About seven or eight years ago I bought a used "Talondor" from a guy out in California. I think the rifle was originally a Condor but not sure. It had been heavily modified. When I got it, it had a 90 gram hammer, the spring had been modified, and it had a lot of junk hung on it. Most of which I removed and stuck on a shelf.
That rifle isn't the most accurate rifle I own but it will hold an inch at fifty yards with any of the barrels I have for it. It is the most powerful air arm I own. It came with a 12" .25 cal barrel. Over the years I've put two or three different optics on it. I've bought a 24" .22 barrel and an 18" .20 barrel and a 12" .20 barrel. I've spent a while trying different hammer springs, different hammers and different top hats. I've regulated it and taken the regulator off.
That is why I like my Condor. In half an hour I can switch between three different calibers and half a dozen different tunes. If I want a fifty or sixty FPE .25 I can have that in the same amount of time that it takes to configure it as a .20 caliber 75 yard squirrel rifle. It is just that versatile. It is a great hunting rifle.
I would recommend one to anyone who wants a simple, accurate, hard hitting PCP that can be reconfigured any number of ways.
In January I configured it to run the 24" barrel in .22 cal because I was clearing out ground hogs on my permissions this spring. That task is done so today I decided to swap in the 12" .20 barrel to shoot the JSB Exact Heavys at about 27 fpe. Should be a fine 75 yard squirrel rifle with that pellet, if the targets I shot at 40 today are any indication.
Now I am going to set it in a corner and forget it till I need to use it later to run "orchard security detail". The squirrels are about to start cutting fruit from the trees and I don't plan on tolerating that.

, so trust me when I say I can feel your pain of having a new gun not live up to your expectations.
