My 1250 rocks..... but I'm getting too weak to shoot it ... LOL

Oh by all means, enjoy your beers, it will only make my shooting look better:)

My spring compressor is like a lumber store disaster, but it does the job.  I've had a few Gamo's openned on it, and a B30, and some Fast Deers....and well, it still works, so I guess it's pretty good....and heavy:)  I'll bring it along, and even let you take it home for awhile...I don't even own a springer anymore:)

Dan

What pellets were you shooting? they punch a pretty mean hole in that paper at 40

Word of warning.... Not your everyday spring compressor would be totally safe.. I know I would not use mine to take my 1250 appart.. hehe... Bob took mine appart a year ago to get specs. on all the workings.. He named my 1250 the "Arm Buster" and for a good reason.. hehe  But he did do a debur and major lube tune on it while it was appart.. That I am grateful for.. It is sad that such a powerful air rifle has no source for parts..:-(....  And I might add that when I do shoot mine, I use Superdomes and at 50 or so yards it will blow a hole through 3/8" plywood...:-)............. Long Live the Gamo Hunter Royal 1250 .22

eeeesh gene, thats some smack the gun creates. I cant imagine having such a powerfull airgun (yet)...  hows that samantra doing?

[Gene_SC]

LOL Jason..... The Samatra is another story.. When I shoot it I am using those 31gn pellets and would not want to be anywhere near the front of the barrel...

Gene

I think its time I upgrade to a .22 . . or maybe one of those big bores. I need to keep up with this american obsession with  /tim allen voice "more power" tim allen voice/

Actually the RWS 350 and the Gamo 1250 springs are not all that bad taking out as they are not that heavily pre-loaded. Not much different than most other guns and actually less than some. In fact, the 1250 isn't bad at all and easier than the 350. It's just when you want to crank them up to shoot that you see the big difference. It takes between 52 and 55 pounds to crank them over and my shoulders just can't take that abuse any longer. :0

Ya know I just bought my very first PCP, and I LOOOOOVE .22 cal and up guns, but somehow I decided on a .177 for the PCP.  Just made more sense for me since I'll be shooting paper and cans and such....hehe, I bet a RWS Hobby pellet would come out of that thing at beyond the sound barrier for sure, but heavy Eui Jins and such should be pretty nice in that caliber....16 grain .177!!!

I use CP Heavies, It's MDF not paper. It's 3/4" and it shoots right through it, thats why it looks like paper

Thanks Dan ... I might just copy it then I'll have one too
