What’s reasonable to expect from a stock .177 Talon SS?
I’ve got a realtively new .177 caliber Talon SS. The main reason (o.k., excuse) for getting it was to control the rabbits that were ravaging my wife’s garden. I get 840-870 fs with Kodiaks, and 910-940 with Predators. I’ve played with the PW a bit, and it seems that a setting of about 8 gives me pretty close to the best power/consistancy shooting. I have not yet played with the top hat. How far am I from getting optimum performance, and how much might I gain from adjusting the top hat.
I get 30-40 shots, starting at ~2900psi and dropping to ~2100-2200psi.
Oh, and does anyone have good recipes for rabbit? 🙂

Got mine back in early May they are great guns. In particular mine is in .177 got it as the co2 in ss trim version cause i wasnt sure about the hand pump and or the scuba deal. Played with that set up for a couple weeks then bought a standard t/tss tank and the hand pump. Wow– the spring guns are cool but this thing took the cake with the 12″ barrel and about a pw 9.5 setting kodiaks and heavy crosmans were doin high 900s down thru the good high to mid 800s. Then I got two barrels both 18″ one in .177 the other .20 . With a 3000psi fill pw@ 10. 18″ first shot 1010 with a .177 kodiak wow…. thats slightly over 24 foot pounds 😈 the .20 is even more torrid 13gr kodiaks hover just under 1000 on pw10 or so for just about 28 foot pounds 😈 . beeman field target specials, crosman heavies, kodiaks and rws superdomes try them in your .177 … and oh by the way mine is totally stock other than the lw barrels, and I am just about 100% sure its gonnastay that way no top hat turning or nothing. I get tons of powerful shots in the state that its in.
