Steyr LG 110 High power hunter

[Biagio26]

Hi guys

first of all this rifle is great. 

Now my question, do I put an airstripper on the barrel or not? The gun works great without one, but will it make a difference if I put one on? Oh this is the 35 joule version, that is around 25.8 foot pounds

please leave your comments below.

Thanks

Biagio

How bout some pics?

I own two, one LG110 and one challenge, both .177 12 fpe with stock steyr air strippers. Stripper reduce muzzle flip only, so don't expect something magic. Above 12 fpe (16J) steyrs are damn jumpers

Have fun

A decent moderator/LDC/silencer will give you the same effect. I use a small ATEC moderator on mine and it is quiet and almost without recoil.

 

[Biagio26]

Mine has the shorter barrel, and it has quite a bit of recoil, which I love, I'm tired of shooting recoil less Rifles. There has to be a response from the rifle to let you know you have shot. 
I'll take some pictures tonight, and post them. Oh this rifle is my high power FT rifle, which I love.

Thanks for the response guys.

The poopty thing is that the Steyr air stripper is mounted on the outer diameter of the barrel, and the fact that a barrel bore can be off center quite a bit.
If that is the case, you're not shooting though the center of the hole in the stripper, and the airflow behind the pellet is not symmetrical anymore.
If the gun shoots fine without stripper, I'd leave it as is, or add a mini silencer like Tom said. (If allowed where you live of course)
Be aware that the already heavy bark of a Steyr will be even louder if you add an air stripper.
But they sure do look cool

Kind regards,

Gijs

Thanks guys, unfortunately there is no silencers allowed in Canada, don't get me wrong, I would love to have one. I don't get the stupid rules for air rifles in Canada.

I think I will leave it as is, it is sure a great and accurate rifle.

Sorry I'm a little late with the pictures, I've been a little bussy

here they are

the scope on this rifle, is a Hawke Sidewinder 4 - 16 x 50

In Canada I shoot Hunter Field Target with this beast of an air rifle

These fotos do not do the rifle justice

The pics aren't working unfortunately

They sure are very nice rifles! Own one myself and it's a keeper. For my next rifle I'm still doubting between a second Steyr for a fixed .177 setup or a decent .25 caliber.
Are you allowed to shoot HFT with 35 joules?

 

[Biagio26]

I noticed. How do you load pictures on to this forum?

Other forums is just attach the picture and load it up.

Yup no problem. We have heavier targets made for 30 joule and up. If you nick the kill zone you will not knock it over. They are very solid and 1/4" steel.

I also have a Steyr LG 110 FT Connect, in .177 sub 12 foot pound for WFTF shooting.

I'm thinking of selling it, and buy a LG 110 Hunter in sub 12 foot pounds.

Thanks for all the comments

Here are the pictures

An air stripper will increase accuracy. If it's machined correctly. Get a Hugget if you can.

I love the look of those Hunter models. Beautiful, i'm from BC as well that is a shame about our LDC, moderator rules here. 

 

[Hotbrass]

Fine looking gun.

 

[Biagio26]

Don't get me started on the whole airgun and ldc rules we have around here.

This is NOT a silencer ; in Germany they call it a 'compensator' (air stripper) .... made in Germany... tested with rimfire bullets which apparently get the groupings down...as per 2nd picture onleft - without, and then groupings on the right, with the IROSA compensator

Do not fall for the LDC will do the same as an air stripper. It "could" do the same thing with a LOT more design work and testing but 99% of the LDC units will not achieve less flip.

It may be each rifle would benefit from a slightly different stripper ( if needed) and if using a mass produced unit it needs to be very adjustable , like the above pictures tho I've no experience with that brand.

Interesting Kompensator

yea im sure those 12 fpe brittish air guns are hard to control....muzzle flip all over the place.

That said the Lapuas biathlon is my Anschutz favourite ammo. and thats a lot tighter of a grouping. I dont think me buying one and randomly mounting one would net me the same results. Biathlon is a bit louder than normal match ammo and i rather keep my silencer on for it.
