The shot cycle is unreal! In 177 it was a growling beast, kicked hard and was LOUD. After about 5 shots with the 22 barrel it settled into a civilized thunk.....much quieter too. Accuracy..welll this is after about 20 shots, barrel isn't "seasoned" yet.... first up was the "Domes" from Archer.....2"@20yds, didn't expect them to do well; Silver Ace, 16gr (weighed) turned in a great .16" for 3 shots @ 20yds!! These are old pellets I got from my friend, didn't shoot for diddly in his AA410! And of course FTS....3 shots @ .09"!!!! I have a pellet sampler that is waiting for further testing. I settled for 3 shot groups as I was so excited and the gun is a kicker. Will get some pics and chrony numbers soon! There are no accidents, there is only ignorance, mechanical failure, or "ACTS OF GOD"!

The reason I ask is you mentioned dual calibers, which the RS boasts. I have an RS2 myself with the .22 barrel loc-tited in, and yes, it's a beast. Chrono'd @ 670 (avg) using RWS superdomes, a far cry from the 800fps it claims, but still packs a punch!

Try a Diana 48 with RWS Superdomes at 820 Fps. It's really easy to shoot too. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Tue Mar 31, 2009 8:15 am sniper Silver Status Member Joined: 28 Nov 2008 Posts: 3752 Location: Star, Idaho 820 with a d-48?????? that'smore than my tech-89 _________________ I believe in gun control, If there's a gun around I want to be controlling it.......   Posted: Tue Mar 31, 2009 10:17 am broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands At several times they do more in .22. I got one in .177 with heavy pellets (10.3 Grain). A Diana 48 should do at least 18 Fpe in .22. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Tue Mar 31, 2009 8:08 pm sniper Silver Status Member Joined: 28 Nov 2008 Posts: 3752 Location: Star, Idaho i thoght a stock d-34 was 14-15fpe?? edit. i mean 48 _________________ I believe in gun control, If there's a gun around I want to be controlling it.......   Posted: Wed Apr 01, 2009 12:55 pm Legendpilot Member Joined: 26 Nov 2007 Posts: 67 Location: Baltimore, Maryland 14.3g pellet at 670fps is 14+fpe.

Haven't had time to shoot it much yet and I won't bother with a chrono until I'm ready to tune it. I'm debating Maccari's power tune kit versus the Theoben air spring kit for the R1. It comes down to power versus a gun with half the recoil and a much faster firing cycle and, for me, a more accurate gun. Since "magnum" numbers are being thrown around....my as yet untuned .22 Walther Talon is pushing cheap Crosman 14.3gr pointed pellets at around 938-944fps making it a 28ft.lb. gun out of the box. Not bad for a "cheap" Turkish gun or cannon. I sent it to C.A.P. to make a wood laminate stock and will tune it when I get it back. But it ain't no R1. Everyone who has this crazy airgun addiction owes it to themselves to own a high-end springer, whether it's an R1, R9, RX2, or the HW equivalents. If you've got money to burn the Theobens are outstanding. It's like owning a functional work of art.
