It probably won't be long before Mike is out of these guns, there's a paragraph on his site that explains that Xisico won't be importing any for the next six months . . . . time will tell

Scott,
I'm hoping scope is delivered today, so I can get setup and start shooting.
Will post results soon.
Good to know most pellets will work.
One thing I did notice, the crosman pellets appear / feel oily compared to the HN pellets.
Is this normal?
Do I need to "clean" the crosman pellets?
Gotta go shovel off a couple inches of wet snow now, so the driveway doesn't become a skating pond

The JSB 25.39gr pellets easily fit into the magazines.
I only shot 2 of the pellets but they were 805 and 807fps out of my 705-9K .22 for an avg of 805.5 fps and 36.59 fpe on the 3.5 power setting. I have the ports enlarged to 5/32 as well.
I'd need to shoot a few more to find out how well they group but that's all I had to test.

What is everyones opinion on the Sentry 705 deluxe .25?
I'm looking to get rid of my Sentry 702-4K .22 and get a Deluxe .25 or a .25 Avenger.

To be honest I think that they're all great guns, even the original ones were a fantastic design in my opinion. They are a lot of fun to modify for those that like to tinker and tough as nails in my opinion.

Here is a tool I made for removing the degas valve from the pressure tube.
Its a 16mm bolt with the head cut off, then I drilled a 1/4" hole in the middle about 1/2" deep.
I heated the bolt with a propane torch and inserted a 1/4" rod and brazed it into place with general metal silver solder.
The hole thing took about 5 minutes and makes removing the valve a snap.
Hope this helps someone.

Hello all. It's been a while since I was on the forum.
Sadly I dont have the room or time to shoot my rifle anymore.
I have a 705-9t .25 cal for sale if anyone is interested.
Has a power tune done by mike from flying dragon. Comes with BKL 30mm scope rings and TKO 6.5" MODERATOR.
$375 shipped if anyone is interested.
Pleas respond on this thread if interested.
Thanks!

For those of you with both 705 and 702.
What's the difference between the side lever vs bolt actions?
Is the 705 smoother or easier to cock?
I have only tested the 702 action a few times, but it seems rather stiff / awkward to engage.
My procedure is position my thumb behind the bolt to serve as an anchor while pulling back on the bolt.
Any tips for tweaking the 702 action?

In my case the 705 is hands down smoother and easier to operate. I currently own both models and both have their places. .22 and .25 cal in both models.

I agree with the cocking, the 705 side lever is really smooth and easy to operate. The 702 is stiffer to cock but its a nice little carbine rifle. I had both but just sold my 702.
I'm seriously looking at getting another 705 but in .25.
Racer1 what kind of performance are you getting from your 705 .25 and does it have Mike's tune or the ports opened up?
I'm trying to figure out what kind of fpe and accuracy I can get with the .25.

Buddy the 705/.25 is tuned by Mike. No idea what magic he worked on the inside though. At a 3 1/2 power setting,850ish FPS with several different pellet brands in the 25-32 gr range. Waiting for the Spring thaw here in the mountains for advanced testing.
My 702/.25 is self tuned and producing slightly lower results but still very adequate.

I do like sidelever better than bolt action myself, however the bolt action that I bought from HoosierDaddy is a very smooth action in comparison from the new 702's. The one that I got from Scott is one of the originals which had two separate airtubes in line and they were actually easy to install a regulator in. I'm sure that they probably did away with the original design to to save in production costs because there's less to the ones they're building now than the originals.

Here are some pics buddy.
The copper piece is to fill the gap between the shroud and aftermarket moderator. The original extended into the barrel shroud without that gap.

Nice looking gun Matt, it looks like I'm getting an air tank instead.
You should post this in the classifieds section, I think you'll get more people checking it out....just my opinion.
I sold mine within 30 minutes of posting it.
