Airgun Technologies Vixen question.

[MACTEN]

Has anyone with a Vixen actually had to tune your regulator? If so, does the reg screw tun CCW for more and CW for less psi? I'm assuming that's the way as most are but I just saw an older thread where someone came into a Vixen thread and said the opposite (ccw =less) Just curious as Mine is spot on at 50 and I have no plans to send anything to 100 +.

DON'T...by into what OTHERS may be doing just because it sounds like the thing to do !!!
It's YOUR gun, it's YOU that's doing the shooting. If the gun works out of the box, then great, go shooting, have a good time.
IF...for some reason, known ONLY to you... You don't like something about the way the gun is shooting. Then...adjust it so that it makes you happy. BUT...don't do the, "monkey see, monkey do" thing.

Just do some initial shooting (100+ rounds or so). Let the gun break in a little, you get used to the gun. THEN...if you feel the need..! DON'T just jump in and start turning screws because you think it's the thing to do, before you even pull the trigger for the first time.

Do you have a chronograph ? DON"T do any adjusting without one.

I recently bought a Vixen (short), in .22 cal.
It shoots fine for my normal tunes, that I adjust my other guns to for the range (distance) that I shoot. The trigger is set nicely, so no need to adjust that either ! The gun is accurate. So, yeah, outta the box, mine shoots well, no need for any adjusting.

I'm not planning to do anything.. ES is minimal and shoots great. Another poster asked a question several days ago which got my curiosity up since I had the bottle off to check the thing they were asking about unrelated.
