When we needed him most...he returned.
Absolutely! And with a great new product I can afford. Good thing I’m not an incel like John boy down here.
@josephrockey2000 oh I'm so hurt some dorks trying to insult me. The comment was pathetic.
@johnm3907 Thats called irony. When the virgin who posts "rare video game reloads" on his channel (thats you) calls someone a dork. Hahaha
@joemo1033 oh I'm so hurt! Get a life you weirdo. Having a good look at my page, you a bit of a stalker eh?
@joemo1033 when we needed him most he returned. Jesus christ man are you not embarrassed saying something like that? Are you trying to get ted to like your comment? Is your life that sad?
I got seriously sick years ago. I was bed ridden for a long time. Bored out of my brain, I decided to watch some KZhead videos. I found your channel. You helped me through a bad time. Thank you!
why did you wait years to comment this?
Well…here we are 12+ years later…still watching Ted vids lol.
Funny I was going to say the same thing. I started watching in early 2012....still here
And still playing with bb guns😂😂😂😂
Started watching his vids when I was in middle school, I graduate college in May.
You sold me YEARS ago on the Benjamin Discovery, I added a tko22 can and a 2nd barrel band and shot 20k pellets through it.. eventually it was stolen out of my truck, but until that happened, it was my absolute go to for pests. Hundreds, maybe even thousands of sparrows and starlings met their demise thanks to that setup 😏 now I have several pcps, but I'll never forget my first. Thank you Ted, you really opened the door in a big way for many people. Keep up the awesome work!
No Ted, Thank you!! For sticking with us. Just keep doing what you do best, one of the best arigun content on KZhead.
Man it's good to see you making content Ted. Hope you are doing well.
There is nothing out there like a Teds HoldOver video. Always something to learn. Best AIrGunTuber!
Ted I remember your maurader videos from way back. There is no telling how many air gun enthusiasts you have unknowingly influenced but I know one…Me! Thanks I think! Lol. Great gun and video btw.
Count me in that group too. I’d say Ted is responsible for the sale of thousands of marauders.
Thumbnail looks like your video with the Benjamin ~14 years ago that got me into this sport/channel. From the woods of northern Michigan 👍👊🇺🇸🤘
No place beats Michigan in the summer.
The JTS Airacuda, DAR gen 3 and Barra 1100z are all like updated Benjamin Marauders for cheaper.
Usually I would listen to your expert advice Ted.. but I know that this Airacuda as fine a PCP as it is.. still does NOT beat the Air Venturi Avenger in performance or price! Air Venturi Avenger is still the King of the Budget PCP's!
I was sold years ago from teds shooting with the edguns and early FX. Bought myself a marauder in .25 cal. That led to me owning numerous other pcp rifles over the past 10 years and now the younger members of my family shoot my near 15 year old upgraded, regulated and customized marauder. Fun hobby for the whole family. I own 2 large safe full of powder burners but… I always come back to airguns. Shoot right in your back yard and keeps your marksmanship sharp all year. Keep up the videos Ted. Always enjoy your content.
Top man, it's good to see you back 👌
It's so awesome to see you again Ted I want you to do more videos but I know you have a family life and everything but it's amazing to see you again I love it
Pyramyd Air is awesome, they ship some items to Canada. Thanks Ted, great video!
Agreed PA IS DEFINITELY a class act especially if you have em tune and zero your weapon
You had me years ago! Great to see you dropping again. Was planning to add a 25 to the mix and this one checks all the boxes. Your blessing is the closer however! Thanks
Good to see you back! Please make videos more often
Keep dreaming
Ted, I'm glad to see you again, your presence is wonderful as always, I'm from Greece and I've been watching your videos since the beginning, well done and I hope more young people follow this hobby!
dude this might be your best video yet. Raw, real, and compelling!
