Stoeger Stoeger. 22 bullpup

[Paulzoghbi]

Hello, I just purchased a Bullpup .22 Stoeger pcp and the guy who sold it to me told me that it's about 50 shots before air refill.
Strangely, I'm able to shot more than a 100 shots and the pressure gauge is still at 130 bars.
How can that be? Do I need to higher the spring hammer? I live in a country where it's hard to get good answers...
I noticed that the gun is shooting below the target at 60-70 yards far. At short distances I have no problem but the longer the distance the lower the target.
Please advise.
Thank you

You need to get a chronograph, all airguns will shoot lower at longer distances due to velocity slowing down..
But you need a chronograph in order to know what you need or want to do.

It’s possible, depending on where you live, that your rifle is limited in power. Some countries only allow lower powered airguns, unless you acquire the proper licensing. Lower power typically means more shots due to lower air usage per shot.

I think you are on the right track, I get 5 mags from my Bullshark before falling off the reg. Paulzoghbi's must be sub ?

Thank you for your reply. I guess the hammer spring was kind of loose so when I tightened it by turning it clockwise, the shot counts dropped to 60-70.

That’s great, did you notice a big change in shot velocity?

Yes big change.
