AirForce Condor Reviews

First off let's start with price. I shop around and no one else could beat the price. 2nd shipping was fast. 3rd. I only have about 20 rounds through it but so far everything works like it should.

Not much I would change except maybe give a recommendation on what open site work good or a good glass.

Picatinny mount is smaller than a normal one. I believe it's referred to a 11mm dove tail. I am still waiting on rings that will fit my scope to the gun.

The looks, the power, and most of all the accuracy!!

Make the rails weaver/picatinny not 11mm dovetail.

Get ready to be inspired !!!

The thing I like most is that Pyramyd Air was johnny on the spot with getting my order to me. The price and quality go hand in hand as does the accuracy and fun. I am so looking forward to putting my Condor thru the passes .

I would change nothing about this air rifle

Be prepared to have fun to the max.

Great power accurate not so heavy easy enough to load.

I might try the suppresor next time.

It is a little load but thats not an issue to me.I live in the county (barely) and can shoot fireams and airguns without fear .

Nothing. Has nothing to do with Pyramyd Air service or sales, which is top notch. They sell. We buy.

Every thing on it. And in it. I wish I had changed my mind. The one gun I truly regret buying. It is a Condor .25

Not remotely accurate, harsh poor trigger, excess and wasteful use of air. Primitive in every manner and way. Overpriced is an understatement. Sorry I ever bought it. However, you can use it as cudgel to beat the game to death. As you will miss.

I love the simplicity and adjustability of the design. There is no shortage of power.

The safety is horrible, and removing it voids the warranty. Quality control was lacking, the bolt was so loose that it sprayed lead dust towards my face with every shot. It can be adjusted and thre's instructions on AF's website. The rifle is so over powered that even with the power wheel all the way down, nothing but the heaviest pellets will shoot with any accuracy at all. The barrel should be threaded for a LDC as without it this rifle is louder than a .22lr.

If you are a tinkerer, you'll love this rifle. But be prepared to buy lots of 3rd party parts to make this rifle perform as it should. Order the adjustable tophat kit so you can shoot a variety of pellets and a raised scope rail so you can comfortably use a scope. Also buy a DonnyFL adapter and moderator so you can shoot this rifle without ear protection.

Straight out of the box this rifle is a shooter, but it doesn't last.

Less than 50 rounds in, the trigger mechanism failed and locked up like it was welded together. Rifle has been sitting in the service department at AirForce for MONTHS.

AirForce customer service is not up to par. I purchased rifle in December 2020. Rifle was shot 2 days then malfunction. Rifle was sent back to Airforce. It is now February 2021, I still do not have my rifle back. They have not sent a replacement. They have not updated me on status. They are impossible to reach by phone. Very disappointed with this purchase and even more disappointed that buying an AMERICAN made product resulted in this.

Think long and hard before ordering AirForce

Powerful, accurate and beautiful! This is my first PCP rifle.

A better owners manual would be helpful.

It's excellent, powerful, accurate and beautiful. I added the Talon Tunes suppressor to make it backyard friendly. I like the power dial that can be raised and lowered depending on the type shooting.

I really like this rifle a lot! I have the .25 caliber and it is very accurate with the air pressure in the sweet spot and it is very powerful and loud. It is very well made. This gun will accurately shoot just about any pellet or slug you load in it with a little fine-tuning.

I bought the ring-loc valve kit which gives a lot more flexibility in adjusting the velocity for different weight pellets. I have also ordered an Altaros regulator so I can fill the tank to the full 3,000 PSI and adjust the regulator for the ideal pressure for accuracy and get more shots per fill. I want to change my grip someday. The factory grip is a little small in my hand, but not too bad. That is the great thing about this rifle it is very customizable by the average shooter. No special skills required.

You will really like this rifle. I would buy another one without giving it a second thought if something were to happen to this one. I might someday get a Texan to move into the larger calibers like the .357 or .45 caliber. It would be nice if they made a repeater, but it also makes you a better shooter when you know you only have a chance to make the shot.

This is a very good quality rifle and is very accurate as well as great fun to shoot!

It would be great if it had a regulator but it certainly isn't a deal-breaker. I would buy it again without hesitation if something were to happen to this one. There are after-market regulators available and are very easy to install from what I have watched in the videos. It would be good if Airforce offered different bolt on grips for bigger hands.

The .25 caliber condor is pretty loud especially when you turn up the power on the power wheel! I still chose the Condor over the Condor SS because of the 15 fpe difference per the manufacturer's specifications.

I got the condor 2 weeks ago. Very impressed when I opened the box. Never had a rifle like this before. I also have the Air Arms S510 in .22 cal. The Condor is .25 cal and very different. I instantly fill the tank from my Nomad II compressor. Then I mounted the scope which is a Nikon Monarch 6 1/2 X 20. I could not get it sighted in. I ran out of windage adjustments. Called Pyramid Air and was told to order the tri rail then mount scope. Which I did. Finally got it sighted in. Boy am I impressed. Damn thing is I beast. I didnt want it suppressed because I like the .22 like loudness. I absolutely love this rifle. Even more than the Air Arms. If your on the fence about buying one take my advice. Buy it.

