New .308 coming out …

Goes back to what I have long pointed out
prior to the Second World War the most common “deer” rifle in the upper midwest was a stinkin’ .22 RF. Even as I youngster I knew pleanty of oldtimers in the Northwoods of MN that persisted in using .25-20 & .32-20 lever guns during Deer season regardless of the law
not alot of difference between a factory load in either of those rounds and a 200 FPE .308 AG
Hell what do ya suppose .32 and .38 rim fire rifles were used for in the day? 😉

I am curious to what this new rifle will do when a variety of end users have it in their hands. I have taken a pretty much wait and see attitude but it performs, the money is right

Dont send it to Rich in Mich. He does great work, yes…. but 1000fps with the RB’s in .310 is around 100fpe.

I didnt catch what size bullet Shaggy is using, but the Corsair will produce over 200fpe with the heavy bullets….

So I’d recheck chrony numbers and if you are not getting numbers up to spec, let Randy know. No need to send this off to someone else.

Here are some numbers posted with a 3000psi fill and various bullet weights on the Corsair….

55 gr – 1040, 1104, 1096, 1051, 964 – 5 shots Highest power shot gave 148 fpe

68 gr – 969, 1037, 1036, 987, 876 – 5 shots Highest power shot gave 162 fpe

120 gr – 821, 869, 835, 779 – 4 shots Highest power shot gave 201 fpe

162 gr – 658, 766, 778, 733 – 4 shots Highest power shot gave 217 fpe

I have to add this to the post. Since I supercleaned the barell and lubed the pellets the shots seemed faster. I’ll set up the chrono later and see.

I got the crono from Pyrmid air it is the cheep one and the pellets came with the gun 125 grain all in one package. I never lubed them next try i’ll lube them and see what happens and try to get some pictures. I like that gun.

I’ll get some pictures as soon as the weather breaks.
It will do better next time I done the final clean and I’d say I’ll probably get better FPS.
I moped the barrel with a cloth mop and used clean rags to prep the barrel and I took some break free , just a little squirt and used it on a clean rag and ran it in and out of the barrel and got a lot more yucky stuff out of the barell, so the barell is clean now and I’m going to also lube the pellets, I didn’t do that last time.
That was just a pre prep.
The Best is yet to come 😀
Its a dandy little gun and light too.
I hope it holds up because it is hard to beet the way it is,. But it will be better with the Barell cleaned.
My Marauders and Condor done better after the final prep. So it’s ready, just waiting on a good day. Maybe tomorrow, I also got some batteries for the Camera while I was down the rod.

Got my 308 Today.
as I said I am a 25 to maybe 50 yard shooter.
I used a Laser Bore Slighter to set the scope and shot it on a 3 power at 25. I wanted about an Inch low, the first two shots was a little more than an inch low, being that the laser site was used I considered that Outstanding. I went up about maybe 8 to 10 clicks didn’t count them and filled the gun back to between 3100 and 3200, I didn’t have a gage in line but I refilled my tank to 3200 for each test.
I used a 80 Cubic feet scuba tank and filled it with my compressor.
I filled the Gun from the tank.
OK now at this time gun shooting and right at where i wanted it at 25 I set up my Chronograph, and here is the score you all have probably been waiting for.
First I must apologize because I didn’t write down the second shot because I was excited about the first hitting right where I wanted it, and All three shots at 25 was smaller than a Quarter, Nope I didn’t set up my Camera either no batteries, wouldn’t you know it?
Any way the First shot at between 3100 and 3200 PSI I got 610 FPS on the first shot, and the Third shot I got 542.5 FPS as stated I goofed on the second and it started Drizzling rain so i oiled the stock up and wiped the gun down and put it up.
The gun is a straight shooter Sound between a 22 long rifle and a 22 magnum shooting towards my garage, about IMO a 4 on the loudness scale, to tell the truth my Condor with out the shroud is louder., in a 25 caliber.Condor shooting a 43 grain bullet at around 900+ can’t remember .
Oh and if it has a safety on it I cant find it. It show a safety but it has a plunger sticking down, Don’t know how to use it, no instructions with it.
Over all the Gun is a steal for the money.
I hope I’m not speaking immaturely, time will tell. Now I need to order some more Pellets cause I’m keeping this gun. 😀
I might try some of those round balls, but if I do I’d just ruin the purpose for buy it. The 125 grains from adventures in airguns does just fine.
By the way does any one know if I can use regular 308 copper ballistic tips with this thing?
I’m not going to try till I get a definite answer. Thanks for reading. And if you can you need to get one of these guns, they don’t make them any more accurate than this.

I want one with the stock added, and I can send the money to the web site as soon as the gun is ready.
