My .25 Condor is a Sparrow compared to Voltar1’s Vulture!!!!
Well what a day!! Voltar1 and I finally got to shoot together and all I can say is the man knows his stuff. 😯 After 3 years of playing with my Condor doing a .25 upgrade I thought wow I do know my airgun theory! WRONG!!!!!!
Okay if you think you are knowledgable about what makes a PCP tick don’t fool yourself as I thought after many mods and builds of BSA’s, Crosmans. my Condor, and others I knew my stuff but until one has built a PCP from scratch one just cannot understand what it takes not to BLOW yourself up using 3100 pounds of air!
We compared guns from all possible considerations and I was awestruck. How can someone build a PCP from pictures. I was able to see a 800cc buttstock tank in use with .177, .22, .25, 9mm, .457 and I will say the bigbores hurt one’s ears. The valve, barrel changeouts took mere minutes and the 9mm is just puree evil. While .25 42 grainers barely tore thru the heavy aluminum cover the 9mms blasted thru and kept going. Walter’s Vulture gets 20 POWERFUL bigbore shots per fill and way more in the smaller calibers. The quick fill nipple and pressure gauge are 2 mods slated for my Condor. Shooting at the 1″ gong at 55 meters was to say the least BORING with our guns but HOLY does his Vulture at 120 ft lbs in .25 whack a spinner HARD never mind the 9mm. I did try my 30 ft lb Talon tank as well in .25 and while it wouldn’t spin the metal spinner it was super consistant. 🙂
Here are some pics, and thanks Walter I can see how your profession and training has benefited your ability to both design and machine your Monster.
I really felt like I had a sparrow (90 ftlbs) while you had a hawk (460+ fpe).

The 55 meter range view:
My 4 shot Polygonal .25 group at 55 meters I know I should have shot more but I didn’t want to spoil my luck:
So we will be doing lots more shooting in the future.
