I havn't shot anything over 25 fpe for a few days,
so I took the Condor out in the back yard and let
a few loose at a chunk of 2x4 placed at 50 yards.


Front side. The Ns are nail holes.



Back side


I hate to beat you guys with more photos, but this is one
of my favorite machines.

Nice. I'd get a Condor- but I need to get new glasses to see 50 yards properly first! Mr. Green

Alphakilla,

Tell her the Condor will be a collectors item and that you are investing in hard assets to protect against inflation.

It's Condoritis over here. I've seen at least 3 or 4 people on the Dutch forum getting one recently. Which is a lot, as there are only 15 people in the Netherlands. Mr. Green

What do you need a condor for in dutchland. The only thing your allowed to kill over there is cockroaches.

That's ALL the people who live here.

I'm not particularly fond of the Condor. It has its charms but I don't need one because I don't really need a very practical rifle, for as far as a Condor is practical. Mr. Green

Mr. Green
I have been to Holland.
My family lives near by. Plus 4 days in Amsterdam was pretty cool.
I might even have some souvenier wooden shoes. Cool
But i got the joke.

I wonder what the fps threshold is to get through a 2x4 with a .22. My talon is putting them out there at 900 fps, but I know the Condor can exceed 1200. The talon might not get through the board, but it'd give it something to think about.

At my buddies place (Jan, from the famous Jan-tunes) we once measured 1443 fps from a Condor in .177 on highest power. That was a H&N FTT if I recall well. Mr. Green

Maybe if you got rid of(or mounted below),the light.
give it a longer scope and loweer mounts. more streamlined
i hate the high mounts
