I didn't need another air rifle.

I'm finding it to be a bit hold sensative too but I was kind of expecting that coming into it. So far my best hold seems to be good for about 1.2" at 30m with the JSB 10.3s at a full ~20fpe.
I'm going to keep testing pellets and holds to see if I can that down to 3/4". I have some heavy JSB 13gr on the way for testing too. If I can't get it under 3/4" I'll open it up and start fiddling. Fingers crossed either way.

Oh we're cooking with fire now. Came home from work and started trying different variations of the artillery hold. When I got to my fourth attempt, things started looking promising. The low shot on the far left group may have been me but either way its under an inch. Based on the other two I have a hunch it will be consistently under half inch at 30m with some more practice (one can hope). Progress!

I've never needed a air gun but I have twelve at the moment and more to come. I did need a .45 PB because my city is going to hell.

Hmm, hold sensitive? Check the lockup, put in screw cups, some delrin buttons on the piston and then glass bed the stock. 
Or enjoy her just the way she is.

I'm just going to keep on shooting it and enjoy her for what she is for now. She's already behaving much better than yesterday by a mile!

Its a vicious cycle! I am picking up a 124 in a couple of weeks though. I'm really looking forward to that one

I had both my Hatsan's out today for some action and my target hits looked like the yellow dots on yours...and that was my best one. The AR 350 looks like it fits you well.

Not with this one yet but I do have a few guns that probably could. Now I'm curious....That's nice but....can you write your name with it yet?

Those dots are about 1/2" so if your 95 is consistently doing that you got yourself some gold. Congrats!

Oh boy thats no bueno then. Have you checked your pivot? Sometimes they loosen up a bit and you don't get a solid lockup.No, I meant each dot looked like one of my hits
You do have that 50S coming in though, so expect to be spoiled there. My .177 50S will just stack JSB 8.44s all day at 30m

They really aren't that bad, I'm still trying to overcome the trigger pull, I'm getting there. I need to build me a shooting table that I can sit at and get the rifles stabilized. The !000X had the loose screw syndrome for the first couple hundred shots, I seem to have conquered that as of yesterday and got it sighted back in to where I'm doing 2in. groups at 35 yards with the open sights. the 95 vortex is doing about the same....but the included scope will need to be replaced.

Yeah the included scopes on those guns are notoriously bad. The one that came with my 95 had something rattling around inside straight from the box so I never even tried to use it.
