Much easier to hold onto. Better for thermal breakdown as well.

That group is impressive enough to give me the .25 bug! I did do the trigger mod, but the glass I am using is one of the higher end leapers scopes. I like leupold on my powder guns and am starting to understand why you guys all go with really good scopes on air rifles.

Just what I need, another thing to obsess over (according to…Read more

I don’t think I can squeeze another 100 fps out of the gun unless I try the valve mod.

The heavier pellet thing is coming from my powderburner experience. The 168 grain Sierra’s I load for my .308 are more stable…Read more

The days I get with no breeze are few and far between, I thought a heavier pellet might work a little better.

JSB’s hold about 3 inches at 850 fps for me, but the Kodiaks just go all over the place. Maybe my gun just doesn’t like em, but I was hoping to get a little more whop and a more stable flight with the heavier pellet in the Kodiak.

I read on here somewhere about slowing down the kodiaks for…Read more

I guess this means I need a high flow valve, does the list ever end???

I have a bit of play in mine- I could see if the tophat-breech junction is not tight there would be another impact between the breech and tophat in addition to the hit of the hammer to the…Read more

It is a stock talon valve. I think based off what I have seen here with that stock valve and 18 inch barrel I should be able to get a decent string with the Kodiaks in the low to mid 800’s? I was frustrated after adding the barrel that I only gained about 50-60 fps, and speed was all over…Read more

Why do you not go past .093? Inefficient air usage? Sorry, didn’t mean to hijack the thread.

Judging by some of the groups I have seen posted here mine are pathetic! I hope more illumination from a new light will give me a little more definition on the target.

I am new to the tuning stuff and just tried it yesterday- mine was set at 0.120 factory and had worked loose, I turned it down to the recommended .070 and started adjusting. I eventually wound up at .095 giving me what appeared to be the biggest jump. I am shooting an 18 inch barrel in 22 pw at 10, and measured three Kodiaks clocking…Read more

Can’t wait to get it rigged up and ready to wreak havoc. WOK, what kind of valve mod do you have, and do you think it contributes significantly to your accuracy capability?

The illuminator will go this far as well, I am just looking to make more visibility if possible. I know its kind of hard to see, close to 3in ctc. Does anyone have better luck pulling tight groups with one of these scopes?

Hopefully I will get to that point sooner or later.

I decided Fukit , I am ordering the 18 tomorrow, I will drive myself nuts if I don’t get it over with! My wife complains I am too obsessive about this stuff 🙄 🙄

That was kind of my worry- an 18 with ldc is manageable, a 24 with ldc is a broomstick!
