Hello,
The "bug" bit me last fall after reading through pages and pages of forum threads and pellet rifle specs I ordered a Seneca Eagle Claw .25 to deal with any potential predators bother my livestock (alpacas and chickens, for now). This spring I ordered a Diana Bandit from Wes (Airgun and Archery) with a regulator and Diana Chaser stock/grip. The Bandit is nice since it is hand pump friendly and I get a lot more trigger time with it. The Eagle Claw takes about 37-ish pumps to fire one magazine on full power. Thankfully an electric HPA pump is supposed to arrive today and I should get some more trigger time with the Seneca. My go to for target practice/fun shooting will probably be the Bandit since it is a total feather weight and very fun to shoot. Some day I'd like to get a PBBA Pro 20 with the rifled barrel insert, but I don't see that happening any time soon. I also have a Daisy 901 which is pretty fun in its own right with BBs.
I am interested in converting my Canadian spec Bandit to US power levels if it is practical. So far my only "modification" was to fix the threads on the hole under the magazine well with an insert. I'm looking for maximum range with 9.5 grain lead free pellets. Over the summer I have been reading some threads about modifying the hammer spring and ports, but most of that is over my head.
