So far, it’s as close to perfect as I could hope for. I managed to shoot a couple 6 shot groups in a lull in the wind, and for a first attempt at 50 yards, I’m pretty amazed. There was still a little wind, but mostly the problem is the shaky old man on the unsteady folding table…Read more

It’s not bad, but I’ll hold out for the Impact.

Cheers,

If not, they’ll fix it. I like the design better than anything else out there, so there’s no other option for me.

Cheers,

I am sure they fix them and resale them as sending them back to Sweden would cost out the as.
I would call AOA and see what they say.

That seems to be the biggest challenge right now.

I’ve never really spent much time thinking about how PCP airguns work, but I’ll be learning more as I start tinkering with these again.

Man, are those trigger parts ugly :suprisedn: I guess I see where the cost savings comes from, and I’d bet that explains the difference…Read more

I just shot a string and added my JSB 18.1 results to the graph.

The curve seems quite different between your string and mine, and I have to believe that there’s just going to be some variation in the way individual guns are tuned. Mine seems really…Read more

I did a shot string on my .22 with 14.3gr pellets and the curve looks quite different. This is the first time I’ve ever done this with pellets, so I’m not sure if this is to be expected when changing weights, or if it just shows differences in the way the rifles are set up. Obviously I would expect lower velocities for the heavier…Read more

I got a chance to try a few 50yd and 100yd shots today to go along with some 20yd tests I did the other day. Keep in mind that I’m not steady enough to ever be precision shooter, so just assume the gun is being penalized for having me holding it 🙂

20 yd was just Crossman 14.3 Premier pellets. The 50 and 100 yard “groups” (100yd…Read more

My trigger is really creepy. BTW, how far were those groups shot from?

Thanks,

I hadn’t really thought of that, but I can definitely see it happening. They probably take a lot of refundable deposits for orders, and there are bound to be people who pass on the sale by the time the rifle is available. Yesterday I ordered a Kral Puncher Breaker to play with until the Impact arrives, so I’m sure they’ll be calling…Read more

I knew there had to be a proper term for this, and that’s probably why I couldn’t find it in my searches. Thanks for the links and the proper name!

Of course right after ordering from air tanks Plus I found this- http://www.pyramydair.com/s/a/Air_Venturi_G6_Test_Plug/6682

Nice to know there’s at least one option. If I can’t find one in the US, I’ll definitely check to see what the shipping would be on these.

They don’t list the cut-in pressure, or mention if it’s adjustable, so I can’t say if it could maintain 120psi or not. Unfortunately it’s over $400 everywhere I saw it listed.…Read more

I ordered one of these this morning with enough adapters to have a male fosters on one side and a female on the other.
