Got a new toy toy in the mail today! I'd wanted an Eliminator in .20 ever since watching Kevin shoot his .25 on the Pellets and Pistons YouTube channel. After a member here graciously offered to let his go I couldn't get my wallet out fast enough.
I opened the box and the seller had gone above and beyond and shipped it in a protective hard case. When I opened it I was definitely taken back for a moment. He had sent plenty of pictures but they didn't do this thing justice. It is beautiful in person!
Well as soon as I was done cleaning the drool off of myself and the floor I took it over to the shooting bench. I went to cock it and the barrel cracked open just a hair. I pulled hard and nothing. Pulled harder with both hands and FINALLY it cocked back. Loaded up a pellet and shot it. It was loud lol. Definitely not an HW30S. I pulled the valve plug on the back and released a couple spurts or air. Cocked it again (still a beast but manageable for my little arms) and shot one over the chrono.
NEARLY 29FTLBS! Thats awesome but I don't need all of that. I proceeded to release air and chrono it until cocking it was more manageable but still put out some impressive numbers. I ended up right at ~24fpe. Still not an all day shooter but at least I can cock it easily enough now. I'll probably end up bringing it down to Hunter Class power levels around 19.5fpe. That will be easy on the arms and still a pretty decent laser.
Here are my first 30m groups with the Crow Mag shooting the JSB 13.4gr pellets. Grouping pretty well for a "new" gun IMO
