New Blodnob valve results
« on: June 29, 2008, 05:02:45 PM »
For those that are interested and know what a Blodnob valve is :-), I just posted some info on the Air Force forum, here's the link: http://talonairgun.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3205
These valves are incredible, if you own an Air Force rifle, you want one, even if you have a Condor :-).  Enjoy!

Good numbers Dave.  I've always tried to keep most of my guns under 950fps, but if yours is still grouping good than I guess I've just been schooled:)  The curve looks good too, especially for a gun that typically has a ramp instead of a curve, or at least mine did.  Keep thinking I need another TalonSS, but then I don't have anything I want to sell to buy one.  Noticed your second one is on the chopping block, I think you're going to like the S200, one of the sweetest shooters I've shot.  Family is out for the night, it's 95F or so outside, I'm stuck between taking a nap or shooting some targets in the house...what would Superman do in this situation?

Small world, ain't it pal :-)?  Yeah, much as I like my Talons, I feel like it's time for something different.  Haven't had anyone offer up a 200 yet, but got an email asking if I'd be interested in a 400 Xtra FAC .177.  What do you THINK I said :-)!?  Not quite what I had in mind, but if it happens, I don't think I'll be crying about it.  I've never heard anything but good about the AA PCP's, so keep your fingers crossed for me.

I agree, I was trying for an average around 950, but this thing is shooting so well where it is that I think I'll leave it alone for now.  I usually get a ramp with my Talons, too, like I said, this is one of the sweetest curves I've gotten yet.

To answer your question, it's simple, Superman would do both simultaneously :-)!  Later.

That is a nice curve Dave. BTW Superman would go visit Lois Lane--Teri Hatcher. If that is not an option Superman would come over to my place and quickly put in my tie wall.

AA400!!!!  Uhm, Dave, if you don't like it for some reason I will trade you just about anything except for my whole collection to get my hands on it.....so, uhm, put me first in line if you decide you don't like it:)

Oh yea, and I'm with John, Superman would go see Terri Hatcher for sure:)
