What power output do they claim when they sell it in the UK?

Cheers

Hi all,
just this second got off the phone with Edgar bros armourer, his reply "oh thats too low, take it back to the shop if they can't change it, it'll have to come back for repair"

re the scope, its ideal up to 25 yds and the 1.75 is very good in 5 yd type situations, anything larger would be overkill.

Let us know how you got on Steve as I am also intrigued about this gun in the big calibre. Andy

Hi All,
Well just got it back this morning with the power reset by the importer, apparently they had a delay waiting for information from the manufacturer, but I had a phone call Wed to say it was being done that afternoon & a call from the shop Fri to say it was back.

Straight off it feels a totally different rifle to shoot, there is a slightly more pronounced recoil kick, but not to the extent of feeling at all harsh, very similar to my old TX200,
but god what a difference in perfomance !

I put 5 through the chrono to get a speed for "chairgun" which said increase zero range from 21yds to 24.5yds for the best PBR. First group was still 4" high from the old zero!

One very interesting fact is that at the lower power it seemed quite pellet fussy with only the Marksman no3 giving consistant groups, now every pellet is grouping much tighter, I think the Marksman has still just got it, but the H+N FTT is mighty close. Also the 2 heavy Bisley pellets have halved the holdover required. PBR is now 6-27yds

Muzzle velocity is pretty much 60 fps better across the board and chrono figures are now at a level that require very close monitoring, rangeing from 11.4lbft - 11.8lbft, so it may yet need to be turned back down a bit.
Can't wait to take it out in the fields & woods tomorrow.
steve.
Forgot to add, when weighed the Bsa Pylarm is actuly 21.2 grains not the 18.6grain as stated on the tin so the old muzzle energy raised from 8.2lbft to 9.3 lbft.

When you said ".....power reset by the importer...." what exactly do you mean?
New spring, coils cut off, tuned, new rifle, turned button up a notch?
Please explain.
I am thinking of a Hatsan .25 cal and I would like to know what to expect.
Many thanks.
