PP700 adventure started(Artemis PP700s-a)

Lee,
I have a light mounted on the shroud using a rail and a couple of reverse dovetail mounts. It works great and out of the way. Then using a QD mount I can remove the light when not needed.

Please share of picture of your setup, I am curious.

[screwwork]

Here you go Lee

Somehow I did not get both photos in the first post?

Thank you! Now I see what you mean. Not a bad idea. When you mount something heavy like a flashlight, doing you notice any POI shifts?

[screwwork]

I didn't see any POI change using a red dot scope.. Now my LED (IR or Red LED) light is very small 1.0 OD x <4.0 inches long and light.
pardon the pun. I know you can come with a better shroud rail mount than mine. Send me a PM if you need anymore info.

LOL! Thanks for that. I think I have a few magpul rails floating around, I will give it a try.

Yeah, the T-slot on the side of the shroud is just begging to have something attached to it...

The pp700sa is definitely on my short list.

Where would you order from? US or overseas?     

And what caliber?  Heck I'll probably end up with both eventually.

I bought mine from Mike at Mrodair. http://yhst-139878093962642.stores.yahoo.net/airmaxprpi.html
They are on sale right now and has the best price I have seen anywhere. Mike is a good guy and will treat you well.

Mike ships anything that he's already got in stock promptly, usually takes less than a week !!! I'm seriously thinking of getting me another one in .22 caliber just for a backup and possibly modifying one of the two.

[gmtx77]

Thanks guys.  Just ordered the .22.  I'll let you know how it shoots.

If it is anything like mine it can be addicting to shoot. I have already burned through almost a tin of JSB 13.43 pellets in fact I need to put in an order for 10 tins most of my .22 rifles love them

Just had mine out with a friend. 

After working on the block this morning I determined it was too thin and this was what caused it to be so loud.  Air was escaping the breech when it was fired.  I went back to stock until my new ones are made - soon I hope.

So we got it out and setup targets at 10 and 20 yards.  Sighted in the reddot on the bench and proceeded to have a little informal freehand competition.  We had so much fun it was ridiculous.  Shot the better part of half a tin of pellets.  He was shooting a breakbarrel pistol and wasn't much slower than I though the PP700 clearly had a LOT more punch.  Only thing slowing us down was putting out a new target from time to time.

What a blast.  This thing is very accurate at 10yds where we did the bulk of the playing.  Like dead center bullseye accurate. 

I still have to figure out the slow leak, but pressure it up and shoot and it's very consistant.

Now...it's no $150 gun anymore ($200 in optics, $80 LDC, $150 in huma/tune, etc...), but still, loads of fun. 
I do wish it was a repeater, maybe next year they'll have one.  I wouldn't hesitate to buy another Artemis pistol that's for sure.

im very satisfied with mine too. i also invested in huma reg, hawke red dot, weihrauch silencer and adaptor.

BUT which gun for ~500$ could beat this PP700W now ? i have no idea

precision, shot count, extremly low differences in fps, simplicity... its an amazing good pcp pistol!!
i can dissesamble and rebuild mine in under 15min with a total different setting.

the features of externally adjustable regulator, transfer port, and hammer spring are all very compelling as well. I love mine.

[Sfttailrdr46]

  Mine is still untouched other than putting 10 to 20 down the barrel every time I go into the man cave. In fact I like mine so much I just ordered the CP2 package deal from Mrod Air the other day and looking for a good used Varmit .22 so  I can build a Lego PCP over the winter

[Wayne52]

Don I've been thinking about doing the same thing but still undecided

[Sfttailrdr46]

  When I am playing with my AG's in the man cave I forget where the refrigerator is so I don't get yelled at by SWMBO about gaining weight. It also keeps the Dr's off my back about cholesterol and A1C . So I watch less TV and playing with my AG's keeps everybody happy as long as my personal nurse doesn't find out how much I spend on toys

Shot some strings with my PP700 w/ Huma reg set @ 105bar. 10ishFPE was my goal.
Burned up a mix of old .22 Benjamin-Sheridans and brown box CP.
