Those need some spray paint camo…just sayin
I’ve thought about it. I’ve been stacking crows lately with the L2, maybe I would get a few more with it camo…I’ve had good luck with duracoat on a few other pieces. Once you paint one then the resale is tougher in my experience. Not that I want to sell any, I bought them because I wanted them. I’m waiting for my Huben GK1. It shipped today from Huben Spain, can’t wait!!

Is there after market Moderators for these EVOL guns that are more quiet 🤫 I realize the mini at 10” barrel will always be a bit more loud but looking to see if there is something ? Thanks

I bought mine used (Evol) but it’s a Donnyfl mod that was on it when I got it. Order the next caliber higher (manufacturer’s recommendation) as I experienced poi shift do to pellet clipping and had to drill out the end cap with the next size number drill. I expect that’s why the last owner got rid of it but it was my gain because I got the piece very reasonably priced with lots of extras. Not sure if it is quieter with the aftermarket vs the factory though.

Cool thanks

I think it’s similar to my DD MK18 SBR can or no can it’s just a louder platform


If I want quiet I’ll get another style maybe an Avenge X .25 cal with Donny FL

My old avenger .22 with Donny FL FX mod was really quiet 🤫
 
I got it you buy this adapter and any Donny fl and it will def quiet it downView attachment 8256427
This is the one I have, also has a thread protector. It’s still pretty noisy, enough that a crow I shot at at 134 yards matrixed the pellet since the sound got there a little bit earlier than the pellet. At 75 and under they don’t have a chance. These crows around the farm are getting educated after they keep seeing their buddies get taken out…

Yeah but it’s gonna be more quiet than the factory mod I have just did about an hour of research 🧐 so at least it’s an imporovement
 
I agree with that. Mine broke, the insides when I tried it, it lasted like 5 shots and then crumbled. It was louder than the shogun is quieter and had less “ping” I guess.

Sorry to the OP for veering of course of the original thread topic.

Looks like a custom made stock. I remember GinB was a maker a while ago that made some great stocks. Many people that shot field target at the time had those stocks.

That Ripley is a stunning rifle!
 
AirArms TX200 in .177 , Leupold scope.
Longest crow kills are 60 yards.

The British and the Germans make superb springer Air Rifles. I have both the Pro Sport and TX200 in 22 cal with Walnut stocks. They are designed and built in the same manner as high end European Fine Powder Burner Rifles.

I prefer springers for simplicity and no need for a compressor or air tanks. They are more of a challenge to shoot accurately than a PCP gun.
Prior to the TX200 I had an RWS 48 in .22. It was a hard hitting rifle but I could never get consistent accuracy with it after various mounts and optic changes.

I have the Diana 54 Air King. Its very powerful and accurate. A coyote killer. Its a step up from the 48. It has the sliding chassis that moves under recoil. Makes for a more accurate shot.

I thought about getting the 54 but decided against it. I read that it has problems with extreme uphill and downhill shots because of the sliding chassis.

Have you experienced any issues at extreme shooting angles?

Not yet. I did kill a coyote shooting downhill. Whether it was extreme or not. Who knows. It was a head shot. It wasn't vertical. It was at an angle.
