Question

[drewcif]

I have a 2k2 STO autococker that hasnt been getting a lot of love from me lately, and im wondering if the valve in this is better than that of say a 2k2 Regular autococker (which i employ as a Sniper II) and if so me thinks the valve from the STO might find the SNiper II and visa versa.

Drew to be honest you do not require a fancy/super whamadyne (sp?) valve for a sniper II. The stock brass valve out of a 2K+ cocker is more then sufficient. The only real reason for needing a "better" valve in a sniper is to run ultra low pressures which does not gain you anything and destroys your gas efficieny. I set up mine for around 350-400 psi to get good reliable shot consistancy, reasonalbe gas efficiency and quieter report.

Hope that helps

thanks a lot! Mine is running about 220-230 its actually pretty efficient.

low pressure and efficiency are not always the same... but all of my cockers/snipers are low pressure, most operating below 200 psi with great efficiency

I agree, that it can be done with proper tweaking and time...but it's easier to focus on one or the other. And LP just doesn't seem to have the benefits of shooting 5+ pods and a hopper on a 45/45, at least for me. And I really don't think there's much difference (if any) between the results of the two valves listed above.
