Airforce Condor .257 Little Nasty ready to rock...

[shambozzie]

Got my .257 valve from Doug . This thing rocks. With my Tj 1-14 twist 24" bbl she push Griffin 68g hpbt 950 and more in tank. This group @ 85 yds. Need to head to chicken farm and cut her loose. Nice lite walk around gun.

Looks good. My top favorite gun to shoot long range, Doug Noble .257 condor. I prefer 32" barrel to get the slugs up closer to over 1000fps. Lower power tune is 61grn noe hp cast bullet at 1010fps. My scope chart looks like this, On same scope settings I can shoot from 65 yards to 326 yards..no clicking scopesjust hold over. plenty for hunting.

Very nice setup you have. Varmints need another zipcode around you.

Nice - love the AF platform. I set up a condor with his valve / hammer / spring / breech slide and a .257 27" tj - it is a treat to shoot. I really feel it in my thumb at higher PW settings - needs a lot of force to cock. I think last i shot it I was getting over 160fpe. I don't remember what projectile that was with.

Cocking not bad as pw on 0. Doug recommend more pressure and less pw to keep cocking effort low. Pw 0 to 4 for adjustments.

Sweet! Long range is incredible. I have one of Doug's builds in a .257. Ill never sell it! If you happen to find a Doug build, Keep it. Mine looks kind of similar. Nicks 65 grain boat tail was the ticket but he doesn't make them anymore since he moved. Griffin 64 gr. is pretty darn close and it works. Met Doug for some repairs. Very good guy
