min power

[xraiderx 94]

Hello lads and ATB

Just took my brand new R10 22 back to the shop to be sent to BSA its only doin 7 ftbs

my question is what is the minimum power you would accept from a new gun because when i get the phone call saying the gun is sorted and back at the shop i will be asking them to chrono it before i make the 50 mile trip again so whats the minimum lads

CHEERS

hi buddy

 

some shops will set them to 11fb because if you use heavy pellets the power my go up where if they set them to 11.6 and you use heavier pellets than you narmally use then you may go over the legal limit

Nice one.....

 

I would say a new gun normally comes out the factory around 10.6ft/lbs this is ample to do paper punching and hunting!

 

More importantly have one for me...

Hi Garrick,

 

I was at Tenches workshop a week and a half ago and i watched him adjust the power of my r10 using a 16 grain Air Arms pellet.

 

11.7 ish with a 16 grain pellet is fine.

 

The r10 is really easy to adjust and someone could probably do it for you a lot quicker than BSA.

Hey andy that sounds about right as thats exactly what mine is doing as we found out yesterday and is ample power for me, proven on quarry at range on a number of ocasions, im not going to mess with mine (atleast not until the warranty expires lol) while the accuracy is there as you suggested.

in general springers give more power with lighter pelets, pcp's with heavey, but there's always going to an acception sooner later.

 

10.5 is a good starter...11.5 sort of a sencible max.

The the gun is only six weeks old and already on its way to BSA mate

But when the bank balance is back up i will be having some work done it ie barrel and shroud shortned and either tenched or blueprinted by mr bowkette whats the cost about of those two jobs and whats the difference between tuned and blueprinted