I wish the scope didnt have to be mounted so high to get a good picture through it.

Like I said. Hesitate not. Youre going to love it

This gun is a beast, ive got this to shoot a 60 grain slug at 1094 fps=159 FPE

The tank should have a z fitting to raise the sight height

It is loud with a moderator, but incredibly powerful , modular design to customize to your needs

Power, I use this gun for coyote hunting and it puts them down (dirt naps) love it it very light very versatile 110% medium game hunting tool

The plastic breech

Built for hunters and accuracy

RAW power and built well

Nothing

If your into pests, small game etc this has the FPE without any questions. I have the Sumatra 2500 also. There both a beast. The AirForce Condor isn't as loud as the Sumatra. But the AirForce Condor is maybe 50 FPS faster which doesn't matter. To get it accurate with pellets and be in 1100 FPS range use JSB KING HEAVY MKII 33.95 gr and site this bad boy in at that speed. 100 yards away shot a crow and before I could take my eye off the scope the bird just fell over with no moment at all.

Got mine in .25 cal. Purchased in March from Pyramydair. Great shipping and packaging. This is well made air gun. Its the most versatile platform on on the market. I didnt want to review the air rifle untill I had to chance to throughly get to know it. I did over a year of research on this rifle before this purchase, knowing good and well what I was getting into. I love to tinker, so this was the perfect Airgun for me. Tinkering you will do with this rifle. Out of the box you will not get 1/2 groups at 100 yards, at least with mine I didnt. This rifle is loud without a moderator. I got one from talon tunes. Get a Chrony to shoot with. Mine was shooting H/N grizzly 31gr at 1300 FPS on power wheel #6 setting from the factory. That is116 FPE at the Muzzle. Have a good back stop, this rifle is very powerful. This condor has the new high flow valve on it and there wasnt a lot of information on the internet on it. More on that later

The valve and power settings on this rifle took a lot to get used to and that is just normal for this rifle! The only thing I wish they would change is the safety. Be sure to push the bolt completely foward to fully engage the hammer, failure to do so and you wont be able to take it off safe. I wish it had a regulator so each shot was consistent. As it is out of the box from 3000psi to 2000psi you will get an extreme Spread of 125FPS. Airforce should in include the ring lock valve kit with rifle. I bough one and it is like night and day difference in consistent velocity. If you have a condor with the new high flow valve do yourself a favor and buy that kit. Eunjins 16.1 gr at 1060 FPS average with 40FPE

Have a good air source. Ive got the airventori compressor and 100 cu. Scba tank. Next have a Chrony to shoot over to know your velocity for your settings. Buy lots of pellets to shoot. Mine likes many different pellets. You can almost make any pellet shoot well, by tuning it to that pellet. I have the 24inch barrels in .17,.22, 25, I bought the air tank for shooting the .17 cal and it can be used for the .22 and .25 barrels with better shot to shot consistency. After purchasing the ring lock valve kit, you dont have to use the .17 tank for shooting .17 cal just put the ring lock valve kit. .123 ring lock and put power wheel on 4-6 for accurate shooting. I was shooting

I was shooting Eunji 16.1gr at average of 1060 FPS over the Chrony making 40FPE, groupings 3/4-1 inch at 70 yards. I also have bought the 12 inch barrels in .177,.22, and 25. I love my condor. If you like to tinker, get one today. I would do it all over again. Also experiment with fill pressures. Mine likes 2700PSI down.

Everything, plenty of power very accurate dime size groups at 75 yes I have the .25, have taken 9 coyotes out to 65 yds dropped them where they stood. Great all around rifle for anything you need

Nothing

I don't know why so many people say its loud its really not that bad at all,

Very accurate and plenty of power. Good on ground hogs out to 70 yds so far.

I would much rather have the older air tank system . the other QDtank was easier to detach easier to fill and you could carry a spare tank that was easy to change. It's not hard to know when you need to charge ,the air gauge is UN necessary

Power. Light weight. Tank holds large volume of air. Accuracy.

Butt pad assembly works but not great. Quality control of air tank and valve assembly.

The tank is over 2 inches in diameter and requires a DOT hydrotest every 5 years. The tank has a 15 year life. Very few hydrotesters will work with them. A hydrotest with shipping costs approx. $70 with the two listed on the airforce web site. With my tank, the valve assembly was over torqued in manufacture and could not be removed from the tank for testing without damaging the tank and valve. A replacement tank (needing hydrotesting) and valve was supplied but the valve would not hold air. The new valve is now in for repair (I had to pay shipping to airforce airguns). After six months I still do not have a functioning tank and valve system. The condor has much to offer but be prepared every 5 years for quality of manufacture problems to arise. At the current price you could a save a little longer and get a European designed and built airgun...I wish I had.

It is very accurate and has performed excellent.

Nothing so far.

It is very loud which might be a problem if you have close neighbors.
