My Tallon SS only had the 45-gram hammer weight installed from the factory. I had a 19-gram weight/spacer in my parts bin that I initially installed as a spacer but decided to remove it for today's testing. Today's configuration - factory Talon SS, 18in 16mm .20 caliber barrel & TT 6in...

Good looking groups independent of the cost of the rifle! Probably has a lot to do with the shooter/tuner. I'm impressed with efficiency and power you are getting with your unregulated Condor. What are you thinking about for pellet/slug weigh and velocities for a 100 to 200yard tune? I have...

77 years young! aka: old fart

I have been wondering about the o-ring behind the top hat trick. It sounds like the B-Staley modification that is popular on Crosman pistols. I'm using the B-Staley mod on my 1701 pistol with good results. I have the TT shim kit on hand but haven't tried them yet. The kit includes 3...

I was thinking about the best way to quickly get to a reasonable tune on a non-regulated gun. Your data and mine indicate that the top of the curve for the 15.89gr pellet at around 900fps is about 1750psi (~120bar). Would it make sense to use a regulated fill adapter from an external fill...

Got through to AF and they are going to send a return label and ship the correct barrel once I get the return shipped to them. While I was waiting, I decided to try some NSA slugs in the current configuration. I shot the NSA 14.9 gr at a power wheel setting of 10-1 and averaged 906fps for 10...

I'm disappointed this morning! I received my order from AF for a .20 16mm 18" barrel and it is a .25 12mm 18" barrel. Awaiting a call back from AF. I have verified the stock configuration and wasn't going to fine tune with the 12" barrel but may have to refine tune with current configuration...

I just ran across this video on YouTube and thought you might like it.

I took my old Talon SS apart to see what I had in it. I had a TT hammer (70 grams) in it. Also went through my old parts bin and found a stock weight and spacer/additional weight (45 grams/19 grams) in a package. Not sure where I got the stock weight & spacer. I have attached a picture with...

Today's test was interesting. The first thing I noticed was how well the 15.89gr JSB pellets loaded. They slipped in with less resistance than the 13.73gr JSB pellets. Also easier to seat flush than the 13.73 gr pellets without deforming the pellet skirt. The resulting target hole was less...

I will run a shot string of 15.89gr JSBs sometime this week with my Talon SS .20 12" barrel. Franklinks Condor is capable of higher velocities, but I should be able to give you an idea of what is possible. Based on what I have seen so far, I will start at 2300psi unless you have a different...

Here is a picture of my new Talon SS .20

I want to thank @Franklink for this review and taking time to communicate with me via PM. All I did was recommend a full length dovetail to picatinny top rail adapter and either a Mad Dog stock or TT WokGuard to stiffen the Condor. I have tried both the MD stock and the TT WokGuard and prefer...

I played around with it last night and removed picatinny extender/spacer and installed long picatinny rail mount that came with scope. Move cheek rest down as far as it would go and adjusted butt stock (down and length of pull). Overall length of pull is now at 15". Good fit for me and scope...

Yes, I can lower it (and will). But at the current (initial) height my head/eye placement is about perfect. I think I can lower it about an inch by not using the picatinny riser along with using the long scope picatinny mount that came with the scope plus lowering the cheek rest and adjustable...

I just received my 12x50 MTC prismatic scope and mounted on my Epic Two. I have attached pictures so you can see what it looks like on a similar airgun to the AAA Evol mini. Love the clarity and field of view. Not so happy with mounting height but I don't hunt or carry in the field, so scope...

This thread has got me looking at and researching various light 10x scope alternatives. Found a used MTC 10x50 prismatic scope and decided to buy it. When I get it next week, I will mount it on my Epic Two .177 carbine and post how it works for me. Not sure if I'm going to like it but my MTC...

HAM did a good review of the Hawke Airmax 30 Touch. This is a zero-eye relief scope. Mr, Archer does a good explanation of the benefits of a zero-eye relief scope in the review. These benefits should transfer to a zero-eye relief prismatic scope. I have 2 Hawke Airmax 30 SF Compact IR...

This is an interesting thread. It got me thinking. I had EVOL Mini .22 and sold it because it was the best out of the box airgun I have ever owned but it exceeded my requirements. I didn't want to de-tune it because it was so good at what it was designed to do. My current requirements are my...

I just ordered an Athlon Talos BTR 10x42 Gen2. I have a VectorOptics 10x44, an Optisan CP 3-12x32P and an Athlon Heras SPR 2-12x42. I like the glass on the Athlon best. This is why I decided to give the Athlon 10x42 a try. The VectorOptics is good for the price, but its glass isn't in the...
