PP700 adventure started(Artemis PP700s-a)

[Hobbyman2007]

I took my pistol out on a hunt just the other day. I let a friend of mine use the .25 PP700SA. After two sight in shots he was able to head shot two partridge up in the trees at 20 yards . He’s sold on it . At first he was going to bring a shot gun. Now he’s saving up for either the PP700sa or pp750. I’m still on the fence which I prefer. I do like the mags and stock on the later of the two . But the simplicity of the 700 is nice .

Denis,

Mine is a hunting rig too and especially great to use from my truck.

I shoot it EVERY DAY and frequently tether it to a Scuba tank. It's got a cheap Simmons 4x scope on it and that's perfect for hunting, plinking and target shooting at 17 yards. Single load is just fine except in the dark when ratting. I weld aluminum so I've had a A LOT of fun with making stocks for it using .5" al tubing. Total fun thing.

I've been looking at these for a month now, I just ordered one in .22 and a stock for it under the Onyx name. $237.00 from Aceros, 15% off for black friday, ordered an adapter from DonnyFL too.

That's Awesome Johnny, Lightweight.....

I have a Simmons 4X true pistol scope on mine, and it works quite well   I only use mine as a pistol, so the pistol scope is a must for me.

Mine is actually a rifle scope but I have it shoved way back and it's the perfect combo. No magnification adjustments, just point and shoot. I actually shoot better with it than a Hawke Vantage

Donny, have you ever tried the Taco hold using a rifle scope on a pistol? Very much enhances accuracy and is a standard in long range pistol shooting comps. I use it on the lowly reflex for longer shots and when I need to really be dead on a very small target.   


Nice Going Johnny!

For really long range or top precision, I use the SideWinder position. Go down the page a bit and you will see the Texas State Rifle Asst. The sidewinder is the pics on the tables further down on the pic list. Be very careful with the sidewinder with revolvers. Particularly magnums. A leather shield is required on the leg to prevent serious burns from the cylinder too bore gap.

No sir, I haven't tried those holds.  I am familiar with them, but just never used them. I usually do pretty well with traditional holds though.  It is extremely rare that I shoot longer than 50 yards with a pistol, and often less than 30 yards. 

[JohnnyPDX]

I've had it for months and it still makes me smile when making the ragged one holers and better.

It sounds broken

Nice looking pp700 you got there Johnnypdx.  I pity any rat that wanders into your yard.

With pb's it is not unusual for me to shoot at 300-400 yards. With the pcp, 100+. So it helps a lot!
I won quite a bit of bucks at the Ft. Hood range years ago with a 1911 shooting a 30" plate at 400 meters. Everybody and his brother bet against me. I loaded 8 rounds and fund the range with the first. The bets were against any hits. I hit 7 out of 8 and each paid handsomely LOL!!!  I won enough to buy a LOT of ammo that day.


Oddly, no one would bet against me with my hot 41 Mag. GRRRRR!!!

That's good stuff there!  I'm not good enough for that kind of stuff, lol.

This thread encourage me to dust off my PP700 and go out and play. It still had 1000 psi in after sitting more than a year and I forgot now sweet, fun and accurate this little bugger is.
Now maybe I will install the Huma regulator that I purchased 1 1/2 years ago.

Congratulations! Onyx is a cooler name than Artemis, same gun, better name.

Post results.

Yes, put that Huma in there, you'll love it!

I really like my Huma. Amazing how tight it keeps the spread between shots, ES.
The only thing I find is the nagging air-blast/leak at the 'Moveable Connector' as the parts manual calls it.
I call it the door/latch that you close after you load the pellet.
I fixed it with an oversize Oring but now it's back. I'll replace the Oring to see if that fixes it?
Think I'll name this pistol C.F.L./Constantly Fixing Leaks. Yep and that includes the Huma Reg. One of the Orings had a nagging ultra slow leak.
Fixed it with a larger OD Oring. So far that's doing well now.
Pressure Gage Oring was another one that needed replacing.
Just have to keep at them,Orings, until I replace them as they go.
I'm still enjoying the PP700 in it's carbine configuration. At 15 FPE it's all I need to
defend the bird feeder and shoot in basement at 15 yards.
Accuracy at 35 yards, all that's needed, I can't complain.

[JohnnyPDX]

I ended up with a different stock solution but the folder stock is appealing and attractive enough. Maybe someday.

Got lucky with the regulator and seals! Barrels needed some TLC and they both shoot great now. As stated above the bird feeders are defended without overpower and pass through that would end up in the neighbor's shed.

Have not modded other than adding a picatinny rail to the trigger guard.

[Toddspeed]

Matt, that is one sweet looking carbine set up.

Many thanks for the compliments on my carbine.
It's my go to gun when business needs to be taken cre of.
Once I get a few things fixed I'll be enjoying it even more.

I kinda cheated. They assumed it was a .45 acp 1911. It was a custom 10mm. LOL! [size=78%] [/size]
