ChrisJones 7,975 Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 You'll struggle getting a Meteor above 10ft/lbs. Might want to look at an upgrade. Quote Link to post
Chid 6,676 Posted August 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 only reason i was trying to get this up is it fits nice in my arms not to big , struggle with some guns with having short arms. ive got another air rifle here but just dont feel nice to carry... next question lol do you know of an air rifle similar size and weight to a meteor, one wots not gonna break the bank Quote Link to post
AirArmsDavid 0 Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 They were only designed to run at 8 ft lbs. John Bowkett tuned 000's of them in the 's to run close to 12 ft lbs, for the princely sum of £23.50. He definitely does NOT tune them any more as I asked him a few weeks ago. Quote Link to post
