This is how accurate my 18" Condor can be… Pictures
I decided to see how accurate my 18″ barrel Condor is and this is what my results are:
My setup:
– 18″ Condor .22cal with Hi-Flo tank and a homemade frame extender.
– Tank start fill was 2600psi (according to the AF scuba fill adapter gauge) and PW @ 4-1
– Beeman Kodiak 21.1gr pellets
– Average MV 950fsp
– Target placed out to 25 yards
– 7 target, 5 shot per target
– Sunny, 17*C, no wind
– Prone position, Front foregrip supported with a shooting sandbag
– My grip on the Condor was very light, just enough hold to squeeze the trigger. My cheek just barely rested on the tank.
– My best 5 shot group was 0.27″ as seen in target #6, this is also when I refilled the tank back to 2600psi 8)

I’d be happier with #3 than #6. Who cares about the CTC if it’s sitting halfway to Tuesday from the bull?
Just saying… I’ve never understood how the CTC thing matters a lick unless the rounds are sitting smack dab on the bull.
Not knockin’ ya Roc, that’s some good shooting.
I’ve just always wondered why CTC trumps bullseyes.
Maybe that’s why I hate Gaylord’s reviews. 😆
The flyer could have been caused by a number reasons but my targets are only 2.5 cm in diameter so even with the flyers I’m still happy with the overall results.
Also note that I gave it a good barrel cleaning and it was dirty. I should have taken the advice but I didn’t and went ahead and shot my Condor as soon as I got delivery of it and didn’t clean the bore prior to.
Do you think flyers are usually deformed pellets. Any way good shootin dar tex.
I put a new , 18 in vented bushing, barrel in last night and sighted it in. I can sure tell a difference on high power. I will chrony it soon to see just how many fps I gained

Buzz, you can always move the POI closer to the X-hairs and keep the same C-T-C there. It’s done that way so as not to shoot out your aim point.