Ted, so nice to see you again. It's been quite some time and I have missed your videos. This rifle looks like a real winner! It's difficult to find a rifle that doesn't have a lot a plastic parts...just like vehicles. No plastic exudes quality. I ventured back into airguns in 2013. I have a Crosman Nitro Venom .22 and a Diana 34P in .22. I could not achieve consistent groups less than 1.5" at 25 yds with either of those break barrels. In 2018 I bought my first, and only, PCP. It is a Gamo Urban in .22 caliber. I paid $220 for it on Amazon along with a cheap Chinese hand pump for $85. I purchased a UTG 3-12x44 Compact scope for it. My sole purpose for an airgun is to protect my bluebirds from the harassing sparrows. I chose the Urban because it too is a quality airgun and basically a BSA Buccaneer at 1/3 the cost. My shooting distance to the nesting boxes in my back yard is 25-35 yds. This Gamo Urban is capable of 1/2" groups with a JSB 18.1g pellet at 30 yds. Like you, I shoot from my wife's sewing room. So far this year, I shot 11 sparrows from the 35-yard box. The Urban is very accurate and it's has never lost a pound of air in the five years I've owned it. The hand pump works as well as when I bought it in 2018. I do take care of my equipment. I put a few drops of silicone oil in the fill probe every few hundred shots and lube the hand pump with silicone oil once a year. I never over heat the pump either. I am 77 years old and have no issue with the hand pump. I shoot two mags, 20 shots, and refill. If I was in the market for another PCP, I would give this JTS a good look see. Thank for your honest review of this rifle. It's pretty impressive at that price point. Take care, and I hope to see more videos from you in the near future. 😉👍👍 Geo from Kalamazoo, MI
I bought gamo urban and jts airacuda standard both in .22 caliber.The guns are very accurate but i think airacuda is more accurate above 50 yards and way more powerful almost 40 fpe(urban 21 fpe)
@@chrisal36 Yes, the Urban is lower power. The hammer spring can be adjusted to increase the power up to almost 30 FPE. I do not have a chronograph but I have not seen a need to increase the power level. I have made one-shot kills on four woodchucks at 20-25 yds. Shot placement is most important when pesting. I don't think those woodchucks could tell that they were hit with only 23 FPE, and they were just as dead. If you need to go long range beyond 50 yds I can see the need for more power though.
Airacuda is better for hunting above 50 yards.urban is better choice for hunting below 50 yards and backyard plinking(it's a little quieter).Both guns are excellent choices for the money they cost
I'll credit you Ted for getting me into this hobby of pcp air rifles . I watched your videos for years, thinking it's too expensive for me, but last year I picked up several pcp air rifles including this one and I am very happy with it even being left handed I make it work . Love your content
Glad to see you again. This is a great time to get into pcp for sure.
Wow, what a great video and what a great find. This may be the one that pulls me out of all my 22 long rifle target guns to do some PCP. Appreciate all you do
The legend is back!
Only to go undercover again 😂
Happy Easter Ted and thanks for the review of an accurate, affordable rifle. Your straight forward evaluation and infectious enthusiasm is a blessing for me. Your time and efforts are always appreciated. May the rest of your day be great in every way and may tomorrow find you in it.
I'm in now , and I'm glad your back. Thanks for everything
Glad you're back into somewhat budget equipment. Good video
They say “absence makes the heart grow fonder”. My heart is fond enough,Ted. Less absence and more Ted please!
Nice to see you back missed watching your videos.
Great, review Ted! Honest, and to the point! Very, informative! Right, on sir!
Love that you're still doing videos. I subscribed to you over a decade ago and wanted to get into airgunning. Now I am finally able to with my own house with a few acres. Just picked up a new benjamin armada .25 cal with the scope on sale for about $550 and it's pretty freaking accurate for my first pcp gun.
You are 💯 % right I love the JTS and I owned almost everything.
Ted , thanks for the video. Your straightforward description is what we need. No B.s.
So happy to get another vid from you man.
I've been sold thanks those are awesome. Keep making videos man you do a great job.
