I think Claudio was using the same gun that he reviewed a while back https://youtu.be/chpGw9oFWIo

He has more money than many people in the sport. Khales, Shmidt and Bender, H&Hen custom pellet molds. All the things I drool over. Yummm. Definitely put in the work to get that win. Brocock Bantam Sniper HR is a really bang for your buck rifle too! I wonder if he put a high end scope on a medium priced rifle. Very funny to see the scope cost more than the rifle if thats the case.
I'm going to have to learn spanish to see how he did it lol!

Hmm I shoot iron sights on my powder burner 308 and still get 1.5 inch groups at 100 yards. Sure I could I could do better with a scope but you would still be dead so...... My point is if you can see the target clearly and know your rifle, you can still do amazing things. The only issues I have with a cheap scope is if they don't maintain zero. Claudio probably put 10x times more effort setting up his rifle and ammo than he did his scope. It was the rifle and shooter who on the competition not the scope.

Robert (owner of AoA) told me that the Bantam Sniper HR with JSB 25.39 re-designed is a very accurate combination. Judging from how it performed in Claudio's hands, looks like Robert was right on about that.
Would be great to know (for those of us with the SniperHR .22) what Huma reg pressure Claudio set his Sniper to - and what hammer tension setting. The rifle's performance is quite easily tuned (Huma reg pressure and hammer spring tension combinations). (In Claudio's review video, his Huma reg is set to 120 bar.)
Right now AoA is setting up the Sniper HR rifles at Huma 150 bar and hammer spring tension screw about .065" in from the rear of the receiver.

Question (since I'm not familiar with the Bantam Sniper): what barrel (make and type) is on that gun? Are these LW barrels? Polygon? Just curious.

Unfortunately, I couldn't understand anything he said in this review, however, it was interesting to see his trigger pull technique - one that I would not have expected! And interesting to note that he has his Huma reg set at 120 bar.

In his review he says that it is pushing the jsb 25,4 at 955 fps but it has been tune by him and his friend ..

Wow, those are Red Wolf .22HP numbers!
Did he say anything in the review about his tune settings? TO push the 25.4 at 955, his hammer spring tension must be quite high and, I would imagine, the Huma reg set at 160 bar - or more?

In the video at 1:52 it shows the reg pressure looks like around 120 or so, and yeah that's a hammer!

Clearly, the guns don't win these competitions! It is funny though, how riled up everyone gets about it!

I don't think that anyone here is stupid enough to think that all it takes to win a competition is to shoot a particular gun. Really.
It takes a great shooter, with a lot of effort & experience, good luck, AND a great gun to win a competition.
Aside from that, a lot of pellet rifle shooters (including many who have no intention of competing) are interested in guns and like to learn about some of the guns that other people shoot and succeed with! Imagine that! Funny, I know.
. Now tell me, stoti, have you no interest, nor appreciation for, some of the guns that people are shooting these days? If that's so, I'd say you are the rare bird among us.

Would you say its 70% the gun and 30% the shooter? Or maybe 50/50? And I'd say luck has a massive factor too.

I wouldn't bother trying to guestimate the percentages. And luck sure does play a role. But often in life, we 'make' our luck by the actions we take and the choices we make.
But I do know that a gun which isn't consistently very accurate and highly reliable is not going to allow a skilled shooter to excel in competition. So, yes, the equipment (rifle, pellets, scope, etc.) definitely contributes to the end result.
And yes, there are many accurate and reliable air rifles on the market - but they all differ in terms of manufacturer support, ergonomics, ease of operation, functional design, and a myriad of other, smaller design elements - all of which contribute to the rifle being selected and preferred by a competitor . And some of it is down to shooter comfort factor. But no doubt, the gun itself plays a very significant role in a shooter's success in competition - and that's why a lot of observers are interested in what rifles people are competing and winning with. And I doubt that ANY one of us here is dumb enough to think that winning in competition is simply a matter of what rifle you select to shoot.... sheesh!
