Hey All
After rekindling my love for Airguns a few years back, I simply fell in love with the sport. So much so that I built a 100 yard range on my property just for Airguns.
I spent hundreds of hours tweaking my Airguns. I especially loved my 22cal Daystate AurWolf, 25 cal FX Impact, 22 cal AirArms S510, 177 cal RAW TM1000 and finally my 25 cal FX Crown. The results were amazing and I loved the sport even more.
This spring I took delivery of a Daystate RedWolf Rosso One in 25 Cal. I mounted a new Vortex Viper Gen II PST, adjusted the trigger position, changed it to mid power and hit my range. After a sight-in with Sports Match Adjustable Rings, I was awestruck. Shot after shot stacked on top of each other at 50 yards. No need for adjustments, just JSB MKII 34.95 grain pellets stacking like a laser beam.
I was so shocked that I had to show my wife. She uses an Anshutz MPR 22LR Rifle with a Nightforce SHV Scope and eley ammo on the range and she couldn’t match my groupings. We were both in awe of the RedWolf.
Here is a picture from my range today while I was feeding the Grey Jays:
This is where my problem started. The precision of the RedWolf made airgunning boring. While I could get very close to this accuracy with my Airwolf, Impact and Crown, the RedWolf was doing it straight out of the box. Somehow, the precision didn’t feel earned or particularly amazing.
I think I miss fiddling with my Airguns and trying to eek more accuracy from them. Somehow, I think the RedWolf has stolen the mystery and accomplishment I found with my other Airguns. I know this might seem weird, but after an afternoon of shooting, this is sort of how I feel. Has anyone else experienced this feeling with the RedWolf?
