Results with Artemis PP700 so far

[Hepotter]

Gentlemen...the SPA 750 is just a couple of months away. I'm hoping the mfgr has been reading some of our comments and might make a few corrections in what is already an amazing pcp pistol for the money.

The gun's quality and shooting ability is way above it's pay grade. Let's hope no one else finds out about this and causes a price jump!

Wes...you listening? You better order a bunch when they become available!

So you have shot or own one?

LOL, like ever one else, Unk is holding his breath in anticipation. Still hate the grip angle. Humm, wonder what I can do about that!

Scorpions killed so far, 1,123. Really slow last few nights. . Seems they dig in deep in moonless late night conditions. GRRRR!!!



On a side note, I haven't been deep inside the pistol yet. Any way to adjust the reg's on these?

On the PP700 you adjust the reg or semi consistent valve through the front of the trigger guard. I no longer use the stock reg but when I was trying, I had to mod a hex wrench to make adjustments easier. Very tiny movements make changes. Just like a Huma.

Thanks Vetmx. Left higher, right lower Like the huma?

Be careful with ad

I think my Artemis PP700S-A is a great pistol, well made, shoots pretty well straight out of the box, I think it's cranked up too high, need to adjust it down quite a bit and really sit down and shoot it a bunch at different settings... I have more experience with PBs and free floating a barrel was one way to accurizing a high power rifle, that and glass bedding the action... I will have to experiment with different tensions on the "nut" securing the shroud... I have a CF shroud I made yesterday, the pistol has quite a bark even with the LDC on it...

Edit: turned down the hammer spring tension, much quieter now, waiting for GF to bring chronograph over to check velocity and possibly adjust some more... Will shoot a few strings and follow up...

Be careful with the tension nut. When JSAR was first making the aftermarket system for attaching ldc's, they found that just a little too much torque will separate the threads from the barrel. VERY Thin there. GRRRRR!!!

I want to say yes but its been a while so I don't want to mislead you. Just remember tiny tiny adjustments or you will bypass that sucker. The PP700 bible is over on GTA titled PP700 adventure started. The topic is so big that it needs a publishing date.

Thanks for that, I have the DonnyFL adapter on mine, replaces the stock tension nut, fortunately for me the "bushing" or part in the frame that the barrel is threaded into is solid in my pistol, I snugged up the DonnyFL adapter hand tight and about another quarter turn, still need to shoot it some more, been busy around here...

Vet, what holo you got on that hand cannon?



Knife

 

[Vetmx]

It says Trijicon on the unit but the box it came in says RMR. 

 

[knifemaker]

RMR is a trade, copyrighted title for Trijicon. It sands for Something mini reflex. Can't remember exactly at the moment. Sadly, it has become used by a lot of people talking about any reflex sight. Sorta like skill saw was used for any hand held circular saw back in the day. but only the Trijicon. can be a Gen. RMR. ;<)

@ Knifemaker: How did you mount that sight so low? I want to order one but they seem to come with the weaver rail mount.

"Equipped with an ADE 3.5 holo dot sight",

I have used the UTG # MNT- DT2PW01 very sucessfully with both Weaver scope rings bases 

 and  Red Dot bases. These let you keep what ever your mounting down low to the bore. Hope this helps nyou

 

[sald]

Cool. I actually have two of those somewhere. It looks like the sight is lower. Does that model have integrated picatinny weaver base? The one in saw is going to raise it up somewhere around 3/8'

 

[sald]

Like this....

See this is mounted like a pistol would have it. But I see the rear sight it still there.
