The rifle now on it's Sixth season of use still has it !! Tho modified from it's original set up it still has a Balanced valve ( Tho modified ) and a slew of other refinements it still remains a VERY viable pesting machine.
Out came the most recent "Karma" .25 test barrel & Back In went the proven LW 12G no choke .177 barrel. No mechanical changes required outside of the obvious Barrel/Probe, but also a matched tapered transfer port to maintain shot efficiency and chop the dwell further.
Muzzle report is just silly, sounds like a 12fpe gun with an LDC ... a mild Puff is all you hear.
Reg bumped up @ 150 psi to @ 1900 psi we're slinging NSA 15 grain Slugs @ 1025 fps for 35 fpe
It shoots so flat the hold over at 80 yards is still +/- a squirrels back height .... See it hit it accurate too !
I'm soooo looking forward to few days in the Alfalfa fields shooting the Bending GS's starting in @ 4-6 weeks.
In recent years the $$$ of shooting .17 HMR had become so prohibitive at near $20 per 50 rounds, the use of high power, high speed AG's is becoming more the desired weapon. ( So longs as winds stay mild )
All these years of new guns coming to market, found few that can run with these these rigs ... Ugly they are but function over looks works just fine
