I had know idea the amount of information that was available for the Zulus. There is a ton of information and those post are much better than the actual user manual.
Thank you again for the link and helping for a much better understanding.

My Condor will put unleaded pellets in one ragged hole at 25m (H&N FTT Green and Baracudas, GTOs, any caliber), but by 50 yards the best I've seen is an inch, and that is with .25. I'm playing around with NOE cast tin pellets (recycling all those unleaded pellets in my trap), but am still trying for consistently cast, and am not yet at consistently shot. They make .22 and .25 wadcutter molds. My test of the .25 was the cast pellets were inaccurate in all guns at all speeds. That mold was re-sold right here on the AGN (with full disclosure), thank you! Maybe it will work better casting lead. I haven't shot the .22 wadcutters yet.

Regarding price, I've seen .177s on sale at 2 to 3 cents a pellet (Midway, Daisy), and .22s at 5 cents.

yes buying direct from Daisy is best price but shipping i don't know , and i haven't seen any reviews .although i haven't looked yet

We should do HFT the same way they do it in the UK IMO.

Got the .25 with .22 kit , some extra mags , and some .25 pellets as i have never had 25 before . Hit today , packaged well , no damage and all included that was suppose to be .

Wood is cheap n ugly , oiled it already to darken it , stock too wide up front , fitment is 3rd grade level . Shroud feels like tin foil , and all that is metal looks plastic . Threads on all are coarse , it holds like a rock , no consideration of off hand shooting . Not heavy but feels it , doesnt hold well . From 3 feet she looks sweet .

Gauges all over the place , could be cause fresh , wandering or just slow as Hell reg gauge .

Came set at 2800 psi on a 4100 psi fill .

Left it alone .

Cleaned and lubed it , mounted good scope . Fore end too wide for my Stinger , holds but not well .

Trigger is fine , 1/2 pound too heavy for precise work , but good for hunting n plinking , left it alone .

Action changed to left side . Smooth as can be , no pressure compared to my bolt guns , very slick . Mags work just fine , load easy with the big .25 pellets and my old eyes can actually see them and can feel them without looking , i like that .

Pellets feed smooth as i could want , lever locks down just right .Like the last shot lock out , good feature .

Sent 25 or so pellets out to nowhere , seasoning bore and getting trigger oull down . Sighted in scope . Was raining and nasty gloomy , could only shoot at 30 yards tonight , under cover of my pop up canopy .

Wont bore you with it all , but at tune it came with , which is hot , it threw the light pellets near 1100 fps and all over the map . 1 inch groups at 30 yards.

do not want to fool with rag or hammer until I've run a tin or two through it so I pulled some other weight pellets.

The JSB MKII 33.95 grainers were a thing of beauty . Fed like glass , nice brisk report , the correct sound , and literally stacked pellets on top of each other . Pellet flight was stable . Shot 4 5 shot one hole groups and some on a know your limits steel hanger , which it smacked !

Action is good nuff to fire a fast second or not move much on the bench when racked .

Was so nasty out chrono only got 2 shots , 844 and 843 with the 33.95 ers , about 53 fpe i think .

Dont know where hammer spring is , but reg at 2750 to 2800 when it finally settles. gage just has to be slow to respond because the shots are absolutely accurate and I can tell they're running the same speed..

so other than the way it looks and feels which I can change with a stock lift and a few other touches I think the gun is going to be a BAD ASS .

Love her action , way it feeds pellets , the safety out of my way , im lefty , and its future tuneability .

Could not stop shooting it tonight . Filled her up , the 33.95's, sat in drizzle at 50 yards in the dark with a bipod and
my scope illum on , lol , gun on shoulder . Light iff garage gave just nuff to see , she with ease , racked off the know your limits steel down to where i couldnt see the last 2 . The squirell reset as fast as i could rack a pellet . Was childs play at 50 even barely being able to see .

Think im gonna love this cheap ass lil 569 dollar gun

I have a killer 15 pound gun , now ill have a 35 and 55 pound companion to it, will cover all i hunt

I love mine! I didn’t mess with tuning much because it liked the JSB Hades and Diablo pellets out of the box. Similar results to yours. Ragged hole at 50 yards. I went with the tactical tube model to start out In 25.

Check out some of @Cheplicki videos. He reviewed one. Not sure which generation. I think he hunted deer with it as well. Don't recall the caliber.

Edit: his was a .357. here's a link to the deer hunt. https://www.airgunnation.com/threads/cap-arms-357-recluse-deer-hunt.1294149/

I appreciate the info. I’m asking, however, specifically about the CAP Dragon (.50 cal) gen 2. I don’t know anyone who owns this particular gun, so hoping someone who does can chime in with their experience. Thanks.

I am shooting .25x700 variation of liners 100 meters BR rings. Tried for more then a year any slug over 10 K shots in between 37-41-44-46 gn and me back to 34 gn JSB MK1's. This up to 100 mM rings, again...
Also my view about replacing or upgrading the gun CF bottle - for the money I chose tehering with Huma externally adjustable Reg instead. In four years having an Impact version I never shoot it off hand so can't comment on those scenarios.

