I wasn't able to get some great groups on this gun for some time, so i cleaned the barrel and let the gun season for a few shots. and after around 30 shots i was able to get a same hole group at 55 yards. After setting up strelok correctly... I started to try long range shooting and was able to get a consistent sub 1 inch group at 70 yards. I pushed this gun to 90 yards and i managed to score hits on sparrows and doves. quite happy with the performance so far, however I think i'll end up getting another air rifle in a few months. but im learning the ropes of being accurate and consistent still and im happy to be learning the process.


I think i settled with the P35X as it looks quite light and decent for on the move shooting. I'll be able to get that maybe by the end of this year :D

Pellets out past 70y is a literal wish and pray to hit whats aimed at if any sort of breeze or wind is present.
Sounds like you & rifle are doing well as anyone can realistically expect.

Thanks Motorhead, took a lot of tinkering though. I actually managed hit sparrows past 80 yards also. But I haven't tested that too much as I want to avoid unnecessary injuring, however the ones I did hit were instant kills luckily. I had a close call at 120 yards where I almooooost headshotted a dove but a few mms off target 😅. I think I'm pushing it at this point. Better to stick to 70 - 80 yards

Be careful about shooting doves. They are considered a migratory game bird and require a federal "duck"stamp and they must be in season to shoot. Another point I do not know if using a rifled gun is legal for them either.

Wish i had a scope camera mount for this, i headshotted a sparrow at 85 yards in considerable winds on a moving branch. I feel so accomplished with that hit due to it being a moving target in the wind. (I wont say it wasn't luck) but a hit is a hit. i later input the data after the shot to see where i actually aimed. and it was as the image nearly same.

i did Chronograph this rifle, i did mention having issues with the regulator. as it was losing pressure and stabalized at 95 bar. anyways... i did the chrono and i got some underwhelming results... i only got 720 fps on 18 grain pellets. i adjusted the hammer spring and i managed to max it at 760 fps. I guess it'll work for now as it has been still surprisingly accurate. With the help of strelok ofc... I am planning a full regulator rebuild sometime the next month or so and to adjust it to 115 bar. but so far not too bothered as long as i am able to shoot. I made my first 100 yard kill today in 6m/s wind. something tells me this rifle only needs some regulator work and if i manage to make it work like a charm this rifle can be on to something. Attaching as well a strelok table i guess.

It seems a lot the similar architecture PCP's coming out of the KRAL factory under various brands have a VERY small plenum on the regulated guns and even lack much pre-chamber volume on un-regulated versions.
Not surprised at all on the weak output numbers.

May look into a heavier hammer spring and test it to see if it might perk things up a bit ?

I definitely might consider it. I'll adjust the regulator first to see if I can get anything over 820 fps on 18 grain or 900 fps on 16 grain pellets.
