Just got my Quest sighted in after it's return from Datuna'. For all of you that know the type of work Bob does it goes without saying, but to those who are thinking of having a tune done to their springer read on....I sent my rifle off to Bob, AKA Charliedatuna, for a super tune and trigger. What came back was an entirely different class of rifle. The trigger was the highlight of the tune. All you have to do is think and the trigger breaks as though it was a delicate glass rod. No movement other than the initial take up which you have to really be concentrating to feel but it is there. The rifle is quieter and more powerful than before with an increase of 80 to 90 fps. Now for the good part if you can believe it could get better. After the initial sight in which only took 6 pellets it preceded to place all pellets in a ragged hole easily covered by a dime at 15 yds. These are just the first shots at a short distance to further refine the scope adjustments. Not having any more time yesterday I cleaned and put the rifle away. This morning I woke to the sound of a bird feeder destroying fiend who was doing his darndest to put an end to the just newly purchased replacement to the last feeder that was hanging in the same spot a few days earlier. I snuck around to the side of the house and unleashed the fury of the Charlie tuned Quest and with surgical precision placed an RWS hobby pellet into the offending intruders melon and it preceded through and out of its computer rendering its motherboard inoperable. Needless to say, the rifle did its job. I am more than impressed with the rifle's performance. The tune made the rifle so much smoother, took away the shock and twist associated with the firing cycle. It was well worth the money spent as I received a rifle that far surpassed my expectations. If anyone is considering a tune from Bob, don't hesitate any further. I can recommend Bob without question. My rifle is a gem, a far cry from what it was. If anyone has any questions about this rifle feel free to email me. I will try to answer them if possible. I do have before and after's also if anyone would like to see.

Wait till you but around 1000 rounds through it and it settles down.
Still will feel like a jem and will perform like a rolls royce. :)

Great review Fishawk.
I to have sent several of my rifles to CharlieDaTuna.. It is like turning over a $200.00 air gun to Charlie and getting back a $500.00 air gun. You will never know until you try it once. lol
I am so glad that CharlieDaTuna has not gotten completely out of the Air gunsmith business..............

Gene, I'll second your last statement. Charlie is too much of an asset to the airgun community to lose.

go over to the china gate. Look for the thread titled...."I got an email asking me to post data" There you will see all the test and performance data on my rifle. I think it makes good power. Over 16 Ft/lbs with Cp's. Its not even close to being broken in yet.
