    xs78 tuning, any advice?

    Hey,

    After running my xs78 through a chronogaph i was appalled to see it was only running at just below 9 lb/f instead of the advertised 10.5 ( i have had it for a year now).
    I just wanted to know if there is anything I or a gunsmith can do to tune it and increase its power?

    Any advice very appeciated

    Dan

    It was so appalling that you didn't notice for a year? Hmm,...

    There are lots of tuning guides on the net, search for QB78. Be very careful because most of them are written by yanks who have no problem getting 16ftlb out of them so take it easy.

    Cheers for the advice guys, and i handnt noticed for a year becausei hardly ever use that rifle! Only reason i ran it through a chronograph was because it didnt feel right.

    Anyway cheers for the help

    Hi, ring Terry Robb (gunsmiths) on 01268 752888. He sells a kit that comes with a video to change the guts of the gun. This takes it up to full power.
