    Great video. That was a fast barrel change! The ghost looks like a lovely bit of kit, especially with the extra bits. Take care.

    Just got the .177 Plus, not shot it yet, but it’s a stunning looking thing (that’s its name ‘The Thing’). Got some PRS on its way from a member of the Ghost FB page had a bargain price. I am amazed at the speed of the barrel change…actually amazed it can even be done. Hopefully this week I’ll be zeroing it is……cracking video, down to earth, informative and no journalistic BS….oh, and subbed!

    Got 2 sub 12 pcp rifles over here. Best pellet for both of them are the H&N Baracuda FT. Never ever heard about the Johnny 7, but it looks like a fabulous piece of kit 🙂. Cheers again on another top video!

    Accuracy isn't simply down to the rifle barrel itself, it is also down to testing multiple pellet brands and weights and also possible power adjusting etc. There are many factors.

      Also head size, i bought jsb exact 4.53mm when I first got the rifle, when I bought what I thought was the same pellets it started shooting what felt like all over the place.
      This is what I found at 37m
      4.50mm 9.5mm 14 shot group
      4.51mm 15mm 14 shot group
      4.52mm 12.3mm 14 shot group
      4.53mm 8.4mm 14 shot group
      The barrel like what it likes

  • @drleighmj
    @drleighmj 9 місяців тому

    Looking forward to the pellet testing. I have found the JSB exacts varying from 7.9-8.8gr and have to filter to keep 8.4-8.6 for hunting - the remainder for plinking. Very good pellets though and 4.52mm for AAS510.

    • @hftshooter

    • @hftshooter
      @hftshooter  9 місяців тому +1

      Hear what you're saying James. One of the things with the ghost is that you have to have the scope high to get the eye alignment. If you look at the set up compared to a normal stock the cheekpiece is quite high compared to the scope mount. I've already tried to get a low scope in prep for some HFT and even with no cheekpiece fitted the scope still needs to be on high mounts.

    • @hftshooter
      @hftshooter  9 місяців тому +1

      I didn't test it this time, but I seem to remember that when I did it was quite hot at around 11.9 ft/lb which is why the .177 power is set to around 11 ft/lb. I do intend to do some testing with reg adjustments to work out what pressure the reg needs to be for optimum performance in each calibre.

      It must be the Daystate barrel, my .177 revere shoots Zan 13g slugs superbly. My two FX’s (wildcat and impact) and Leshiy 2 with 450 barrel shoot them like a shotgun. Love all my rifles but the revere never lets me down.

      Here is the strategy. You nonchalantly drive off 'somewhere' to buy the item and leave it in the car when you return. When the coast is clear you smuggle the case into your man cave. After the dust has settled you casually wander through the kitchen to shoot in the garden with said item mixed amongst known rifles. It's just like you've had it all the time! 😄

The L2 dont match the Ghost in FPS consistency and precision - the Ghost is far superior! The L2 is fun to shoot and its build for compactnes, power and hunting. The L1 dont match either but a closer to a match than the L2. The Ghost outperforms both in precision and FPS consistency.
