Evening everyone,
For the first time in nearly a month I was able to do a little backyard plinking with my recently acquired Crosman 160. Outside temps in the 90’s and humidity at about 160% but at least the wind was down. Shooting scoped at 15 meters the groupings were pretty good, 1/2-3/8 inch five shot groups with a flier or two. Low cost pellets. I did think it was interesting that using two 12 gram co2 cartridges only gave me about 40 shots in .22 while the rifle I use competitively will give 65 or so in .177 also using two 12 gram cartridges. It makes me wish the matches I shoot would allow .22 though, this thing is a tack driver and nice to shoot. Just goes to show that a gunsmith who knows his business can be worth every penny he charges. The guy that has done several for me certainly is.
