kiwi k 0 Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Hi, As promised here come the Questions Right 2 weeks ago i bought an Air ranger in .177 flavour, but on shooting thru my chrono it had inconsistent power , so ordered a new probe seal which has helped only to discover its firing 10.22 - 10.38 ft lbs, which to me seems a tad low, So my thinking is send it to John bowkett or xtx to service it and bump up the power to approx 11.5. So am i on the right lines or do Daystate owners know someone better or is it best left as is . Many thanks in advance Kiwi. Quote Link to post

David.evans 5,323 Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 I would think that your using a heavy pellet , this will bring down the ft lbs , and a lighter one bring it up, What are you using ? Dave 8.4 may be 11.2 plus 10 .4 --- 10.8 /"11 Ect Quote Link to post
David.evans 5,323 Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Staffordshire custom rifles is a bit closer to you,,and the owner ( Dave ) used the work for daystate . And comes highly Recommended from the day state team , he can turn round a fault a lot faster than day state can (belive it or not) I belive daystate --- 3 weeks Scr --- 10 days Atb Dave Quote Link to post

kiwi k 0 Posted August 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 As i have only been testing and zeroing had not given much thought about pellet choice and was using Rws superdome 8.3gns, so tommorow i'm going to nip over rfd's and try get h&n ftt's, jsb exacts and some daystate 4.53, then i'll pump about 50 of each thru just too see if fps rises and group results. Atleast you have given me an idea to try something else before going service route Quote Link to post
