Hey

Nice shots there!
Though I couldn't see the target very well, But I think I can believe you!

So, Who does the Airforce Condor belong to? As it is my favorite Airgun in the world! great pics of it, But no live action with it in the vid!

Do you think you could feature it in one of your future vids?

Stevie Thumb Up!

P.S. I almost forgot! Here is something I sketched about a month back and posted it on the forum!

Even at 16x i couldn't see the target that well !!
the condor is awesome , and it was a piece of cake hitting the 101 yds target with it ..after shooting the 350 ..I found the condor very easy.
It has a 16 x scope , a bipod , it was recoiless , the scope has mildots for range holdover ....AND it shot at 1150fps !!
It became more of a challenge at 150-160yds , specially with a 10km /hr wind blowing ..it would blow your shots 6" to 12" off .
But you can turn down the power to 800 fps in the condor and get 80 shots per fill .
We also shot the Sumatra carbine 2500 with a peep at 101 yds ..and it would nail the can every time without holdover !! awsome repeater .
we will have to do much more photograpy next time ..we just took the 101 yds springer shots as we knew no one would believe them .

Nice.

Was the 350 "as from factory" to do that, or what mods helped it out? I understand it comes, stock, with an output of 1150fps using 7.9gr .177 pellets- but it couldn't be that accurate with such a light projectile, could it? From what I can see, RWS recommends using their 8.3gr or 9.3gr pellets with it.

Hi Eric ,
This is a .22 caliber and shoots at ~825fps 14.3 880 with hobbies .It is not a stock gun ..it has been modified to give maximum consistancy and accuracy .Its shot strings show a remarkable consistancy
of +/- 2 FPS ..a stocker can do +/- 12-14 fps which at that range will result in a miss . You really need consistancy to shoot accuratly .

Regards ,
Frank

Here is a pic from the 101 yds coffee cans prospective ...
we were shooting from beside the Farmhouse

you will notice its been turned into a cheese grater !!!

no dents ..all seem to be passthroughs

the Red detergent Jug was riddled with holes at 161 yds ..by the condor
shooting at ~1100 fps . even at those speeds ..a little 10 kms /hr wind will cause a drift of 2 feet or so ...so good luck predicting the wind .

The pics ...enjoy..

Coffee can shot from 101 yards:

Man, that is some serious power output- 161 yds and right through a plastic jug- impressive.

Yes ...
1100 fps 14.3 comes to 38.4 fpe at the muzzle Shocked

so at 161 yds it was still doing 680fps when it hit ~15fpe Laughing

so that is like you take a RWS/Diana 34 and walk for 160yds and shoot it from 1 yard !! you would expect a passthrough Laughing
