I’ve been mostly focused on higher power .25 & .30 long range shooting lately. I wanted to get some .22s out and plink shorter range for a change. I decided to get my old .22 Falcon FN19 out to play. This gun is non-regulated and fairly basic. It has a really good 2-stage trigger. She’s always been lights-out in the accuracy department. Set to shoot the 15.9 JSBs at 860 fps.
I put the .22 Vulcan gen 4, I recently acquired, up against her. This pup is also accurate, smooth forward side-lever, great 2-stage trigger, regulated and gets a ton of shots on a fill. Set to shoot the 15.9 JSBs at 905 fps.
The young Vulcan was up first. The game was 5 consecutive 5-shot groups from 40 yards. Smallest average for all 5 groups wins. Vulcan did great and I thought that the Falcon may have bitten off more than she could chew. The Vulcan average was 0.37” ctc.
I was wrong! She yawned and then commenced to putting the smack-down on the cute little Vulcan pup. She didn’t take kindly to being put away in that dark case for so long. She laid ‘em down with sweet precision. Don’t underestimate classic craftsmanship. Falcon averaged 0.34” ctc.
It was fun! I think I’ll make these duels
a regular thing. Here’s some pictures.
P.S. The Vulcan said he pulled one to make it more interesting
