I'd sort of pushed this gun to the back of the safe because it performed terribly, but now that I'm 'in the zone' with my Impact, I'd like to dust the '98 off and and figure out why it's so bad.
It's a beautiful .22, no question, a real eye catcher.
It's just got horrible accuracy. At 50yds I expect hole on hole accuracy from this kind of a gun, but my '98 is more like a shotgun than anything else. I've tried every .22 pellet we have and it does best on a polymag, but even that isn't great.
Yes, I know about Artillery Hold and it's hard, but I have guys in our club who only do springers and they can't hit the broad side of a barn with this thing either.
Very frustrating.
It has been tuned (spring, piston and all that) buy a guy that knows his stuff (not me). It pushes a polymag around 680fps.
Another PCP guy in our club (who's a big time FT competitor) has this same gun with the same issues and he just leaves his at home.
I'd love to have this gun in the truck so I have an always ready .22, PCP just isn't truck friendly with all it's support gear.
Anyone out there able to help me solve these issues?