Great keep us updated

lbc_PSI · Jun 13, 2024

From the barrels I have, it seems as though the CZs are usually black and the LWs are usually silver..both normally marked near the breach for caliber and brand. I say “normally” because I have a .25 23” mystery barrel that’s unmarked and black..sooo

Thanks for the reply. Looking forward to experimenting with the.177.

Thats an interesting looking air rifle. They sure don't make them like that anymore

I tell the facts and if they make a mistake it will mean a trip to the ER where the doctor will give you a shot to make it stop hurting.

I start them at five, if they're bugging me.
These are four of my grandkids

ou don't always need 500 shots from a single fill

Indeed. Though i must also admit that is is a thing i look very much at when looking at a new rifle, which are really stupid CUZ i always shoot connected to a 9 / 12 L bottle and so shot count are no issue.

I would NEVER let anyone put BBs in my 760. It has only had lead pellets loaded singly. It will be that way until my kids get it when I die. Be Well, B.

What year is yours?

From the beginning I was BB gunner with mine. It hasn't had much more than 2 full tins of pellets through it in its life.

My Dad was career Air Force and we moved around frequently. There weren't many places to even buy pellets where we lived from '68 through '74. We & the 760 were in Greece for 3 years, NJ for a year, then Taiwan for 2 years (where local laws didn't allow me to bring it). These are the remaining pellets from a tin I think my Dad ordered through the base Rod & Gun club, circa 1969/'71. I think.

Once we were back in the US and I could buy pellets at KMART I shot some pellets in it, mostly the plastic flip top containers of Daisy and Crosman, and the remainder of my precious hoard of German ones (which finally ran out sometime around '78).

The values I have in Chairgun for my Prod and Avenger, conventional rifles, is 1.5 inches. I am not sure how closely I measured this but the chairgun results match my shooting results pretty well. I have refined my results for my 3 P35s and it is 2.65 inches. Again it agrees with shooting results. I was pretty careful when I measured my Caiman and I got 2.67 inches. I use Westhunter one piece bases on my bullpups to make it easy to swap scopes around and they control the height more than the bell of the scope getting too close to the shroud. So maybe I could get the scope a little closer with different mounts but the bullpups cannot get to 1.5 inches.

@IKnowNutin, CPHPs are my go to plinking and sub 50 yards pesting pellets in “all” my BRKs…

Roger that, my Ranger does well with them on high TP and the Commander does if I back it down to TP setting 3. I can't remember what FPS those settings result in but it's enough to knock off a squirrel

Sqwirl57 · Jun 12, 2024

Back again. Couldn't leave it like that. I went back and shot two more groups bringing it to 11 total. Tossing the warmup, 10 groups with an average group size of 0.856 MOA. I'm pretty sure this is the only piston gun that I can confidently call a sub MOA springer and not feel like I'm stretching the term a little. The scary thing is that aside from the Rowan trigger, the internals are bone stock. Walther, if you read this, bring them back please

Keep my HW90 (Piston) cocked and on safe. Ready for tree rats. With the piston, no worry on spring fatigue. No kids around, so no worry on them playing with a loaded air rifle.

I once left a Benjamin Trail NP “at the ready” for a few weeks, and never did get the opportunity for the pesting shot. I decided to take few paper shots with it, and the first try resulted in a muted, dull thud, and the pellet failed to discharge. I figured being an inexpensive model, the seals on the ram had failed and it was toast. However, in the name of science, I tried another firing cycle which then discharged as normal, and it’s been fine ever since. Can’t explain it. I realize the difference in quality level might make for an unfair apples-to-apples comparison, but I no longer trust gas rams any more than traditional springs to behave predictably when compressed for extended periods.

I don’t have a lot of experience with airguns, years ago I was shooting often with some classic Diana, but lately I was shooting with Taipan Veteran 2 (shorter version) and with AGN Tech Uragan 2 long version. I so much liked U2 that now I’m in process of buying one

IKnowNutin · Jun 11, 2024

It was a good learning experience. My 1st regulator rebuild and this rifle is brilliantly made for ease of maintenance.

dan_house · Jun 12, 2024

sleeve length was long enough to cover the knuckles of my hand. so the back of my hand was covered.

Normally wear XL t-shirts so got that size. didnt wear anything else underneath it

Barrel barrel barrel.

My barrel count is 40+ right now. A couple have been exceptional, some have been good, most have been ok, a few have been junk, so typical bell curve that applies to just about everything.

The exceptional barrels are much less picky about what batch of pellets they're shooting.

I'm told that some guys are capable of making a bad barrel a good one, or making a good barrel an exceptional one. This barrel prep knowledge has to be extremely hard-earned, as I've spent a lot of money and a lot of time and still don't know why some are magic and some are stinkers. I just know that some ARE magic, and some ARE stinkers.

The magic ones don't require sorted pellets.
