Awesome group!
Did you consider JM kit or went straight to Vortek? Reason I'm asking is that I like the JM's detuned (OS) kit in my D34 and was thinking about eventually putting his kit in my TX (still on back order, but it will come...).Good group, BTW.
Sounds like you have a real smoothie in your hands now, nice!My V-Mach kit is really smooth and I noticed that it's the 12fpe kit. I ordered an FAC kit but the rifle cocks so easily and is smooth as butter and that was a dead give away that it was a low powered kit to me. It produces about 11.4 fpe after I Chrony'd it at a friend's house. Accuracy is about the same as before, I shoot high and low powered guns pretty much the same. I was bargaining for smooth and I ended up with a super smooth, low powered gun out of the deal.

The 48 is even more difficult. The TX was the easiest springer to shoot that I own. Now, it's even easier. I tried shooting at 50 yards with all 3 today and the results were pretty similar. 1.5"-2" groups. It was kind of windy and I assume that played a bigger role against the lower powered TX.
Ha! Yeah, it certainly is easier to cock. You might as well keep the 12 fpe kit. It takes what, 10 minutes to swap?I did mess with the trigger a little bit. I can't figure out how to shorten the first stage without the 2nd stage creeping or becoming a hair trigger. I will have to play with it some more. As it stands, the Rekord is still king in my book as far as ease of use and consistency goes.
Dustin, haven't used any of vortex's kits yet. JM is the only kits I put in my RWS rifles. Happy with them so far.Tom
You got it. Hey got that o-ring piston seal too (somewhere ) Thats yours too. Going to have to start a 12lbs club!

My V-Mach kit ended up being about 11.4 fpe in my TX. It was supposedly the FAC kit but I think it's the low power kit. No worries, it's super easy to cock and it's really smooth.I elect Dustin as the official leader of the 12lbs Club. I suffer from tinkeritus so I'll probably swap it back and forth between different power kits.
