I have owned the M3, MK2, Maverick, Dreamline, Wildcat, and many other brands. I must say…this rifle is totally different.
So interesting story for today. These guys next to me were shooting .243 and a .300 win mag. They had targets out to 300 yards. Then, they decided to shoot at a clay pigeon they had set up at 215 yards. Bang bang bang. They shot so many times…not one could hit it…and damn was it loud! I’m sitting there watching for a solid 5-10 minutes lookin at them miss through my rangefinder. Then I say “wait…let me try” in my head. I ask them if I can take a shot at it. They say sure thing. Cool guys. Mind you 215 yards and I’m shooting 24.8 grain Nielsens close to 1000 FPS btw. I plug in the data in the ballistics calculator (I’m on power 5 and I forgot to input that velocity in)…so my first shot goes high. But I’m talking directly above high. Wind doesn’t even push it. I adjust and I barely miss it by millimeters on the second shot.
Adjust down one more time (this is a hold under)…I tell the guy who is spotting my shots for me “third times the charm.” I shoot and the thing bursts. 3 shots and I nail it at 215 yards. If I had realized that I had the power turned up a little higher, I don’t think I’d have needed 2 extra shots. If that was a turkey at 215 yards…I would’ve got it no sweat on the second shot. 100% my most accurate PCP. That guy spotting next to me said “well I guess we know who the sharpshooter of the group is.” Lol.
Pic below is a 5 shot group at 52 yards. 0.38 inches shooting NSAs at near 1000 FPS (it might be over 1000 FPS…I was using a $25 Chinese chrony so that may be why I was shooting higher when I dialed for 215 yards)
I was also shooting varmint knockers at 1050 FPS on micro 2 and reg at 115! Those grouped pretty darn well too. Sub-MOA.
