Airforce Talon SS .177 Utility

I know technology has passed AirForce up, but it does everything I ask from 50 yard pesting and plinking to 50' position shooting practice. At the low setting in the wheel i get about 90 great shots.I added a weight for offhand balance and made an aluminum cover for a Buckrail moderator that broke and I glued back together.(he sent me a new one for free BTW)

This was yesterday at lunch and is typical 50' accuracy with many pellets.

Very nice indeed.

Is the weight just a balance thing?

Yes ,the Talon is way too light and doesn't hold well in offhand.My offhand Schuetzen. 22 LR is 10#.
I just like heavier guns in general


I just painted the stuff light blue because I had that color! Goofy looking ,but it does the trick.

Pretty cool setup. I wonder have you ever tried any light slugs like the JSB KnockOuts? Curious also what pellets you like best in your barrel?

 

[harrympope]

Haven't tried slugs but they definitely have crossed my mind.
Jsb exact 8.44g at .452 are best in the gun ,but nothing shoots bad really.

The Air Force Utility line is underrated.

My modified moderator was a failure, The extra weight seems to be doing something for accuracy... Well it was fun to make anyway.
