EquivalentDelta, Evidently you haven't seen my "How accurate do you think this is for 100 yards in almost calm conditions?" post

Sweeeet 97 yard headshot and great slow mo video!

Firstgear, It's a Crown MK2 receiver(fill gauge and reg gauge are on the bottom) in a (partial)Saber Tactical chassis. I removed the front arca rail, rear buttpad, and bag rider from the chassis to make it lighter and improve handling. I bought several 160cc (Dreamline, I think?)tube...

Congrats, L.Leon! That .22 Atomic really suits you(and many others). A lot of pesting prowess in a compact package and it shoots cheap ammo(CPHPs) well too. Great shooting!

29 grain NSA are the best I've tried in my 600mm Crown also.

More Unobtainium...

Because of it's diminutive size and easy handling, it's an awesome "truck gun" also.

Easiest way to "true up" Chairgun/Strelok Pro POI predictions when shooting at faster speed(when compared to predictions when shooting a slower speed) would have been to re-verify scope height info(by shooting a closer-than-zero target and comparing Chairgun predicted POI to actual) and then...

Crown Tact Compact in .177

Maybe try shooting 15 shots at the same point and measure to see if the y-axis and x-axis spreads are the same as when you move to shoot 15 in a horizontal row? Running a lightly tensioned string from the bench to the target can help identify any un-noticed wind also.

SqrlHntr, Good of you to try and help out the kids. Sorry it didn't work out. Around here, 4-H has trap and skeet(using a shotgun to break flying clay targets) programs. I would think that would be a "reactive target", but maybe not. Perhaps they don't like FT targets that depict animals, idk...

It's pretty normal for JSB KOs. If you try sorting a tin(by diameter and/or weight), the variability will be obvious. Tin to tin will vary also. Even when sorted, you still get flyers, just not as often. I've heard the MK2 KOs don't produce as many flyers, but haven't shot any yet.

If the trigger is set too light, the safety won't function. Very fine adjustments on those tiny trigger group screws; 1/8 of a turn can make a lot of difference.

@steve123, Thanks for providing a specific example of when and how you use the dirty reticle shooting an airgun. I understand(and use them myself) using them for long range powderburner shots(because they are more accurate relative to MOA at distance, compared to airguns). When I shoot at 200 to...

Thanks for the input, guys. I understand(and have used) the "small" dirty reticles like the Aztec in @L.Leon's post(or the 3 or 4 holdover lines on a Hawk AMX reticle), but the larger Christmas tree style reticles(that go down to 10 mils or so) just seem like clutter. I guess my point is that...
