I wasted a lot of money on trying different pellets – I should have just listened to Tony when he told me this the first time.

I can get close to a hundred shots filling to 3000 psi and shooting down to around 2000 psi.

Already successfully completed the procedure using your guidance.
Now here’s a really stupid question from a rookie – what is the procedure for de-cocking once the auto safety reset is removed?
Thanks

Thanks

I’d like to thank all the folks on the forum who took the time to answer some of my questions that I eventually realized had been asked many times previously and I’d also like to thank the folks that read my…Read more

Originally had the Air Force scope that I returned for a refund. (advice from knifemaker)
My top hat is set at the thickness of a nickel ( advice from Tony) and now have loc tite on the screws.
Have an o’ring behind the top hat and power wheel set at 4.4 and start at 2800 psi…Read more

.25″ groups at 50 yards with everything stock is pretty good in my book – I’d be happy with that.
I am going to try your settings of 4-4 and 2250 with the Kodiaks.
I have my pw @ 8 starting around 2800psi.
Going out of town on business for a few days, so won’t know how this works for me till later this week.

I’m having same issue. (BTW – I am an ANT as well (A Newbie Too)

I have .22 condor ss out of box, no mods, 300 rounds through the gun.
I can put JSB, Kodiaks, & AirArms through the same hole at 30 yards.
But when I push the target to 50 yards, with no other changes to gun settings, it scatters to 2″.
Is this the best I can get without…Read more

What’ the rule of thumb for how tight?
Really crank it, just snug, or somewhere in between?
I’m still trying to find the optimum gap for my top hat and don’t want to keep repeatedly cranking those set screws and causing damage to the valve.
Thx!

This gun is my only stress relief from all of life’s challenges including work, putting a kid through college, and keeping a wife happy for 32 years.
A man needs a good hobby and I have just found mine.
A happy wife is a happy life!

Feel like an idiot – guess I couldn’t see the forest for the trees.
Appreciate pointing me in the right direction.
Hope someone will have mercy on me and delete this post to prevent further embarrassment.
