Spent the morning center punching starlings at the dairy farm. This is my baby and shoots like a PCP in the accuracy department with 13.7 JSBs.

Sunnen honed and buttoned compression tube, buttoned piston, custom Jan Kranner stainless trigger and guard, CS thumbhole stock! Am I forgetting anything Lol
17 foot pounds of laser beam air rifle!

She's not just another pretty face. Seventeen fpe out of 20 cal 97 is quite impressive.

When Paul first built this back in 2008 it was a smooth 15fpe. A couple years ago she started loosing her punch. I took it down and lightly honed the compression tube with scotch Brite installed a VAC seal and a new hornet kit. Added the stock and the trigger from my old yellow forum stash and Walla she really woke up. 750 average with JSBs.

Impressive is right! A forever gun.

Haven't had it out in a while so I took a few shots to check zero and still spot on.
Then ran 10 across the chrony! High of 754 and a low of 746. Still really consistent for a 2005 springer.
