PP700 adventure started(Artemis PP700s-a)

[KnifeMaker]

 have the same ldc from Rocker 1 as Wayne. For giggles I put a DonnyFl Shogun on it. Man it is huge on the gun.  Even with it's .30 passages, it is dead quiet. covers half of the Reflex sight window. LOL!


I decided to use it for night time scorpion hunting just because if is so darned quiet, and the Rocker1 day shooting.


The DonnyFl is heavy on it as well, but works fantastic using the taco hold.  


I am now using the modded MOE mold bullets almost exclusively in it. Accurate, and when the scorpions run and hide in the black light under small rocks on my backstop mound, it simply blows them the "L" up! Nothing like shrapnel to do a scorpion in. Muahahahahahah!  


Getting cool now at night, so very few scorpions left to hunt. count ended up very near 1,000 for  the summer.

Michael that's gotta be a blast shooting those scorpians

Most seem to be brass, which wear out where the ball detents are in the probe.  Any stainless ones avaliable ?  And what is the issue with the T. Robbs?

My Kentmachining stainless probe arrived, and is of excellent quality. In fact it fits the QD on my Hill pump hose far better than the factory probe.  Smooth to the touch, no burrs or scratches, slides into the gun nicely, zero complaints and nothing but praise.

Spent the day with a buddy having a shoot off, my Artemis against his 1701. We are equally matched age wise, both 64 and deteriorating sight, lol. His 1701 is fitted with the Williams sight, my PP700SA with the factory sight.

We were shooting from a rest in my shop at 10 meters, and I was able to accomplish far tighter groups than he could, despite having to hold approximately 6" above my target. With no way to adjust for elevation,  I had to concentrate to get my shots onto the bull, but it worked. I have an older TruGlo Panarama MK-IV that I'm going to install, which will allow me to adjust my point of aim in the future (read: this Sunday)

I didn't bother to keep track of my string, too busy having fun, but I have to say I am very well pleased with this gun. It was holding air fine, no leaks, no issues. Next week I will break out the chrony and see what my shot string is looking like, and get down to the business of finding which pellets it prefers. Oh, I was using Crosman Premier wadcutters, which worked a treat thus far.

I'd LOVE to find a wood grip for this pistol. It is a bit lighter than my friend's 1701, and for me at least, balances far better. That last is subjective of course, apples and oranges and all that.

If I have a few extra minutes this weekend I will try to post pics of my targets.

LOL, late night posting. the mold is a decked NOE .224 mold decked to throw at 29 grs. and sized to .216 for the PP-700 barrel. One hole groups at 25 yards using an ADE Reflex sight.


Scorpion count ended at near 1,800 for the summer. Not 1,000.  


Man, I love this Gun!!!

That sure is an incredible amount of scorpions! 
Sounds like it almost would be safe to come visit now, lol, though I don't know about a few months ago! 
Glad the pistol has been doing its job!

I was hoping I didn't have to ask this and could post only on the "technical" aspects of this gun, but I must ask about delivery time from the Spanish distributor.  I ordered October 18th and the tracking shows last scan in Spain on October 24th.  I get a "don't worry shipping is slow" from them.  How long is reasonable?  It's been almost three weeks.

I ordered mine from them, and got it in less than a week.  There's always the possibility of customs being the hold up too?  I could also be they are just slammed or out of stock.  I would shoot them and email.

It took something like 3 weeks to get mine from ADH back in 2017.

Length decked and sized for the PP700 at .216 it is .311." Full length it was not shooting well at all. At 39 grs, veloxity was in the very low 300's. Getting mid 400's at 29 gr. 

[darkcharisma]

Thanks Mike, I'll deck it for the pp700 if it's not working out for my marauder .224.

[OleST]

Approx 14 days till i get mine in .177

You guys had me at "poor man's leshiy"

Also, im going to get it cut for an vism flip dot sight (rmr cut) to keep the sight low and the cheek weld optimal when using the folding stock.

Quick question
When installing the Huma does the gauge on the pistol read fill pressure or reg presure?

This pistol was worth the wait!  It will primarily wear a red dot for bullseye practice, but I mounted a 3x9 rifle scope and 5 shot groups at 25yds:
CPHP 14.3:  Averaged 42mm
JSB 15.9:  Averaged 10mm
JSB 18.1: Averaged 14mm
This is excellent accuracy and, for me, gives higher scores at 10m than my 1701p (both w/Red Dots).
Out of the box it was 15FPE.  I turned down the regulator setting (~1/2 turn ccw) and lowered the hammer spring for 12FPE.  The curve may not look like a Huma and has a touch of the double umbrella, but the shot count that approaches 50 shots is pleasing.  Any recommendations on this appreciated.
Trigger was polished and the creep was removed by moving the first/second stage screws cw.  Nice first stage and crisp second stage that could use slightly less rated spring(s).
Since I don’t read Spanish and an English manual was not included, what are the lubrication points/maintenance suggested?

[Thane]

If your using a moderator barrel rotation will move the poi, drill and tap a set screw under the rear sight fixed it for me.

Breach block oring is the most likely one to go first.

I consider it the least maintenance gun I own.

Some come drilled and tapped, with a setscrew. The Canadian imported ones did.

[Lammy1000]

When drilling/tapping the M3 screw to prevent barrel rotation should the barrel be removed when performing this job?
