If I do this, I’m going HPA. I found more $$$! 😀

The more I look, the more attracted I am to the CO2 Talon SS. And, I now have $675.00 to spend.

After all of this, looking into used scuba, etc,,, & the price of a Hill Pump; I think personally, I would be happier going…Read more

Harry: How much was the tank you purchased?

Pyramyd…Read more

I ask this since, much of my shooting is water bottles, and such.

Thanks!

With the weather being quite cold, and rainy right now, it’s easy just to shop, and not make any decision just yet. 🙂

Yes, this would be correct.

😀 Knowing this, and the fact that a local PB store has all the tank sizes, cover, and butt plate, is really making a good argument for a Talon SS.

Personally, I’m using a smaller 90z. bottle, but my sessions aren’t that long and i’m set up…Read more

To tell you the truth, for an airgun to be of real value to me it has to be 1: Quiet and 2: Accurate those are the most important. Then comes power and ease of carry.

Decide what you really want and what is the most important. I never was even…Read more

I see the discovery being…Read more

So; I keep the Ruger, and now have a couple of good PCP options open: The Talon…Read more

Thanks for the clarification. 🙂

The benefits of the pump are that it is smaller to store and you are independent of filling, hydrostating, whatever. It’s actually pretty good exercise you can do while you watch TV.

It takes a LOT of effort to fill the Talon bottle all the…Read more

Another good tank would be Steel tanks rated at 3442 kinda steep new, but they are out there used, just make sure of the psi rating. US steel scuba tanks range from 2400-3442 psi. They are only…Read more

Since, I shoot off my deck, I have been using towels to bench my RWS 850. But, I thought since there is a bipod for the Talon/Condor, it would be nice to rest the bipod on my deck rails. But, if they down allow left to right movement, that would not allow me to shoot at…Read more

I’m listening Mike. How much trouble is it to use the handpump with one of these Talons? And, how many shots are you getting under full power between fills?

I’m wondering about this since I just finished watching a filling video w/ both a scuba tank, and the AF hand pump.

The…Read more

I’m getting the idea now, that I might be better off going w/CO2 to get started.

If I go with a Talon SS, I would hope I can do it all for $650 w/scope.

How easy is it for you to get a scuba filled? If it is a…Read more

Consider what the hydro date is, as it can add $15-$30 of expense. Hydro is required every 5 years on most scuba tanks. Take your tank to hydro facility yourself instead of working through a dive…Read more

Thanks Rusty! What do you recommend? And, pricing? Thanks!

Taking loudness into consideration, I have heard that the Condor is as loud as a .22 rimfire. On CO2, how much quieter are they?

When you use CO2 the condor valve does not come into play.

Great info, and much appreciated! I’m just wondering if for my casual plinking, and shooting in my backyard to 50+ yds, the extras that the…Read more

Is that extra support actually needed for most scopes and mounts?

Also; is the high flow tank you speak of, internal? Or; is…Read more

I changed the valve spring back to the stock light spring and am able to shoot over 1000 fps again. If you want to make your condor…Read more

Condor with a 20oz CO2 tank, and paint ball stock.

Very nice! Looks like a great solution with that butt pad (stock). So, it fits you well?

I am really giving a Condor serious consideration. And, I think if I do this, I would like to go ahead with HPA. AF told me that on full power, the Condor is as loud as a .22 rimfire. My neighbors might get annoyed (or maybe not) with that much noise. And, since, I only shoot paper, etc,,, to 50yds. max velocity in the…Read more

Cool. What I’m thinking though is, it would cost me an additional $200-$300 to go the HPA route. Looks like about an $800 to $900 undertaking for full HPA setup w/Condor.

So… can you put C02 into a regular HPA tank like the one supplied by Air Force?

Pinguino; your top photo is the look I want. I contacted Air Force, and they told me the C02 tanks are different in size from the regular air tanks that they provide for HPA. They mentioned that the sleeve, and butt plate would not fit, either. But; you came up with something! And, it looks great! :D…Read more

Much appreciated! I cannot see the photos here at work 🙁 . But, I will check them when I get to the house this afternoon.

I am really curious how changing from the 9oz, 12oz, or 20oz tank would affect how the rifle fits up to the…Read more

Thanks!!

I jumped on the thread where Chad introduced himself. If I go the Talon SS route, I’m sure, I’ll most likely begin with C02. And, as I mentioned before, I already have a big C02 tank.

And, thanks for the welcomes, as well. I’m still not sure what I want to do. I know the Talon SS would be sweet.

I spoke with a local paintball shop, and they indicated a charge of $30.00 (or so) to fill my big 3′ tall C02 tank. So, besides the Talon SS kit that I spoke of in my first…Read more
