R11 and I spent several hours today trying different pellets and shooting through the chrony. Everything on the first target with all the writing was shot @ 10m off a set of trigger sticks. The other group was outside off the same sticks @21 yards with AA DIABOLOL FIELD 8.4gn pellets. The more I shoot this gun the more I REALLY LIKE IT! It is a sub 12ft/lb gun that is not twangy or pellet picky. Some pellets shoot better than others but most of the fliers are shooter error. The group at 21yards would have been a 1/2” but I dropped one.

Were these guns sub 12 ft/lb from the factory? I really don’t want to even take it apart and see since it’s such a sweetheart to shoot! Any tuning tricks if I were to ever decide to that anyone has had luck with? There’s really nothing for the R11/98 that I’ve seen as far as tune kits that interests me. Probably leave well enough alone, if it could shoot this easy at 19 ft/lbs I’d sell off several other spingers, lol!!

10fpe is slow for that rifle, did you buy it new? I did tune my old 77K down to that level one time, and it shot pretty sweet. But I ended up bringing it back up to 13fpe, which is also pretty sweet.
Your rifle should be the same as a HW95 from the factory, anywhere around high 13's to 15 fpe I would think.
JM has a few springs that would work, but you would probably need to make guides for it, and he has piston seals, as well as Vortek. TBT has kits also and you can contact him as well.

Living in the deep south, E Texas, it's hard for most of us to relate to those low temps. Reminds me of when I was called up for Desert Storm back in 91. We left San Antonio near midnight when temp was in mid 70's and very humid, landed in Gander, Newfondland next morning as sun was coming up and they said temp was -35 and do not touch the ramp rail getting off the plane unless you have gloves. Then back to low 60's and humid when we hit the UK about 6 hours later. A couple of weeks later we had extreme low temps there, cold enough to use the space between some storm windows in the RAF housing where we were billeted as a refrigerator. As long as wind stayed down the cold did not bother us much, and we did have a lot of snow in that period.

About 3 years ago we hit about -8 here in E Texas, lots of ice and snow, coldest I have ever seen in my 79 years in the deep south. Again if the winds were down, maybe a light breeze, and plenty of sun those days did not seem so cold. I did learn wind and cold do not mix.

It must sound crazy to a few but I can dress to cold. I only shoot 45 min. to an hour or so before I start to feel it. Take a break, switch guns or work on them. Then shoot again. I’m heavily protected from the wind.
A big bonus I can see where all shots go, misses and deflections with snow as a back drop. Crow
Forgot to send.
Busy with family today.
Merry Christmas everyone. All the best to you and your families.

Thanks, I’ll see what it looks like inside. Vortek only has sub 12 kits for it at the moment. I was thinking 10-12 fpe was slow. It’s just SOO smooth cocking and shooting.

FWB 300 S and an RWS 45. Actually the only 2 I presently own

I see this one on the TBT site, it sounds like full power.

My first coin worthy 10 string, almost.
Put a whiff of blue on the Williams elevation and windage screws after cleaning.
It’s only 45’ in the basement. Plenty of room for me to learn and smile.
Merry Xmas and happy holidays all.

No, I didn’t buy it new. I couldn’t leave it at my gun dealer’s shop after I laid eyes on it, lol!!

looking good, how do those baracuda 8's fit in your barrel, tight, loose , or just right? I can barely get them in my 30 barrel, is why I ask.
