Loving the Condor Again….
Have had this bird since the year they came out and have had some work done to it. In .22 it was pretty accurate and so I ended up getting a .25 barrel for it and had Tony work his magic.
Accuracy was pretty good, though not what it was in .22. I ended up loaning out my .25 barrel for a while and recently got it back. During that time, the new JSB’s came out in .25 and I decided to give them a go today.
I hadnt shot them before out of this gun and wow… I think I am loving the Condor again. Inside 30 yards, easy one ragged hole groups. At 50 yards, groups could be covered by a nickel. Shot count is good on it and I am able to get a good 25 shots with little deviation.
Decided to chrony the JSB’s and they are flying out at around 1070fps…. need to turn it down just a hair more, but still… gotta love the accuracy here.
Thinking I’m going to put one of Tony’s adapters on this one and move the EtaC to another gun. Maybe give it some better glass and this one is finished!

Hey Rob be sure to try the Benji Domed.
Just a bit heavier than the JSB and for me slightly more accurate.
I push them right at the 1000fps mark and sometimes have paper between the holes. 😎
General consensus is that mid 1000 is too much… but like you, I have found them to be very accurate in my Condor, and that’s fine by me.
I had ordered one tin to try them out, but looks like I’ll be getting many more now.
Need to try out at 75-100 yards now with it.
FX Elite where art thou comparative attributes?
For a good Condor 25 does the same with more power.
And yes those Kings are special, I just ordered 13 tins Friday. MIne seems to fly true in the mid 1000’s also, although some think that is too fast.
I just got a new frame for mine, the angled adapter is next to replace the ETAC just like your doing.
The difference down range on Starlings between a 22 and a 25 is astounding.

Rob,
I think your going to find that speed is just fine. Especially when you stretch them out to 100 yards. Right now, the way my AAA is set up, I have them moving way to fast averaging 1115 fps for the first 15 shots on a 2900 SP. This speed does not effect accuracy at short range, 30, or even 50 yards, but I have not had much success with this speed at 100 yards. I am going to see how they respond to a lower Start pressure before I play with the pre-load….
Furthermore I am trying to balance out a “one tank/valve system” that will enable me to shoot six ring slugs and kings by simply adjusting pre load and fill pressures. I don’t want to mess with the TH when I go from one to the next….
Nice set up Rob! Glad your having fun!
