OK, i bought the Syn-Rod from RL airgun supplies. this was a refurbished unit. other than the fact that it had a sticker, and 2600 psi in it when it showed up, i can't tell.

out of the box, i mounted scope, grabbed the pump, and topped it up to 3k. shooting 10.5 CPH pellets it easilly zero'd in 5 shots. 2 shots 3 inches high and left. fast adjustment, 1/2 inch high. one more adjustment, dead on.

factory settings, the 10.5 CPH was about 820 fps. i removed stock, followed instructions, and got it shooting 958/959 (was aiming for 960 just to see, and voila, hit it or at least close enough). mounted stock back, and re checked zero. shifted 1/2 inch left. adjusted scope. rechecked all screws. and started having fun.

getting roughly 30 shots, from 3k to 2400 psi. 30-35 pumps on benji pump to top it back off. (10 of those pumps are just to build pressure in the pump). shooting a half dime sized one hole group at 20 yds. have not touched lawyer spring, or even gotten a good rest, and its very breezy out side right now. probably 15 mph crosswind.

i do believe, i have screwed up.. its like a lays potato chip... bet you can't have just one...

just put about 200 pellets through it. had to make some small adjustments to the front barrel ring because it was touching on one side. quick scope adjustment after that. already claimed a HOSP! and pretty dang far out too! (like 55 yds).

errr...I think you're looking for that word spelled as 'waste'...but IFF one is fine for you, then by all means, suffer having just one. I will suggest not going to far with the folks who prefer several.
cheers,

Not sure how long you have been around airguns and how many you have actually owned/held/shot but not EVERY airgun can dime or sub-dime @ 20 yards. And what Ed says, to me, reads like this. If you buy an airgun that has great accuracy and power, it makes you want another. I get it and I think most airgunners do too.
And I guess I'm guilty of wasting my money too since I have 30 something airguns. No wait, they make me happy so it's not a waste, the way I see it.
To each their own.
But don't criticize us that are in it that enjoy it.
SAFE & Happy Shooting!!!!
Dave

Congratulations on your new rifle, sounds like you have a nice, solid shooter there,,, nice looking rifle too

Looking forward to your upcoming posts on the rifle as you get used to it and put it through it's paces.

As for some remarks made in this thread....... the authors intent was to share his excitement and enjoyment of his new rifle with fellow GTA members, something we can all appreciate having made similar posts ourselves in the past. If you cannot share the posters excitement then don't post.... inflammatory remarks will not be tolerated.

I am thinking he might have it wore out dez and nothing to hold onto. Ed might need new stock,barrel,o-rings and don't forget MORE PELLETS lol congrats on new shooter welcome to the darkside.

I apologize If I came off as being inflammatory and/or criticizing. That was not my intent. Just figured I could speak my mind here is all.
