Adding "GUN VS MODE" to the target match here?

I was just kidding.  Although I am 95% agree with Ian's previous statement and I don't think at non-Olympic level gun will matter much.  Still, it may be some interesting psychological and ergonomical reasons that you just love and shoot a certain gun better than the other.  Overall, these vs results may convince us that we need (or not need) another new gun.   ;D   For me, I am always interested to read who used what gun to achieve certain score in the result.

At 10m, you might experiment with comparing a quality aperture sight with a scope - I will bet you are surprised at how close the scores are. (My shooting is "not worthy" with either.)   ::)

In the 5 meter offhand matches, I consistently score 145-147 out of 150, one handed open sights with a vintage crosman Mk2 in .177.
It's got a decent barrel, and an excellent trigger, and the sights are good.

And to me, it just FEELS right in the hand.

IN THE 2 handed entry, I use a modified crosman 1740 (a2240 with a 10 inch walther barrel) with a 3moa red dot.
I consistently run 147-148, but did squeeze a perfect 150 score once in the last match.

The 1740 just isn't as comfortable to shoot one handed, and the Mk2 isn't as comfortable to shoot 2 handed.

My score with the Mk2 actually drops a couple of points when I use 2 hands. (Go figure)

I shot a 10 Meter target today with my CZ200(PCP) and came out with a mediocre score.  Then I shot another 10M target with my HW98(springer)just for a comparison.. The results surprised me.... they were exactly the same, even the X count. The score was 1 point higher than I've ever shot with a springer in this match which is surprising because  I'm not a good shot with a springer. A lot of luck and coincidence must have come into play.  I'm going to try another target with the HW to see what happens :D 

Edit.... dropped 3 points on the next target with the 98.

Marty and Ian:  thanks a lot for the reports.  You guys must have good consistency in your gear and score.  In my case, my 880 and 853 have quite difference in weight and trigger (also 880 is less consistent than 853).  And I didn't shoot enough to produce two score sheets for both rifles yet.  :-[

I am waiting for my Challenger to come and will report back (much later due to busy schedule) when I have chance to know the Challenger.  ;)
