Pete pellets too long?! are u sure this is the reason....?   Posted: Sat Nov 21, 2009 11:04 am broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands It's very well possible, that it's that picky. These rifles are constructed a bit weird. The system isn't flawless. There's been reports of wear and tear at over a 1000 shots. That's why I suggested another rifle, and I didn't know the name back hen, but you'd be better off with FX Revolution in my opinion. http://www.fxairguns.com/product.asp?id=revolution Maybe not as pretty but better constructed. Make sure you get the right pellets for this rifle. Also be carefull with lubing this thing. They can be a b!tch when to much is applied. I'd send it back, and not fool around to much with it. One mistake and with this rifle, you're screwed. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Sun Nov 22, 2009 12:02 pm Dw790 New Member Joined: 08 Nov 2009 Posts: 10 ..extreamly dissapointed..i tried the rifle power...compare it with my Webly & Scott ht rs springer... the springer was ALOT stronger ..i think im gonna head back to springers..they have more hit power....and cheaper....simple..... paid 400 $ for scuba tank 1500 $ for fx monsoon + scope... and all for nothing.... ....the Diana rws 460 magnum is only 400 $ here... made a big mistake   Posted: Sun Nov 22, 2009 5:11 pm broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands Dw790 wrote: ..i think im gonna head back to springers..they have more hit power... Dude, you just have a bad one. Don't give up that easily man. You'll come around once you had a good go with an Air Arms S400 classic FAC, and that's a promise. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Mon Nov 23, 2009 11:33 pm Mark5043 Silver Status Member Joined: 12 Apr 2009 Posts: 1379 Your going to get more fpe,and long range accuracy with a good pcp bud...I would try to exchange yours for another one,as the Monsoon should be hitting pretty hard.   Posted: Mon Nov 23, 2009 11:59 pm sniper Silver Status Member Joined: 28 Nov 2008 Posts: 3752 Location: Star, Idaho a pcp is the top of the food chain. i have several springers.

Well, I agree that you just got a "lemon"....happens to me a lot more often than to most folks, and ya never really get used to it But I also inderstand how Dw790 feels !!!! If I spent THAT kinda $$$ for something that did not work right, I'd be pi$$ed off big time, disappointed and just generally bummed out.... _________________ HEY !!

Now now, be fair Todd, you sold it for a reason! If you would have a pump or a refill station near you, would you still say that? _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Tue Nov 24, 2009 12:43 pm oddtodd Silver Status Member Joined: 30 Dec 2008 Posts: 2029 Location: Richmond, IN USA broommaster2000 wrote: oddtodd wrote: sniper wrote: a pcp is the top of the food chain. i have several springers.

Yeah I would anton. lol I don't care if somebody gave me all the side gear I still woulkdn't want one. There's just too much junk that has to go along with it. Either one quick break barrel and I can go on all day, or 40 shots out of a small easy to tote CO2 cartridge. There's just too much stuff for me to afford. I can''t see me carrying a monster tank just to fill for 20 or 30 shots. I'll never own another one. _________________ Airguns: Two starlings talking "Larry, did you hear that? Larry??

Up the ladder are some rifles with a good amount of power and over a 100 shots. _________________ BIG GAP (HELP)fxMonsoon NOT shooting semi-auto!!!     Air Gun Home Forum Index » General Air Gun Questions and Topics You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum All times are GMT - 5 Hours   Page 1 of 2   Goto page 1, 2  Next All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First  Select a forum Main Forums----------------AirGunHome Q&AGeneral Air Gun Questions and TopicsPicture GalleryTarget Shooting: Casual, Fun and CompetitionHunting, Pest Control, Varminting People/Events/Airgun Issue Discussion----------------Introduce YourselfThe BS TopicClubs/Events/Regional/Political Airgun Issues Maintenance, Modification and Reviews----------------RiflesPistolsAntique, Collector and Novelty AirgunsBB GunsPellets/AmmoOpticsAccessoriesAirgun Smithing Buy, Sell or Trade Forums----------------For SaleWant to Buy   Note: If you are seeing "Please enter your username and password to log in."
