Its on loan indefinitely from a shooting buddy ... Mine to purchase If wanting or just keep it for the 2013 season and shoot it ;D
Said do what ya want to it ! ..... have Fun and play :o
So did just that today making it bark less with an LDC, replace all hardware in Stainless & gave it a clean & oil.
Currently shoots AA 10.3's @ 815 fps and makes ONE HOLE at 25 yards ... thinking in the 5 shot strings must have forgot to load a pellet the other 4 ???
Feinwerkbau P70 FT ... Custom Titanium air chamber, SS match barrel are upgraded.

Scott, Scott, Scott......now that is a great acquisition. A gun I personally pine for. And that stock is to die for. Glad to hear you will be getting out onto the FT scene.
Congrats and keep us updated on her
Performance!

@ 80 shots last night into the illuminated target box at 35 yards ....
H&N FTT 8.64's with 4.52 head shooting @ 870 fps would nearly stack pellets as would H&N Barracuda 10.6 with 4.50 head shooting @ 800 fps.
OUT of contention were:
JSB 8.4's and Crosman CPHP's tho also quite accurate.
JSB & AA 10.3's ... did well closer but seem to open up at range ?
RWS Diabolo basic 7's ... * Tho next most accurate, but likely too fast at current settings.
Crosman 10.5 CPH's
JSB 13.43's
And a few other odd ball pellets.
What was interesting tho is ALL PELLETS grouped generally quite well with NO Left / Right drift, only vertical stringing from weight variance.
Will get to really see what it will do end of the month ( Sun 30th ) at our local BR match in Ione, CA

Very cool! I picked up a .177 mrod to mess with FT a bit but it will be a long project, congrats on the sweet toy!

Little more screwing around last night with trigger stage weights .... going from SOOO light a Bug could trip it, too @ 2 ounces or so which with springs within trigger unit is about as hard as it go's ??? .... Opted for a heavy trigger until fingers gets a feel for this beast.
Always figured trigger in the 10 meter Diana 75 was a bit light and difficult to master .... this thing eclipses that feel of "Light" by a fair margin.
Changed out the scope mounts to something a bit beefier also having better eye relief & a slightly lower height.
Next is spending MUCH time getting comfortable holding the weight while not wiggling like a branch in the wind :P
