I tuned perhaps 20 or so in my time. The issue (if we ignore the basic sights, shortish sight base and 5lb trigger pull) is rear moving piston guns seem to provide more problems than we first supposed they would. We imagined (mid to late 80s) that the rear moving piston must be beneficial as it...

As said, the Tempest has a very heavy taper at the breech but also the barrels were designed to shoot the pellets we produced in England at that time, namely the Webley special pellets at 4.60, Lanes 4.60 and Eley Wasps. Milbro Caledonian and Bulldog were others ....all 4.6 None of these are...

They were made by the El Gamo factory in Spain but imported into the UK as the main distributer. At that time there was power restrictions in Spain which meant they could not be a direct distributer to country's with above 6ftlbs freedom. This has since changed, but for me a complete disgrace...

Tried tuning a few Gamos for people a good while ago but I handed them back not much better than I received them. Smoother perhaps within the normal aspect of a decent Top hat and good clean out but could not get the consistency going. General findings on going in was quality control was poor...

I did around 3 posts on Tempest tunes on this site. Type in Tempest tune. It might bring the posts up. Easy enough to work on yourself with a set of suitable punches 2 to 4mm

Beautiful machines, for shooters who enjoy the finer things in life.

It's a personal choice, where I would not criticise PCP users and know the results that can be achieved, but for me at least , I prefer the self reliance, no bottles, hassle of going to refill centres, or use of separate pumps. Power curves....never been able to figure out the optimism range, or...

Yes I got approx 40 fps from the mods I did. Most people with limited skills could probably manage the seal mod for about 20 fps, but It really depends on the quality of limits you get from the outset in regards how much you might get with seal packing. I noticed this with the cheaper Beeman...

The pistol has a very nice action and nice design features. Having the opening lever to the side of the receiver, allows for the sights to sit further back, increasing the sight radius, sitting where the hammer normally sits on other similar models. The sights are also very lower profile...

I sure wonder why no one produces an Air rifle that looks like that...

Yuk.....I do wonder how far HW are going to go to get away from the perfect traditional styling they once had. They have lost their way.

The best sources for red dot information is usually the full bore sites. None of these recommend the use of Chinese clones from Amazon etc. So I would not go that way. The most likely choice for airgunners is probably the mid price point stuff like Hawke, but while we see better quality dots...

That's great that your Holosun has worked out great. I have heard good things about them. I'm really looking at a general trend and as happy with positive comments as I am with negative ones so that we might get a broad spectrum conclusion. A couple of the fullbore sites seem to have mixed...

While the red dot answers loads of issues, such as finite sight radius of opens, alignment time etc, I have come to the conclusion that they have one huge issue of their own and gone back to opens....at least on pistols. The issue I've experienced, and this is for cheap, or expensive models, is...

Firstly just wanted to compliment the fantastic woodwork on those stocks, especially the Benjamin which might just be the finest woodwork I've ever seen on a pumper. Way back toward the mid 80s through to the early 90s I pretty much figured out this question for myself. Back then a Sharp Innova...

Yeah try that..

No problem, you can usually work on 50- 100 fps depending on where you are coming from with its internal state.

Congratulations on the 53. You really have 2 very different guns in one package depending on how you want to use it. In standard stock trim with twin spring set and a lubricated stock leather seal, it will produce 400 to 440 fps if in good tuned order, but most with dry or old seals closer to...

Must be the nicest piece of wood all time....

Good question. With all pistols .177 does get out of the gun quicker. Despite the .22 feeling nicer, due to the better cushioning of air it provides, the .177 still outshoots by getting out of the gun quicker regardless of nicer shooting feel. The Premier also has a ridiculously heavy piston...
