Opinion on the QB36-2

[squackerreaper]

Ok folks, I'm fairly new to airgunning but I believe I'm hooked already.. I have a Big Cat with the GRT-III trigger(made a huge difference), now I'm looking for my second toy. I was wondering what everyones opinion of the QB36-2 is?

my two cents is for the price you cant beat them.  pros; more accurate than any of my break barrels, especially at long ranges, cons; very heavy rifle good for bench rest shooting but I don't think you want to carry it around in the woods all day. also has a leather piston seal some like that but I would rather have synthetic. power is in the low 900's fps 177, average for most of my 1000fps rifles

I agree with Shaft. I felt mine was money well spent. It is a large heavy rifle. But then this helps tame the recoil which helps accuracy.

Thanks for the input guys, I beleive that I will be purchasing one of the in the very near future. How are these guns to do a tune on?

They are tuneable but you will want to make a spring compressor- there is a lot of pre-load on this spring.

You didn't say what you want it for, or what you're willing/going to spend. It is a heavy, powerfulrifle. It can be pretty accurate. You can improve the trigger, but it is not target grade, and there is no GRT-III upgrade. You just smooth out what it comes with.

QB36-2 was my second truespringer. I am not sure it's an upgrade from a BC with Charlie's trigger. Maybe define a purpose and a budget for a second gun, and see what the group suggests, unless you found a swingin' dealon this model?

[squackerreaper]

It will probably get shared duty with my BC as my squirrel getter (depending on the accuracy) and an all around plinker. Don't really wanna spebd more than $200 right now, my mad money budget is a little on the tight side right now..lol

I have one on the classifieds that was already tuned for $80. Look under TF99.
