As there's a few different AGTs here, don't suppose anyone could let me know the length of pull on their particular models?

Thanks, why not rest the rifle on its bottle?Nice shooting chap .
only one observation. I wouldn't be resting the rifle on its bottle or putting a strap over the shroud . J.

Coz the bottle has 250 plus bar in it that needs much respect . the length of the bottle acts as a lever on the joint between the bottle and the block .
always tiz best not to put any extra load on that joint .
you can get a extension rain to fit .
Nice but I'm not impressed with the shot count compared to my U1 .... my U1 long in .177 was around 400....my U1 long in .22 is a tin of pellets.... my U1 compact in .177 is just shy of 200 and my U1 compact in .22 was just over 200...heard a few cases now of poor shot count on the U3

I cancelled a pre order seeing how air hungry it is getting FOMO reading your review sadly think In sub 12 the BRK ghost is just better at that power

I see the Ghost almost does twice as many. Why such a difference a wonder

My understanding is the restriction for sub 12 for u3 wastes a lot of air in high power the u3 is way more efficientI see the Ghost almost does twice as many. Why such a difference a wonder

There’s a brass valve some vids on you tube and if you drill some channels in it it’s supposed to be better but it wasn’t something I wanted to mess with as it would impact the power quite a bit too maybe Jeff can do a tear down and he might be able to she some light think his u2 videos may show why

Lovely looking gun.
I have bottle clamps on two of my guns because I don't want to drill the stocks and in my view if the bottle connection can handle 300 bar safely it can handle the forces of the use of a clamp and bipod if it couldn't saber tactical would need to add a disclaimer to its packaging

You've just said it your self . that joint ie the neck of the bottle is already loaded with 300bar = 4351 pounds per square inch of pressure. 1.94 tons . you are now adding a shearing force to the botton edge of the joint /neck due to creating a lever point .
wonder if any one still has a pic of the daystate bottle that fractured at its neck and lets go .
the bloke was lucky it didn't take his head off .mind you it did make a nice hole in the wall .
Never never take HPA for granted . coz when it bites the results are normally very nasty.
A mate years ago with a Rapid with a bottle clamped bipod had the bottle neck go .
he was lucky he just ended up with a hole in his garage wall that wasent a door or window .
if he had been facing the other way the house acoss the road would have had a unwelcome visitor .
Respect your HPA vessel as it could bite you or someone else at any time you dont look after it.

This why AGT make these . 260mm long
And think about the amount of leverage to this point. ( Red ) when being stressed by Blue
