My Saber Crown I received from SPAW in 22 was the most accurate rifle I have owned in both 18gr and 25gr on the same tune at 50 yards. I never had to touch the tune. I often regret selling it.What can be expected at 50yds with an unmodified but tuned FX Crown using pellets?

This is compared to 2 Red Wolf’s, 4? Impacts, Cricket, Pulsar, 2 Uragans, and I’m sure I forgot a few. (not including my 177s in comparison at 50yds)
I don’t usually measure group size, but I can tell from the paper games we play, I had higher scores and visual group sizes when testing that were better than all my others.
The only reason I have picked up another is that I wanted to try out a few other brands I haven’t tested to see if there is something better.
Would you guys agree that basically 1/2" at 50yds is a safe bet for accuracy?I have 2 and they are lights out. Just sold one to get the new one. I guess there is a way to not be accurate with one, but you'll have to try really hard. The 22cal is easy with JSB 18's or 25.39's. I used JSB 10.3's and 10 grain JSB slugs at 50. 1/2 groups are easy with a bipod and bag. I was going to put a carbon sleeve on them, but they didn't seem to need it. Granted I shoot normal speeds with pellets meaning 870-900, not a 14.3 at 1100fps and wonder why I'm getting 2 inch groups. lol
Absolutely! 100%Would you guys agree that basically 1/2" at 50yds is a safe bet for accuracy?
Easily! I posted when I first got mine with some testing different ammo and different speeds and even in that testing scenario, the groups were under 1/2” almost the whole time even when considering outside edge instead of center. Most were in the 1/4” range especially when you looked at the groups that were optimized for speed.Would you guys agree that basically 1/2" at 50yds is a safe bet for accuracy?
I had a .25 Dreamline for years. That gun could shoot a tick off a fly's d*ck at 50 yards..... after I re-zeroed the gun lol. I learned real quick not to lean that gun on anything by the barrel. I actually stored that gun on a tripod just to keep the barrel from moving.But you gota re-zero every time!
Long floppy barrel won't stay put. See how many threads there are trying to fix this.
Don't believe the hype...
After my Maverick Compact experience with POI shifts, it’s so nice to pull out the Revere and its POI is the same as the previous use. Only leaving the luck to the pellet draw.I had a .25 Dreamline for years. That gun could shoot a tick off a fly's d*ck at 50 yards..... after I re-zeroed the gun lol.

Like I said. The zero shifted.This is a 5 shot group I took today from my crown at 25yds. This is with 18gr straight from the tin. Nothing special done to the pellets. As you can see there is other 5 shot groups in the pic. Top left was right after cleaning the barrel. Left was right before this group. Definitely repeatable.
I also own a raw and between the two they are both lights out.

Alrighty then. That seems like a solid answer. I dont think anyone can argue with 120 shots under a half inch.(12) 10 shot groups at 58 yards. 3-5 tailwinds with a left push. 18.1’s tuned to 888. No internal mods, Donny fat boy on the end of the 380 barrel. This was awhile ago but I’m pretty sure a dime covered most of them so 1/2” or less.

And now I have your Dreamline, lol. Still shoots that well…..I had a .25 Dreamline for years. That gun could shoot a tick off a fly's d*ck at 50 yards..... after I re-zeroed the gun lol.
