Hi Ifgians
A couple of months back i ordered a 850store.com regulated .177 cal air rifle from roald .First he denied to export outside Usa after some negotiation he done a great job for me.
i picked up a beta crony from Babu and tested the velocity in my range and found that 3000psi to 1800 psi regulated velocity is 1060-1070 fps -for gsmith competition pellets upto 70-80 usable shots ,high speed ranges 1000fps,high split ranges 20 fps more than pointed . tried 4 shot of gamo raptor and the velocity raised to 1188 fps .very consistent/accurate and powerful in its job. like h&n barracuda pellets a lot .one hole group at 30 yards.
After springers pcp is most powerful without any recoil .now having a multishot i always run out of pellets and some times air
cheers

Congratulation, chief, on the arrival of the beauty. Happy plinking.
Regards
Jeff Cooper advocated four basic rules of gun safety:
1) All guns are always loaded. Even if they are not, treat them as if they are.
2) Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.
3) Keep your finger off the trigger till your sights are on the target.
4) Identify your target, and what is behind it.

Congrats Striker, Great to have you on PCP. Will have no recoil or near zero. I got myself a HW100 and it does 1045 on H&N and 1025 on Barracuda. I ordered it from Straight Shooters after reading on IFG. Craig Porter who runs the show is a great guy and accurate in sending it in one week from the US to Bangalore. I get about 40 shots from one fill of 100 bar. Do let us know how much it cost and how you went about it. It will help IFGians to order in future. Does it have a moderator and how effective is it? regards......Shankar

Thanks
for the appreciation guys
Just mail him and he will look after your needs

.yes it have a shroud and works like a charm and the sound is little more than pop gun
i love the regulated velocity and the gun is best German made ..... accuracy and built fashion is very good . moreover the Roald of 850 store only does this rifle and any problem in future can be worked easily through his guidance unlike other costly pcp rifle like Bsa,....
cheers