All hail King Ted!!! You are the reason I am looking at buying PCP rifle. I took many a rabbit as a kid with an old multi pump, 22 air gun (at close range). I bought a 10/22 Ruger, and over the decades have taken many a rabbit with it. Now, I can shoot 100yds with an air rifle? WOW! Thanks Ted More videos please........
Nice video Ted. Good to see content
always great to see a video from the man the myth super Ted!! great review and nice to know this is a good gun by your standards.
Nice to see you again mate, still so enthusiastic about the guns you review.
Always have time to listen to your point of view, never needed the glamour, but I love that cammo!
Ted where you been. Love your content. Your the best guy to review everything air powered. Honest reviews
Hmm cant wait to see this. Thanks ted! I had a kral that can almost outshoot my wildcat.
Sure miss the videos, Ted! You are arguably one of the best youtubers ever! Keep them coming!!!
Just one word Ted. BRILLIANT!
Great to see Ted again, always great product info and entertaining.
Always a pleasure to see a blue dot besides your channel name in my list =) The rifleman who does the nitty-gritty work! Thank you
Awesome Ted 😎 thanks for sharing be safe buddy 💯
Good to see you back again
Rabbit was totally unimpressed. Between yourself , Steve from airgun evolution and Norm and Keith from 68 whiskey my savings account may never recover but a whole lot of pests won't either. Thanks to all involved !!
dude finally I love your channel you really inspire me
Amazing rate of accu ! ThanX for showing. Yep, the air rifles have been getting a lot more accurate for the last few years, so much so I've almost stopped using my accurate Aspen and bought an Avenger.
A legend is back!!
" You don't want to jump into the deep end, start with the shallow end." That is the wisest words I heard in a long time. Most people with high end rifles will tell you otherwise. BUY THE BEST YOU CAN from the beginning they always say. I hate it when people say that. A person's first rifle is to see if he likes the hobby, no need to buy an expensive rifle. I say many people buying expensive rifles just to sit on the shelf after the first week of two, selling it after a few months. If he is really hooked into the hobby, he is going to buy more rifles anyway.
Thanks Ted, good to see you
Awesome content Ted!
Brilliant video , thanks. Probably the gun I would have bought many years ago to get into this hobby .
Great to have you back🇺🇸👍🏻👏🏻✅⭐️
You had me on the Benjamin Discovery however many years ago. I still have it and the floor pump is still working like a champ. I am not doing invasive species lethal removal like I used to. This area supports healthy native species.
Awesome video Ted. Always love the channel. So nice to see se someone supporting a product on its merits rather than outside influences. I’m personally looking more for just plinking. I’d love to know shot count with a.22 around 12 ft pounds. Guess I’ll have to wait for a review from across the pond. Thanks for making another video and sharing. On Wisconsin!
Ted is the reason I bought a PCP rifle. Bought a used FX Royale .22 1) because his early review of this very rifle a lot of years ago lol, 2) it was considerably cheaper than a comparable one that is new. The starlings used to stay just outside of range of the 'ol reliable Bejamin 392 .177, then came the hammer.... oh yeah mister starling you're 80 yards out there..... BAM! Thanks, Ted, for spending my money in a good way. Keep doing what you're doing.
I still had to watch this. Even though I have a few fx guns. Good stuff. I was sold a long time a go 14 years.
Ted's the pcp man. Thanks buddy!
You finally remembered you had a KZhead channel. Welcome back my childhood KZheadr!!(:
Hey Ted, I ordered a .25 right after I watched your video. It just arrived about 30 minutes ago. Got a scope on it and give it a mag of pellets. It's terrific! Includes 2 of the mags out of the box. No plastic. Everything is very nice. Shoots terrific. Sighted in in just a few shots and with my own hand poured Noe mold .25 pellets it's shooting great group right out of the box. I did the 10 for$10 to make sure I got a new good rifle from Pyramid. (Don't ask) but I will do 10 for 10 from now on to make sure I always get a brand new gun not used from them. Anyway very pleased with it so far. I only bought this due to your recommendation. So please keep the reviews honest always just like I feel you always have. Thank you for that! Have fun!
