Sam Yang question…
Hello to everyone out there as this is my first post. I’ve been lurking for quite sometime and thought I’d like to participate.
Sam Yang Big Bore 44 909 Light Hunter
Sam Yang Big Bore 909S
Thinking about either of these and thought I’d like to get some feedback. What’s the difference between the two other than the obvious like one doesn’t have a pressure guage and one has 30 less fps.
Thank you,

The 909 is more versatile……more air for more shots, tighter fps variance in a shot string making for a better plinker/target gun. Still plenty of power for deer when using medium, to heavy slugs (especially when tuned). Can be tuned to 280+fpe.
The 909S is more powerful…..more of a dedicated hunting rifle with more variance in fps between shots (when tuned, anyway). Can be tuned to 350-370+fpe.
I have the 909, and plan on getting another one before this one wears out. Great gun. Mine is tuned to 260fpe, retaining the stock hammerspring.
