Airforce Condor in Benchrest
Hello dear friends of the forum, I’m new here and this is my first post.
As well as the topic name suggests, airforce’s used in Benchrest mode.
I bought a few months ago a condor 24 “spin lock model .22, she sometimes used for hunting pigeon and animals, she did great service where I hit many pigeons over 80 meters.
Well, the shooting club I attend, we have the type of benchrest shot and I had already participated a few times ..
Now I’m devoting all my time with the condor for this.
I made minor modifications, taking a trigger spring, where it was extremely light. I tried a few times to improve the accuracy with a damper, but the best I got was using an air stripper.
I have done only once with her score of 245 of 250 possible points, I am after keeping the media 238/239 points …
Shoot plugged into a scuba, with generally 170 BAR, and keep the speed of 275ms with JSB 15,89gr or 18,13gr .. it goes very well with them.
Also use a lighter hammer original it has 68 grams, 20 grams removed, now it has 48 grams.
also I did a steel tile to fix the lower rail, thus increasing the weight of it and let the movable firm on the bench.
use as one hawke scope 6x24x44 mildot.
He wanted the opinion of you who are more experienced than me, it is possible to increase the score with a rifle like that, or if someone knows someone who uses airforce rifles for this type of shot.
Kind regards.

It is an electronic level. As I am an electrical engineer, I used an accelerometer a microcontroller and some LEDs, and made ..
They are very useful to cell battery (old) it keeps on for several days.
passing a magnet over it is even more sensitive.

That’s cool, how do you level it with the rectical?

Hey sat thought you were going to extreme benchrest?
whats is the black box on your condor near scope?
I still can not print a WRABF target to test!
Yes, we are the only ones with AF on the bench !! But for me, I find it more challenging to extract extreme precision of a weapon that was initially made to hunt / destroy things (in my opinion). Shape a rifle that and get the scores we’re getting I think it is much more rewarding than taking a top gun, ready for Br and only fight with himself.
I see examples there in my club shots where people with top guns (at least for us) walther Lg300, Steyer, edgun, Feinwerkbau 700 (prepared for BR) with less than or equal score my with my AF condor !!
Can’t wait to see your target!, seems we are the only one trying to squeeze extreme accuracy out of a AF rifle on the bench.
Here’s another, first one with FX barrel, 25m / 28 yards
I will find out the difference in size of the targets ..
I know we use the standard USBR …
Yes friend, you are right, your target is less than what I’m using. Standard WRABF targets is less than the standard USBR, we use the USBR because that’s what the “Brazilian confederation of sport shooting” chosen.
When you have time I will print a pattern of target WRABF and make a simulated !!
Thank you.

only 2 participants use the .177, one uses a Hatsan AT44 and another one walther lg300
Nice shooting! Your targets look bigger than what we use, idk what it is but something looks differant. Here’s one I shot last weekend, note the quarter in the center for size.
Congratulation….. is all participant using .22 cal?
Very nice shooting without doing a lot of modifications to your gun!
Keep practicing! You’ll improve!
Good morning, guys TAG !!
as well as got no answer here, ran Ago information and incidentally found much here, this forum is great has a lot !! congratulations to all who help to improve the TAG.
Continuing in search of great precision, after the power of the condor I already had the pleasure of taste in some hunting .. I ended up making a smooth change that was insalação a cylinder (ninja) + its own regulator valve, which is set in 1700 psi, it regulated the speed to reach 900 fps with JSB pellet 15,89gr.
This weekend had benchrest championship in my shooting club and to my surprise my setup worked great !!
I was in 3rd place, where in front of me in 2nd was one AT44 .177 (barrel BSA) in 1st one Edgun .22.
And I ended up leaving with my condor brings other airguns as cricket, another Edgun, S510, BSA R10 among other …
Here follows pictures of the two targets that did being 245 (5x) and 241 .. and some pictures of the gun.
Here the weapon with the base (tile) with steel mounts to fix the rails of the condor and the piece of brass for connecting the regulator valve in the valve triggering
Here the hpa I used, before modification
Here is the list of final classification.
I am very happy with the score, I hope to find the pellet model that better to group it and get 250 points soon !!

That’s cool, how do you level it with the rectical?
It works in two ways.
1st if I turn it on it without being next to the magnet, it absorbs the basis of anguilo (0 °) the position he is. say that the weapon is tilted 30 ° to the right, you will think you are at level 0. Then put the gun acceptable visual level and call it absorbs any angle and from 0 to give starts to act.
2nd if I turn on with the magnet leaning, it already has the basic angle 0 internal, but this method, it has to be en consonance with the reticulum and the gun at the same level previously.
So I use the method 1, put everything on the visual level or with the help of a bubble level, and then turn, and only turn off at the end of shooting section!
A detail, this video was the first version to attach with Velcro tape, the second version used a mount sawed and bolted it.
