Got the fill adapter and moderator adapter.

Kind of a pain to load the magazine. Pellets flop back and forth or out. Only holds 8 pellets.

Started with Barra "The Mule" 19.9gr. Nice tight 1/2" groups at 45 yards even with me shaking. Chrony, not so much 740FPS.

Went to the H&N Field Target Trophy 14.3gr. Same tight group and 825FPS. Chrony wasn't liking all the day light so I couldn't get a string. But it is definitely happier with lighter pellets.

Light, accurate and gorgeous.

Nice...👍👊
Mine likes the 14.3 Premiers from a while back... just happen to have a good stash. It also likes JSB 13.4s and 15.89s as much. VERY accurate ... Mine is about 19 ft lb.

Interesting thing, most of my unregulated ag's are filled to 2300 to 2600. It had been a while since firing mine so I filled to 2300 and it took 75 shots to come to peak at 1700 psi. I fill to 1800 now and can get 40 shots with pretty low es at 19 ft lb... pretty crazy because that's not much air...

Are you sure that tripod is sturdy enough ? Wouldn't want that beautiful gun to slip .

I just kept it on the tether at 2800psi.
When I'm playing with the chrony or accuracy I like to remove the variable of bottle/tube pressure.

If i were a hunting guy that would probably be what I used walking about. So light. Would have to buy more magazines because I sure wouldn't watch to try to reload those mags outside.
