Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Air Guns 22 Cal Rifle, Spring or Gas Piston Magnum.

The new air rifle arrived today. Got it set up, swabbed the bore dry, and put maybe 80-100 pellets through it.

Looks and feels like a quality gun. A couple negatives though.

- The high comb is perfect for the scope, but too high for the irons. I did shoot a couple dozen with the irons, but it was awkward. Not a big deal, I plan on using a scope anyways, and that high comb was one reason I chose this one.

- The trigger. It's pretty heavy. Maybe it will ease up after some use. Take-up is adjustable, but not the break.

So I'm a novice at springers, but I got a reasonable group at 12 yards. Went out to 20 yards and it really fell apart, 2+ inches. I don't know if it's my technique, or too heavy a pellet. I chrono'd the 18.1gr JSB at 690 fps. Chrono'd five, they were all between 688, and 692 fps. Maybe I need to try something it the 14gr range.
