Thanks for the help Anthony, part ordered and shipped.

Shot 65 shots, a few sighters, on just over 1k of air. Those little Ninja gauges are a challenge, even with reading glasses.

Now if I can remember what mildot to use for the range.

Comparison between 800 and 1200 psi

I have tested a 13 CI bottle and co2 adapter on my Talon .177, I was trying to get a lower velocity than my regular bottle.

Regulator set to 1200 psi
Crosman Premeir 7.9
848 FPS. SD 5.4

Crosman Premeir 7.9

Using power setting 7, which turned out the most stable, shot the following pellets.
Crosman 7.9 gr 820 fps
Crosman 10.5 gr 732 fps

So it fell about where I wanted it, now to finish setting it up.

The pb shop had the bottle with a 800 psi reg for $59.

So far I found that I can get at least 60 shots before pressure on the tank is at 1500 ps. It is shooting to poi that CO2 did, put a shut off valve between it and…Read more

After about a month of trying to get adjustability out of it, I decided it was a lost cause. For high speed shots, I use the regular air tank, for lower speed, I use CO2. I also got more change using an ORING on the valve.

However, now that it is 15 degrees outside, I am thinking more about air. The 13 ci tank looks interesting. Archer and PA have one putting out 1100 psi, but I do not know how many shots it will do on my Talon.

It was shorter in length than the one in the rifle. Still no adjustment, but slightly slower. Experimenting with the CO2 adapter, I installed the ORING. This gave me some adjustability up to a setting of 8, after that it actually slowed down. I found the 6 setting the best.

If so, it would seem that the screws holding the barrel to the spacers are loose.

Our club does indoor silhouettes, between 9-20 yards, with a Talon it is quite the trick to set up a scope. I use a 177 barrel for this, but have fired my .25 with CO2 mostly to 20 yards and I have been happy with it. I use a 9 oz bottle, since it is a little smaller in diameter than a 12 oz.

For a while I used nylon ties to hold the buttplate onto the tank. I now am experimenting with a leather shim on the clam. Unfortunately, so far one is too thick and the other is too thin, but it shows promise.

I really like the 9 oz bottle compared to a 12 oz.

I just recently switched to a 9 oz bottle, locally all I could find was a 12 oz and just never liked the extra diameter. So far I have not shot a tank empty, I usually get worried and get it filled, but I do have a spare.

Right now, I am setting up my Talon to shoot indoor silhouettes, which…Read more

The .177 that I have is 18″. I sort of wonder if the 24″ would add much in velocity.

Also I live in Illinois, which brings up other problems. I have a FOID card, but would have to figure out the purchase rules for a barrel.

Now to get to the range, to check it out. The rings were pretty simple to set up.

Wow, 150 yards, quite a challenge, it seems like shooting a mortar. I used to shoot a carbine in .45 LC at 200 yards. Midrange was 16 inches high.

Good luck!

The reason for the 10 yard zero, is that I want to use it for shooting silhouettes at our club. Targets range 9-18 yards. I plan on running the Talon on CO2.

If it doesn’t work out, I still have a great rifle to shoot at longer range.

I will probably refill to 2500 psi, but I am looking for what lower level I should shoot to (in theory anyway). Maybe 1500, or would that be too low.
