Nice rig !
need to try some JSB 7.87's

Agree as a Non FAC sub 12 gun those 10.3's are not the right pellet for it.

Snow was on the way and I just grabbed my favorite pellets and was able to shoot two cylinders of air before the snow shut the session down. I have 7.87's and will give them a go. Thanks.

Exactly what I did Eric... Tank is due on the doorstep Wednesday! Figured the 72CF was all I needed. Now just have to show patience and wait for the rifle! Any additional advice other than cleaning the barrel before I shoot it?

Hey john,

The only thing that comes to mind is check out some YouTube video's on the magazine installation if you have not already. Once you have done it several times it will be second nature. There is a line on the magazine that I always put at the 12:00 position so you will know when the magazine is empty.

I also ordered 2 extra magazines and the single shot adapter that I mainly use at the gun club range.
I stop shooting when the needle gets to the yellow. I have not cleaned my barrel, but I do not know if this is good advice or not?

I had a slow leak in my tank that took me a couple months to realize why I was not getting anywhere near the fills I should have. I would recommend after you get your tank filled to fill a spray bottle with soapy water and spray it around all connections where you see teflon tape, if you do not have any bubbles then all is good. I had to redo the teflon tape on my second gauge.

I can't think of anything else.

Enjoy!

Thanks for the heads up on the leak check for the air bottle. Having flown hot air balloons and dealing with pressurized propane for the last 40 years I definitely will check the bottle for leaks. Looks like the gun is scheduled for delivery today. Cannot believe how fast the service was. I expected to have the tank for a week before the rifle arrived! Again, I appreciate the recommendation. Great prices and great service... Enjoy your stay in FL. I was born and lived there for 45 years before leaving 20 years ago. John
