Excellent write-up, many thanks!
I had a 167 many many years ago, a local auction find, definitely wish I'd hung on to it. It was a second variant but the trigger was pretty good even on those. The 160./ 167 is one of the true CO2 classics.
Sorry, it's a field target term, it stands for World Field Target Federation which sets the rules for the world field target championship matches. One of the rules is power limit of 12 FPE, this is mainly because in most EU countries there is power limit of 12 FPE for airguns. It is very fun and challenging so highly recommend to give it try.qball what does wftf stand for. I know what wtf stands for lol.
Thanks Garey, now I know where the peep sight is located on my 167.
30gr at 930fps 130-140 bar for consistent STDI got huma reg on its way. Can you recommend what to set my reg at to shot 30gr around 950fps. Also got a tester at hand.
The BIGGEST difference would be the form factor, of course. You COULD put a RW in a chassis and that would narrow the differences dramatically. In Factory guise, the RW only has 3 pl's and you need a programmer to make changes beyond those three. I believe , but haven't seen anything in writing , that the DW can store 99 sets in Advanced mode, plus the Factory mode , so it's MUCH more versatile. The Heliboard changes all of that with from the trigger programming and control. In comparison , the reg on the DW is both a blessing and a curse. The RW w Heliboard is pretty much infinitely adjustable between the low and high for your particular setup. In 30 cal, Mine can go from likely below 12 ft lb to for sure 100 ft lb just by selecting pl and adjusting the voltage... Other calibers will have different limits based on projectile and porting in the barrel . The DW is similar for range but can achieve a little more top end. Mine was capable of 110 ft lb in 30 cal and for sure will go as low as 12 ft lb but possibly lower. The reg will narrow the range within it's set reg pressure though. Another big difference is efficiency. I struggle with visualizing a more efficient arrangement than the RW. It is a true free flight hammer with full bottle pressure to the valve. The DW valve, in contrast, is a semi-balanced arrangement that was designed around the bullpup form to have a LARGE range of power, but is much less efficient. This will translate to problems that occur with waste air... less shots per charge and potential projectile instability.Intriguing. Again, had no idea. So what is the advantage of the DW that would lead someone in that direction? Is it because of wider power range due to the regulator adjustment?
In your case, may I ask what caliber, and what is your power range at your regular setting using a particular pellet. For example, from 20 ft lbs to 40 ft lbs with a turn of the dial from min to max. That kind of range will give a sense.
It's due in Cali on Friday around noon.If it is UPS, i watch for it to come into my town and get loaded on the truck.
I worked for them for 37 years, so as soon as I see it has been loaded on the package vehicle, I'll either call my driver, or head to the building to grab it before the drivers leave....a benifit from working there soo long.
If it is Fed-ex ...then i just wait ...ugh
@Don.Chipmunk-slayer ..That is correct, they will only scan the trailers once the packed has been loaded...unless the trailer is completely emptied, then it will get another scan. probably 3-4 more days until another scan
I got huma reg on its way. Can you recommend what to set my reg at to shot 30gr around 950fps. Also got a tester at hand.Hey buddy nothing wrong with the factory agt reg they just don't works as they supposed to above 170 bar i messed up 1 of my factory agt reg because I was setting it up blind didn't have reg tester at that time.
Huma are great i fitted 2 regulators on my Vulcan 700mm and 500mm in .22 now i settled on 170 bar for the V700 and 175 bar for the V500 almost instant recovery and you can rebuild them with rebuild kit the sticker is not accurate so a regulator tester is needed
Will upload a video for you
I was surprised to see the price for the Titan 3-18 is close to $900.The Titan will blow it out of the water in every category, but by most accounts its a good scope for the cheap price.
