TalonP accuracy.

I bought mine as a complete frame from airforce and bought a 12" 20 cal barrel instead of the 25. I was getting good accuracy and decent shot count. A member here on AGN told me how to put an O-ring behind the top hat to help with consistency. Now I'm getting regulator type consistency. If you want you can PM me and I can get the exact size of the oring you need. Just search condor oring top hat trick here and you can read how and why it works but the short answer is that when the tank is full it is harder for the valve to open and the top hat doesn't get pushed as far as the oring and when the tank is lower and the top hat is opening alot more the oring bounces the top hat back and prevents the valve from staying open too long saving alot of air. It won't make your gun more accurate but it will get you lots more shots on the string that are accurate. 

I got the Talon Tunes TalonP. The Burris 1-4X MTAC scope that I had laying around was lonely and needed a companion. So the TalonP is the perfect fit.

I probably won't do any shooting past 50-75 yards with this setup.

The only pellets that I could get for it in the weight range that I wanted was the H&N Baracuda Hunters weighing at 27.47 grains. I didn't bother to change the settings that Tony had selected. The pellet leaves the muzzle at an average of 864 FPS for a 15 shot string. That's 44.7 FPE at the muzzle. At a 50 yard zero it's retaining almost 28 FPE.

In the photo below the left target has 20 shots at 50 yards. I could probably shrink the groups with a little tweaking and higher power scope. The center target was shot at 25 yards for 20 shots. 

I wanted to see what would happen at 25 yards with a 30 shot string with the target on the right. As you can see the last ten shots were really low. Regardless of that, they still pack a punch for that last ten shots. If I'm down to that many left, aiming a little high isn't a problem.

I have not had a chance to hunt with it yet but plan on eradicating groundhogs this summer where I cannot use a PB and the distance is short.

Like I said, the scope is a Burris 1-4X. The rings are the FX no limit rings. I put a buck-rail forearm on the carbine as it is longer, wider and more comfortable to hold. I'll put the links below for the rings and forearm. The camo is what the best dressed air-gunners are wearing these days.

The entire package is less than 34 inches long and weighs 5.84 pounds.



In the photo below, the pellet on the left is unfired. I recovered the one on the right from a water-filled milk jug at 100 yards. The expansion, if you could call it that, is unimpressive. However, for a 100 yards shot, I'm impressed. At that distance the retained energy is a little less than 18 FPE. It might have been much less than that as this was one of the last pellets that I shot when the tank pressure was getting really low.

I use the FX rings on all of the AirForce rifles. They are high enough took get your head in a comfortable position to look through the scope. You will not have to contort your head and neck to get into a good position for a good cheek weld and proper eye relief.

Let me know how the rings work for you if you get them.

That is quite the rifle. I’ve always liked the looks of the Air Force guns.
