When we needed him most...he returned.

I got seriously sick years ago. I was bed ridden for a long time. Bored out of my brain, I decided to watch some KZfaq videos. I found your channel. You helped me through a bad time. Thank you!

Well…here we are 12+ years later…still watching Ted vids lol.

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 KZfaq.

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!

Thumbnail looks like your video with the Benjamin ~14 years ago that got me into this sport/channel. From the woods of northern Michigan 👍👊🇺🇸🤘

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.

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.

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!

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!

Good to see you back! Please make videos more often

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........

They say “absence makes the heart grow fonder”. My heart is fond enough,Ted. Less absence and more Ted please!

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

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

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

The legend is back!

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!

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.

Nice to see you back missed watching your videos.

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

Glad you're back into somewhat budget equipment. Good video

Glad to see you again. This is a great time to get into pcp for sure.

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.

Great, review Ted! Honest, and to the point! Very, informative! Right, on sir!

I've been sold thanks those are awesome. Keep making videos man you do a great job.

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.

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 !!

Nice video Ted. Good to see content

So happy to get another vid from you man.

Great to see Ted again, always great product info and entertaining.

Nice to see you again mate, still so enthusiastic about the guns you review.

I'm in now , and I'm glad your back. Thanks for everything

" 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.

Ted , thanks for the video. Your straightforward description is what we need. No B.s.

Ted where you been. Love your content. Your the best guy to review everything air powered. Honest reviews

3000psi with a hand pump is a work out for us little guys especially now that im old.

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!

Just one word Ted. BRILLIANT!

You are 💯 % right I love the JTS and I owned almost everything.

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

Always have time to listen to your point of view, never needed the glamour, but I love that cammo!

Good to see you back again

Awesome content Ted!

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!!!

A legend is back!!

Great to have you back🇺🇸👍🏻👏🏻✅⭐️

dude finally I love your channel you really inspire me

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.

With my JTS Airacuda Max, I can hit a 2-inch target at 130 yards, and I can get a 1-inch group at 100 yards. With jsb 18.13 grain jumbos. At 50 yards I got a half inch group.

Brilliant video , thanks. Probably the gun I would have bought many years ago to get into this hobby .

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.

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.

Thanks Ted, good to see you

Love your last statement “get me a rock” LOL!!!!!!!!

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!

Hi Ted great video as usual

Awesome Ted 😎 thanks for sharing be safe buddy 💯

Love the simple lines and classic design. Very appealing for me anyways.. and then the performance and price, ya buddy

Hey! new subscriber here. Your ethos really mirrors mine and enjoyed watching this mate. Cheers for making content!!

Ted's the pcp man. Thanks buddy!

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.

Love watching pellet gun videos. I have a couple springers that are really fun and cheap to plink with at short distances. But for pest control I have a hard time grabbing a PCP over a .22 with tame ammo and a suppressor.

Great video ted !!!!!!!

You got me started on the Disco years ago.

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.

You finally remembered you had a KZfaq channel. Welcome back my childhood KZfaqr!!(:

Wow! Great review

What Ted's back! Got to watch.

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.

Great video! I have had one for a year now. At first wasn’t impressed because it was slinging pellets everywhere. The barrel was not centered properly and there’s clamping marks on the barrel from the factory trying to straighten it out. I have pulled it off and repositioned it and have gotten it to shoot pretty decent now. I tried contacting JTS when I first got and couldn’t get a hold of anyone. Looks like you got a good one.

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 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

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.

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 video mate. Thanks for not changing :)

Hi, Just ran into your channel today, like your video/ presentation, etc. subscribed today. You don’t have to hook me on the sport, I got hooked a little over a year ago( cause of KZfaq) . I had no idea Airguns’s have evolved into what they are. I am a 66yo guy, had a BB gun when I was a kid. Obviously nothing like these. As I said I am hooked now, I have built a rifle room / range in my basement, soon to have a range in my backyard. I have quite a rifle collection started, Daystates, Evanixs, BRKs, Western sidewinder / rattler, JTS, Air Venturi and I am sure there are others I am forgetting, something over 50 rifles and having a blast doing it. Honestly not sure why the sport isn’t more popular than it is, the fact that it’s backyard friendly, you can do it in your basement, and yes I have gone over board ( just the way I do things, says the guy that has 7 corvettes) . But you are right for $500 to $750, you can get started and have a lot of fun. Take care and keep up the good work.

