Anschutz Anshutz 8002 power increase

[Welldone]

I have a 8002 .177 caliber that literally shoots one hole groups at 20 yards. I have used it for mainly indoor silhouette practice. I have read before that this rifle can have power increased by changing some reg parts. Is this true and does anyone know who “ the man” is that could handle this tweaking?

Try contacting Motorhead, he might be able to help you.

Also Alan Zasadny is capable as I had mine upped to 16 fpe capability but keep at 12 fpe …. But it takes a long time for AZ to complete the job

I responded NO .. as there valve and plenum are super small .. there a purpose built 10m rig.

If AZ has some Tricks up his sleeve .. a Rabbit in his hat ? ... he is your guy

Definitely had some AZ magic going on but at >16 fpe accuracy suffered at <12 fpe she’s a shooter! In retrospect I might have been better to leave it at 6 fpe for 10 meters
by the way - this gun is soooo quiet you think it’s broken

Yea some of the STEYR Lg-100 & 110's reacted similar. Came as 12fpe rigs and when bumped to 20 fpe specs accuracy waned
Likely a barrel twist thing

I’m learning to leave “well enough“ alone
especially as an end user

I think it is a better call to sell the 10M rifle, and get a factory made high power rifle. As discussed, the barrels is also usually unique to that application. In my opinion, if you add up parts, labor, and time, the classifieds are better option.
I had a HP Anschutz and HP Walther. Both were excellent, very robust. I had 2 AZ Steyrs, and I I did not like either. LG100, Lg110. I think the basic Steyr design was too touchy. Steyrs were disappointing for the money. To be clear, I think AZ is first rate, but the Steyr platform is over designed. Good luck.

Allen will probably refit a Steyr HP valve.

I’m not going to take a chance and ruin my 8002. It’s just too good of a shooter to mess with. I shot it for the “one hole challenge” here on AGN. 5 shots at 16 yards that measured 5.07 on the outside. That was a very satisfying day. I’m looking at the TM1000 that Martin is making now. Any thoughts on that gun or others for HFT.

You can’t go wrong with a TM1000 built by Martin!
