Post by Leon »

If you are one of those people who have sleepless nights caused by not knowing the definitive optimum pellet for your air pistol, you need this device !

Looks very nicely made too...

Please, be the first to buy one, so the rest of us can sleep at night knowing we don't need it.

Wowie Zowie. I'm sure Rover will be first in line for one of these. BTW, I noticed that they are using an Aeron B98 for demo purposes. I own one of these and it needs work. Does anyone know of someone who can service mine?

Hell, you don't need one of these infernal machines. After long and arduous study, Sweet William and myself have determined that the best for your purposes are the .177 pellets.

Oh man, I was wondering why my groups were so bad with those .22 ones in my Hammerli! When I angrily called my retailer after several unreturned emails all I could hear was what sounded like muffled laughing on the other line!

The beta testers of this contraption are going to get sleepness nights and nagging when the wife finds out that it costs 184 euros... Thanks, but no thanks!

Really nothing there that anyone with a home workshop couldn't make in wood in an afternoon. And if you have a 3d printer for the clamp and brackets it would look just as professional. Hmm, there's thought.

So, how much extra for the remote trigger release? "untouched by human hands!"

I have a Crosman Vigilante revolver and for the money, it's probably the best value out there. I actually bought two to begin with. One of them would have problems with getting the CO2 cartridge to seal. I tried everything but nothing would work. The store took it back; no questions asked.

The one that I have left will shoot about 50-60 shots before accuracy drops off. It came with 3 clips; two for the pellets and one for the BBs. Throw the BB clip away as you'll ruin the rifling with steel BBs.

I ordered a pack of 3 clips for the pellets and load all 5 clips up to shoot with one CO2 cartridge. It saves me from counting rounds. When all 5 clips are empty, I change the CO2 cartridge and load up the 5 clips again.

You can find the Vigilante almost anywhere online or in the big-box stores.

Probably not suitable for "Olympic style" shooting.

I´d better consider the Crosman Vigilante .177 revolver too, I recon. Great value for the money, you said. Maybe I´ll trade in my Steyr LP10 for one?

The best bang for your buck pellet airpistol out there is the Beeman P17. Not "olympic grade" level, nonetheless, will hone your skills.
