thanks Matt, BErnie and Wayne.


Hobby, what the heck do you mean you denounced you jr Evanix 550?


Sizer just arrived! Back to the shop. woo is me. I'm plum tuckered.


Sear failed on the Artemis this morning while getting ready to hunt  Scorpions. Wes Bob has it handled though. Whew!!!  I was skeered!


And it was only the second outing for the new Scorpion light. GRRRRR!!!
That thing is amazing!

Just bought one. It is a Canadian gun in .22, will i still be able to get the good power out of it? I have some spots with some big lizards but need something the neighbors won't freak out over. Got the folding stick and it will fit in my little pack. Not sure if I love this forum or hate it...... you guys are real spendy!

Yes, it can be easily hot rodded. Mine came from Canada, and Wes did some work on it,but he has stopped doing if. Kinda worried about getting in trouble I think.


Simply enlarge the ports and uip the spring pressure. Up the Reg as well if you need.   I've got mine set right at 20 fpe shooting cast bullets.

Rocker1 has a nice ldc and adapter for it. Works very well!!!

Where did you get it from?

[Wayne52]

Zac I think you'll find that the PP700SA is a really great deal and lizards shouldn't be a problem for it.  I have mine scoped with a pistol scope and use it like a pistol as well.

Wayne, the parts came in yesterday the 27th. already had her out hunting.

I need to start shooting mine more often because they're sure a fun gun indeed.



It's been a while since I've looked through a pistol scope and I need to practice more with it.

Wayne, I love mine for the same reasons and it has the same LCD and scope. I did pick up a nice comfortable leg holster when I'm in the woods.

You will need to adjust the hammer tension and the regulator. Maybe open up the transfer port. Being they're tuned for sub 500 FPS with 14.3 grn.

Been crazy lately with storm prep, the aftermath of a miss and getting stuff over to the Bahamas. But i finally got to take this thing out of the box, put some air in and take a few shots. Not too bad with the iron sights at 10 yards freehand. One ragged hole about the size of a nickle. That's the good news the bad is it has a pretty good leak. Left it at 18 overnight it was at 15, then down to 12 and now 10 over the course of 2 days. So as i have stated in other threads i am NOT a very mechanical guy and i am not sure how much of this i can handle or should try so i will need some guidance. Where to start?

Probably leaking from the non return valve for the fill.. It's just a O ring, mine was lose.

[SoCalZac]

I got a .22 pp700sa from Canada Shooting Supply and will Be drilling out the ports on it. I noticed it leaks from the breech pretty bad. I put a tissue over the breech and fired it, it blew a nice hole in the tissue.  Is there anything else I should look for besides the o-ring? The folding transfer port feels pretty loose when I fold it up.

[SoCalZac]

I tried a little silicone grease on the breech o-ring and the leak is gone. That was a simple fix. The oring felt really dry so I will replace it when I drill out the ports.

[SoCalZac]

I was wondering what the stock transfer port size was a .22 and should I just take it it up to 11/64?

Also how do you adjust the regulator on these?  Mine came set at 70bar as it is a Canadian version.

Hex screw forward of the trigger under the gun. Kinda need a chrony to set it.

Here’s a test , crank the hammer spring to near coil bind , if it shoots faster than what you want lower the reg t’ill you get 5% faster than your wanted speed . Once the reg is set , lower the hammer tension until you get to the desired velocity. Hope that makes sense .

[anti-squirrel]

IIRC, screw counter-clockwise to increase the setpoint, but I might have that backwards.  You can also do 1/4 turn each way and see which is louder.  Not exactly accurate for a setpoint, but you will be able to tell which increases the setpoint.  Louder = more velocity with these.

Incidentally, I took a couple shots with mine today.  I think I'm creeping up on 18,000 pellets.  The vast majority have been CP Domes in the brown box.  While not the most accurate, they remain in the top 5 and I can surgically remove pinecones from the trees with this pop-gun.

I've actually forgotten what my gun is set to- I think roughly 14 FPE with the .177 Crosman domes.  I know a squirrel at 30 yards is going to get fatal lead-poisoning if it stops moving long enough to put crosshairs on the eye socket or ear canal.
