Mine will shoot hole n hole at 100 if I do my part. I just changed to a new valve from PCP tunes this valve has a huge stem and power went way up now my 74 grainers shoot crappy! I went to a 90 grain and it shoots tight groups but I’m still tuning it in I only get 10 shots from 3200 psi fill. With the first two…Read more

Im sure you will end up the same a never ending fun project. First mod would be the tophat and hammer, you can then use that 3000 psi and get more shots. Enjoy the condor you have just got…Read more

No lead in the barrel so far so I must be doing something right. All my lead is range lead so im not sure about hardness.

Season starts in October but we do better in November and hunt at night mostly we get them inside 50 yards often. I killed two with air rifle one with a maurader 25 cal and the other with my condor 25 cal.

Airguns are more of a challenge, making a hit is easy making a good hit becomes even harder.

I use a Jack haley 308 and it is flat shooting helping with not holding over under.

I will get it buffed out tomorrow and powder coat it and get some pics of it done. I spent most of my day cutting this thing and fitting it glad Im only doing my rifle.

I like how light this gun is over my maurader so taking it out is more enjoyable. Its good to know its not just my rifle being a pos or lemon, I guess they all are LOL.

Do not pull the trigger and not hold the barrel it will slam shut and break something.

It works good I love my kill light. I have taken bobcats out to 200 yards at night with my xlr250 using my 22-250 and can easily identify what it is Im shooting at that far in my scope. I have not used it on my condor at night except to shoot targets, we cant have gun mounted lights for hunting game.

I am wanting to build it for coyote calling rifle so anything around 100fpe to 110 fpe. Will I need a diffrent valve? heavier hammer? or both? Im willing to give up high shot count for power if needed.
