Others Ever since owning only AF guns

[Billm]

You missed one thing (that no one seems to talk about) how's the accuracy! As an owner of 3 high end, silly accurate (Ghost is off and on) airguns, would I, could I?? be happy with the accuracy of a Condor? If it's inaccurate it doesn't earn it's keep as I'll never use it for pesting.

It’s accurate. More accurate than I thought it would be. I’ve shot sub 1” groups with it a 50yds. I was the limiting factor. No cheek weld. Considering it’s a 12” barrel.

 

[PasadenaMike]

AF never claims these guns to be match grade. They’re hunting guns. Every ground squirrel that got their brains mangled by my Talon P never complained. Honestly a “light weight” Atomic still felt heavier than my Talon P walking around . I never felt that single loading and 7 good shots weren’t enough . Ask the ground squirrels they’re literally dying to get a taste of the lead sandwiches served by the Talon P.

And they are easy to refill in the field. At a range you can always connect it to a large tank but I myself like to relax and just take my time. I shoot my ten shots, fill the gun, check the target while the compressor is cooling off for a few minutes then rinse and repeat. I don't go through a bazillion pellets and I have a great time. If you really want to have fun with it put a 5x20 Zulus on it with the range finder and bullet drop compensator and be amazed. No guessing where to aim, dead on every shot, as well as night vision that is awesome for protecting the chicken coop. lol

Yeah, the accuracy is mind blowing for so short a barrel, over 50fpe, through a very basic can, on a tripod, tethered, 3x scope with a thick reticle, at 53y, I can shoot groups that I can hide under a nickel. I am very happy with that! They've got the barrels figured out, that's for sure.

I’ll eventually try my DNT TNC225R on my TalonP.

Good to know, guys....in the battle of outdated vs. modern airguns, to me anyways, if it's still accurate - it's still relevant! I'd love to get the AF owners perspective and see why they don't improve their amazing pcps Would I pay a few $100 more for the niggles all fixed? YES!!
So the full length condor would net a bunch more S-P-F of course....anyone know what a .25 would get roughly (bone stock) shooting a 33gr .25 pellet from a full bottle? I don't hate unregulated, but I do hate 10 shots per fill

Is that with the full throttle open transfer port they come with? Or one of the reduced aperture transfer ports?

Stock jet on power 1 or 2 I haven’t looked for a while with an 18 inch barrel

I glanced at the one sitting on my bench right now, and looks like they come with a wide open, full throttle jet.

Yeah that’s what they come with. It’ll be interesting to experiment with the jet kit

 

[pan60]

I have tried but I just cant find any love for these
they offer nothing for me
I hate the looks where the bottle is the single shot all of it I just have no love for these guns.
it saddens me since so many others love them so.

They are certainly a function over form situation.

Can't say that I love the aesthetics, but there some worthwhile trade-offs with the AF guns, when compared to many of the guns that follow the latest trends in what's cool and popular looking.

 

[pan60]

maybe I need to a few few shots?
LOL

rose colored glass's

not trying to beat on them I know they get a lot of love.

Airforce makes some of the best hunting pcp from mice up to the largest in North America.

I thought they were ugly at first too but then it dawned on me. They are Star Wars blasters and then a peaceful calm came over me. May the Force be with you.

Honestly they remind me of the Sub in 20,000 leagues under the Sea....haven't seen that one in a while! I don't think there ugly at all....just found out the length of a full size condor., not bad at all, my S510 is far longer! Hmmmm

 

[PasadenaMike]

get a red or blue one nobody will call the cops saying “there’s a guy with an assault weapon” it’s a super soaker

 

[Grunt64]

It’s accurate. More accurate than I thought it would be. I’ve shot sub 1” groups with it a 50yds. I was the limiting factor. No cheek weld. Considering it’s a 12” barrel.

That's a good group considering a 12' barrel!
