PP700 adventure started(Artemis PP700s-a)

Yeah... expecting a nice package in the mail/UPS can really turn up the anxiety for sure. They are sweet pistols !

[Sfttailrdr46]

I'm Liking mine put a red dot on it and it is a hoot to play with.

[MonsterMaxx]

This is being returned from Rocker, so it's not just a pistol, it's a pistol that's had a bunch of love.

Have a Vortex Venom red dot sitting on my desk waiting...

[MonsterMaxx]

This thing is awesome!
Very quiet
Very accurate
Smooth operation

Thank you David, it's terrific.

This red-dot was well worth the $ too.

Here's a full charge at ~13yds (was ten yards, but had to drag my table out of the sun - whew it's hot!)  Lost count of the pellets - I'd guess 30ish.  The stickers were from sighting it in.  A couple I pulled it, trigger is a bit heavier than the AA and FX, but I'll figure that out soon enough.  I'd still be out there, at 90° and steamy, but had to take a break from the afternoon sun.
Will get the chrony out tomorrow.
Only thing I wish were different is that it was a repeater instead of a single shot.  Otherwise, perfect little pistol.

Robin my trigger has smoothed out a lot since I bought it.

[MonsterMaxx]

Trigger is smooth, breaks like glass, just a little on the heavier side compared to the AA and FX.

That is what it is all about right there!  David does good work

Need a travel case for it.  Preferably w/o having to take the LDC off.  Recommendations?

[Rallyshark]

There are many ways to do it.  I think it was Wayne that got a soft case for his.  I have an el cheapo $15 hard pistol case from Bass Pro that I use.  I do take the LDC off though.  It has the punch out foam in it, so I have a spot for the pistol and a spot for the LDC.  It is usually still dead on after I re-install the LDC.  The one time it was off was only a couple of clicks, which I fixed in about 2 minutes with a quick sight in.

here's what I bought for mine https://www.uspeacekeeper.com/products/smg-sbr-case#

[MonsterMaxx]

Cool! Thanks.

Now it needs some nice wooden grips too 

[MonsterMaxx]

OK folks, here's some strings over the chrony.  11.57gr Silver Arrows and 7.33 gr JSBs.
Still think the reg is one creepy thing, just not very consistent - compared to the huma and fx regs anyway.  But from playing with the pistol and shooting targets, it doesn't seem to matter much.  And the whole gun cost less than a FX reg costs. 
30 good shots at high power doesn't seem too bad. 
Average 9.2FPE from the arrows and 8.3FPE from the JSB.  Pretty decent for a .177 pistol, no?



I need to make some spinners...

[Wayne52]

That regulator on them takes a couple hundred shots before it settles in.

[Cathartes]

Yeah, something's wrong there... I would expect more consistency. I'm getting 30 shots in .22 with 12fps ES and 2.7 SD. I was getting about half that ES when tuned to 10 FPE. Do you know about how far your hammer is and roughly how tight your reg is set? If I had to totally guess, I'd say your reg is set pretty low and your hammer is pretty backed off?

[Masochisti]

I´m getting around 40 good shots with my .22 version. JSB 15.89gr at 640fps, regulator is set at ~95bar. This thing is amazing little beast, barks like one even with lcd. Just amazing value for the money...

That's about the power level I'm getting, but my ES widens a bit if I go much more than 30 shots... what's your ES like? They are sweet, aren't they?

[MonsterMaxx]

ES being max minus min, right?.  If we throw away the first one in the first string, 630-580=50, second string 749-689=60.

Still seems like the longer I wait between pellets the higher the speed is.

It shoots well and seems fairly accurate.  At 10-14yards it's blowing the center out of the target over 30ish pellets.  At 30yds, it's a little messier, but still pretty decent for a reddot sight.

I don't know on the settings, you'd have to ask David.

[Cathartes]

I had that issue at first, but raising my reg setting (and probably all the shooting I did) fixed that.

[AGEnthused]

Rather than start a new topic I hope it's ok if I ask this question, what tool am I going to need to use to use my rocker1 ldc and adapter?
I have seen that others have these ldc's on their airmax, I would rather install the adapter correctly.

[TleVta]

Get a good pair of snap ring pliers to remove the original muzzle bushing. David's fine gear threads onto the barrel hand tight. Haven't had issues with it coming loose afterwards.
