Re: Took the leap
If you want a tune, check out the Yellow Forum or Air Gun Warriors. There are quite a few people out there who do tunes and quite a few with good reputations.
John Thomas does tunes on some air guns, he worked on one of mine and did a very good job. He is in PA. PM me if you want his phone number.

Re: Took the leap
Think I'm just going to drop in a lower power spring and possibly make a guide (I machine things).
I do have a line on a 10m PCP rifle and tempted to just go that route rather than learn to shoot a springer.

Re: Took the leap
It's 3x the cost but I'm definitely tempted. Not really an analog for my SB rifle anymore though.
The rifle in question has been modified for FT and shoots 12fpe but I've been told it can be dropped back to original speed easily.

Re: Took the leap
I took the BIG leap and it arrived. Dear me this thing will spoil you for ergonomics and trigger.

Re: Took the leap
Looks very nice! I use a 2002 in the alu stock.
Is that one modded for FT power?

Re: Took the leap
It's been modded to 12fpe but in a reversible way. Basically the plenum volume was increased and can have spacers installed to run at 10m speeds.
I have to make the spacers (I have a lathe so no big deal), it came with a second regulator. The previous owner got one of the regs shooting 10m speeds but with the higher volume it's both gas inefficient and a bit loud so the spacers are a priority.
I'm going to run 10m speeds all the time unless Field Target becomes popular locally.

Re: Took the leap
If the accuracy is there, the 12fpe will be beneficial at rams I would think

Re: Took the leap
I think that the Coop Shoot would be a good tournament to stretch it out at 12fpe. A enclosed, very well lit environment.

Re: Took the leap
Wouldn't qualify for the 10m class then, they have to be running around 6fpe. Technically the class requires an unmodified 10m rifle but I doubt anyone would protest a gun that's running at stock speeds which doesn't have a bunch of weight added.

Re: Took the leap
If in reading the rules correctly there is no limitation on scope height in air rifle. Currently I'm well under smallbore height but I'd like to bump it up just the reduce the scope adjustment needed to get to 45yds (currently 12.5moa)
