You read my mind. I bought my Crown Cont. with a 700mm slug liner last year, but really never enjoyed it because of the extremely high reg pressures I had to use. Now I have the Impact coming with the standard 600mm barrel system and was going to shorten that sucker down the extra 10cm and give...

H&N Greens shoot better on my Crown .22, followed by the GTO's. Really depends on your setup (speed, pressure, harmonics, etc.)

Could it be that your short barrel is maxing out velocity regardless of HST. A quick test would tell you if you are seeing the same issue if you switched to your 700mm barrel and repeat the test.

Back to basics: Start off with the hammer spring tension at the highest setting, meaning that you can just rotate the power knob lobe past the setscrew. Then take a few shots over the chrony and turn the setscrew CCW maybe 2 x 1/4 turn and repeat the chrony measurement. Repeat this as you take...

One extra piece of advice while fine tuning the HST is to give the regulator time to recharge to the expected pressure. If you have a setup that allows to shoot pellet upon pellet than you might get some inconsistencies from not allowing the regulator to recharge fully.

Well, pulled the trigger on a refurbished Kral Knight S. Should be here next week sometime. With tax it pushed me just over 600, but no big deal. I'll keep you guys posted how it goes once I get it 😁

Cool, I am leaning more and more towards the Kral. I finally found Troy's complete tear-down video and everything he explains now makes sense. Everything he shows I understand why he's making change to it. This is a great project gun that I can put some time into it and make mods to improve...

Mike, TNT, I have a shop at work I can use to do some mods there. I can even make parts if needed out of several different types of SS, Alu, Brass, plastics, Peek, PVC, Teflon, etc. - lol, it's been a few years I touched a lathe or mill, but what you learn you never forget, just need a little...

OK. So far my research led me off to another forum where lots of folks complained about the non-communication with Troy at the beginning of the year, to the point that some were waiting months on products they had paid for. I can't find anything recent and I have been on the Annihilator website...

Well if cost is not an issue than the Lapradar is the right choice. It does velocity measurements at multiple distances and also allows you to calculate BC. The FX is accurate if setup correctly but lacks the features of knowing what the pellet does down range.

All, thank you. Great feedback and recommendations. Is there a second hand market for the Kral so I could get the tuning done to it and still stay within the budget. Otherwise I'll look out for a sale since TG is right around the corner, who knows. I'll dig in with some research on the Troy...

The reason I was cautious about the KP was the reviews on PA were not very favorable. Glad to hear that I may put this back on the list.

The weight was a concern with the BullBoss. My primary use was going to be off hand shooting pests like wood rats, but I am worried that I would tire out too quick. Does it shoot 1-1.5in groups out of the box or is that with some modding?

Really depends on multiple factors... for example: The BC has an effect on the drop, lower BC with same ES will have higher drop. Starting FPS will also have an even bigger impact, meaning if you start off at 900FPS down to 850 VS starting at 800 down to 750. Just some real examples...

Guys, I love my FX Crown Cont. but would like to follow up my second PCP purchase to be something much shorter with still decent accuracy and power in the 32+ft/lb range in .22. The one gun I am eyeballing so for is the Hatsan Flashpup or perhaps the BullBoss (seems a bit on the heavy side)...
