   Gamo G Magnum air rifleDiana ZR mount
NS 3-9x40 scope at magnification 7
SigAir Dagger pellets 16.6 grain 1.07 gramme 5.52mm
Distance 30 metres

Wind would not relent this evening but mostly from the front.
Not displeased for this beast, very hard not to flinch and eyes auto close with noise and recoil.
Stock hard against shoulder, and holding front down onto shooting bag so definite workout.
32mm OD, 3 shot group in the middle but could not pick hits when shooting so order of shots is unknown

	I have a Gamo Swarm Magnum G2 22cal. Great rifle. It got me started and I now have my FAL. My favorite pellet for this is the Baracuda Power copper coated 21gr. It does take a bit of effort to cock so best to work out your preferred method. Also its quite a crack so I suggest earmuffs and a suitable scope.

	Gamo G Magnum air rifle Diana ZR mount NS 3-9x40 scope at magnification 9 SigAir Dagger pellets 16.6 grain 1.07 gramme 5.52mm Distance 50 metres Breeze from right to left and appear to have over compensated. Group opening out so not much point increasing distance. May try with Tasco AO scope and different pellets before closing out this post. 47mm OD. POA was the right hand Number 6. I believe the inconsistent height error is barrel jumping up.

	I could not let it go, I tried all sorts of pellets but as wind increased I pulled back to 30 metres and fitted an AO scope, all power to the non AO users and techniques to avoid parallax issues.
