Shooting Sheridan .20 PCP with open sites @100 yards in excellent conditions

[Flintsack]

I said in my last post I would shoot a 1 inch group with this rifle when I had the opportunity to shoot in good conditions. I sure gave it my best tonight. I had a good hour plus of excellent conditions. 2 to 4 inch wind, but extremely steady.

it was really interesting to shoot this in the good conditions and really get used to the site picture, which allowed me to watch my groups get smaller and smaller. The last three groups were the best of the night.I almost pulled it off, I did five shots in 1.2 inches. Not bad for 50 year old Airgun converted from CO2 to PCP, with open sites. Makes me smile.

I bet it doesn’t weigh more than 3 1/2 pounds.

Good shooting , Makes me want to get my 1960 Sheridan fixed not been shot in 30 years , I heard the brass barrels never need to be cleaned ...

Man, those are some very nice guns and to shoot that well at 100yds I give that to the shooter. Where did the stock on the bottom picture come from? Very nice and whoever did it, awesome job.

Everyone loves that stock, including me. I believe it was made by the same gentleman who did the conversion to PCP.

Impressive shooting and that's a beauty of a rifle

The funny thing is, I purchased this rifle as part of a Sheridan lot in an auction. I didn’t know it had been converted to a PCP, you couldn’t tell from the pictures. It wasn’t really the rifle I was interested in it was an extra. And I absolutely love it.
