.177 Satisfaction

[FelixS]

PCP wise, I started off with a Bobcat .25, then a Raptor HP .30, then an Impact .30. The way to go seemed to be bigger bore.

Then I got a DreamTac Compact .25 and changed out the barrel to a .177. I have got to say, that little thing is a pleasure to shoot. So dang quiet and very little drop. this weekend I found the JSB Exact Monster 13.43 gr were the perfect match for the barrel. You can shoot birds one after the other and by the time they figure out what's happening, they don't know what just happened! The cream on the cake is that you can shoot all day for less than $12.

Just had to share that.

Totally agree with .177 satisfaction.

How accurate is that thing?

The PCP world seems to have forgotten that stuff used to get killed just fine with sub 12fpe .177s forever ago. The stuff getting shot at aint changed!

Cool looking rig, I bet it's like shooting a dang ole laser beam!

I shot .177 for 20 years. I got converted to larger bore when I started shooting pests. The knockdown was better. Love .177 too, so does England

I can shoot my Daystate Red Wolf .177 HP from 15 FPE with JSB 8.44 gr all the way upto 38 FPE with JSB Beast 16.20 gr



A very useful and versatile air rifle

.177 is the most accurate caliber, IMO. Don't sell short it's ability to use for hunting small game at 60 yards or less. If your range is confined, it's the best for precision shooting. I will always have one in my collection. My favorite is my RAW HM1000. Currently set up at 15 FPE and gets 200 shots per fill. I started using it to shoot BR LV, but been shooting it for FT for many years, and would never think of replacing it with anything else.

My Fx Crown is a real shooter with the 13.43 redesigned jsb's very fun gun to pest with, gotta love the 177 started out shooting that caliber as a kid!

Recently got a .177 and gotta say one of the best guns to shoot. Very quiet, no recoil and laser accuracy. I too went the .30 route and while I do love smacking something with those 44gr pellets just not practical for me. This is a much better fit

FelixS, I know exactly what you mean about picking off several birds before they get it figured out. Lots of shots and cheap like you say. Nice looking little rifle you have there. SorenSD, Your groups from the red wolf are incredible. Just like jps2486 with the Raw. I really appreciate low recoil of the small calibers as well. Dairyboy do they have CZ barrels? Nice choice of stock!

JPS2486, Oh my, that is some nice shooting. What range is that? I better get out and practice!!!

 

[Batano91ITA]

This is my BSA buccaneer SE! with JSB monster diabolo redesigned 13,43gr is very precise 

 

[bearair]

I've had great results pesting with the .177 caliber.

Love the .177, my favorite by far! Accurate and backyard friendly, many pellet choices and now slugs! What’s not to like...

 

[JWilson]

This one is very satisfying too