With the position of that power adjuster I'd suspect its actually a rotating transfer port adjustment like the air arms has.

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!

My .22 cal DAR Gen 3 was A LOT less than the Aircuda Max, uses the same regulator and it STACKS 15.89 Hades, Barracudas and NSA/H&N 17.5-21 gr slugs at 50 yards. Yes the factory reg let me down after about 1500 shots. Yes I picked up a Huma Air Tuning reg. Found out after that the poppet o-ring was dry rotted and literally fell apart when I inspected it AFTER replacing it. ES and SD is now

Please do a review on the FX DRS Classic 500. An "affordable" FX airgun.

First off, love your videos Ted you are partially responsible for hundreds of my dollars spent and completely responsible for putting this PCP monkey on my back so for that sir... I thank you. I have the jts airracuda standard in . 25 for all the reasons you stated in the video I knew it was going to be a great shooter from the moment I saw it so i ordered it within the first week they were out and have not been let down at all . As I said I am highly addicted to these PCP airguns so not long after that (maybe a month) I couldn't fight it anymore I knew it was going to be worth it so I scooped up the airracuda max in .22 and also got the max in .30 the day it dropped on pyramyd Air so needless to say I wholeheartedly agree about the value and quality from the jts line and cannot wait to see what they have to offer in very near future ( stealth hawk) I personally havent experienced any of the quality control issues I have plagued some users such as the clipping that is caused by the barrel crown or magazines not fitting properly due to the breach warping (as I understand it generally user error in over-tightening stock screw) I love the potential for adjustment being that you can adjust the valve, regulator and hammer spring for the Max and the standard can be adjusted just as easily minus the regulator but with the added adjustability of the transfer port but if I did have any complaints for lack of a better word it would be not having a 300 bar fill for the max or at least an external adjuster for the regulator and more than anything I think one of its greatest limiting factors is the shorty barrel at 430ish mm. I would have liked to have seen a 650 mm or 700 mm barrel for the .30 especially and maybe a 550 mm barrel for the standard but at the price I can't complain too much especially considering the accuracy that these things can produce and the stocks are gorgeous too in my opinion they need no further work but if you like a more polished look they look great that way too. Oh and FYI the power adjuster on a standard is simply a transfer port adjuster the hammer spring is adjusted at the back of the breach underneath the pellet pusher housing at the rear of the air tube, still very easy to adjust after taking the stock off.

The gauntlet 30 is one of the best budget pcp rifles too. I really like that the mags are metal on this one!

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 cammo.

You got me really thinking about it.

You still have it, like from the early Edgun videos, how long ago was that? I appreciate the absence of gadgetry, simplicity is art. It's hard to beat an original. 👍

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

Interesting rifle. Wish our snow would be gone in March lol. Nah I don't I love the snow we have up here in Alaska. Great Video Ted.

Shoulder repair must have gone well. Nice to see.

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

SOLD! 👍 The .25 Max is incredible for the money.

Great review!! 👍 I bought an Airacuda (22 xal) last fall and love it! My accuracy improved the more I shoot it. Mine seems to favor the H&N Terminators and Crosman Destroyers and the Gamo Rockets are pretty good too. One of the worst pellets I've tried were the RWS Superpoints, couldn't even get a 6 inch group at 20 meters, I'm guessing they're spiraling too badly to give a good group. My ONLY con with the actual gun is that there's no easy way to mount a bipod on it. The stock is very thin at the front and I'll likely never be able to get a swivel stud or even a short piece of rail attached on the stock. 😟 Pete 🇨🇦
