My goodness, I already broke down and bought one. I DON'T NEED ANOTHER, DO YOU HEAR ME??? I DON'T CARE HOW LONG YOU HAVE THEM AT THAT PRICE!!!!

Self-control slipping... getting weaker, weaker, weeeeaaaaakerrrrr.......

Thanks for the great tip.  Its even cheaper than the 220.  Great deal for sure.  Just ordered one and its on its way.  Shipping was only another $15
This leaves plenty of change for the CDT trigger.

I've been lookin at them every since they first went on sale but so far I've had good self control.  However,,,, I can feel my self control slipping little by little.

Oh man thats evil, if another rifle showed up at the house I may as well get used to sleeping outdoors full time.  I see "Hunter" listed as a compatable rifle for a Theoben Gas Strut.  What would be the results of a conversion?

Gas ram gives a more liner recoil no torque and more consistancy which will apear as more power plus it never takes a set. If you are going to buy a gun and use it to hunt with a GasRam is the way to go. It does take more effort to cock. You can cock it and leave it cocked till your queary comes into sight. A season of hunting can wear and tear a spring leaving it cocked till you shoot.I did see and increase in velocity in my Patriot but not a lot.

I have a gas strut converted BSA and all I can say is "sweeet".   DaveD has converted a CFX and said pretty much the same thing.  CDT trigger, gas strut, Hunter 440, and maybe a fresh piston seal from Macarri....super sweeeeet setup.  The struts are totally linear, there is zero twist.  They cock very smooth also, no spring making the screen door sound.  A well tuned springer would most likely be just as smooth, but this is a different feel...maybe not better, but different.  The cocking effort is a little higher than a standard spring.
