- Another rifle gifted to me. Got it on the range to see how well it shoots. Some adjustments need to be made to the trigger, but it shoots quite straight.

Not a bad rifle, will enjoy getting to work on this one. Might go for a Welsh Willy tuning kit.
Ive got the same one, had new spring and seals, now is doing over 11 ft pounds, very accurate, good guns. Ive got the same slightly crappy scope too.
I've had one of these on my shortist, so it will be great to see what you do with it. 👍
I have the USC, swapped out the spring for a 12 FPE HW95 one, very smooth, my trigger is also the same, very light, and even living here in Spain, I convert all my rifles to between 10 to 12 FPE, no hunting here in Spain with air so targets only, dont need 24 joules for that.!! I have quite a few Cometa's, Noricas and Gamos, best places for spares are 'adeportes' and 'el jabali'.
Same here in France, no hunting with air weapons. Have been looking at Welsh Willy's Tuning kit for this rifle, and as you say between 10-12ft lbs is plenty for target plinking etc.
I will be picking on of these in the states when the walnut stock is in stock there 24 jules here im going to get a spare spring cut and polish it fit a lightweight top hat and spring guide ect
I'm currently sanding down and fitting my new beeman underlever Bullpup stock so will be very interested in your stock work 👍
I have one chap I picked it up second hand at the local auction. I swapped out the crappy spring in it for a Titan XS meteor main spring and replaced the piston seal with a TX 200 piston seal. Also gave the piston a once over as really sharp edges all round. Gun shoots lovely up there with my pro elite HW 80 HW90, i WOULD NOT PART WITH IT.
It feels a good rifle to shoot, a bit down on power. Was looking at the Welsh Willy tuning kit for this one.
@@Maddogairguns I don't know how much Welsh charges for his kits these days, but chambers sell titan number ones for £19.75 and air arms seals for £8.50 giving an out put of roughly 15 ftp depending on lubrication no need for piston weights watch out for the tricky ball bearings they use on top of the safety slide.
@@davidprocter3578 Thanks for the heads up, I'll have a look. The welsh willy kit is about £70 I think, so if that other spring fits it might be the way forward. Another project rifle that's ended up on the list.😀👍
@@Maddogairguns Sorry just double checked I used a number five titan mainspring but you can measure the external diameter of your spring prior to ordering, there is a good reference chart online at the UK outdoor store.
Ive got 2 cometas, and they take alot of breaking in before they reach their best accuracy..
supporting the gun that far back in only going to increase muzzle flip ?
Don't suppose I'll get much muzzle flip with 8ft lbs, but I'll bear it in mind next time.
The recoil of a springer is different than that of a firearm. It does not make the rifle flip up, it only bumps it into your shoulder, laterally along the axis of the barrel. The trick is to let it happen by holding the rifle as loosely as possible. That is the artillery hold.
@@ytucharliesierra thank you for the info , having been the in military and using many small arms including sniper rifles and now later in life shooting many air rifles, including restoring, tuning , rebuilding. I appreciate the lesson 👍
@@steveev5264 Uuuhm, you got me there real good. 😅 Thanks for the fill-in. 🤝
Looks like a beech stock, not walnut.
De las tres marcas españolas hoy en dia Cometa es muy superior sus carabinas estan fabricadas con mucha calidad .....usa otros balines como HN o JSB los Gamo son una basura
I agree about the pellets.
For God's sake learn how to cock and load a break barrel Springer, always hold on to the barrel while loading a pellet, safety first, 👍
