Have not tried the HPA yet but the CO2 works well. Smile

Very accurate at 20yds.
I'm getting a Scuba tank soon so HPA will be next. Then its time to modify one of my spare Disco valves. Wink

It balances 1/2 inch behind trigger with 88g cylinder. Smile

I now need a Chrony to fine tune, but so far its impressive.
I'm also developing a true two stage trigger for these new style frames unfortunately my time is limited due to a baby on the way. Shocked

Took me a month to put together but I also built a Target 2240 with all the sweet stuff from a 2300S. it sips CO2 for 10 meter target shooting.
This is how it turned out. I think I need to make a set of Target grips for it! Mr. Green

Also working on a 1377 that I bought back in the 90's. more on that later.

Thanks again to Bob, Muzzle Mack and Mac1.

How does it handle/feel/maneuver with the bottle on the bottom?

It balances well and is very comfortable. The tank will get a clamp before I take it Quail hunting. I just need to make the bracket for the clamp. Weighs 7 lbs so it's lighter than my storm.

Did some target practice yesterday. It's holding 3/8 cc at 20yds rested on the back of a chair not bad IMO. Smile

The nice thing is its quiet enough(on CO2) to shoot in suburbs without anoying the neighbors. If I didn't have extra Disco valves I think I would leave it as is, but since I do have two extra I will modify one. Chrony should be here next week so will see what its doing on paper.

Thanks for the positive comments.

I think it will look much better once I get the 2260 tube. I dont like the SS adapter although it's functional. I've been messing around with a more user friendly modified stock from a 1399. Ill post pics when I get my 2260 tube.
