PB tank, though he gets a bajillion shots before he needs a $2 fill from your favorite gun store. I think his gun is quite accurate, and really like the trigger but the automatic safety that resets after every single shot is a stupid design.derrick38https://www.blogger.com/profile/07453249070532046877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5298728954548592835.post-16388769755482014942010-05-22T22:05:29.442-04:002010-05-22T22:05:29.442-04:00Slinging Lead,

Other reports varied widely at the time<br />BG Farmer,<br />I think you are correct in that most people converted them from the 88 gram cartridges. As far as the stock, I had one of the new Benjamin synthetic stocked NPS’s that I really liked, but the 850 was just sad. The concept was pretty much a flash in the pan.Volvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11300847249508497209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5298728954548592835.post-74130706332749848832010-05-22T21:15:32.561-04:002010-05-22T21:15:32.561-04:00Volvo,

A QB78 or 79 can be had much more cheaply and there's a multi-shot adapter from someone, I believe, for those also. The 850 was the rage for a time, it seemed, on the YF, but possibly because it ran reasonably well on regulated HPA tanks? <br /><br />I've warmed to plastic stocks after a utilitarian Savage w/Tupperware proved a pleasant surprise, but that one sounds really flimsy.BG_Farmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03862769852006611243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5298728954548592835.post-64281471556318928552010-05-22T15:24:20.093-04:002010-05-22T15:24:20.093-04:00I never saw this one coming.

Not only do they add a touch of individuality owing to the grain, but they feel cool (temp wise) in my hands. Very soothing.<br /><br />Numbers are almost always inflated, but a 90 shot differential is a gyp. I am going to assume you would know if there was a leak. What kind of shot count are other 850s getting?Slinging Leadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04394959629225488169noreply@blogger.com
