First go in PCP land

[seangabrell]

After a little tuning, tinkering, and zeroing, my first official PCP session went pretty well. These things are amazing! The splatter burst was at 50 yards. 5 shot groups on the corners with 10 shot groups center diamond. 8” gong at 102 yards, (3) 5 shot groups. Crown MK2 .22, 380 barrel. JSB 18.13’s at 895 fps.

That is one sweet rig for a “first go”… congratulations and good shooting.

Now you need to go buy a $300 starter gun and see what a huge difference there is in accuracy! My Crown is my all-time favorite rifle. Congrats on getting into PCPs. Great hobby, and AGN is a great place to connect with other PCP fanatics.

I love the profile of your rifle and I know that it's a shooter from way back, I like the background as well, a shooters paradise!

Folks with deeper pockets than me always so "buy once, cry once" -

WELL PLAYED SIR!

Now enjoy that airgun, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

 

[Geezerhood]

Looks and shoots great!

If I could have a "do-over" I would probably go with the Crown vs the M3 Impact. Seems more versatile than a chassis gun.

Here is my 380mm 22 crown, Headbanger at work. Great shooting rifle…18’s at 880. It will be tuned to shoot the H&N slugs soon since Buster, ghost 22 compact, had it’s first hunt Shooting 18’s at 875.

Thanks all for the input. After years of shooting springers I believe 99%of the time you get what you pay for. In the end it takes more money to make something into something it’s not. I was able to shoot 2 of my friends .25 prophet 1 and .30 impact mk2 before decided on which way to go into pcp’s. The prophet may be up for sale soon and I’m considering it, a lot more lefty friendly than the impact, for me anyway. But I’m more than pleased with the crown. Over the next few weeks I’ll be throwing the 700 barrel on and seeing what it can do with the 25.4’s
