I did not need it with the TT quick change top hat.

Stock top hat with powerwheel on 3 I was very hot for accuracy.
JSB 18.13 exact heavies were averaging 1082 for first ten shots
Baracuda 21.14 averaged 1027 first ten shots

Through some testing I have found that a little lower pressure helps with sound and accuracy. I plan on trying the o-ring soon. I just received my Hawke Sidewinder scope to replace the Airforce I bought with the gun. Zero tomorrow and then some more fun..

It does not take me too long to do the math. Even with gas and the cost of the fill I would have to fill at least 30 or more times to cover the cost of a shoe box. I need to see how much I actually need. I will revisit the costs in 6 months.

I did have to drop off the tank because they could not find their fitting. Came back 4 hours later for pickup. I was ready to pay $15 because that is what some companies had quoted me. Shoot straight!

The local dive shop quoted me eight dollars but they only go up to 4000psi. And…to get that it has to be on the day they recharge their bank of tanks.

You hit the nail on the head. It is a matter of economics. I believe that you shoot more than I do. The shoebox makes sense in you case. I went to a local paintball store on Saturday. They filled my 4500 psi tank for a little less than $5. I was surprised but did not argue with the price. I left a dollar tip…..do you…Read more

I shoot a lot of centerfires with great results. I am thinking that the cheap Airforce scope is not holding. I adjusted one of the turrets and there were no clicks just smooth rotation.

I am thinking of calling Pyramydair tomorrow and see about retuning the scope and getting a Hawke. s

It appears that it is going to be a trial and error adventure. I am used to shooting 22-250 and .223 that group .150 at 100 yards. Having to get used to this air thing. Any one else like to share their combination of variables when shooting their Condor?

Tank Pressure??

Wheel Setting??

Pellet?

Chrony?

Valve?

Yardage?

That is not the way to start a relationship.

When my condor showed up from Pyramidair it still had around 2400 psi in the tank. Good enough to shoot and try things out.

Keep us informed on your progress.
