i just got a discovery from the imfamous "pogo timmy" (who has been trying to get me on the "dark-side" for over a year) and i did a power adjuster mod to it last night.  i have the power jacked-up on it and it is getting 25-30 shots before i refill it.  seems like you should be getting more shots than you are if the gun is STOCK.  has it been tuned or had a power adjuster put on it ?

It is totally stock.  I just got it as well.  I did get my first squirrel today with it!  Of course the cell phone was at home!  LOL

Stock Disco in .22 cal -- 2000 psi down to 800 psi = 38 accurate shots. After that the POI starts dropping quickly.

My stock .177 disco is giving me 35 good solid shots before I have to refill....   My gun is currently bone stock.

You should be getting more shots out of your fill.

I just replaced the original spring with new spring from Crosman. Was getting 35-40 shots, new spring 29 shots, but worth every one!!

What temperature are you shooting at? I just came over to the Dark Side myself with my new Sunshine Disco.



When I first got it 2 weeks ago,the temperature was 70-75 degrees, and I got 30+ (stopped counting) from 2000 PSI down to 1000 PS, but I was only shooting 10 yds.



Lastweekend I went hunting with it, and the temperature was a brisk 45 degrees. The first 3 or 4 shots at a 2000 PSI fill were off the mark at 25 yds.



From 1800 PSIto 1000 PSI they were accurate, but I only got around 20 shots per fill. The denser cold air does use more up, but how much I really don't know.



I tried all weekend filling to 2000 and 1800 PSI and that extra 200 PSI really messed me up for 3-4 shots each time, so I'll only be filling to 1800 PSI.



I need to get to a chrony to see what this is really doing. Maybe I can pick up the extra shots at the low end down to 800 PSI.



I don't know when I'll see 70-75 degrees again in NY, so I'll have to wait on checking the 30+ shot count again.



I was definately making shots that I previously missed with my springer.
