Plus or minus 1/2 gr

Hopefully they will start carrying more parts.

A dime sized group is sufficient for my style of shooting which is mainly Starling elimination.

I would not accept a rifle with mismatched rails, out of line grooves or any other similar. Especially at that price but really, no price.

This post question is for the guys that own expensive airguns and anyone that just knows. If a man that is not rich was to have saved his money till he had $2000 , and was asking for advice , and even it's twice that much what air rifle would he buy , and oh yeah just for target shooting I can't kill animals anymore it's just not in my heart. Not competition either just a really nice well made dependable air rifle. What is the rifle you would have bought the first time if you knew.
Thanks for your advice.

OldVet - are you looking for a "black rifle" (ie short AR style) or are you a traditional walnut and steel bolt/lever action?

Thank you gentlemen for the quick responses and to Joe with the lead to the UK airgunforum.

I finally was successful in the complete tear down of this model, woohoo! Now that its done I must say it is a rather simple airgun to tear down, biggest issue was not knowing proper procedure. Once inside I found a broken spring, with a bad double cant to itself along with an extreme case of dried up tar. Now it's time to order some new parts and a Lube tune.

This 55N is a beautiful rifle, much looking forward to shooting this gun!

Thanks once again gentlemen!
Cheers

Congratulations that's awesome

I don't remember seeing a grub screw on my Mk1. I'll look tomorrow. Wicking green loctite will fix that if it don't

This thing is lots of fun

This listing has been renewed

My setup

Ha! Excellent shot on that hyper lil vole! Small pests like these, mice, and rats are just plain tough and fun to snipe, they are usually what seems to be on meth, always moving....! Nice pic.

Yes , mine came from AG Arizona that way

Have anyone tired the Custom Airseals breech seal for the Gamo Mag.

I screwed it up and Lou fixed it … again. He deserves the thanks.

If not available, try the anodized paint, it may work great. I have some, but I have not used it yet.

Have any of the vendors posted the specs on the .25 cal mordax venom? Would like to know the fpe on the .25

Appreciate everyone's input. I was thinking about the 22 as being better due to the increase you get in optimal number of shots. When we go out we might take a solid 60 shots over a hunt. I think you can still make that happen in a .25 though. Anyone have suggestions on ammo?

Don't EVEN ask about ammo before you have gun in hand. Once you know EXACTLY what your equipment will be you can question other owners what works well in theirs. Even then, your mileage may vary. Such are the idiosyncrasies of airguns but without even knowing what you WILL be getting is a lost cause. Some guns will shoot just about everything OK others, not so much. You'll have to have gun in hand to find how finicky (or not) it will be.
"JimD" tried explaining this earlier in this thread.

No such thing as best as each have there own application.
question should be more like what pcp would be best for this application.
its not what you say, its how you say it.

Thanks Tim!!

I use a Huggett Atom or Belita on my .22 compact bt, depending on the tune. I also have used a donnyfl Tatsu, but prefer the Huggetts.
