The Crosman pellet loader is truly the perfect solution for easily loading .177 pellets into AirForce airguns, without having to worry about getting lead or pellet lube oil on your hands or dropping pellets. It’s even easier than loading .22 or .25 pellets by hand.
The AirForce website is currently selling the Condor .177 D for just $375. I bought mine for $400 including shipping — such a great deal!
Since there isn’t much data available about the Condor .177 on the internet, here are some specs I gathered tonight after my first shooting session, for anyone interested:
I’m using a .123 top hat, not the .166.
At 2600 psi, with power wheel set to 3-1, using Crosman Hollow Point 7.9 gr pellets, I got velocities from 1080 to 1099 fps. With the power wheel set to 1-6, I got 1033–1037 fps, so I’m currently using PW 1-6 to test for accuracy.
At 22 yards, within the 2600–2500 psi range, the pellet trajectory was very poor and I couldn’t zero the scope. Once the pressure dropped to around 2500–2300 psi, accuracy improved and I was able to zero the scope. The group size was around 1 inch vertically.
When the pressure dropped further to around 2250–2000 psi, the gun shot noticeably harder and much louder — both the gun’s report and the sound of the pellet hitting the target. I was able to shoot Crosman HP 7.9 gr pellets into the same hole at 22 yards using just a monopod in a kneeling position.
**In summary, for $400, the Condor .177 offers many advantages:
It’s easy to load using the Crosman pellet loader (Crosman only sells the loader for .177).
It’s accurate at 2300 psi and can easily be refilled using a PCP hand pump.
It’s extremely precise and can reach 20 FPE at just PW 1-6.
