So your another one of the type who thinks choping down an AA just might work for PFT eh?Scott T and his son did well in th e 2009 (?? it was in KY that year, pretty sure) took 1st in PFT and Junior class I believe using one.had a rail under it so any attachment fir also, they do make pretty cool rigs.Happy shooting,John
QuoteSo, let's see: $4500 vs $725. Hmmmm. Let's think about this.... Really? Gosh, likely just me but almost sounds like ya didnt like me encouraging you to use that CZ/AA in PFT. It's all for fun no matter, personally I like most every airgun I've met.John

Hi DFWdude,I'm MikeSSS, form San Antonio. We have talked at a couple Yegua matches. Your shooting and your CZ s200 so impressed me that I am shamelessly copying you. In the match before the Nationals I was the other guy shooting a red stocked s200. This rifle is factory stock and is shooting at about 10 fpe, 770 fps, with CPLs. The s200 shoots so very well that I'm reluctant to start making changes, its accuracy and very high shot count are a real joy, as is just plain shooting it.At the moment I'm thinking of a AA 400, 410, 500, 510 for HFT. JSB 10.34 gr pellets at 935 fps, 20 fpe would take a lot of guess work out of hold and using 10.34 vs 8.4 gr or CPLs would also reduce wind drift errors. Shooting position will probably be stool and sticks, rather than prone with bipod. OK, what do you think of going in this direction? Any advice, comments, etc. are most welcome.Thanks and best regards,Mike S
I too am a fan of the S200. I adjusted the tension on the hammer spring and adjusted the tp and got it shooting at 714fps/16.4fpe with JSB 8.4 pellets and it's plenty accurate.
Question: does increasing the fpe of the s200 reduce its splendid accuracy? I sure hope not.
Another thing, the s200 can use a magazine, this would reduce my fumbling for pellets and let me focus more on the task of shooting well. I would benchrest, both with and without the magazine, to find out if there is an accuracy tradeoff and if so by how much.
Prone is a problem for me, getting up from a prone position is the biggest problem. I'll stick to sticks and stool (pun intended).
PS, Nov. 10 is a conflict for me, there is an RC sailboat race in Houston. See you at the next Yegua match we both go to.
QuoteGlad you enjoy your S200 as well, Tony. But you might look at your math. You would have to drive 8.4 gr pellets to 940fps to get 16.4fpe. 8.4 grainers at 714fps is actually 9.5fpe.FPE = Weight-in Grains x (velocity x velocity) / 450240Ooops! Bob you are absolutely right. I copied the wrong data. My S200 is shooting the 8.4 JSB pellets at an average of 888fps/14.7fpe.
