Short Stroke v Long Stroke

[maximus]

As a minority long stroke fan I suppose that I would say that long strokes are more pleasant my 80 is a pleasure to shoot with its full stroke, its soft smooth and so easy to cock and all I have done to it in 16 years from new is debure, polish, relube and a custom spring guide, I would say it's not so noisy at the mussel as the 15.5 in barrel 34, the 80 is 16 in barrel, I have just shot over 10 shots after not shooting it for over a year and the fps were very consistent and it was accurate at a close range test. It is just under 11 ft/lb with .22 JBS.
Is your 34 a T01 as the stroke is a few mm longer than the T06.

Hi Barry, yes a T01. I have 3 80's, the, 20mm short stroked 22, a 15mm stroked 177 and a standard stroke 177. I have three because I like fiddling with them but I kept one standard (except for fitted guides) so I could compare after I had altered the others! Like the 80 thread says, there is something about them!! Same with rapids and Diana 34's for me too.
