    I can answer that one , My full length TX tune, has less movement than the LGU tune, as all the parts are bespoke, so I am not constrained by the original design, that sounds a bit poncy, the original is a good design, I was trying to make the lgu tune I do to be as easy as possible so there is less work involved, so its a compromise.

    I think if I put the same spec as the TX in the LGU it would be awesome, but it would have to use all my own parts.

    My 77 has the least movement of all my rifle tunes, though some people don't like it as it feels like a gas ram . its so quick.

    Hi Nick,
    That sounds ideal, if you've shot my Venom Ultra glide you know that's very quick due to the alloy piston, a similar result to yours I suspect.
    Iirc it had the shortest lock time from those tested in the tests done at the bash with the resonance/recoil rig.
    I have had people say it was too quick for them, but minimising hold sensitivity is the goal for HFT as long as accuracy is good with no fliers or fps variations.

    Cheers

    That 50mm spinner looks challenging. No I'm only kidding of course Good shooting and an exceptional rifle, you must be chuffed with how your LGU has turned out Derek

    That would give a guide to hold sensitivity.

    Finally got round to doing this yesterday although I didn't video it.

    It is still as accurate although I miss a little more mainly due to the butt of the rifle being in my shoulder rather than rested on the gun rest. However - it is still pretty easy to shoot the 60 yard springers with this gun and I nailed it 5 times in a row once I got used to it

    Thanks Neil, sounds like an ideal spring class HFT gun if the stock suits the shooter.

    Cheers
