This was my first attempt at grouping, fist rear, UTG bipod front, scope on 15x. The trigger on the Atomic XR is set much heavier than my Bantam or Compatto. I will be adjusting it lighter this weekend. These groups can only get better once I get more familiar with the gun. Don't know what happened with the flyer in group 3. Yesterday I took 6 sparrows from 25 to 40 yards so it's definitely a capable little gun.

Can't wait to post some groups from mine. Right now I'm confined to basement and don't have my scope so I'm working on keeping the shots in the pellet trap. I'm tuning for 15.89 pellets. Just head-sized a batch today. I can see how head size will affect groups just by how they drop into mag (or don't!) Some need a push to seat them, others drop in loose.

@tsfrid, I've been seating the pellets for a more uniform presentation to the breach. Don't know if it helps or not. Why not chrono a few strings while waiting for your scope? I need to buy a scope for mine as what's atop now is much too big and long.

I did run Chrony. I'm shooting (🤣) for 700fps with JSB 15.89. I'm pretty much there but ES is over 20. I think I can get it down with head size sorted pellets. I'm waiting on delivery of scope. Getting 3-12x Bug Buster as it focuses down to 3 yds.

Luis, very nice groups for such a small PCP! I'm sure you'll be able to shrink the groups with a lighter trigger pull but those are still excellent groups for a really short carbine. As you know, it's much easier for a longer gun to be held with less movement...Bantam then Compatto then Atomic then Rex or pp750. Have fun with that awesome Bricock!
