The Godfather of Airguns reviews the Artemis PP700

[Luis Leon]

Who else besides Canada Shooting Supply carries the PP700S in the .22 version. Everywhere I look they're out of stock or only have the .177.
Also, has anyone gotten the carbine stock for theirs? I would also like to get an LDC if/when I buy one.

Check out Krale... that’s where I got my pistol and folding stock. It is a dandy little rig for me as a mini carbine.

[Habanero69er]

Thanks Denis & Luis, but both Airgun Archery & Krale are out of the .22 version. Those were the first places I checked.
Also, is there a difference between the Canadian version vs the ones sold in the States & Krale?

[Wayne52]

Wayne, what ldc is that, and did it require an adapter. I think I'm making a little too much noise for early morning here.

Michael that is a good LDC but I've got an even newer nicer one on it now that's got a carbon fiber tube on it, I'll be posting a picture of it soon because I just got done doing a chrony test and close target test because I'm definitely going to try shooting this more than I did in 2018, it's still doing about the same power now as it was over 2 years ago averaging 17.5pfe on regulated shots.

Here's an up to date picture and a little testing of my PP700SA.



First time I've put my 19.6 grainers through this gun too, I'm happy but I'll re sight it in at 20 yards for these now.

Is there any difference between the Canadian version vs USA version?  🇺🇸

Wayne, I'm beginning to suspect that you, sir, are an excellent marksman!

Going outside to practice some more; but no use posting my results any time soon!

I did qualify as an expert in the Army for the M16 but that was a very long time ago, heck when I was a kid my younger brother and I use to light the Ohio Blue Tip match's for fun with our airguns but I sure that heck ain't as steady now as I was back then.   I was resting to do the five shots wanting to find out how the accuracy of the pellets was going to be, it's definitely not an off hand shot by no means. . . . I wish it was

[aluminumfetish]

 We have a few "experts" here on the GTA that also struggle to make heads or tails of the Condors. I guess you have to have a filter to extract to actual knowledge and filter the fluff. Knowing what the AirForce guns are capable of, and knowing what the PP700 is capable of, I guess anybody selling them short hasn't done the leg work to know for sure. These guys are out there to sell product (often the competitors product) so I prefer to take it ALL with a grain of salt. The PP700 is a gem for the price, those that own them will surely agree.

Artemis PP700 – Review Part 4!

[Wayne52]

I see they're still saying it's a 250bar fill gun and it's not, it's a 220bar fill gun.

[KnifeMaker]

Oddly enough Wayne, the 18 gr. JSB's are the only pellet I have that doesn't shoot well our of it. Now that's different!


The Cast NOE pellets, and the .223 bullets sized to .216 are both excellent in it.


I've posted these before, but it shoots too nice to not do it again.


Bullets at 20 yards, Green target, 30 cardboard target,  and 80 yards on white steel ram. Two touching and one just below with the NOE slugs using an ADE Reflex Green Dot sight. The 30 yard target is two shots, sight adjust, and 5 more on target. Dead on! Rested of course. I'm old ya know. LOL


Man, this thing is a shooter! Love the ADE Reflex sight. Scorpion count is over 1,6oo now.     I've backed off on them for now. Walked up one too many Texas Diamondbacks.
The picatinny rail on the bottom of the airtube is for the black light for the scorpion hunting. JB Weld is holding it on just fine for months now.  

Sure wish they would sell us some of these barrels. One of the most accurate barrels, shooting a larger selection of both pellets and slugs that I have ever tested.

Very nice shooting Michael!

Now, can anyone tell me where can you buy one of these .22 pistols? Seems everyone is out of them.

[SILENT SQUIRREL]

Gentlemen
I'd like to buy a PP700S-A in 22 caliber.
So far the only vendors I can find with the 22 in stock are in Canada & Spain.
Both will ship to the US and cost with shipping is comparable

I know Canada has FPS (and FT/Lb?) limits and believe Europe does also

Does it make a difference where I buy from?
Can the pistol be easily modified to bring it back up to its full potential?
Are Canadian & Euro guns manufactured/altered in such a way that mods are locked out?

Ed

[Backyard Shootr]

Krale has the PP700S-A in stock and they come full power already. Also Canada Shooting Supply sells just the 22cal barrel. (KnifeMaker)

[anti-squirrel]

Don't hesitate to order from Aceros or Mundilar. 

I've been extolling the virtues of these for 3 years- including just how darn not-pellet-picky.  I know when I break mine out, shortly thereafter there's a dearth of squirrels.  Mine's "only" a .177 but it has taken squirrel at 40+ yards now using CP Domes (brown-box).  I wouldn't focus on just .22- Athis is a small, lightweight, regulated PCP.  I'm not saying it can't shine as a .22, but I feel the greatest virtues are more profound in .177.

 This pistol is just like the UK 12 FPE springers- you find any of the right pellets (only 14 are excellent in mine), get the right scope, and you can connect from a good little ways out.

[aluminumfetish]

(only 14 are excellent in mine)

 
I regret selling my PP700SA. I had mine in .177 shooting at about 12 FPE and it was the most fun I have had in awhile. It shoot well with everything I put in it. I am also on the prowl for another.

Thanks, anti-squirrel for the Aceros recommendation.
I had already been to their website so your words reinforce the prospect.
They sell the ONIX version

Thanks too, Backyard Shootr.
Krale does indeed also have the pistol
They sell the Artemis version,

Do either of you (or other readers) know what differences there are be between Kral's Artemis PP700S-A and the ONIX from Aceros?

There both the same gun just different names.

[Ribbonstone]

Kind of wish you didn't pick "godfather"...feels like if I disagree, I'll "sleep with the fishes".

[KnifeMaker]

Not needing another bbl for the 00, but would like to have a few spare barrels here to play with full length. (Rifle). But SPA will not sell barrels to the US. Not even to customers with bad barrels from them.
