Question about tuners on air rifles

Post by moonlightrun »

I see people shooting rimfire rifles in competition tend to have tuners on them. I wonder if a tuner on any of my .177 pellet rifles would make them more accurate?

As I understand things, a tuner affects barrel vibration compensating for variations in muzzle velocity. Given a 10m air rifle likely has a very efficient regulator, is there enough MV variation for a tuner to do anything?
