N/A Springer Accuracy?

[Bear-of-Grayling]

Unless the discussion is referring to a “Match Springer” as in a Feinwerkbau 300, Diana 75, possibly a Weihrauch 55, or the like, it seems to me the word “Target and Springer” are a contradiction of terms. Yet this term is used quite often with springers that shoot quarter and larger size groups at mere 20 yards. I guess I’m old school but “Target Accuracy” once meant a single hole in the dead center of a bull at 10 meters. Just wondering if I didn’t get the memo. What does “Target Accuracy” with a springer mean to yall?

lol .. to me it means i can reasonably expect to hit a squirrel at 30 first shot .. i would accept even 50/50 odds .. ive had my hands on maybe 10 springers in my life, only one that qualifies is a gamo big cat .22 ... but im sure, yeah, those 700$+ jobs 'better' be reasonably accurate .. to me thats a tough pill to swallow though, you got to really love springers i guess, and im sure my diana stormrider out-shoots them still .. most of em anyway ..

I always thought 1/4" 5 shot group or better at 25 yards for a high end sporter springer. Kind of similar to a 1 MOA @ 100 yard firearm which is considered accurate and guaranteed by several manufactures for generally 3 shots groups. Not saying a 1/4" @ 25 yards springer would come close to a 1 MOA firearm at 100 yards. I have gotten 1/4" groups at 25 yards at times with my FWB 124D but not the majority of times.

To me, a springer with "target accuracy" is basically any gun that is averaging groups between 1-1.5 moa at reasonable springer ranges. I think out to 55yds is usually pretty reasonable for them. These guns also break that moa mark relatively frequently but it isn't a guaranteed thing.

IMO "Hunting accuracy" usually means its over 1.5 moa but gets used at any range it can hold an inch or so at. I think most decent break barrels fall into this category out to at least 40yds. Some more and some less but that seems like a fair range for many with the right pellet.

I’ll guarantee it!

I have 9 airguns. One is a springer. I kind of have a rotation, but I admit, I havnt nailed down something with it.... not sure what. Could be hold, could be technique. I've got a HW50, and it is VERY accurate, that I am sure. Just every time I pull it out, I have to adjust the sights. I have recently started storing it with the breech open. Maybe that will help?

The term “target accuracy” is ambiguous. This may be the first time I’ve ever seen or heard it used in a sentence. Maybe “target accuracy” is the accuracy one achieves from the shooting bench.

 

[Septicdeath]

I belive accuracy is dependent on how you are shooting. Are you shooting from a bench? Are you off hand? Maybe from sticks? Or considering other conditions. Weather, terrain etc....

 

[Ranchibi]

High end springers are accurate but take lots of consistent practice for hold sensitivity....

FWB 300su at 25 yards, 5 shots in each bullseye, today today as a matter of fact.. thats springer accuracy to me.

 

[Windmill01]

I have four springers, they are all accurate in their own right. To me “target accuracy” means that with any of my rifles I can hit what I’m aiming at, at the distance I know each rifle can be accurate to.

I’d consider “target accuracy” in a springer to mean that the gun itself is capable of MOA or less at 50 yards, (less than that for low powered guns), and also has extremely little hold sensitivity.

Of course a springer with extremely little hold sensitivity will still be more hold sensitive than most PCPs or powder burners, so achieving that accuracy will still be a challenge.

I’ll see if I can send it

It means different things to different people....in the older days, hitting a pop can was accurate. Then as guns improved man created targets to shoot at. I can remember hitting one inch at 25 yes was accurate !! Then years later it was dime size at 25 yds.
Today we expect dime size at 40 yrs and many will do that. Over an inch at 50 yrs is no longer acceptable...accuracy requirements change as guns improve and will continue to do so. We always want more than what we are getting, just life !!

Have you checked your stock screws? There are two holding the trigger and one holding the stock in place. Tighten them down with blue loctite and let them dry overnight.
