30m prone TR77 NPS latest results

oh I also did the roller bearing trigger mod as myairgunreviews recommends as it is terrible, the bearing mod worked a treat and is great now, another issue I had with it after a while was the cocking arm from the barrel to the piston sort of skewed to one side and it caught on the moulded webbing inside the stock as I tried to cock the rifle actually preventing me doing so, I had to shave them back flat with a razor blade.

I have a new bearing leftover from when I modded my Nitro Venom waiting to be installed on this TR77. I will keep a watch for any linkage issues that you mention.

awesome keen to see how you go, I found the best hold for it to be grabbing a post of similar with my left hand, resting the rifle across my left wrist, holding the grip firmly and stock to my shoulder firmly as well, this is best for pesting to have it zero'd this way as it is did shoot a bit different off a rest

my supplier of the nikko stirling scopes has been cooperative and I have spent a few more $$ and got a sabre 4-12x42 scope from them with 1 piece mount on it's way as a replacement, I will probably just keep it on the shelf as the current combo is working great

I recieved my TR77 NPS yesterday, opened the box and tore it down, reassembled it and got to dial it in a tad. After 10 shots I was spinning a quarter sized spinner at 13 yards 10 shots in a row. This little rifle feels like it has some power. I like the lightweight too!

good news mate which pellets is this with?

 

[Bobbed06]

I had some Crosman Pointed pellets I wanted to get rid of as my Ruger hates them. So I figured I would get rid of them for break in usage. I will do some comparisons this weekend hopefully and see what the NPS TR77 likes best. Most of the online testing suggests the Crosman Premier Hollow Points are the best choice for the TR77.

I have the following choices

1. Crosman Premier Hollow Points (I suspect these will be best out of my current choices)

2.Crosman Pointed Pellets (these are what I have used to get some break in shots)

3. Crosman Wadcutters

4. Crosman Destroyer EX

 

[AUS_TR77NPS]

the destroyers were one of the worst in my rifle, have not tried any of the others

 

[Bobbed06]

Yea, several people have said the same. The Destroyers were one of the very first pellets I ever bought. I think they are just aerodynamically challenged LOL.

Now, I do have to say the Crosman Pointed I am breaking in this TR77 with seem to fit nicely, where as they fall thru my Ruger Blackhawk (it likes the Premier Hollow Points best) The pointed pellets seem to be doing ok for break in and 13 yards. Further testing will weed out the bad ones. I havent had any time to do any plinking from a bench yet. Next step is 20 yards from a bench.

 

[AUS_TR77NPS]

keen to see how you like the JSB, I might try some shots off a bench and see how I go on the weekend, might try the Sabre scope out depending how I feel

 

[Bobbed06]

Crosman Pointed first shot at 21 yards Bullseye!

The Crosman pointed are the hits in circles. I posted up details in my NPS TR77 post.

nice work

 

[AUS_TR77NPS]

tried out the sabre scope today, optics and AO is good, trying to zero was painful as adjusting either turret would affect both not just the one you were adjusting, extra magnification is nice tho

 

[Bobbed06]

Were you able to get that scope dialed in?

 

[AUS_TR77NPS]

yes I think it is pretty spot now on after more than a few shots....

 

[Bobbed06]

I am gonna give the Crosman Ultra Magnums a try. They are 10.5 Gr I believe. I think they may be well suited for the NPS TR77 as its a real powerhouse and could use a slower,heavier pellet to up the impact and stabilize flight.

 

[AUS_TR77NPS]

I used the cometa exact 10.3 grains and they were great, I then tried the JSB 10.3 and they were terrible, the JSB 8.4 are by far the best for my rifle. My neighbours have cracked the poops about me using it, we have 5 acres, the australian gun laws are such that even tho you may be allowed to use your rifle if someone doesn't like it and complain you are in for all sorts of trouble so it will be now taken to the range only when I wish to shoot, which is making me think may as well just get a 'proper' rifle if I have to do that, the only indoor range close by is a pistol club which only goes to 20m

 

[Bobbed06]

On one side of me I have the best neighbors a fella could ever ask for, on the other side I have the worst neighbors one could imagine. They are so bad, I am contemplating selling out and relocating. This hill side is full of some odd people for sure. I am almost positive the problem bunch has a shallow, shallow gene pool.

 

[AUS_TR77NPS]

yeah not overly impressed I was always very careful to not shoot anywhere near their direction but they obviously are gun haters so it is what it is I guess, all I am trying to do is get rid of the noisy myna birds that are in plague proportions here

 

[Bobbed06]

Just gonna have to setup some bait stations within reach of your house windows. That way most of the noise is contained within your house, and you arent visible to the crabby neighbors.
