Been a long journey with my M3 , but as of late in this configuration its become quite enjoyable.
I have a small range set up for the Airgun in the side paddock , very handy as i can just wander out the back and sling a few shots when weather conditions are ideal.. I have plates set out from 100 yds to 500 yds.
This morning a good friend of mine who shoots ELR regularly with me ( Powder Guns) took the M3 out to 500 yds. Weather conditions were excellent...overcast almost still with very little breeze.
He fired a total of 40 shots at the 10" plate ( 2 moa 500yds) ... there were 22 hits......so just over 50% strike rate on a 2moa plate at 500yds...... Great result for the M3.
....Also..... a fair majority of misses were very very close to impacting the plate !!
Slugs are NSA 27.5gr 218" @ 1060fps.. .
Just on 134 Moa of elevation needed at that distance.
I can just get away at that distance without using the NF Prism on the front . The Era-Tac mount has 70 moa, Air Marksmon rail has 30moa and the old trusty NF has 100 moa
