Comparing the ASP Sig and R1 177 at 100 yards

[Flintsack]

There really is no comparison. I tried for a few hours, to get my incredibly accurate R1 to group at 100 yards. It simply bounces around too much. I couldn’t get a group smaller than about 5 inches. I knew the gun could shoot better. So I decided to try offhand. I believe all these spring Piston air guns were designed to shoot offhand for hunting. The sporting models anyway.

Below are the results with the ASP. It was significantly easier to shoot accurately.

I shot two offhand groups with the R1 . This was the first one. It was five shots. The other one was about twice the size, still not bad.

Wow,100yds.with a springer offhand,your one study platform and a great long distance shooter.

How much does the pellet drop at that distance,do you have to do anything "special" as far as setting your scope,like use a drop compensate scope mount.

The Sig is designed such there is no barrel droop !

At a hundred yards? Off hand to boot? I would say that is better than I could do.

Nice! As I said earlier...years ago I never would have thought a springer could group at 50!!!

 

[Flintsack]

Neither one of these rifles had any barrel droop.


I’m guessing it’s going to drop about a foot between 50 and 100 yards. These are pretty high velocity rifles at 18 foot pounds or thereabouts. I didn’t pay much attention when I set it up. I just get it on target and start shooting.

The cool thing is, because I’m shooting off hand , I can see the pellets fly through the air and hit the group.

you do need a little bit of luck to shoot that group. But it does prove the rifle is capable. At least once.

I’m really digging the asp .

They say there are no “ spare parts “ for the asp. Maybe they designed it to last and did it right Can’t argue with repeatable accuracy texts from all over .

I thought I found some wood ones but I did find a synthetic .22 for 499 shipped
