Ok, so I got one too… 🙈
Mine didnt even come in a box, they just took it off the shelf, took the price tag off it and handed it to me (I think I heard someone mumbling “good luck” as I took it…?) 😳 Will also give it a 5 shot group tomorrow before a througha cleaning, then another 5 shot group before we start dissecting things. I’m going to be doing all my testing at 10m, because that’s an international standard for target air rifles, and also because that’s how far I can shoot in my garden (if I’m sitting in the dinning room 😂). Billbob, that’s a horrendous group!!! 🙈 but if you look on the bright side, it can only get better from here on 👍🏻 Shoot a group at 10m so we can all compare apples with apples. This whole excercise should be fun, I’m looking forward to it. Pauly, you got one yet? |

Walk quietly, but carry a big stick.

I was hoping for a finely engineered American made trigger, oh dear.
I will enjoy taking it along to club shoot. Now, who will fit the biggest scope? I hope someone from GC will be reading this. Perhaps we should avoid holding a hot cuppa when reading these posts over the coming weeks. Onwards....

Pleased it's not after tuning it too I bet. I'm not expecting much better at first.

That's a shocking group billbob.
Hopeful it tightens up after a clean. Maybe if its a target rifle,10m is its best range. |

Air chief target 177 pellets are 8.18gr
No sure if actual head size just has 4.5mm. Made by h&n. Im guessing that's a good starting point for the size and weight pellets they would recommend. Me I'm not going to buy lots of pellets to find best. Hopefully it likes sig. My 177 collection sux. |

Bit I hope. If it's blowing smoke it's probly dieseling from oil to protect the barrel. Most likely the most powerful shots it will ever do lol.
Shame on you billbob treating a target rifle like that. With all the work air chief put into the presion machined parts, you've probly put something out of whack that will stop it being so accurate. Snigger snigger |
