Ok sumatra,discovery or talonss hummm
« on: February 21, 2008, 04:35:22 AM »
Sumatra looks really fun to shoot with 6 mag lots of power,adj pwr.  Discovery shooting 800fps in .22cal is interesting, then the talon everyone seems to like them.  I cant get over the ugly look talon so snippery looking.  Im going to go ahead with the DS and if i want more keep the pump and sell the gun.

The Talon and the Sumatra have far more power than the discovery.  If you hunt get yourself a Sumatra, they are just too cool:)  The action on a Sumatra is also very smooth.  I liked mine alot, but I also have a Career 707 and I don't hunt...so the Sumatra went away.  Personally, no offence, but I feel the Discovery is just an HPA 2260, and with that you get stuck with the "toy bbgun" trigger.  Would rather have a converted HPA 2260 from Mountain Air, he replaces the plastic trigger with a 2240 grip frame.  It's still not a great trigger, but superior to the 2260 plastic thing imho.
