JTS They did it too...

I just wish some company in America would start carrying all the snowpeak line I have several and they both shoot as accurately as my daystate revere with no issues so far
I had a notos and it was great, just too plastic for me. I had a gen 1 stormrider that had the jerky bolt issues. I just ordered a 30 cal m60b from Wes, hoping that will be a good one. It's got the upgraded fill setup already. He recommended the 30 over 357 for the better velocity, which I wanted anyways since I had a 357 I built and 150 fpe for 30 yard squirrels is WAY too much lol.

The m60b is anemic in 357, but the 30 should be around 800 fps with 50 grain. Waiting on gun and pellets, see which shows up first!

please let me know how you like the m60 in 30 caliber.. do you think it can be turned up to shoot jsb around 950?.. and how many shots per fill? it's got the bottle so I assume around 25? Wes is really good to deal with..

Not sure on the shot count, but I thought the 500cc bottle will do 60 shots in 25, so probably 40 or so in 30 cal. 357 is around 25 shots.

I'm sure I will modify mine after a bit, and see if I can squeeze out 90 fpe.
 
The plenum over the barrel concept is a good idea The bolt I can't figure out, seems to be a step back over the side lever cocking arm. Too bad it's not a straight pull bolt like the Zebroia. I'm glad to see a sporter style offering in walnut rather than the trend toward the tactical m-4 platform.
I think this StealthHawk is geared towards firearms folks first of all. Sort of copying the same look and feel as a regular bolt action rifle IMHO. I agree that it looks good, but the problem is that this plenum over the barrel is not really upgradable or modifiable, and you are stuck with the rifle as it is for the rest of its life. Most people here like to mod their airguns though. I'd say it's an excellent rifle for transitioning from firearms to airguns, but for "late game" not so.

Shot count has never been a big deal for me but I know it is for a lot people. How many shots do these over the barrel tube guns get say in 30 ft lbs .22 cal?
seems like most .. fx drs, jts and barra..I'm guessing I missed at least one, are around 20-30 shots per fill. like the drs, short barrel is closer to 20 and the 700mm barrel is I think over 30 of course the length of the barrel changed the length of the air tube since it is around it..
the Drs and jts look to me to have the largest air tube.the barra seems like it uses some of the barrel length up in pelenium, where the jts and Drs appear to put it elsewhere.
I keep looking at the Drs and it looks good but it's pricey.. think I'll wait to hear how people like the jts and barra.. and I think they are going to be out towards the end of the year

I am trying to decide if I should wait for the jts or get the barra. I'm assuming the jts will take my airacuda standard magazines which is a plus. I'm happy with 30 to 40 shots. But could really do 20 for my uses I'd prefer to be at the 40 fpe range with the .22 my airacuda standard is right around 36 fpe but I haven't tried slugs since they recommend against it for some reason
 
Same here 33.8 in .25 not otherwise a jts fanboy
I became a dealer a month ago. Did not even order anything yet and I’ve made the decision to drop them. Multiple reasons personally. I now went AEA for pellets only, mainly because it made more sense for me. Shipping is low because they come out of NY. But business wise Predator is much nicer to deal with.
