I received my NIB Sig ASP yesterday, First Impressions

[Flintsack]

First off again, thanks to a guy named viper dude (actually viper hawk). I cannot believe he lined me up on this brand new rifle. It was in a true value hardware, in a small town in Louisiana.

I’ve been looking for one for quite a while. In desperation, I started doing posts on the forum about a month ago…

The post:

https://www.airgunnation.com/topic/does-anyone-have-a-sig-asp-they-would-like-to-sell/

I called the store Monday, talked to the gun guy, and bought it. It’s a 177 caliber, with a synthetic stock.

I took it out and shot it last night, I really wanted to find out if it lived up to its reputation. I was not disappointed.

Here are my first groups shooting it at 42 yards first offhand, and then resting on the windowsill, with my hand for a cushion.

First two groups, offhand 42 yards 

Since it shot so well, I felt I needed it to give it a chance with a little bit of support. Resting my hand on the windowsill, and the rifle on my hand. See groups below.

The top group is 15 shots. At 42 yards. As fast as I could cock it and pull the trigger.

The bottom group is five shots, under an inch.

Stay tuned! We are going to go long.

That's FAR better than my first shots with that gun!



I'll have to go long when you do. My advantage is in pure volume of shooting that gun, your advantage is clearly your innate ability!!

 

[Glenroiland]

I love the trajectory of this gun in .177....

 

[Cyllwynn]

Wow. That’s impressive!

 

[Flintsack]

LOL! Glenn Roland, I may have some inate ability…However, I bought my first Springer in 1980. An FWB 124 that was my graduation present from high school.

I’m not sure how many tens of thousands of rounds I’ve shot with Springers since then. Including spending entire summer trying to shoot a 1 inch group at 100 yards with a springer.

All that said, I appreciate your comment, and I’m looking forward to going long with you…I’m starting right now. Any calm opportunity I get.

An old batch of CP heavies. That I bought from a field target shooter back when things were 20 foot pound. He took second in the nation shooting these pellets… in a PCP of course.

I probably can't do 100 or more for a few weeks. Have to hit the range for that. My max at my house is probably 65 to 70ish...

I tried A TON of pellets in this gun. It wasn't too pellet fussy, but the ones it hated it spit out like shotgun scatter. Only a few pellets reacted this way, and paper punching flatheads were especially hated by the asp.

You are one of the reasons I was so intent on finding this rifle.

Glad to know I could welcome you to the jungle....it gets worse here day by day...



For whatit's worth, I'm over 15,000 pellets in and have yet to clean the barrel. I keep saying if I see accuracy or FPE suffer, I'll clean it. Also, I never have to tighten screws....I check them but they dont loosen.

Is somewhat rough on scopes..

The .177cal Sig likes the heavier pellets. That 10 to 11 gr seems like the sweet spot. Out of curiosity what did you pay for the rifle/ scope combo ?

 

[GoldenStateAIRGUNer]

That was the case with the ASP20 I had. Stock screws never came loose.

 

[Flintsack]

It really likes the Crosman heavies. It also shoots really well with the JSB heavies. I’m going to post some groups this afternoon.
