Weather broke enough for me to want to shoot on a day I had time to shot! End of last summer I vocalized my frustration with my M3 and getting it to shoot well. @Bigragu PM’ed me to offer some support and I soon decided to have him tune it for me. I live in southern Oregon and he lives in Northernish California so I drove my gun down to him so I could actually meet someone else that is into airguns. It was really great, @Bigragu was very welcoming and it was nice to chat. He got to work on my tune communicating all along the way detailing everything he did and documenting with photos. He finished a little before Christmas and I drove down again to pick the gun up, but due to weather and time I didn’t get to try it out till today.
I woke up to a calm and relatively warm day, but the wind had picked up by the time I shot. The ammo I wanted to shoot with it just wasn’t shooting well at all. So I threw in some Hybrids. Oh by the way .25 caliber 600mm barrel. The Hybrids were lights out! They were shooting at 1020 fps and grouping well at 85 yards. Picture of best group below. With that group there was a lull in the wind for the first three shots, the three nearest the bull. Then it picked back up on the last two shots. I was very happy with that grouping, and from a slug flying at 1020! That is going to be devastating to Starlings.
Part of this post is to give a shout out to @Bigragu. Not only was he professional, did a great job, and reach out to a frustrated member, but he also become a friend. Makes me glad to be part of this forum.
