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!  |

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.  |

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.  |

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.
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.  |

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 |
