PP700W pistol

[Iain K D]

Wonder why they've omitted sights when it looks like a match pistol!

Looking at the power, and shot count, that the non-UK versions claim I wonder if target shooting is (pun alert) what this is aimed at?

UK-spec version appear to be advertised at 5.5 ft.lbs and as suitable for 'All round target' and (their words, not mine) 'Vermin control'.

I just posted this on another UK site, sorry to all who are members to both for the repeat posting.
I ordered a PP700W yesterday with a red dot sight. The pistol was $319 and the red dot was $49.
I have been reading up on it and I just wanted a PCP pistol that was not as much as my rifle. There is a great write up and some excellent pictures on the Dutch site

Thanks to Jameswrx and Honest Bob for the link and the help
I will do a trigger job on it as soon as I get it. I will do some shooting before I take it apart, and get an idea of the trigger pull.
Cheers

Been a while since I visited here. I see the PP700w is on the scene here. So, a link to a review: http://www.airgunsarp.com/2016/01/28...ch-pcp-pistol/

Here in the States it seems to take a while for the boat to arrive then for product to clear customs. the U.S vendor had them on pre-order sale for $319.00 USD shipped. The gun looks like a copy of the Kalibrgun Ocelot, which runs $9995.00 USD. I figured I'd treat myself to one as a birthday gift. Package tracking says it will be here on Wednesday. The review of the features, and especial the tuning ability of the gun is what made me decide to take a chance on this brand. Here it's called the Airmax Precision PCP. Have to love the marketing angle of the name. Now i"m off to find a decent pistol scope.

Yikes, over 12 ft.lb out the box for the US version! Interesting link though re. adjustment of the transfer port to tune it down.

I can see myself adjusting not only the transfer port but also the regulator, not to mention the obligatory hammer spring tension adjustment. The Brocock Grand Prix I had gave me 22 sweet spot shots with the 18 grain JSP pellet (with no tweaking), and one-hole accuracy at 30 yards. That is my benchmark and I hope to increase the shot count to maybe 30 good shots at 12 fpe. I wonder if I can adjust the gun to be as efficient with 16 grain pellets? It ought to be fun to find oot.

sorry if this thread is old but I bought 2 of these yesterday.

I am very impressed with them. superb build quality, good shot count and accurate out of the box..

the gun smith that i bought them from is already modding them with hw barrels and threading them to use with a hw mod which makes them almost silent

there is also talk of putting a stock on it and making it 12ftlb legal rifle.

all in all I'm impressed if anyone has modded these and wish to share ideas give me a pm

also if anyone has any ideas to make the standard shroud a but quieter let me know

[darryl]

owners are reporting good out-of the-box accuracy here too. Also the build quality is very good. My sample is no exception. I do find that at it's lightest setting, the trigger is good. Not great, but good. The pistol is a bit loud. Odd, how some airguns makers design shrouds/moderators as an afterthought with just enough efficiency to muffle the "crack". I suppose there are a lot of factors that go into the decision-making process. Obviously I wish it were more quiet, but I wish that for every gun I own. Don't want to rile the neighbors.

Anyway, the gun is a very good buy for it's features at it's price point. Well done!
