Hi Tom, I have the .25 Dominator (tube version) and it is very consistant at 835 fps with JSB Kings. Chairgun says that is just a smige below 40 ft lbs. The gun is very accurate with those pellets and I have posted a 25 shot group at 35 yards already. Today at the WMA I was shooting small juice cans and small pine cones at 100 yards (rangefinder) braced against a tree, connecting 5 out of 5 tries. The Dominator can reach out and touch something when necessary.I have not yet attempted to adjust the regulator, just putting lead down range for some break-in for now. Fortunately, my Dominator has been trouble free with the exception of the cocking lever linkage pin, which I secured with Locktite. Mine arrived half full and has not leaked air at all so far.FYI, I hand pump all my PCPs and the Dominator is not bad at all, even going to 25 mpa.
Tom,I have only shot it a few dozen times, and basically just casually, so yeah, no hard data, just impressions and observations for now. I know I have hit small stuff at 50 yards enough times to guess that the gun has very good accuracy potential, but beyond that, dunno yet..I have only pumped it once, and only to about 220 bar, and that wasn't too bad, but it definitely makes me think about a Nitrogen set-up in my near future.But to be honest, I don't think the gun is worth the asking price, there are a lot of potential issues that can stand between a new owner and great groups at 100 yards. If that is your goal, I would suggest a gun more likely to do that from the get-go. For me, that was my HW110, it has been my base-line for accuracy from the start..

It is still not legal to hunt deer in GA with an airgun but pigs and yotes are ok and all small game. The area I hunt is a 14,000+ acre WMA about 17 miles north of my home and it is overrun with old logging trails. I like to move constantly (mostly for the exercise) and stalk hunt primarily. I used to do up to 12 miles on a daily hunt with a Hatsan BT65 (12+ lbs) plus a small pack and that was brutal, but I can't carry that much weight more than a couple miles any more and still have fun. The P12 is great on these type hunts (yes I do have a sling on all my rifles) and the Dominator will be even better if I can get the power up to where I want it. have you killed any pigs with a PCP? which one did you use? yes the BT 65 is real heavyYes, Yes I have. With a 15 lb. .257 custom shooting 80 gr hp's at a grand. Since a rather serious back surgery, I'm not allowed to even lift it yet. Grrrrr!!!! Getting bored for sure. But the much less manly Maximus is getting it done with the tree rats and vermin around here just fine! Even though the scope weighs over 2 lbs. and the night light is another lb. Not to mention the bipod. LOL!!!Knife hate to hear you had back surgery I never saw it work hope it does for you. tiger woods a billionaire had the best doctors in the world and his 3 or 4 surgeries failed. is you 257 a weatherby mag or the 257 Roberts or a PCPWow what a load of unsolicited crud you just heaved towards someone who is looking forward to recovering from their surgery! Freedom of speech and all that, but one should NEVER tell someone in the process of healing to expect a negative outcome. Don't think much before you write what is in your head, do you? who are you oprah winfrey. mind your own business. I said I hope it works for himmy wife and I have both had back surgery.100% successful and full recovery was in a matter of days. Piece of cake. I laugh at all the people who fear back surgery. A failed back surgery is as rare as hens teeth nowadays.
