Re: It worked okay today..

>If you like, you can "leave the barrel support in place and ream it out for clearance around barrel".

Since the barrel will point more 'up' if the barrel band is not holding down a little,
I fail to see what I would gain by reaming the band ID larger..
(And if the POI moves too high, I'm going to need different a scope mount).


>I would try to adjust the reg pressure without a guage.

Since my FPE is fine where it is, why would I need to adjust the reg? (without a gauge)..


>Unless your free time is limitless.

Since I'm retired and like to tinker with my airguns (it's a hobby) my time is limitless.


>It's louder cause of some wasted air. You get a lot of it with the shorter barrel (wasted air).

True, I learned that years ago when I got my Talon SS. Short barrels stink.


>No I have never been deep into the trigger assy. I wouldn't do that either. You should be able to get the 3 oz by following the trigger adjustment instructions that came with the gun.

I adjusted the trigger to my liking on the day I got the rifle a couple of years ago.
It's one of the best triggers that I've ever used. Only my 40X match .22 rimfire has better.
(Of course that trigger cost more than the rifle).

>Not trying to take anything away from your discovery but How come you didn't try the above first? Just curious...

Which "above" do you mean?

FYI, I installed a DIY Carbon fiber shroud this past winter and just got it tweaked in this spring.
(My indoor range is only 10 yards. I need at least 40 yards(and no snow) to check for accurateness).

The temperature expansion problem with the stock was 'new' to me, but it was just one problem
in many that I have had with this rifle.