You got me really thinking about it.
Wow! Great review
The gauntlet 30 is one of the best budget pcp rifles too. I really like that the mags are metal on this one!
Love the simple lines and classic design. Very appealing for me anyways.. and then the performance and price, ya buddy
3000psi with a hand pump is a work out for us little guys especially now that im old.
True but we can compensate with better pumps, apparently the more stages the pump has the easier it is to use and a 4 stage is only $150 now.
You got me started on the Disco years ago.
Great review, I'm sold😊😊😊😊
You got me into it years ago, I have the FX Impact in .25 with a .177 barrel also… I believe they now have Impact M3 which is 3 generations ahead of mine now.
Hey! new subscriber here. Your ethos really mirrors mine and enjoyed watching this mate. Cheers for making content!!
Yeap, you got me in to this hobby for sure I remember seen your videos more than ten years ago with your ed gun taking sparrows Some I agree some I don't But here I am given you a dumps up Good to see you again 😂
Great video ted !!!!!!!
Most Excellent Ted..................Cheers!
I have a spring action GAMO Swarm 22 rifle and I really like it and don’t have to worry about having an air compressor and it shoots between 800 ft./s to 1000 ft./s. Depending on what kind of pellet I use. The gun was a lot less expensive than I thought but buying magazines was interesting and they are spring rotary magazines. Really nice similar to what you were shooting. Not all metal but they still work. Excellent thanks for sharing your video. It is interesting.
loved this as all of your videos. Especially the part about barrel bands. I have always seen that free floating was the way to go. Every time noobs modify their guns they seek out a bunch of barrel bands and then complain about clipping.
I just picked this up and ran 60 rounds through it so far, I noticed dramatic velocity drop around shot 50 but the first 40 plus at 50 yards were super accurate once I got the scope adjusted in
I've been saving up for the max version in .25. It was between this and the AvengerX and I just like the metal construction more. The CroMagnums were fun to watch. Looked like the old Contra game from the 80's 😎
Great review - this friend on the sideline may have just convinced the coach to put him in!
Ted..😭 I’m so so happy I met you! I didn’t want to bother you too much but I was infatuated. Thank you for all you bring to the sport! The videos you put out are a blessing and thank you. without you a pellet gun and air rifle would hold no difference 💙 btw GO PACK GO
Thank Ted!
Nice one Ted!
SOLD! 👍 The .25 Max is incredible for the money.
It's so dang good to see you again! Your videos always make my day
Am sold 👍
Love your last statement “get me a rock” LOL!!!!!!!!
It was your videos that got me wondering why I couldnt get a Hatsan Vortex to settle accuracy wise. Tried numerous pellets. And it came down to pellet quality and weight. Can now get a 3/4" group at 30m...good enough for rats!
Please do a review on the FX DRS Classic 500. An "affordable" FX airgun.
I recently got in to this hobby. I bought the Benjamin Maurer .22 cal. I also bought a compressor. It’s a lot of fun.
I forgot to mention this. I also got a Burris fullfield E1, and a CVlife bipod.
Shoulder repair must have gone well. Nice to see.
🔥🔥🔥
Great video. Bro.
And that's why i love this channel no paid BS Cow Dung , sugar coating. Trying to sell a gun. Just hhonest review for the AIr Rifle Community and the love for the sport.
With the position of that power adjuster I'd suspect its actually a rotating transfer port adjustment like the air arms has.
Awesome video review Ted JTS is a great starter PCP rifle and definitely a do able with a handpump. I'm thinking that you have been putting it through it's paces shooting sparrows and starlings. I've now got 3 farms that I do pest control for east of Madison
Ted that was a amazing video - helping us rookies out. Hey do a budget bull pup for us poor folk hobbiest . i’m saving for your pantera hunter compact. like the truck gun sizes .
Great cammo.
Holly shit you're back
I think I need to add this one to the collection
