First Blood for the RP aka Sexy Rexy

[L.Leon]

Ten sparrows and three starlings, ranges from 15 to 25 yards, all one shot kills. RP sending Crosman Premiers Domes. 3-12x40mm Athlon Talos atop. Most of the sparrows were taken off the boards in that window. Did not police up the carcasses. The RP performed great, can't wait for the next session.

Nice shooting and nice carbine!

 

[L.Leon]

@bander124, thanks. She is sweet handling, light and deadly. Am loving the form factor and its usefulness in sub 40 yard pesting. She is scheduled for many more outings in the coming weeks.

Very cool, having a repeater hunting is indeed very nice.

Luis, congratulations on it's first blood, great shooting! The ergos look very comfy with that stock, and nice photos. Next seasons rats are in a heap of trouble!

 

[L.Leon]

@qball, thanks, yes I was able to take multiples because of the magazine. I was definitely impressed by the RPs performance. I've been plinking with it out to 35+ yards so felt confident in this outing. I have to chrono it again as a baseline against the original very bad barrel. The custom barrel by Troy Hammer has been great.

 

[L.Leon]

@ranchibi, thank you. The ergos are just great, quick pointing and handling, super light even with the attached red light. Sweet to use in tight spaces and can reach out to 35+ yards effectively. Hoping to bag some rats soon...

@L-Leon You’ll probably clear that barn out in a couple of days. Then the the possums and feral cats will move in for the free meals. 

 

[Fglass]

Nice rifle and good hunting.

 

[Josh7388]

Really nice looking setup!

 

[L.Leon]

@ezana4ce, there still are many shots I have to pass up, equipment, vehicles and livestock. But am going to try my best to put a dent in the sparrow population there. @fglass, thanks, it's 30" long and very quiet. @josh7388, it really a sexy gun, that it's finally performing to match its looks is a plus. I have another setup in the works, and am excited to compare and contrast the two.

 

[timlard]

Nice looking setup. Good luck.

Nice work, nice rifle!

@flintsack, thanks. It really is a great short range pester.

@flintsack, thanks. It really is a great short range pester.

So, after a couple on months, what are your final thoughts on this pistol?

 

[L.Leon]

@felixS, hadn't shot it much since this outing. The Atomic XR has become my main rig. I did shoot the RP today at 15 yards, you inspired me, very happy with the groups and will start to use it more.
