Hi Mark Not visited here for a while now, Just wondering what the TX is like compared to the 97 in 177? Ive got my 97,80,and 56TH all tuned to where they are nice and am looking to get a TX as it's such a lovely gun and so easy to strip for tuning (although by most accounts it doesn't need tuning!) Plus looks like a HC, what's your opinion on it against the standard length? Great Post as always! Robo9 Nelson New Zealand

Hey It's 177, self tuned, using its favourite pellet - jsb heavies 10.34 at a tad under 19ftlbs one of the pests was a head shot at 70m, I use a homemade tripod made with three carbon arrow shafts, works great!

The 56TH is in full swing, I call the current set up The Thors Hammer tune... Seemed like a good idea...

Hi Mark, I use 10.34 jsb heavies in my 56TH, and my 97, and more recently 10.34 Ultrashock in the 80, which it is very accurate with, my guns are over 12 ftlbs though.

Yep I know this... ☺ I run two identical chronographs, use chair gun app, sorry forgot to say the ft lbs on previous answer

Diana 56th 177 shooting jsb heavies tuned to shoot these at 875/880 fps it's capable of higher but spiralling occurs at 915, so tuned down slightly and it's just right, flat shooting and accurate for head shots to a good distance.

Haven't been to one of my favourite shoots for a while, and was asked by the owners of the estate to start controlling the rabbit population once more, so having recently got the 56TH retuned and extremely accurate, it was up early and into it, these ranged from 25 to 66m with the majority 50ish. The 56TH excels at long range work in the orchards...

I've fitted the ARH kit which is an all metal guide set up, to a very close tolerance, its smooth and easy to shoot, very short mild recoil, no buzz or twang whatsoever, and surprisingly output of 14 ftlbs in 177, as you can see from the pictures, thats enough.....

Yes, I've recently adjusted the power of the 56TH to shoot jsb heavies at 875 /876 as per Hector Medina's advice (Diana tuning guru) and the accuracy is superb, around 1 ftlb knocked down

Just fitted the ARH kit to my HW80 177 with the vulcan piston seal, ran about 250 jsb heavies through it then took it out for a walk around a mates 6ha block, got these....

It's hovering around 19 ftlbs in 177 about max for the calibre, running a vortek PG2 SHO kit fitted with custom 135 Wire Spring plus full internal polish

harvested these from a local vineyard (I'm in NZ...) with my nicely tuned 56, if I manage to get a shot off the result is usually lights out, rabbits at 42 m, hare caught unawares 35m quartering away shot through car window off the knee. ☺

yep my blue Demon 97 rocks! The hare was instant lights out with ftt at 14.6 ftlbs 70m shot! extremely accurate!
