Like somebody said, Robert's regs are very well made and they offer great value for money. He has a wide range too. What I like about him is that he knows airguns inside out. And he is not too jaded to offer superb regs even for modest guns like the Diana Stormriders. His reg in my Artemis pp800...

Great! Have you polished the ends of the new spring to take away the sharp edges and allow it to move freely when released? I would not be surprised if this extended spring life. Maybe a more experienced tuner could comment ... PC

Dude, if yar cash strapped and want reasonable power + great accuracy in .22, then check out the underlever Tech Force 97. It is also called QB36-2. It benefits from a mild tune. A little on the heavy side and the trigger is not a Weihrauch. But what a nicely made gun for not much over 130. Got...

Update on the QB36-2. I just got this underlever in .22. The Haemmerli branded combo version (incl good quality scope) is 50% more expensive and it only comes in .177. Reading some reviews, and looking at the power and weight, the .22 is superior. It is also in a totally different class than its...

Yeah, it's a copy of those. I don't own them, but BB Pelletier had good things to say about the CFX. I was hoping for a competent Turkish copy but no such luck. The hollow stock of this Kral amplifies the report like the box of a violin (only the sound is less attractive). And the rotating...

Most definitely true, when looking for quality out of the box. Yet the premium PCP world also counts worthy members from Czech, Russia, Ukraine, Slovenia and Sweden of course. But the up and coming countries are increasingly hard to resist -- because I am a tinkerer !! Nothing much more...

My Kral N-08 underlever (also called Demon) arrived today. I was expecting another underrated gun but was sadly mistaken. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this poorly designed and shoddily executed POS. The rotating breech in my 0.177 does not line up with the barrel and it leaks air...

... No views on that underlever Kral ? Got it ... Ordered one and will report out, hopefully not a dog. Meanwhile, it's not too late for you guys underlever lovers to get the comments going! 🐦

Thanks! Well, I started by stripping the orange-brown varnish off, easy enough. Then sanded with 320 grain. (First took off some wood with my band sander to slim down the meaty pistol grip and improve my trigger reach). Then stained the wood with a home made concoction extracted from crushed...

Not sure if this is a math or a philosophy class. In the latter case, we will need to call on Karl Popper, who despite his name was not a shooter. He was much more than that. Coming back to the point, I have EMPIRICALLY experienced, repeatedly with different guns, that highly mounted scopes...

I want an underlever springer to achieve PCP accuracy for hunting, but without the cost and pumping hassle. Unable to find any meaningful reviews on the cheapo Kral N-08. All I know is that I have been positively surprised, many times over, by the impressive build + accuracy of the more...

Gimme an 8* fixed mag, 10* maybe, for hunting. Can't be beat for easy target acquisition. The military snipers' long time favorite. 🐦

Anyone try the Kral N-08 ? 🐦

Coming back to this oldish thread. Got a couple B3s recently from a shop in Poland for around 50 EUR apiece + shipping. One in .177 and another in.22. Exhilarating little buggers, love them more than my PCPs. Accurate at 25 yds. The trigger is a predictable two-stage, light too after some...

I am a lefty in fact. No issues. Accuracy at 80yds is exemplary. You could try 3D work but it would need to be pretty precise. 🐦
