Thanks….was originally a 24″ (add a silencer) but in tight spaces it was like wielding a broom stick. Set up for close quarters ratting Pile drivers 21gr. @ 650fps and 22.2fpe…… BUT not for long
The Condor in .177 is a pretty serious tack driver. I never took the .177 too serious until I shot it outta the Condor. The heavier 10gr Crossman Premiers are a nice value pellet that works great with the standard valve and even for a pipsqueek .177 hits damn hard. I was effortlessly able to achieve 1″ and under groups easily to 75 yards and still had decent groups (alibi some flyers) at a hundred yards.
I once took out a big dove with certain authority at 130 yrds offhand leaning against the back door frame of my house.
At closer ranges under 50 yrds the .177 even shot fairly decently at hypersonic velocities.
I have much respect for this tiny pill of a pellet.
rifle sound is not the problem…. it’s the impact and it’s so fast and loud/heavy people think it’s the rifle firing that’s making the noise
