Others Talon P for $299

[PasadenaMike]

Yeah…. You got me…. Again….

I wouldn’t announce it if it’s not worth it

 

[Rwjeter]

I’ve never had an Airforce. Looking forward to trying one. I was hoping to get a Texan SS .457 with CF bottle. But, this was the number 2 choice of the line up.

You’ll appreciate a gun that’s not air hungry . Did you get a .25 or .22? Make sure you start on a low power setting and chronograph the gun and see where the sweet spot is on a chosen ammo. If you don’t like the velocity or accuracy then go up or down as needed. I wouldn’t go to max you’ll be wasting air. I’m on 3 on my talon 0 and it’s at 900 fps with hades

.25. Only because they don’t offer .30.

I’ll definitely take your advise. I’ve heard they can waste a lot of air on the higher settings. I also ordered a DonnyFL adapter so I can throw a moderator on too. Escape SSS…… I’m sure it’s overkill, but I like the quiet. And should be an easy night carry for dillo and possum without disturbing the neighbors. My others are just a little unwieldy.

Yeah it’s a light weight gun that offers a ton of power. You’ll probably get 10 very consistent shots. The 25.39 pellets are probably ok but will be too fast so try the 33.95 jsb pellets instead. You may need adjustable scope mounts or a 20 moa dovetail to pic adapter

Well, I almost was good this year. Then I logged on here. And @PasadenaMike sabotaged me. I saw this post and missed the TalonP but ended up with an Escape SS. And an FX True Ballistics.

I have had both and I like the Escape SS better myself. I have one in .22 and another in .25. It likes both weights of JSB pellets.

 

[Chief55]

Yeah Mike convinced me about 6 months ago that Airforce is a good choice for me because I am a casual shooter. I relax and take my time to enjoy the whole experience. I like the power I can get from them. I also like that they are built like a tank and reliable but many versions start out at 4 pounds. I like it so much that I bought an Escape UL .25 that should get here this afternoon. It will be like a Condor SS when I put my Talon Tunes shroud on it. It will take the place of my Condor which is amazing but I am having so much trouble with tendonitis that it is just not practical for me, so the Escape models are what I enjoy shooting now days and I will sell the Condor if someone else can make better use of it. It's like a Star Wars blaster; you can feel the force.

 

[PasadenaMike]

Folks if you’re looking to get into the AF guns @Chief55 has an immaculate condor for sale. I’ve dealt with him before. He’s an awesome guy and takes care of his guns.
Airforce Condor .22 like new. There is nothing wrong with this gun. Your choice, you can have it with the original factory tank or with a 4500psi regulated tank, you pick. I will pay for shipping, and insurance with signature required. PayPal friends and family only. In Conus lower 48 only.

I was wondering where you went Welcome back. I (believe it or not!!) got the wifes ok last night on the Condor on sale but I actually turned it down. It would go something like this: I'd buy it, shoot it, like it. Then I'd mod the grip out, order a reg, grab a different bottle, get the orifice kit. I'd tinker and play and double my money into it. After all that I'd look at my Ghost and S510 and realize they come with 11/10round mags and are still better for pesting. Absolutely sweet & simple guns though.
Oh one more thing: I'd finally buy one and then a few months later AF would come out with an all new or improved condor and I'd cry. Alot

Yeah, I took a little bit of a hiatus. Spent some money on powder burners and bushcraft stuff. Now back to the fabulous world of air power. I think I got a little discouraged at how heavy and unwieldy my rifles were. Though my Benjamin is still lights out on a bench. I think this Escape SS should be just the ticket. Too I had been procrastinating on getting a better Chrono for the hobby. Magneto speed was great for quick verifying speeds before a powder burner comp. But with airguns, I think the True Ballistic is going to really encourage me to spend the extra time.

Ah I feel that, fed up with my ProChrono currently. It's a fair weather tool only Bought a new phone and lost the saved info when I lost the app sadly. Redoing it will be fun but it's winter here now which means no go on the chrono Will mount some LEDS and test it with that. It's great when it's working...

Yeah, I kept looking at it because the price was so nice…. But I knew I’d never be happy. Came close to buying a Garmin. But I really liked that the FX would give BCs and speeds (power at hunting distances) at multiple ranges. Not just muzzle velocity.

I picked up one in .25 from UA on sale w/free shipping. Also bought their carbine stock. Added a DonnyFL thread adapter and their Emperor .25/.30 can. Talon Tunes hammer mod, 1-4X Bushnell illuminated German 4A reticle scope, Keystone Accuracy mount. Looking forward to Spring cleaning.

 

[Firewalker]

I am sure they are great but I just can not put the looks of those gun in the rear view.
even at 299.00 I just can't do it : (
if I was sobering drunk I don't know but even then like the cyote I would chew my leg off to escape at daybreak ;\

Same here, too bad they don't employ people with any style sense.

 

[JimT66]

Well, I for one like them, and gonna snatch one up. Just waiting on a good sale.

Me too, missed this $299 sale.

 

[tovaert]

Only ever owned a Diana 34 and Weihrauch HW90, so I thought I have what looks like a pretty cool package. The only thing I'd change is to increase the tank diameter about 3/4" and increase the length by 1.5". Would roughly double the capacity and still a compact package.

Edited: Also just bought a Diana Chaser CO2 rifle/pistol kit in .22.

I have been considering a Talon P as an investment in simplicity, despite their looks and awkward optics mount. I want a more traditional look stock than their own. To all you Airforce fans: Who do you recommend for an aftermarket stock for the P?

I bought the one sold by Utah Air for the TalonP. It's made of Kydex. I can't compare it to the one sold by AirForce, which I believe is aluminum..

I like maddog stocks for my airforce guns.
