Hey Rick,good review. Pyramyd Air just delivered to me the same rifle, on Thursday. A total surprise, for one day delivery. I expected at least 4 or 5 days on the deliveryI haven’t shot it yet, but I love how it looks, and all the great features it has. It’s very similar to a rifle I bought last month, The Beeman mod. 1358 under lever in .22 cal. It’s3000 PSI fill,with 880 fps. And they also give a scope i the box. A Beeman scope 4x32….these guns are really bargains for their price point, and my reason for purchasing both. Just going to start the year off a little better than las year..lol when I bought the ZEUS.72 CAL. From AEA, which turned out to be a complete BUST. I hadn’t even shot 50 rounds and the gun died. It just won’t fill with air, and they won’t fix it. Then to make things worse,…lol I have to laugh at myself, but I turned around in May 2022,and bought another AEA gun while I kept trying to get the other one fixed. I bought their .30cal. AEA HP Carbine, and it totally died, won’t shoot at all. And again, AEA won’t fix it.. sooo, here’s hoping these two guns will stand up to the test. I guess I’ll see in a few months..Well enough complaining, keep up the good work, these videos really help us, and we shooters depend on you guys to give it to us without any Fluff…😊
I understand. I bough a AEA challenger 357. Not even 200 shots in and the thing blew up in my face. I ended up researching and this has happened to a good many challenger owners and they refused to fix it. So I’m definitely probably never buying a AEA gun again.
i think if you want the extra shots and the consistent pressure shots go for the max and whats cool with the non regulated ones is you can adjust the power one thing is tho is you have to find its sweet spot one other thing about the unregulated is you have to spend some more time with it and learn the gun and when the bullets velocity starts to drop as that air pressure goes down me personally im shooting for the max i love the stock and the adjustable cheek piece and the regulator i like to get those extra shots hope this helped you out
Great work Rick! Surprisingly different pellets than it's cousin the DAR. Do you think the barrel could use to be de-burred and polished? I wonder what your barrel bore camera would show you? Maybe a little love in that way would help make it a better shooting (aka 100 yd) rifle?
Thanks, Rick. An airgun dealer told me the airacuda max and the base airacuda both put out the same power. If that's true the only reason not to go with the max is the $100 cost diff?
hello Rick Do you think Shimming the barrel to the breech & bedding the stock could help repeatability of accuracy? I did this to my Redwolf s and it helped a considerable amount.
Hey there Ben. Anything that improves stock will work. What we need to do is have you come out to the ranch and do it on camera and then we test before and after. Cheers AGW
The reg is set to 150 bar - 2175 psi (stated bar in the video, many bar to psi calcs online). 45 fpe is above average for this class pcp. 55 to 60+ is where the more expensive bigger guns play. This is more than fine for the model and price point. Cheers AGW
You can't find higher quality at that price.
SOLID!
Can't wait when you are going to get into the rifle especially cleaning the barrel. Thanks Rick great work 👍🏻

i think a good barrel polish with jb bore paste and then some flitz would tighten up the groups a bit
I have the standard and I love it.....
Still can't decide between Standard and Max. I will have one.

Good review.
Please do the adjustment videos for this rifle. Thank you!
Compared to the air venturi avenger witch one to choose

this gun or the marauder what do you think?
Nice shooter
slow down let the reg refresh partner
Thanks, Rick. An airgun dealer told me the airacuda max and the base airacuda both put out the same power. If that's true the only reason not to go with the max is the $100 cost diff?
Can you show me how to clean the barrel on the JTS aracuda Max 25 Cal
Sure. We’ll set a video for it.
Cheers

@@AirGunWeb thank you so much

Would single loading help accuracy?
It has not helped in my testing to date. But, that would make for a good video.
Cheers

Single loading has always helped my groups and if not,takes away one more variable anyway.

They are saying the jts airacuda max in30 caliber will be backordered for 3 month as of 7/30/2024
👍🏼
Is JTS part of Jefferson State Airguns?
No. JTS is a new company. Xisico is the parent company.
Cheers

Rick still a nice PCP
What's the Factory Reg set at 2100 1900 Seems like no power !!

With right conditions I can shoot better groups at 50 yards with my weihrauch's 95 models in .22cal.
Can you shoot 4 10 round mags before refilling?
If it ain't pushing at least 200fpe it ain't for me.
