Hmm, my rifle has the model 2020, which is easy to turn anti clockwise with an allen key to increase the pressure.

Ok so tried to tune it today (Waitangi day) Mrs was not impressed as I wasted most of the day.
18g JSB reg set at 150 bar, Hammer set to 6mm then fine tune from there. 1 457 2 520 3 568 4 619 5 665 6 703 7 745 After tuning on setting 7 backing off from where the sear wouldn't engage I got 783 was expecting more way more, so 25ftp seems to be it disappointed.

Damn, more mysteries to solve. One thing to check, is that FX updated the the transfer port design, so that there are are 2 ports to choose from (big and small) by rotating the barrel 180 degrees. Maybe your wildcat has the small one facing down (ie the one that is in use?)

Yea, was going to suggest that. I had wondered if gauge was off, but that's too much difference.

Done that, one Side mark P other S so now have the S slug side down, did give me slightly more bang. surprised when I looked down the barrel it appeared rifled all the way down, was expecting the breech end to be smooth. Chrony seems to be erratic, does read lot, error signs coming up. Put a pellet into a piece of 4by2 & pentation was twist as deep as when I first got it, so will source another chrony to test.

Just wishing to thank XYON for his time today, spent a couple of hours sorting out the mess my Wildcat was in. With a decent chrony / tuning my way over cranked reg settings. I now have the magic 900fps and am not wasting air achieving it. Many Thanks again

Great to hear. A chrony is really important for your air rifle.
What did you end up setting the reg at? |

Back to where it was to start with, slightly under 100 plus hammer spring tension backed off heaps also as well.

Sighted in today, got it all good for 50M then messed with the zero stop had to start again bugger. Back to 25M with 1 mrad high hold gives me a 50M zero all set with the zero lock. Finished at 25 check check at 50 all good. Surprise was the 16g pellets at setting 6 1 off max, speed should be 900ish seemed to like these.
