My EBR Prize - Daystate Redwolf Safari .25 (.22) - review and tests

Jump to latest Follow Reply
Shooting Benchrest to 50 meters (55 yards) distance for the first time with my Redwolf Safari in .22 caliber. You will see the pellets fly in super slow motion (13 times slow down) and super clear picture with Kahles scope. Approximately 237 and 4x score. As far as I remember the best result in Extreme Benchrest 2019 on 50 yards was about 232. Probaby my result is not the worst one.

Continue my preparations for Rocky Mountain Airgun Challenge and Extremebenchrest 2021.
Three 10 shots groups to 110 yards distance with my Daystate Redwolf. New 580cc air bottle (thank you Daystate), new bipods clamp (I wish it had 5 weaver pieces, not 3).

Now my gun is 90% ready.

RusBear, I’m betting the other competitors hate to see your posts of these groups lol! It is letting them know that they might as well stay home lol! Still you gotta watch out for the likes of Centercut, he can do that too. It just blows my mind that airguns are capable of doing that kind of accuracy. I’m so jealous of that shooting range too, must be almost wind free. Thanks for sharing your success and good luck with the contest!

Thank you, Dave.

I believe that all people are good and kind until they do bad things to me. This is my attitude to life.

Of course I will do my best to win, because spending my 2 monthes salary for each trip in US and not winning is an unacceptable generosity for me ;D 

I have helped the owner of that land, where I have my shooting range, to buy it with the discount of almost 1 million dollars. I was a long and complicated story of trials with the government (my profession is lawer). So he helped me to make my shooting range on that land. 

I can not say that it is wind free shooting range. As you can see it is like tube, so the wind there can be fast and unpredictable.

But today I came to this place at 5 o'clock in the morning and it was almost no wind there, you are right.

100F (37c) heat in Moscow region. It is the highest temperature in June for all periods of weather watch in Moscow. 
Anyway it is not the reason to cancel my 100 yards benchrest practice. I'm absolutely happy with my Redwolf gun, my perfect Kahles scope and with my sorted pellets, but I'm very unhappy with my shooting and wind reading skills 
The first match gave me 206 and 2x score. The second match was 225 and 3x that is allright.
I tried to shoot the third match, but realised, that my brain boils and it's better to finish my practice. All in all it took me 4 hours in the open field under that burning sun.

You know, velocity is fine. I'm absolutely satisfied.

Thermal sensitivity of my Redwolf has (had) some interesting limits. As a fact in my previous setup (before my last corrections) I found out that at +15c the velocity is 296-298 meters per second and at +25c is 293-295 meters per second. Maybe it was the consiquence of using the highest possible voltage.

I'm not sure if I will have the same corrections on my present programm. But now I'm very happy with the stability of projectile's velocity on my gun.

Some people ask me, why don't I use barrel tuner on my gun?

I've translated The barrel tuneration article by Brian Litz (?) If i'm not mistaken, studied it carefully and made a whole bunch of experiments with tuneration on regulated and non regulated airguns in 2016-2017. My conclusion at that time was simple: .22lr (article was about it) and airgun are very very different type of guns.

If you have good ammunition in .22lr, you will have repeatable vibration of your gun system from shot to shot and your barrel vibration will be also almost perfectly repeatable. 

But every PCP airgun has an airtank and the pressure in it changes every shot (even the weight of the gun system itself changes). More to say the air consumption on different pressures is different for every shot. 

My conclusion was that the barrel vibration changes from shot to shot in any pcp airgun (if extra big airtank is not tightened, of course) with the changes of pressure in the airtank (in the simple view of the gun system), so no any fixed barrel tuner will work correctly on airgun in the whole variety of airgun pressure limits. 

So you can make tuner, you can adjust it to have excelent accuracy on 210-205 bar for example, but it will not work correctly on other pressures.

At least if we speak about free hanged barrels (no shrouds or other fixing parts).
