always wanted to know shot count & energy for all three calibers.👍

Great review and really like this gun

Iam impressed. 🎯

He didn't mention it, so I don't think you could change caliber on that. It would have made it more interesting, though.

🤠 30 cal review would be great 👍
Does it like lightweight slugs? Like the FX hybrids?
It's basically a more compact semi/full auto FX Impact design
I really like it
300 bar is over 4000psi, which is more than scuba tanks are filled to.
How do you get a compressor that will do that?
There is alot of chinese pcp compressor that go up to 4500psi and there is one that go over 5000psi under 1000$
What's the size of the plenum ? How Many CC's ?

will a 450 tank fit this rifle.?
Eu gostaria de comprar uma dessa , quanto custa ????
E como faço pra adquirir uma dessa ????
will this kill a gopher at 50 yards ? in .22 cal ?
Yes, with power to spare.
They have a wood stock for it to make it look even better.
How bout a wood trigger. Wood is a trigger
👍👍👍👍
Im up in the air between this and fx impact 4.
Is it possible to export it to india? Is it available in .177 calibre?
Why do air guns have optics mounted a foot above the grip? Looks like more parallax than necessary.
Jos.. kang.. njalok siji lah..😢
How much its cost?
At least they have faith in their product that it can take a 300bar fill
Slugs?
Once you get use to the mag install it gets easier.
So don’t drop the magazine!
i have the air arms lsk19 loks identical to mine...odd
This is from the same designer. Just in a different company. Thanks

30-40 yard groups are more to task and the average zero for hunters
