Pretty strong argument! I'm a big fan of the walnut. I just got back from shooting my WC .25 for the first time. Nice groups! (I have the synthetic; I'm weight conscious ;-).)"RhoneRanger"Here's my case for a Wildcat .25 in Walnut....

Well, the numbers are in, and I'm blown away! I ran a full shot string and these are the best numbers I've ever got with any airgun I've ever owned! Shooting Hunter Extreme 28.24 gr (28.12 gr actual average measured) from 230 bar to 149 bar, I got:
.)
- 41 regulated shots
- 49.37 ft-lbf (avg)
- an astounding 1.81 SD!
- 889.3 fps (avg)

Dang! That is exciting. I'm hoping mine does as well. I would like to see some 25 and 50 yard groups that equal what I can shoot with my Marauder and the Royale.
Working on my 50-100 yard range. Need some bushes and trees cut down and the lane defined. But it is too blinkin hot here in Dallas to do that. It will have to wait a couple more weeks.

Yeah, I was gazing in amazement at my Chrony! I was getting the same exact readings for multiple shots in a row! i knew it was gonna be an extremely low SD. And the power is an RCH shy of 50 ft-lbf! And she is a dream out in the field; I can carry her around all day no prob! Whipping her out for a quick shot is smooth as well.

That is one of the nicer walnut stocks I've seen on a wildcat. Most of them are pretty plain but that looks to have some nice grain."RhoneRanger"Here's my case for a Wildcat .25 in Walnut....

My mag holders finally came in! Today will be my first full day of hunting all tricked-out w/ my new WC .25 . BTW, these mag holders are made by Matt247365. He is a real craftsman; really top-notch. Not only extremely well-machined, tolerance-wise; but fits into the WC rail hand-in-glove! This really improves my shooting experience. Thanks, Matt!

Spent the day hunting with my mag holders and spare mags. Man, that really simplifies my shooting experience . I also like that the mags can be loaded while they're in the holders; they rotate freely! Thanks again, Matt!

Would you mind giving us a link to Matt. Or is he a member here? I'd like to get a couple of these myself. Better than carrying them in your pocket for sure.

Matt's a member. I don't know if he has a website, but I got mine on eBay. I would post the link, but Michael will remove it; only sponsor links allowed, I guess.

Chairgun doesn't work with non-Hawke scopes. I have a mil-dot reticle. I had to range my WC the old-fashioned way: Dead-on up to 50 yards; one dot hold-over @ 75 yards; 2.5 dot hold-over @ 100 yards. I'm shooting Hunter Extreme .25s. (28.12 gr actual) at 889.3 fps. Anybody else out there have some hold-overs for the WC .25?

Not true, a mildot is a mildot.
Your reticle may look different, but if the markings of it coincide with mildots (wether they look like stripes, bars, dots, circles, X-es or what have you) if you choose a generic mildot reticle in Chairgun, works perfect, Hawke scope or any other make...
One of the least understood concepts is that a Second Focal Plane scope (where the image size of the reticle stays the same, while the magnification of the image changes while zooming in or out) it shows only TRUE mildots on ONE magnification only. (which should be indicated by the manufacturer in the user manual, what specific magn. for your scope is true). You have to insert this into Chairgun, and then chargun can convert these mildot holdovers to other magnifications of your scope, (like your scope is true at 10x, but you want to shoot at 14x due to the distance) but you have to input the correct data to it to get it to calculate the correct holdover for the 14x of the example. (so tell it what magn. is true and tell it also what magnification you want the holdovers calculated for)
If you now change the zoom to another value, you have to let Chairgun recalculate the holdover for THAT specific magnification, as the relation between target size and scope marks changes.
This is the HUGE advantage for FIRST Focal Plane scopes, as the size of the reticle changes together WITH the zooming, there is only ONE single set of holdovers to calculae and they work for ALL magnifications!
But to end with the beginning: Chairgun works flawless with any make of scope, as lng as the scope has reticle marks based on mildots.

That is my reasoning as well. Chairgun worked perfectly on my Impact .30 and RAW .357 when I had Hawke scopes on them. But when I put a Sightron scope on my Wildcat, it shot way high.

...Then the only reasonable explanation is that there must be an input fault, so you might want to check all your settings again...(Mass, BC, muzzle velocity, scope height, sight base, energy , etc etc.etc.)
