Great golfball hunting there Gregor! What I found even more astonishing than hitting the ball itself, is the small size of the (sightin-) groups you showed in the video!
Looking forward to your next video on tuning the Huben V2.
What is according to your findings the optimum velocity for the Huben bullets?

Martin: 1000 fps
Allen: I will upload a video describing details of that shot, but the pellets were form Huben...

Someones talking about the blow through cylinder ( opposed to a probe advancing the pellet ) and that is a somewhat valid point. But for some reason other HUNTING rigs with the same set up AR6 maybe, isn't the Sumatra like that I've not heard so much complaint about this one , issue. Unless your in a power restricted county 12fpe is plenty for target work, 20fpe makes it just much much less fun ( challenging that is ) , 50+fpe is a hunting rig not a BR or FT rigs. As a hunting rig, if it will hit the squirrel-whatever- in the head everytime the shooter does their part, that's good grouping.
K1 ( 2gen?) wish we had more in the U.S. , fills another nitch. Folks don't "need" a 909 big-bore and the novelty fun can wear off but still lot's of fun the shoot & share with friends.
Don't think they've really had a chance here yet, a few sold by a - um- dealer who may not have offered the finest support and had a TINY quanity anyway. Then, JUST from reading, a west coast dealer got 50 in and sold out instantly. I mean in a week, shucks.
And haven't read a bit ( practically ) about that batch, odd.
It does seem, IF, 50 were sold recently in the U.S. recently, and, there were problems, someone would have posted?
Not exactly my style rifle ( I'd keep on 80 year old modIII if only 1 airgun) but I certainly would enjoy trying one out.

Gregor, Fantastic Shooting!
Which Huben version did you use?
Are the Huben pellets/bullets available for purchase yet?

It was with v2. I believe the pellets are not available yet, the only info I got from Huben is that they intend to release them next year.

244yds??? WOW! That's fantastic. Great shooting.
Almost makes me wish I hadn't just bought an Impact, but I did so the budget is drained for a bit... Congrats on taking the hard shot.

Gregor why not use your own slugs. I bought the mold but need to test the slugs.
Any further testing on your side with these slugs.

I use my slugs regularly as well. The accuracy is still a little better with Huben bullets because they are swaged and my bullets are cast. Also, I need to cast and size my bullets. Huben bullets are already in the box ... I guess I am lazy...

I'm going to be keeping an eye out for this "version 2". I was interested in the Huben until I read about lousy accuracy, which may or may not have been a hit job by the competition. Looks like things have progressed with this air gun in a positive manner.

Yes, I too nearly bought this gun last April, but I decided to go with a cheaper big bore instead. We've all been burned on cheap Chinese stuff for so long that it is difficult to throw down $1650 on something like this. If it was $1000, this gun would have been mine long ago.

I wish you had valued Aaronchow's input.
Aaron and me are obviously not welcome here,even if we are just telling the truth.

need to get an idea about how many are out there.

Hello guys.
i am very interested in this hammerless system from efficiency standpoint.
if someone has recorded pressure drop and number of shots at whatever power, would be so kind to share? Maybe some info about regulated pressure.
It would be very interesting to compare efficiency of huben vs hammer operated airguns.
