.177 Crown Tact Compact-ish (tube version) with 500mm .177 barrel.
7 lbs 10 ounces scoped(as pictured):
At approx. 29" folded, would you still consider this to be a "compact"?:
I used the same TP and HS knob settings as I did with the 380mm .22 barrel and came out with these-
Shooting JSB 8.44g @ 720 fps yields 88 shots( but most of the last mag of 22shots was off the reg). This is only about 9 fpe, so I shot this target at only 25 yards:
I decided to find the TP and HS knob settings to find the one that more closely approximated 12 fpe and came up with this one and shoot a target at 30 yards(as in previous thread using 380mm .22).
Shooting JSB 8.44g @ 805 yields 88 shots and once again most of the last mag is off the reg. Seemed to still shoot ok, tho:
The wind seemed to be gusting a bit more when I shot this KO string, so the groups could definitely be tighter, subsequent 50, 75, and 100 yard groups have demonstrated. The .177 KOs have been consistent about the 75 yard(or 100 yard) groups not being much worse that the 50 yard groups. Shooting JSB KnockOut 13.43g slugs @ 901 fps yields 35 shots before POI starts dropping:
If anyone knows of a 380mm .177 liner or any length .177 liner(I can cut them down to 380mm and re-crown) for sale, please let me know. I'd like to experiment on a TRUE .177 compact.
