PP700 adventure started(Artemis PP700s-a)

[anti-squirrel]

I got mine in December, but there were people before me.  So don't hate me.   Donny just had the most recent thread covering how awesome it was.

SPA needs to get some of their other new models here so I can throw more money at them... the M-30, P-15, and that single-shot rifle version of the PP700

[Cathartes]

Wow, I just read about the M-30! SPA is really getting interesting.

Does anyone know if the .22 version is more/less accurate, or about the same, as the .177? I have a .22 cal order and trying to wait patiently for it to arrive, should be here next week.

I don't see where there would be any difference in accuracy.  Donny (Rallyshark) bought the .22 IIRC and reported good accuracy.

My recommendation would be to purchase a Chronograph if you don't have one.  It will make tuning and adjusting your pistol much easier.  And be sure to have a good sampling of pellets, though if you end up like me, you'll be able to feed it a bunch of different "flavors" to good effect.

Lol one step ahead, had the front for a while now, handy for a few different guns, and a straight shooters sample pack. I was just curious if anybody had seen any significant differences between the 2 calibers as far as accuracy is concerned.

Well heck-darn, I'd say you are well-prepared to provide us the details once you start making one raggedy hole in your target at 30 yards.

Cuz it will happen.

Really hoping so, maybe she'll make it here by this time next week...fingers crossed

I hate all of you.  Who started this???  Donny!!!  David

I only started this thread, but I definitely wasn't the first to get one

Mine is .177 by the way!  I don't think there is really any difference between the two that I've seen.  You just gotta find the right pellet.

[anti-squirrel]

I thought you bought the .22.  I need to go back and get my threads unwoven.  Somebody bought the .22 and reported great accuracy.    Like I said, SPA seems to be hitting home-runs with these pistols and their other PCPs.  I certainly will be ordering a few more of their guns, for sure.

[WildCJ5]

I had just enough time to shoot two groups before dark tonight. At just under 30 yards and off a bag it gave ragged hole groups. Way better than I expected for the price.

 I need to adjust the trigger, it is beyond heavy. It is shooting really hot with a low shot count so that will also need adjusting.

[Cathartes]

I have the .22 and it is quite accurate. I need to sit down and do some formal testing, but I've been doing a lot of 15-40 yard plinking at it's doing very well. Really shocked some guys at the range by shooting 3/5 spent shotgun shells at the 25 yard slow shot station. Funny thing is that they were more impressed with my shooting because it was an air pistol, but I probably could not do that with any of my firearms.

I am looking for a manual for this pistol or trigger adjustment and disassembly instructions. I have searched but just keep coming up with links for reviews and sales. Thanks.

It isn't all that hard to adjust.  The little screw in front of the trigger is the 1rst stage travel adjustment, and the second screw behind the trigger(must remove the grip) is the sear engagement/pull weight.  Just don't get too carried away with the second screw.  I've heard one method is to cock the gun(with it pointed in a safe direction and unloaded), and turn the second screw ccw I think until the gun fires.  Then add a half turn back on to the screw, and you should be set.  Again, I haven't tried that so....

Does anyone have a good scope recommendation for these pistols? I own a truglow red dot, but thinking about keeping it on the current pistol and scoping this one to squeeze the most out of it that I can.

Just about anything works- I've used a Tasco 2.5-10 Target Varminter (wayyy too big!), a CP red-dot, a cheapo reflex, and a Otimus 3-9x32.

A smaller scope is probably better, depending on your shooting.  Amazon has some really nice red-dot- but putting a $80 red-dot on a $200 PCP pistol seems a little strange; and at the same time, I took my red-dot off because the dot was too big.  I don't have any pistol scopes at this time, but these pistols are definitely worthy of better glass.

My primary recommendation would be a scope commensurate with your shooting- and something with a widely adjustable focal point.

[Ozarkairgunner]

Okay, what do y'all think about this?



I'm trying to find a god option around the $50, no more than  $80, of easier shooting and get more out of this little devil. Problem is that I have trouble seeing paintball sized targets at 15 yards or further. The sight I shown has a parallax setting at 60 yards.

I bought one of these: simmons 2-6 true hunter

It looks real nice! but i don't get my pistol until later this week.

[anti-squirrel]

C.J., that scope has been on my Amazon Wishlist for a long time.  I want one, but there's always something else I want more.

A 2.5 MOA dot is pretty darn nice, though.

[Ozarkairgunner]

Thanks guys

[Rallyshark]

If you get a red dot, a small dot is best.  You may also consider the fixed 4X Simmons hunter pistol scope too.  It is a little less expensive than the 2-6x version.  I bet that 2x red dot would be nice as well though.
