RTI Another P-3 and a shout out to Talon Tunes

[IndyDurtdigger]

Finally made my decision. Went with the RTI P-3 and a new dealer based on the recommendation of some on here. Talon Tunes is good to go. He actually called me to ask a few questions about the order, we probably ended up just chatting for about 15 minutes. Never had anyone or anyplace do that before and I buy a-lot of stuff. The order came well packaged to boot. In a general comparison to the PCP this is supplanting as my farm pest rig it is built like a tank. Now I just need the weather to improve...

The Prophet takes no Prisoners!!

Congratulations! That is a beautiful P3! Have fun shooting it when the weather relents,

Nice setup! The bigger places like AoA and Utah definitely don't, but I've had a few of the smaller places chat my ear off for 30min lol. It's pretty refreshing to see the level of passion the smaller ones have.

Just looked up the P-3, I didn’t know they had a externally adjustable reg now. The whole rifle looks amazing actually.

The wheel at the butt plate is an adjuster for the hammer spring as well. Works different with it being a balanced valve gun though. The most surprising thing to me is how compact the platform is. Even with the long barrel if one ditches the moderator, it is a tight rig.

I've got the original Prophet and love it. I've considered getting the P-3 but waiting to see what the mystery RTI "Mora" is.
My favorite target is a bad chicken egg at 120yds. Awesome sound and splatter.

I bought my last two PCPs from Tony at Talon Tunes and had the same experience. He obviously goes out of his way to make sure you know what you are getting.

Congratulations. That P-3 looks like a real shooter. I hope you'll let us know your thoughts on it as the weather improves and you have an opportunity to put some pellets down range.

One question. What's the weight on the rifle? Tony lists it as 13 pounds.

Les the overkill scope I put on it. Two different scales show 8lbs even. I think those weights shown on the TT spec pages are shipping weights as I've seen that discussed a couple times in other threads.

Thanks for your response.

I’m surprised it weighs that much, I thought they were one the lighter guns available.

I was surprised when I picked it up out of the case as it doesn't look like would be a hefty, little thing. Like I said, built like tank and solid. As an old farm boy and heavy equipment mechanic that doesn't bother me one bit.

I have never weighed mine, but it is not a light weight, but did not expect it to be. I bought mine for benchrest and for that I dont conside weight a bad thing.
