OK, You want match grade accuracy? Buy this $40 gun. This is the best deal I could find on a P17. There are a few guns that are better than this one, but they cost a lot more. Wyoman, here is the deal and it is shipped out of Carls back yard in TN. I just bought another one.$39.59 shipped to your door. They list for more than that. This is a picture of the one I have now. Just ordered #2 today.

I made the order Duck (shouldn't do that to an addict  )...now I will wait very patiently for my fix

This a great blog here with a whole bunch of different airgun info.

The P17 is an awesome gun, especially when you take into account how much it costs.
It has the best trigger, on a less than 50 buck gun, that I have ever fired.
Plus it is real fun to shoot.

Once I got the procedure of loading pellets in it down pat it became a joy.
It is a tad hard to pump but that don't bother me.

They already have one; 10 m open pistol. I was trying to pratice on that last night, but was too shaky. Some days are better than others. What might be nice, if they had a 5m open pistol shoot for us old eyes and shaky hands.LOL

That Daisy red dot is also a great value. $10...  and it is actually pretty nice. Very light, no parallax (really), a pretty decent dot, 2 brightness settings, and easy to get on and off quick. It is about a 7 MOA dot I would say. It is my second... the first was actually messed up from the git, the dot was not centered. Took it right back (Tractor Supply), and got this one... and everything is fine. Put 1 wrap of teflon plumbers tape on the windage adjustment bolt, so it would stiffen up the tolerances a little there (just a very slight movement side to side, if you grabbed it and moved it... not so much shooting it). Easy to do... take the nut off, bolt out and wrap it, and put it back in.

Tempting tempting tempting.... I really like the P17, and my local Gander Mountain has this Daisy red dot in the discount bin... $2!

How about a 2 meter, clamped bench-rest with 2.0" diameter bullseyes?

Anyone have a pair of pliers so I can get this hook out of my mouth?    Just ordered a P17 from Amazon. You guys are terrible, dangling that gun and then links to tinker with it. Shame on you.

"I'm Sorry" - I should have known better on my part 
(well.... not really... but I feel better having said that now )

I am sure Duck is also hanging his head low... in shame.........


Congrats on your new gun!!
you are going to love it!!

There is an easy first mod to these.

Where the muzzle of the barrel, meets the exhaust of the valve - there is a small oring.

If you shim behind the oring, it makes the oring seal tighter against the barrel - so there is less chance of air escaping under pressure entering into the barrel. A more positive seal there is all. Not that you really need to do this, as it seats pretty good as it is... but it makes me feel better having done it LOL 

I do seem to hear more of a bark out of the gun now though... in having done it. Hard to say without a chrony (there... covered that LOL)

I used that dental floss, that is like tape rather than the string. You could probably use a short peice of teflon tape, rolled up length wise also. Just something to fill in the space behind the oring a little, so the oring sticks out a little more towards the barrel and seals tighter.

Any other ideas, on what can be used there?
