condor 1st time buyer…need answers
I’ve been looking at several air rifles and seem to keep ending up back at a condor. My buddy has a talon ss and I fired it and it is sure quiet …I am new to this and it would be my first and at these prices, hopefully last PCP…I am not as particular weighing pellets and measuring velocity and trying to figure out if I can’t put all pellets in the same hole because a butterfly in Mexico farted and made the world wind currents change…..Cut to the chase,,,I have vermin and pidgeon problems and want to hope to have kills out to 100 yards and less hopefully quietly…
1…is that unreasonable to expect?
2 …..can I make a suppressor to tone down the sound to talon ss level ?
3…..is it practical to expect a 3442 steel 130 scuba tank to give me several fills or do I need a s106w 4350 tank ?
4….If I used kodiaks and jsb exact heavies at a lower power ,,,can I expect kills at 50 yards?
5. how many fills from a scuba and how many shots per fills can I expect at ajusted powers from the high flow tank?
6. I heard you can use a talon ss tank on a condor. What can I expect? Is it possible? should I buy a spare hi flo or regular tank?
7. what is the largest game you could take if I could get head shots?
sorry but when I’m gonna drop a grand in this economy on a gun that doesn’t take deer at 300 yards, I just want to know what I’m getting into…I saw a Daystate air ranger ….more than twice the cost and a heavy beast and this is just the result of one of many PCP’s I’ve checked out….Thanks more than you know for your collective wisdom and this site

T.T top of page Talon Tunes and condors too.
Tony @ T.T what is the full URL?
Either one can be made into the other one. I believe it might be cheaper to make a condor into a talon than the other way around, but I could be wrong.
I was just reading about shrouds….are they illegal as regular silencers and a target by BATF?
so regular scuba tank is enough pressure?
A condor quieter than a talon with silencer???
should I buy a spare hi flo or regular tank? I wouldn’t ……don’t buy any extra tank or regular or hi flo?
if I use the talon tank on a condor isn’t then just a long barrel talon ss?
Are any of you saying a talon ss is a better choice than a condor….sorry I’m so dense
Welcome to the AirForce addiction….
2. If you are not a machinist, I doubt you could make a shroud for a 24″ barreled Condor. You can buy them from people on this forum…
6. Yes buy a Talon tank ..It will give you all the power you need and keep the shots below super sonic where they become unstable. It will also give you more shots per fill and more consitant an accurate shots which you will definately need when trying the 100yd kill shots….
7. I have seen videos of hogs being taken down with .22 air rifles with the right placed shot but from close range….
Get the Condor, a Talon Tank, and a 12″ barrel…It is really unbelievably easy to swap barrels and turn the Condor into an SS.
answers,
1) no
2) quieter
3) too many numbers, don’t know
4) yes
5) refer to # 3
6) more shots and less power, yes, depends on if you want shot count or power
7) can’t talk about such things
Sorry I double posted. I went back and tried to remove my first one but it wouldn’t let me. I like the way I answered in my second attempt more. For the shroud I would suggest Tony @ T.T.
