Best groups ever with my .20 cal

[davelarson]

No wind tonight and it all came together for the best groups I’ll probably ever shoot. Using the Theoben .20 cal and the 13.73 grain pellets. 130 yards, the sub inch 5 shot group is almost unbelievable to me. One group is a full 12 shot magazine. And to be honest the group on the small disk is a cheater, it’s really 6 shots because one missed completely. This is definitely my favorite rifle and scope combo!

Awesome shooting Dave. Wow, that's like a 1/2" five shot group you got there? Nice

Nice!

How about some info on the rifle (What rifle, fps / foot pounds, if pcp is it regulated, factory or tuned, etc)?

Theoben, 20 cal, 12 shot mag...Sounds like it was a regulated Rapid MKII

Great shooting Dave. Lots of interest in the .20 lately. I don't have 130 yds but my Rapid mk ll will print a small cloverleaf @ 75 yds with the new jsb exact heavies 15.9's. The Z man like the heavys in the 900-920 fps range. And he is dead on. It's like jsb designed these with the Rapids in mine.

Thanks you guys, it is a regulated tuned Theoben, AZ has it shooting at about 860 if I remember right (I need a chrony)! It’s shooting the 13.73 best, the heavies are fine but there’s an occasional flyer. AZ said that the heavies are more stable at over

900 FPS. The trigger is very good two stage that breaks at 4 oz. I also give much credit to the scope, at 52X I am able to see the crosshairs in a pellet hole at 100 yards. And the rifle and scope weight about 15 pounds! So it’s really stable if you have the bags right. AZ also machined in a space on the block so I can single load pellets very easily.

Absolutely fantastic long range 20 cal group! I tried many times but was never able to shoot a half inch hundred yard group with mine. I got very close numerous times.

Thanks Mike, I have to admit that I’ve tried hundreds of times on the same target with the same rifle and pellet. Out of all of those attempts only a few groups were worth showing. But there were a lot of great groups up until I launched a flyer and ruined it. Ha ha, I know just what you mean about getting very close numerous times. And I won’t even try it if there’s any breeze at all.
