    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.
  5. Robo9
    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.....
  10. Robo9
    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. ☺
  15. Robo9
    yep my blue Demon 97 rocks! The hare was instant lights out with ftt at 14.6 ftlbs 70m shot! extremely accurate!
  16. Robo9
    The 97 was showing a little inconsistent on the chrono, so strip, inspect, fix, juggled the piston washers and power washers to reduce recoil still further, seem to have hit a sweet spot, as its now not hold sensitive at all, and extremely accurate with ftt's at 14.6 ftlbs so after a brief target session at home where one hole groups at 16 metres seemed easy went out early this morning with this result..... ☺
  17. Robo9
    Nice, is it a sub 12?
  18. Robo9
    Hey Is the gun 12 ft lbs?
  19. Robo9
    Hey, yep I've used the porta aim for serious rabbiting, it's at its best if the grass is not too long, and if it is just find a slight hump and your away! The only gun I've got that is a bit touchy, hit and miss on the porta aim is my HW80, which bounces a bit because of the recoil, but 97 is great, and the 56TH, obviously... ☺. you'll love it
  20. Robo9
    Yes exactly how it is for me, I shoot a blue laminate 97, a vorteked 80, and this big one, it IS heavy BUT! it's stock is so comfortable and balanced I can't stop myself from shouldering it every time I pass the tuning table, if it's resting on the tripod, it feels sort of gutless and weak to fire as the shot cycle is just about 95 + percent eaten up in the sliding sledge mechanism, but wow check the pallet back stop at 42 metres, 10.34 grain jsb heavies blasting straight through it, after it's recent overhaul and tune, it's cranking around 912/915 fps for 19+ ft lbs, and I managed three conse
  21. Robo9
    Yes, I was shown it by the manager of a hunting and fishing store, was a trade in from an old guy who had never used it, its big and heavy, but reliably accurate at very long distances, which is useful as Ive just picked up a permission on a private housing estate to lower the rabbit population, and as the rabbits are very alert and spook easily there a long range gun was what I needed, and it's doing the job nicely, I don't like pcps after owning one, and the recoiless action, with the power this is producing is awesome, It's zeroed for 62m!
  22. Robo9
    Out early at the weekend, spotted this one and took it cleanly with a brain shot aiming dead on, no holdover JSB Exact heavy @ 912fps (I'll let you work out the ft lbs, he he he) 70m! Diana 56TH self tuned recoiless rabbit sniper.... ☺, recently acquired this gun and was going to sell it, then I shot some targets! it shoots under an inch groups at 75m with JSB's, so recon it's a keeper. ☺
  23. Robo9
    yes don't I know it! chrono was on the slow boat from China.. ☺
  24. Robo9
    Ho ho ho The results.... drum roll if you please.. JSB heavies @ 906/912 so bang on the 19 ft lbs mark!
  25. Robo9
    The new chronograph has just landed and should be with me in the next 2 days. so will be dead keen to see what the hp is....
