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

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!

I bought a few tins of those a while back as they tested well in another video. I haven't had a chance to do a proper pellet test on the ghost yet but they're certainly on the list. Cheers. 🙂👍

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 29 күн бұрын

From what I've read online there seems to be so much variation between ghost barrels in what pellet they like. Should be interesting. 🙂👍

Got a carbine, great piece of kit. Got a Pard NV008s on it for night shooting. A bit of a lump to carry around compared to my FX Dreamline though. Probably should have bought the Plus for an extra £ 50.00. Anyone know what difference a mis-matched probe would make.

@hftshooter 29 күн бұрын

I tried using the .22 pin probe with the .177 barrel and it doesn't work; won't push the pellet in.

@jamesashcroft7345 29 күн бұрын

Looking at how high the scope is over the barrel I was always told to keep the scope as close to the barrel as possible, just saying comments welcome, love your videos Jef thanks

@markjohnson2166 29 күн бұрын

That advice was before 20 MOA scope rails became the norm.

@hftshooter 29 күн бұрын

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.

@deanwright5814 29 күн бұрын

Hi what was the pellet Velocity of the .22 pellet

@hftshooter 29 күн бұрын

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.

@Josef_R Ай бұрын

What is the practical purpose of changing calibers while shooting in 5 minutes?

@hftshooter Ай бұрын

None whatsoever. Purely a stunt to show how easy it is to change barrels, plus I don't know of another air rifle you could do that with. Just a bit of fun. 🙂👍

My sub 12 ghost shot Zan 13g slugs out to 45 yds clover leaf groups all day long.

@jacksambuster Ай бұрын

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.

@hftshooter Ай бұрын

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! 😄

My Wolverine shoots better with the silencer attached. I think they act a bit like an air stripper. Making the pellets more stable as they exit the barrel.
