what is the truth about AF guns ?
Trying to get honest, straight answers concerning the accuracy of AF rifles.
Reason for asking; Close to purchasing my first AF gun.
Function first, accuracy second, etc., etc.
Having trouble finding pics of groups shot with AF guns, especially 30-50 yard groups.
I was under the assumption that LW barrels are accurate.
From what I have read and seen, most speak of power and little concerning accuracy.
Peoples taste change from time to time, and mine does too. At this particular time, i`m interested in a Talon P. May be a Condor next month. Who knows.
What kind of accuracy can one expect from an AF gun?.
Have been into airgunning a few years and own multiple guns.

the condor is going to have the best accuracy just to let you know
yes one of the other members looked into that i think he said yes
if you get a talon p you will nee this for good groups\

First, thanks for the reply.
I`m mostly interested in accuracy.
I can use larger 3000 psi paint ball tanks on the P if I decide to later, right?.
at 30 yard with .25 condor i get dime sixe groups when taking time to take the shots with .22 talon ss nickel size groups when taking time i have been droping starlings at 48 and have yet to miss since i sighted in the scope at 30 so if you want quite go with talon ss if you want power go condor if you want small and power with shot count go talon if you want small power low shout count talon p
if you get a talon p you will nee this for good groups\

When I had the 12″ barrel on my Talon SS accuracy was 1.5″ at 70 yds.
I put in a 16″ LW polygonal barre and did a valve tune and now 1″ at 100 yds
My son regularly can take sparrows at 70 yds off hand with the Talon.
once I put in the barrel and did the valve the TalonSS shot on par with my AirArms 400.
With the AF gun you must make sure everything is dialed in and locked down with locktite. Then you use a light hold while shooting and you will have a good time.
I would go with a Talon SS if you are going to shoot around the house. Go with the Condor if you are going after bigger game and longer range.
