mk3 sniper

[sonny]

Bought a Wildcat from SPAW recently and had it set up by Ken Hicks with pp. It arrived Thursday in pristine condition in a very nice FX hard case. Was a beautiful morning so took a few shots from 55 yards almost all groups could be covered with a dime. These were my best two groups 5 shots, red target was the JSB 25gr Kings the green was the JSB 34 heavy's

As usual I have never been disappointed by Ken or FX.

Those are two very tight groups at 55 yards. Good shooting!

 

[sonny]

thank you Leon.

 

[Acruz]

Nice shooting Sonny! Nice groups..

Angel..

 

[sonny]

Thankyou Angel, I think its a testament to the accuracy of FX and their superior liners.

 

[Blejda]

Very nice.

Nice looking groups and just pulled the trigger on a sniper and Aztec Emerald FFP from Tony at Talon Tunes. This wait is going to kill me but still have my 12 year old condor to play with that Tony sold me all those years ago.

Glenn I believe your going to like it like tom petty said "the waiting is the hardest part".

 

[douger]

yeah i shot my buddies 25 cal and was very nice didnt seem like it was a 700 mm barrel very accurate gun and very quiet 

 

[sonny]

 hey Doug, Its about a carbine length 35 inches + moderator 5 inches. Still reasonably short.

 

[Glenn5691]

I sure hope I get one without issues but knowing Tony he will check it out carefully. In the meantime I can learn all the tricks and best practices from people like you and maybe I can do the same for others on here. Have fun and happy shooting.

Sonny, what were the speeds of the 34g heavy’s, if I can ask?

 

[JoeKool]

Good shooting!

 

[sonny]

Bigragu...I'm getting 906fps with the heavy's and didnt crono the 25gr. BTW I have the smaller plenum (1.2) I think. I turned the hammer back to #6 and dropped the speed to about mid 880s-890 for those shots pictured. The guns new to me and I have barely shot a tin through it so far. I have a bipod mount coming soon and hope to get more trigger time on it.

Thanks Joe, and thanks for all the tips and info on these guns.

 

[Bigragu]

Thanks, Sonny! Nice or I should say, great, groups you got there! Makes you feel good towards your investment, doesn’t it?

you can pretty much count on those 25 grainers going at least 50 to 60 FPS more than the 34 grain heavy’s, and vice versa. If you ever chronograph your 25’s and say you’re at 1K FPS as an example, you can almost bet those heavys will be at around 940 to 950, or in that area.

Sexy groups there Sonny!

 

[sonny]

Thank you Glem

 

[sgtbriggs]

[sonny]

Thanks sgt, Kens a great guy to deal with.
