Now if I only could shoot 9 more targets like that

I am sure there will be a day!

The barrel has been cleaned and it is ready to hit Rio Salado for the evening PCP practice. I am going to shoot both the 45 and 50 grain AEA's at 100 and see which one does better in the wind.....The 50's are running about 860 and 45's about 895.....I am not going to play with the tune at all, because the 45's shoot so well......But in the wind maybe the 50's will do better

I will use a pull through between the 45's and 50's, to make it as the same as possible when it comes to the barrel being clean.

Do you think this rifle has the power to push the AEA 66 gr?

 

[Pesty3782]

I don't think so, the reg is already at 170-180.....Transfer port on high...

Ah ok, I havent seen anything shoot those yet but theyre an interesting offering.

I have a tin if you want me to send them to you? Ghost doesn't have enough power, but the Black Wolf would. Not sure what else out there does.

Shoot me a PM if youwant me to send them to you.

What does the expensive power tune from A of A consist of ? Isn’t it something a knowledgeable tuner could do themselves? What power does it come stock ?

My Sonoran is in the AoA service dept receiving the AoA power tune. This is what they told me: “The power tune comes with a 580cc instead of 480cc, they make a port larger increasing airflow to get the power from 75 ft-lbs to 90 ft-lbs. The trigger also gets a tune.” Right now they are actually upgrading the tank to 700cc for their upcoming Memorial Day sale.

Sub-Moa barrel also if I am correct.

The Sub-Moa is stock and included in the base price.

 

[Pesty3782]

Yeah, I just went to the AoA and read that.....

I don’t know. Daystate/brk just irks me. Always something to suck more money out of the consumer from things like this to over priced accessories. That gun should come out of the box 90 ft/lb capable.

@Linehauler73 To my understanding the Sonora is an experimental build put out to market by folks at AOA. The Sonora was not designed by BRK, however the Sniper (Sahara) platform was. There is no .30 in the BRK Sniper line that I’ve seen. BRK also has not been using SubMOA barrels. This may be AOA and SubMOA’s attempt to partner with Daystate/BRK. This is what I think. If I’m wrong on any points, someone please correct me.

It was posted somewhere that the Sonoran is a collaboration between Daystate/ Brocock, AoA and Sub-MOA.

My thought process is like this: who is buying this gun without a power tune?!?! The Ghost in.30 is a bit of a dog, and it can get up to 90+fpe with the heavier pellets. The Sonoran doesn't make sense without the power tune really. The Leishy's were one of the first to offer a SubMoa barrel....personally I hope SubMoa gets a barrel design for most pcps out there! Most manufacturers could use some more barrel options .

I would like the standard Sonoran, with the smaller bottle… 75 fpe is plenty for small to medium sized game. I like it in hunting configuration. Don’t want to heavy it up with the larger bottles. Though I concede that those who compete may have a need for the full power package. I like my bottles to be proportionate to the gun, irregardless of shot count… So the basic Sonoran, if I had to choose.
