Guess I’ll be "HERE" more, since I sold the TSS…
I replaced it with a new Walther 1250 Dominator from AirGunDepot…I got it in a “combo” deal with high power scope (4-16×56), bi-pod, compensator and it comes in a hard case!! Gun is regulated, can use up to 4350psi !!! Here’s a link if you wanna see….

Looked @ several Exanix, one used Daystate, and a super10 from BSA.
The set=up I bought was $891.00 at Pyramyd Air..you can see on the link, that I only gave $699.00, for the EXACT same thing..will take some pix when I get it…MAN !!I’M STOKED

Are you kidding me ??? I’ll bet I watched the “BSA” factory video of it at least half a dozen times….both them single shot and the multi…..but it’s got such a low shot count ..that is the only thing that kept me from calling AirGuns of Arizona and ordering one.. I’m talking like I had my debit card out ready to give’em the info. Glad I bought (and decided to keep ) the Dominator, but I’d be willing to bet I end up with an Ultra as well..THAT’S a carbine a guy could love 😀 So, is the Super 10……
Did you take a look at the BSA Ultra?
Now there is a little rifle I could get along with 😀
I have NO idea why it didn’t occur to me to ask here..it honestly never crossed m ymind…another “senior moment” I guess 🙁 🙁 Although, I probably wouldn’t have bought an 850, that’s what everybody has, and no Marauder for me, that’s what everybody has…same thing with a Condor…..I just don’t follow the herd very well, so to speak….I know the COndors are GREAT, nad so are the 850’s..but my Dominator, filling it to only 3750psi and shooting down to 2100psi, will shoot 40 shots of 14.3 pellets averaging 928 fps..probably ad 15-16 more to that if I refilled all the way to 4350…so it’s got the “umph”..and it came that way..no modifying the valve, and the barrel ports and change springs and all that–Dominator shoots that good right out of the box..Thing is, I won’t to de-tune mine down to shoot around 850psi , which will lengthen my shot count a considerable amount..I already have a gun that shoots +34FPE , don’t want or need another…just want looong shot count medium power, and PLENTY of loaded magazines 😎 😎 😎 😎 😎 .
Raold Antwerpen, is moving here, and wait till this late summer when we bag some Yotes with airguns, can’t believe it untill it happens, he is suppose to be teaming up with Greg Davis, the M-rod tuner, which I also didn’t know lived here. And Pack-rat I also was going to buy a dominator for very cheap and asked the guy’s here 1st. Got the big no and got me a fully tuned Hammerli 850 airmag, on hpa, get like 80 shots at 870 – 880, using 15.2 grain pellets, I have shot everything with that gun, due to the night scope I have on it. My day time killer is the Condor, or my 2240 Crosman. Thanks Tag !! Hats off to you………………………………………….
For one thing they list weight at 5.73 pounds..they DON”T tell you that the scope is ANOTHER 2 1/2 pounds and that the mount and bi-pod is ANOTHER 2 1/2. What really got me was the fact that the regulator wasn’t adjustable …after the guy contacted me , he pointed out that I’d read more into the advertising than what it actually said..I went back. re-read and sure enough, it WAS my mistake..I was glad in a way, cause I really do like the gun (but at hte same time, I really HATE to be wrong 😥 ) Anyhow, he knows about regulators and shimming them and etc.etc.etc. and I’ve done a bunch of research ( that I should have done earlier!!!) and it’s ALL good…
For sure, I’d buy the gun again..I like the German quality, I like the high pressure capability, and I LOVE the 8 shot repeater ..and how smoothly it operates..All I can say is it was MOSTLY my fault, I should have done more fact-finding, and I should have carefully read the advertising, making sure of what it said and didn’t say.Guess I got excited at being able finally to buy a $700.00 airgun..I sure didn’t think that would ever come to pass, ya know????
Or you could have asked here…. 😀
We know alot about all the airguns out there and steered to the the reality of it all. 😛
I didn’t send gun to 850 Store…it’s closed until August or so…moving to Arizona and merging with Desert Airguns (or something like that) the guy that contacted me was from 850 Forum..I put “STORE” in my previous post by mistake (sorry for ant confusion) 😳 😳

Yes, good question roach!
What is the fix, it appears to be a nice rifle…
Packrat,
So buddy, enlighten us, what did you find wrong with the gun and what kind of fixes does the 850 store have?
Would you buy it again?
And yes I know they are like assholes, everybody has one, but is it better than a 25 M Rod.
Not trying to jerk you around, just curious
PABLOUK- in a fit of rage I posted it for sale..The advertising for it, like SO MANY other guns, isn’t always all the truth…in this case it concerned the regulator. Anyhow a fellow from the “850 Store” sent me a message and told me to keep the gun, he knew what to do to get it like I wanted., so I did I’m glad he got hold of me, cause I KNOW I’d be regretting it right now, if I had sold it….I just got tired of all the crap that manufacturers will tell ya…anyhow, mine’s getting some new parts and adjustments 😯 😯
Capitals to start sentences. Double spaces after a period and a single space before a parentheses. Partial words of letters and mismanaged punctuation are not acceptable. The word is “fuck”, not “f–k” didn’t your spell check alert you?
I think your the one in need of an education. 🙄
Pack’ you sold the new gun already??!! What was up with it?
So this standard of spelling you are holding me to, does it include capitalizing the 1st word of a sentence???? Also does it use dashes as a letter? I would follow your suggestion about spell check but I use a web browser not an email client to post on this forum. But web browsers do have spell check. Where’s the real grammar Nazi and that wambulance?
Are you Joe Chemmy?????????
dollar hunt- I suppose it could seem strange ot buy a gun and wat to sell it so soon. Believe it or not, mznufacturers will sometimes exaggerate things about their products 😯 😯 I over-reacted when I found this to be true in the case of the Dominator..Someone PM’ed me and told me they had figured out how to make it right, and convinced me to keep it…the price I was asking would have been a helluva deal for you, as the gun was basically still new..but you obviously weren’t satisfied with just a helluva deal, I guess you were looking for the deal of the century…I’m not knocking you for that, but like I said, mine would have been a helluva good deal, whether you agree with it or not.What I bought had NOTHING to do with what I was trying to sell….sorry you didn’t get it , it is a helluva neat gun…and BTW, I never said it was sold, my ad said it was GONE…(gone to get fixed).. ask guys here that have bought stuff from me..you’ll find I do not do the “UNLOAD” thing, period. peace, out.
Yeah wine, you know, like the new Jewish wine.
You never go shopping with me any more.
You never take me to see my parents any more.
You never…….

Got 59 shots , 14.3 CPHP, between 957 and 916 fps, the rest were after it went below regulator set-point,(1750fps) so I just quit…I can shoot 7 1/2 magazines @ 29-26 FPE, and no change in POI-and I haven’t done anything to improve performance…straight-out-of-the-factory-box-stock. And I sure like the repeater thing, it’s smoooooth 😀 😀
