Skot Ruthless Teale 1,701 Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 I know what you mean, they should set them lower and let them bed in just under the limit.. but if they do them at 8-9 ftlb people will kick off.. that's there problem, if they cant wait for it to bed in then its tuff sh1t if it goes over. I walk to my permission and I always sh1t my brick about getting it tested by rozzer, even tho im not doing anything wrong they could still probably find a way to take it off me if they wanted to be arseholes. .. im trying to stay on the right side of the law, as do a lot of people.. but its so easy to get a rifle to shoot over the limit.. just different pellets can be upto 2ftlb difference !! 2 Quote Link to post

An interesting point regarding certain pellets raising the ft/lb reading on air guns, if this is the case there should be a law passed stating all air guns should be tested using specific pellets then perhaps all gunsmiths should set the ft lbs using said pellets.

Way I see it.. I use jsb exact in my hw100 and falcon accuracy plus in my 98 .. if they test it with them and its under that should be it.. but then they might try another brand and send it over the limit and then I get fu*ked !! personally I think its hard to stay under 12 ftlbs I bet at least % of brand new rifles will go over the limit after they bed in or with certain pellets!! and its ok saying its shooter/owners responsibility to stay within the law.. but that's effort and hassle getting your gun turned down! I had to go without my new hw100kt for 2-3 weeks while it got sent off to be turned down because I didn't want to risk having a firearm without a licence!!! get a new oy and cant bloody play with it lol I was gutted!

My 97 is in SFS for a tune right now. When I took it in the guy there (not tony), showed me the record book they keep for all the post tune power tests, all were around 11 ft/lbs and they document the pellet used and the power for every rifle they tune. Regarding those people who have had rifles drift over, I guess thats the issue with not being local. It would be better if there were more local tuners around the country, I certainly wouldn't be sending mine away by post no way. Luckily I'm local to SFS. 1 Quote Link to post
