What's
NEW Pussycat
Updated March 23 / 2000
Stalker Rifles maintain a constant
programme of development to improve our current guns and
introduce new exciting models. We wish to share our enthusiasm
with all the owners of Stalker rifles and other air gun
enthusiasts around the world.
This Page will be used to inform all
interested parties about our Latest Products, the Results of
Tests Improvementsto Existing Products and any other INFORMATION
which we consider of interest to readers.
The "FILTER TIP" Moderator
for the Tiger Ten LE.
The Protype of this Super Quiet Moderator
is currently under test and initial results show a significant
reduction in muzzle blast noise even without the TIP fitted. This
has been achieved by changing the materials of construction,
which has also reduced the weight so although the complete Filter
Tip Moderator is 6" longer than the standard LE the weight
is the same, therefore the gun does not become muzzle heavy. The
noise reduction produced by this lightweight version is most
effective on the higher power guns, particularly the new 40ft.lb
version (see next entry). We intend to produce a steel
construction version along side the aluminium one, this will be
cheaper and is intended for 12ft.lb. guns, although purchasers of
such guns can have the lighter weight version if they wish.
The first batch of Filter Tips is under
construction and we are taking orders for guns fitted with it.
We must emphasise that the
Filter Tip CANNOT be fitted to Existing LEs it can only be
supplied as Original equipment.
Filter Tip Firing Tests
Test Firing the Filter Tip
on a 40ft.lb Action show a Zero Shift when the Tip is attached.
By coincidence we find that the gun shooting Baraccudas without
the Tip have the same zero at 50 yards as Premiers do with the
Tip. It is with these nearly Super sonic lighter weight pellets
that the superior performance of the Filter Tip System is most
effective. The Zero shift at 50yards is about a 1.75"drop
with Baraccudas after fitting the Tip.
The TIGER TEN LE 40
The Prototype of our
latest LE model has been constructed and tested. The LE model
with the 15 inch alloy tube will provide 20 shots of over 35ft.lb
with a best 10 at 40ft.lb. These 10 shots give a velocity spread
of 15 -20 ft./s. with a mean velocity of 923ft./s. using Baracuda
Match 5.52mm. 21.3 grain. A muzzle energy of 40.3 ft.lb.
Using the 200cc Buddy
Bottle the number of 40ft.lb. shots increases to 18-20.
This High Power Regulator
will only be available in Steel, we also recommend the use of the
Filter Tip Moderator with it, if quietness is a consideration.
STALKER SUCCESS
After two rounds of BRV
WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS Dennis Swenson of Florida is in the Lead
using his Tiger Ten LE. Well done Dennis, a nice example of US/UK
collaboration.
NEW
STALKER GUN The "TOMCAT"
We are working on the Stalker version of
the BSA Spitfire, to be called the Tomcat. Not many details at
the moment but as it is being developed by Adrian and John
Bowkett, the designer of the Spitfire, you can be sure it will be
a Little Beauty very favourably priced. Pictures and Details as
soon as they are available.
A few more details of the Tomcat, first
the Price, this will be £395 to include a grade 2 walnut oil
finished stock brass trigger guard and moderator. This price does
not include a Buddy Bottle, many users will already own a
suitable bottle, SuperTen/Theoben bottles are suitable. However
for customers who require a Bottle we will offer a good deal.
There will be a few brass twiddly bits,
like moderator cap to tart the Tomcat up. A 20ft.lb version will
be available along with a Special 40ft.lb one. You will only get
2 shots with the latter but it is so easy to top up the gun we
don't think this will be a hindrance, and 40ft.lb. in such a
compact gun, perfect for hunting.
Good News
We will have some 400cc
Buddy Bottles available soon, don't have a price at the moment,
but as soon as they are in stock they will be back in the Price
List.
