The scope is an Optisan MTC Viper 6-24X30x56mm IRS Reticle. Nice scope., but slight overkill on the Condor. It worked, though.

Chukar are larger and more open land bird, along with pheasant. I've never eaten chukar, but have eaten quite a few pheasant.

This rifle, Air Force Condor in .25 cal. gives me 1/2" below to 1/2" above, to 1/2" below the line of sight, a 1" kill zone from 20 yards to 52 yards. It is a single shot and is good for 20 or more shots per fill of 3,000psi. I use a Carbon 97 cu in carbon fiber tank of filling it. Instead of compressed air, I use bottled nitrogen I rent from Parxair a local shop here in town. That tank is 200 pounds & holds 4,500psi filled. I use nitrogen in 3 PCP rifles & 2 PCP handguns.

I also have a 4-cavity mould that cases 51gr. flat nose boat tailed bullets, for this rifle. The Ballistic Coefficient for normal DIABOLO (waisted)pellets is right around .034 maximum. The BT is very effective sub-sonic, and raises the BC of these to .100. I was using a 26gr. predator Pellet, which is a HP with a plastic nose like a Vmax bullet. They really expand well. The grouse's head was 1/2 gone, opened up like a book.
