20 under a dime at 100?

[thomasair]

Here is 20 shots at 100y with 42gr slugs. Clearly not quite under a dime, but I had to lure you in. I was testing a customers barrel and I think it’s doing pretty well. Wind was 6-8 mph. Looks like a poodle.

That’s very impressive Mike. Both the gun and the guy behind the trigger. Is that a .22? Is that a dedicated slug barrel or pellet barrel?

 

[nervoustrig]

Wow Mike! All I can think is impressive in an altogether inadequate word.

 

[thomasair]

Thanks...I didn’t do much on my end. Just loaded and shot at the same place.

Its a dedicated 22 cal slug barrel. 

The poodle likeness is uncanny.

A poodle chasing after a ball. Awesome group. I’m sure Steve will be thrilled!

Ha it is the shape of a poodle!

Darn that one really hit way out there didn't it, like a whole 1/2", just appalling 

 

[Ghostranger169]

42 grain? Wow, that's bringing a lot of heat! And spot-on accurate too!

 

[thomasair]

I must have “pulled” that one.

That’s crazy at 100 yds.

Good golly. How fast those slugs be traveling?

 

[Guest]

Sweet. How much does that rifle weigh?

 

[nomojo65]

I always throw one out of the group. (MUST’ve BEEN ME!) even at a measly 25m.

seriously very good shooting, center fire barrel?

 

[davelarson]

Fantastic group. So amazing to be able to do that at 100 yards with an air rifle. Can you please post a picture of the rifle? How light do you have the trigger set? Congratulations, obviously you can do that all day long lol. I enjoy seeing amazing groups thanks for sharing.

Five years ago, this would have been an awesome group at 50 yards. 

It's amazing the leaps and bounds airguns are taking the last couple years. Wow!

 

[thomasair]

The barrel started out as a .900” Rimfire barrel. I turned it down to .630” so it could be swapped quickly for the pellet barrel without a barrel block change. Im guessing that probably knocked the weight down by 2 lbs....so about 12 1/2 lbs I suppose.

Have not actually tested the trigger but most of mine are in the 2-3 oz range.

This is shooting about 900ish. 

Here is a crappy pic.

Pick up the ball that is clearly next to the poodle and throw it.

You lured me in Mike.

I have an Anschutz 64 MPR .22 LR and a custom Anschutz 1907 single load match .22 LR and I could not shoot 20 shots at very close to 1/2” at 100 yards in “five lifetimes!” I can occasionally shoot some MOA and sub-MOA groups with both rifles at 100 yards, but not consistently. 

Putting 20 shots together at a dime’s diameter for 100 yards is more than amazing to me. This really puts this in perspective for me when I think of how good the high end air guns and associated technology has advanced recently. You’re not so bad either!

Whatever you do, don’t post any “one hole” 20 shot groups at 100. I think if I see that, I’ll sell the safe, the guns and take up another hobby.
