Well, finished paying it off (thanks ssso!) and it'll be delivered tomorrow! Just wondering what I could expect? I know it's a pretty broad question but some info:
1. First .25 ;D
2. Hunter first, Paper puncher second, plinker third!
3. Already shoot .177 and .22 comfortably out to 80 yards max. Can I get a 100+ yards? (this is speaking of hunting conditions)
4. Don't care for lots of shots (ie 40+) because I hand pump and it makes it easier. My .22 Concept is tuned for 18 shots at 26 FPE with an ES of 15 fps. And my .177 Pneuma for 30 shots at 15 FPE with an ES of 20 fps. I'm content with them!
So guys, with a Condor, care to chime in?

Hey buddy ,glad u are getting your condor :D,itu could hunt at 100yds but it would probly be a small critter i would not hunt at anything past 50yds with any ag unless its birds that are in season and those u could hunt past 50yds with no problem ,what are u hunting mainly ? if its the road runner u wont succeed cause daffy duck tried lol....really dont hunt past 50yds cause u have enough energy while at 100 plus energy is way down as to a powder burner ....now if its plinking or grouping i would definitely do it ...its only an opinon on my behalf im sure the hunters like Manny have inspired me to hunt under 50yds cause no need for follow ups if u shot it in the vitals so for now before hunting any game i would study the anatomy and see if its in season ,plenty hunters here will soon chime in and hopefully Longislandhunter and Harry1 as well bout 99% are hunters in this forum im the 1%that has very ,very little experince ,i have shot bout 5 critters in my lifetime using ags and had to but never at 100plus ...its doable and the condor has the accuratecy and power to do it ... u can get more than 30 shots from 3000psi to 1000psi and still be accurate i know cause i did with my condor whom Jesse owns now ,u have a hi flow tank whick is the standard however years ago they had micro meter tanks for more shots and lower velocitys then the standard tank that was an upgrade less shots more power still keepng accuratecy then now is the hi flow which is more powerful still u get 30 to 70 shots from 3000psi to 1000psi a 12 to 15 very powerful shots the reat after are still powerful enough... one thing is they never lost accuratecy when these changes came about....read the airforce airgun website and gather info u need to learn bout the airforce line of ags ,...thanks for letting me share ...jorge

Thank you for your long, detailed reply Jorge! ;D I didn't want this .25 for bigger game ;D I was hoping for longer ranges and a bigger thwack on my current game. Magpies, sparrows, squirrels... The under 10 lbs club 8) thanks again!
