Could be, but it's a pretty big slug.
Not knowing how much air its dumping it is possible, I guess. Just sort of thing people would do and not bother with the all the hassel of offials being there. After j-s mentioned his 100 yard with a low powered rifle I got out with the 1322 this morning and had a crack at 80m. |

2000 yards with an airgun - wow. I know what my eyes saw, but my old brain says it’s a fake.

Yeah when I saw the power of what you were shooting I thought should probly streach it out a further.
6 fpe is more like 1322 and that would take considerably more skill than sig. Be like lobbing a shell. So might do a milk bottle cap at 100m. And still won't consider that as skillful as the 100y shot you did. |

Yes I’ve had a few over the years, I’ll try and always have a 300s in the collection. I’m a big fan of old target guns.
I do use them scoped though - usually stretching them out to 25yards for indoor paper target. The sig should do well out at 100yards, I read they are a very accurate gun. |

That's an awsome rifle.
Hundred yards on post with that sort of power and sight system is a good reason to feel elated. 6 point adjustable trigger! Do you still have it j-s? Heres a short video for any one interested https://youtu.be/CR53zFhxeZw?si=SXQgFnuoaD-bImz5 |

Hmm 91 meters I'm going to give that go with the sig, in a couple days when scopes are set up.
Total beast of a rifle. Pcps are definitely a fantastic concept. I've been looking for a springer distance. Found this https://youtu.be/6QaCvOgRIjY?si=CIXywO-ntsSxvf7V Which would a great challange for us springer shooters. I'm off to look up Feinwerkbau 300s, which is totally new to me and sounds interesting. |

very cool! Ands a beast of an air rifle. I felt it an achievement to hit a post at 100yards with the old Feinwerkbau 300s, it would be a cool feeling to hit at 2000yards!
