Page 5 - AirForce Condor Reviews

I have owned this gun for about 3 months now and put about 2,500 rounds through it in various conditions and with several different types of pellets. This gun (in .22 cal.) seems to prefer the Beeman Kodiaks but also loves Crow Magnums, Eunjin and Jsb exacts and Predators! My Condor is incredibly powerful and and accurate! At power level 7, I can easily put 10 rounds (Beeman Kodiaks) in a less than dime sized hole with one flyer at 30 yrds. I have even taken one crow at 100 to 105 yrds. with the Eunjin pellets (measured with a $550. dollar laser range finder) and was a clean kill! this thing will blow through a 2x4 with Kodiaks at 20 yrds. at power level 6 no problem... Am I comparing apples to oranges when I say my neighbor can only group 10 in 2 1/2" with his R-1 at the same range? I can do only slightly better with his gun, I understand there is a big difference in shooting technique when it comes to shooting springers, but i own a couple my self!

Cleaner plastic on the grip and forearm ( which is ten times better than any one of the Crossmans I own) and a lighter reset on the safety!

It is a little loud, but if You dont have the concern of bothering the neighbors, then this thing is THE CADDILAC of single shot pcp's!

Super sharp accuracy. Cool look. Many great add ons. Easy and inexpensive to switch to CO2 for just plinking. Simple and easy to take apart and reasemble. Three years and I am still impressed and glad I made the purchase.

Grip and trigger could be upgraded.

Loud. Like a rim fired .22 cal. Seems to have a sweet spot at 2700 psi.

I really love shooting this rifle. It's extremely accurate. The power available is just unbelievable! I have a 3-9 Leapers scope on it and it is not unusual to get 1/2 in. and less 5 shot groups from 35yd. That's what makes target shooting fun. The adjustable power is great for experimenting with different pellets. Since I already had 2 PCP rifles in .22, I got my Condor in.177. I can always get a .22 barrel for it if I want to. That's another great feature. The lower mounting rail is really handy for mounting the bi-pod which I highly recommend. I also got my Condor with the CO2 adaptor and a 20oz. CO2 bottle. Just a quick adjustment of the scope and you can plink away all day without recharging, fantastic! This rifle has everything !

I think I would like to replace the pistol grip and forearm with custom wood. I wish the rifle had a pressure gauge.

The Condor is too powerful for .177 cal. at full power. However at setting #6 Crosman or Benjamin heavy 10.5 gr. pellets are super accurate and they rip through tin cans at 50 yds. like tissue paper. I get 70 or more shots at this setting before I can notice any loss of power.You can crank the power up quite a bit with 16 gr. Eun Jin pellets. These are also very accurate and have devastating power in the Condor.

THE POWER, of course! The accuracy adhered to its reputation, less than an inch at 50 yards. A good shot capacity, considering the power. Light weight. I do own pcps superior in accuracy but i give it 5/5 because it cut the advertised accuracy in half (on a good day). How can i complain when its BETTER than what i thought i was paying for? People complain about the stock and how you need high rings, but i actually LIKE it! Made in the USA! The rails are useful for mounting more accessories - i have a lights lazers etc on mine

The plastic grips are cheap - but custom wood is available The trigger is not great, but usable.

that'll do

The power of the .22 is awesome. I was amased that it is accurate at 100 yards. I recently killed a opossum with it in my suburban yard without it being set on max. power or disturbing the neighbors. The rails are excellent for mounting a scope and the construction is very nice.

The factory stock and pistol grip blows. I replaced these immediately with custom mahogony grips that I fabricated.

The gun will not shoot at 3000psi. It is a 2700 psi gun. If you overfill the tank you will have to dry fire the gun until the pressure drops low enough to allow the valve to work properly. This is just something you need to know and not really a problem. Once you get below 2700 the shooting is awesome and it amazed me how many shots I got out of a tank.

The quality is superb and exceeded my expectations. It's solid and everything fits together well. The wow factor on friends is amazing because it looks like a special forces sniper rifle. I'm no expert with air rifles and this is my first high quality rifle but to me the accuracy is excellent. I bought this because I wanted something that would kill raccoons in the urban area around my home. I've nabbed four so far taking them out with head shots that drop them like the proverbial sack of potatoes.

Nothing

It is about as loud as a .22 rifle but I've had no complaints from neighbors yet.

Look, accuracy, power, easy to modify, relatevely light.

I'd change the trigger, because it is very stiff, along with the safety. I'd add extra weight to the hammer or install a lighter valve spring to utilize 3000psi pressure; everyone knows that this gun don't shoot like it supposed to straight from the box - the sweet spot starts around 2700psi. I'd start changing original butt plates to Morgan adjustable. I'd also think how to improve the grip because it is very ugly.In addition, instructions say do not adjust Condor's valve (top hat). Well, what do you do if it comes off on its own? It happens A LOT. So, AF guys, you need to work on that as well. One more thing: I'd start purchasing .25 cal conversion kits because it becomes more and more popular.

Things to think about. This gun shoots pretty good out of box. But, "pretty good" is not good enough for me. In order to get this gun where it needs to be, you'd have to spend at least another $300. Remember that AF rifles have no regulators, so everything in the gun has to work excellently. If you want maximum accuracy, efficiency, consistency, and power, consider modifying it AFTER the warranty period is over. Otherwise, just save up your money and buy one of the Daystate, FX, Theoben, W&S, AA, Falcon, or BSA rifles.

Accuracy, power, loads of options. I also have the CO2 adapter with 20 oz. tank- get it!

Heavier, better made hammer assembly, lighter factory trigger

There are plenty of aftermarket suppliers of trick parts for this gun, and many modifications you can do yourself. This gun rocks out of the box and has loads of upgrading potential

adjustable power and its power! great hunting gun. love the long barrel and its accuracy is pretty good. at 50 yards i shoot quarter size groups using predator pellets and leapers scope

i would try to make it quiter, or make a suppressor for it. or shrouded barrel

awsome

very powerful air rifle;very accurate with JSB's pellets or with H&N Baracuda,it's a light air rifle,futuristic look and easy to mount a lot of features on the gun:lamp,laser,big scope,bipod

I would like a butstock on the tank of the gun just like on the tank of the FX Gladiator,much more attention to the finishing of the internal parts(valve parts and trigger parts) and an ergonomic pistol grip

it's a good airgun for the money but beware of the finishing of the internal pars of the gun(valve parts and trigger parts)
