What pellets does yours eat?
Hi everyone. I’ve been following this forum for about five months now and I havn’t been on another that is a fraction as interesting to me as this one. It inspired me to purchase a .25 AAA condor from Tony. It’s was worth every penny and excruciating wait. I have five kids, three of which were born only minutes apart, so it’s been some time since I’ve been able to purchase a toy for me. I couldn’t be happier with this one. I opted to keep the stock .22 barrel and was going to test it this weekend and none of my .22 pellets would even start in the barrel. I think the barrel was mixed up with a .20 cal. The pellets I tried were JSB monsters, eun jins and ultra mags. I would have checked the ID with my calipers but all five of my kids don’t have any idea how they were destroyed. So it would be helpful if someone here could tell me what your condor .22’s like to eat.

When I ordered the rifle I knew that the .25 pellets would be mail order only for me. There aren’t any shops in CT that carry them. .22’s are easily accessible here so why not have both. The last time I talked to Dick @ predator, the ultra mags in .25 wouldn’t be available until the end of this month. So I’m sure they were .22’s.
Forest and Field in Norwalk CT. has .25 pellets from time to time.
Also Bobs in Darien Ct.
80 GRIT,

Welcome to the forum and congrats on your AAA purchase. Are you sure you didn’t purchase .25 ammo and are trying to cram it into a .22 barrel??? You did mention above that you purchased a “.25 AAA” but then you also said you opted to keep the .22 barrel. Just wondering???
Roachcreek,
I see all your Air Force rifles have the etac. Are any regulated? The reason I ask is my AAA won’t shoot the lighter pellets (jsb exacta’s) subsonic unless I am low on pressure and I’m not happy with the accuracy of the eun jins. I also see you have an air archer. That has to be my next self present.
Thenoid,
I had three, then found out what caused them and quit, didn’t do any good, the exwife went out and bought two more.
But they are all gone now, nothing involving coasting down a boatramp, they grew up and left home.

Yah, I think I planted the seeds too deep.
Thenoid,
Mine likes JSB’s, Monsters and I have to press hard to get the Ej’s in. CPL’s fall in.
Sounds like you have almost screwed yourself away from the table. 😉

Thenoid,
Yes I have the ETACs on all of my rifles, it helps with that erognomic problem of the cheek weld being too high, plus makes for an easy tank to tank fill and gives you a guage.
With it you can use medium higth rings also.
The Airarcher makes it the most deadly airrifle on the planet in my opinion, it can kill anything I will come up against, 4 legged or 2 legged if need be. I can shoot arrows with pin point accuracy to 60 yards at 400FPS. I also have the Subssonnic bolt to help cock that heavy spring. 80 grit has such a weapon also.
Next I will outfit two more rifles with the wok15, get a 25 barrel and perhaps another valve to give the 25 max power.
I am waiting on the regulator to see what it will do. I hunt with my rifles around my house to control ground squirrels and raccoons. I seldom shoot more than 5 shots without a fill, so a regulator is not something I need right now. If I go hunting in eastern Oregon, where I can sit in my car and shoot for hours without moving more than a couple of times, I will just hook up to a 3000PSI scuba tank with a long hose, scuba tank to ETAC. If I leave the car, I will just take a AF rifle with a unteathered tank or quick disconnect the one I am using.
The people that have used them as you have read, love them for their purposes, which seems to be multishot pinpoint accuracy. I just do not have those needs right now, and would prefer the higher velocity for 5 shots.
