new addition to my gun collection.

It's a 90+fpe custom Condor .25 with oak stock and dual grips built by Lee at Leemak. Gun is tuned and modded as well. It is a one of a kind gun and there is no other like it, like all of Lee's guns.

I also have a .22 tuned Condor (75+fpe). Both guns were purchased used and came this way. I am the 2nd owner for both. The .25 is very well balanced with that oak stock and the shoulder piece in the back rotates around the tank so that you can adjust it for your body.
.25cal pellets are huge and they now have 60gr all the way up to 90gr pellets/slugs for them! But I 'll be using mostly the 42gr EunJins because they 're in the mid-high 900's range (more manageable velocities) because the gun was tested with those, and sometimes 31gr Kodiaks.

Here they are but I still love Springers!!

Great looking guns Harry. With this type of power and accuracy, your crows do not stand a chance. It is such a coincident but I was just viewing Paul C's video on PA featuring the condor. I really like the fact that they pack such power and are so light. How is the noise on one of those? MZ bought one and also did a custom stock on his. I think he later traded it at the Roanoake gun show for a Tyrolean.

Good Shooting

for backyard shooting anyway or anywhere near a residential area. A regular Condor sounds no less than a .22LR rimfire rifle. A power-tuned Condor sounds louder than a rimmie! The Talon with 18" barrel is also very loud.

This is why I purchased the .22 Condor with a very good shroud (from Airhog) from its previous owner. It is mouse-fart quiet. It is amazing how well these shrouds can suppress the sound. Only when I 'm shooting 16gr JSB Predators at 1,100fps and above, it starts getting louder (or when pellets go supersonic) and you hear a small crack but the report is still less than my 850 .22! Shooting pellets at 1,000-1,100fps, the gun sounds like stock Crosman 2240 pistol and even less quiet. At 1,000fps and below, the gun is VERY quiet and you mostly hear a "tink" when the hammer hits the valve. So I mostly use the .22 Condor with the power setting (power wheel) all the way down and only fill to 2,500psi. This way Kodiaks start at around 1,000fps MV (or 47fpe) and 50 shots later when they 're down to around low-mid 800's, I refill. The shots are ver consistent this way and only get a 3-4fps drop with each shot. Sometimes I get 60-70 shots but when the velocity gets below 800fps, the POI drops noticeably (at 35yds) so I prefer to refill after 50 shots. If I move the PW to say setting 5 or 6 or higher, I get less shots and the Kodiaks go nearly supersonic and accuracy is comprimised a little. They shoot best from 1050 on down. I sometimes use 32gr Eley slugs (look just like .22LR bullets) which are also very accurate but cost a lot $.

The .25 is also very loud. Only shot it once and my ears were ringing for a few minutes. I won't be using it until I get a custom shroud for it.
I 'm surprised MZ got a PCP! but I think everyone should experiment with different types of airguns or a PCP at least once..

I have shot many RWS Dianas, seen them, touched them, smelled them and this this is NOT a DIANA

BUT

that is a very beautiful piece of art and wood AND metal

I have no love for any PCP or CO2 airguns but have an eye for beauty and that is a one of a kind air gun

enyoy that piece of metal because it is a piece of metal dressed with an awefull good piece of wood

Harry I just read Gaylords review of the condor and the Airhog shroud. This gun could be the perfect for carrying into the woods. I especially like the bipod. A good stand in the woods with that type of power accuracy and such a lightweight gun is very enticing. I bet those guns set you back a few bucks.

Your are right, MZ with a condor! I almost flipped. Actually I thing he enjoyed making the stock custom stock more than shooting or working on the gun.
I hope you are shooting your 350. I must be well broken in by now. After that fantastic tune you had, it has to be one of the nicest 350's around.

Good Shooting
Dave

My 350 is MIA with Curtis!! I don't have and noone can get hold of Curtis. You have to go back and read the post "Hospital, surgery & Harry's 350.." from like May but there's been updates from people asking what happened to Curtis and my 350.

I also have the Airhog shroud on the .22. I have to go read Gaylord's article. Is it recent? The only problem with the Airhog shroud is that Airhog will not sell them individulally (don't blame them). They want you to buy the Condor from them in order to get the shroud. They are licensed to make them (the silenc.. word!) so it is legal when you buy the gun from them in that configuration. My Condor came from Airhog and they also did a little power tuning on it with a heavier hammer & spring.

Do you have a link to the Gaylord Airhog-Condor review?

Warren: Most guns including Springers are a piece of metal and wood if you look at it that way.. The Condor is aluminum btw.

Sure hope you get your 350 back and hope the best for Curtis.

ps I don't think Shrouds as silencers apply to airguns.?

Harry, I gotta tell you how concerned I am about your 350(obviously concerned about Curtis). If anyone was attached to a gun like it was some part of the body, it was Harry and his 350. I guess I really missed something as I was working really hard the last few months with a lot of long hours.What concerns me about Curtis, is the fact that you and him talked all the time on the phone.Seems like there must be someway to find out how he is doing. I pray that he is ok.

Your friend

I sure miss my 350.. but something weird is happening. My self and a few others here cannot call his #. We get a message that the subscriber has requested no incoming calls on that phone. But then a couple of other people are able to get through and leave VM! So I 'm not sure if we are blocked or what..

Harry, maybe Curtis is physically unable to get calls or what ever. Just a suggestion, buy maybe send a registered letter with the serial number of the gun, and a simple request to have it sent back to you. Hope things work out for all.
