Thanks for your video's, used your CP2 FPS boost guide, just for the hammer spacer (wanted to be able to revert any changes) and I'm loving how it performs!! Using It as a Carbine with the short barrel, silencer, barrelband, bipod and super compact 1.5-5.5x20 scope. Mostly shooting in my yard at max 15m or indoor at 8,5m the gun is accurate and nicely silent not to annoy the neighbours! 😄
I keep one of my Diana chasers in .177 in that configuration with the ommo green/red dot sight it's very accurate @ 15 yds!..nice video Tyrone!. My hands are too big to shoot them without a stock that's why I keep my chaser .22 pistol in the Bandit wood grip..👍
I kind of went the other way by setting up my first CP2 as a pistol but giving it the wooden CP1 grip. This requires some woodwork to fit. The target pistol grip can be carved and is very much better to hold than the CP2 plastic grip. The CP1 would probably make a very good pistol but its barrel has a counter weight and needs a silencer for backyard. With a Hawke Vantage 1x20 red dot which fits nicely. I found it doesn't do to keep swapping barrels and sights about so my second CP2 was set up as a long barrel target rifle. The long barrel does increase velocity considerably and hence better for longer range. The carbine barrel should work nicely at shorter ranges. You may see the difference between long and short between 15m to 20m. The pistol/carbine will certainly shoot 20m or more but the long barrel grouping tighter. The long rifle being so like makes it excellent for rats, they being not more than 35m away as a rule, massive power is not required but accuracy is, 7-8 ft-lb will do the job nicely.
Hi Jeff, I agree with you the CP1 handle is definitely nicer than the CP2 pistol handle. I think having a dedicated rifle or pistol is probably the best way to go but not always possible. Longer barrel definitely groups a little better than the short barrel
@@African-Budget-Pellet-Gunner Fitting the CP1 handle was not that easy but only cost a fiver (120R?) on eBay but then a CP1 and CP2 barrel+silencer a lot more (airguns, barrels and silencers are restricted sales here, through RFD, registered firearms dealer. I found I wanted both and to get both meant two CP2. In hindsight, get the CP2 and long barrel it then a CP1/M and use the spare pistol barrel and get an extra silencer through RFD. It's only those items but a silencer is not that cheap and if bought online has to be delivered through local RFD, typically with a £25 surcharge.
@@African-Budget-Pellet-Gunner there's also if it is are going to be a pistol then let it be a pistol. There are few to none CO2 target pistols out there other than Crosman and the CP1/CP2 (can you think of any?). The CP1 fits the hand with its target grip but has a single stage trigger. The barrel counter balance weight is good but they forgot to provide a silencer fitting
@@African-Budget-Pellet-Gunner pistol is a worthy challenge. Harder than rifle. All good. Have fun! The target pistol grip won't fit. It is deliberately too big and supposed to be carved to your hand.
Nice little pesting rig. Like to see the scope review. Leaning towards getting one of the Pyramyd Air "Quick Shot" kits of a Crosman 2240 and shoulder stock. But you're making me seriously think about a Diana Chaser!
Hi Brett, the crosman kit is great but to be honest if you put the crosman 2240 and the chaser head to head the chaser will come out on top everyday of the week. Just hasn't been around as long as the crosman. Check in with Nibs at walnut and steel he has both in many different configurations, I am sure he would also go with the chaser😉
@@BrettBaker-uk4te you wont regret it. They are quieter and more powerful than the 2240 unless you dump $380.00 in a 2240....(you can get 2 chaser kits for that much. And a decent scope)!..😊👍
Hi Pilgrim, both the scope and mountings are from discovery. The mountings are pretty standard just cool with the red inserts. The scope is a LPVO 1.5-5x24 which is really cool and designed for close range work yet got enough mag to go to 25-30m
I personally love carbine size guns. They have shorter overall length for a given barrel length, and are often lighter , more compact , and easy to carry. 😊👍
Nice one Tyrone. I have two CP2's, one set up like yours in the video and a camo stock set as a rifle. I use the 'carbine' set up mainly and it fires accurately up to 30 metres. It's also great fun. Can I ask, do you only supply the cheek rest to shooters in South Africa or do you send them out as far as England.? It's a pretty sweet bit of kit!
*I like the new look!* Do you like this Discovery Optic? I love mine for the price I just got sent a China scope worth twice the price of it and yet this might be a painful review. _(Winter is starting to warm up... You guys are really living in a parallel world 😂 here it is starting to get cold. 😢)_
This is my 2nd discovery optic and honestly I can't say a single bad thing about them. Discovery scopes just work, clear glass and function faultlessly. I have heard they don't like springers but I suppose that is true for most scopes. Yes, our seasons are truely completely opposite to each other, we actually had a bit of a heat wave over the weekend
Bought my first PCP, Diana Bandit. I was able to remove the moderator with heat, but can't get the moderator open for the life of me. Is there anything I'm missing, is it left hand threaded? More heat? Trying to sepwrate it at the cone, not the end cap. Any recommendations would be appreciated.
Hi Paul, on my chaser both sides of the moderator unscrewed easily, but it seems like the moderator laws in some countries are very strict, in these countries, the moderators are assembled using loctite. The only way to loosen this is with heat, but you need to be very careful otherwise you may damage the moderator
In standard form, you should get about 40shots from a capsule. I have never had issues with leaving the co2 in so I don't believe it makes a difference
Hi Kobus, I would say it is a little quieter than the long barrel with standard silencer. Definitely quieter than the previous small silencer we had. I think it would be worth while trying 1 like this with the m10x1mm thread for the long barrel

Agree 100% it is nice and compact, and with all the 3D printed parts even lighter than normal
Dang it Tyrone, now you're making want to do this to mine 😂🍻
Hi Riddick, hope you're doing well. I love this compact setup and will be seeing what is the best I can get out of it.
In theUK we got a batch of CP2s where the short barrels were badly machined so the silencer would not fit.
That is not good, could you return them? The CP1 barrel isn't threaded, it is a slip on type silencer

Unfortunately we only print it in South Africa but you can chat to Bob Pattenden on Facebook, he sells them in the UK. Ours is based off his design
@@African-Budget-Pellet-Gunner Thanks for that information Tyrone, appreciate it. I'll take a look for sure as I could use a higher stock position.

In standard form, you should get about 40shots from a capsule. I have never had issues with leaving the co2 in so I don't believe it makes a difference
Will the cheap bulk CO2 cartridges work as good as the expensive ones
Yes, they are pretty much over much, the only co2 capsule which was a little disappointing to me is crosman but all the others I haven't had issues
Hey Tyrone, what foot poundage do your carbine (shorty) CP2s produce?
This CP2 is in 22 caliber and has a spacer in the hammer. With the 14gr pellets it's running at 420fps which is about 5.6fpe
@@African-Budget-Pellet-Gunner Cool not unreasonable at all.
