Looking pretty good to me, it's been a laser beam from the beginning.  1" 10 shot @50 yds bench rest are run of the mill, and printed enough 5 shot 1/2" and 3/8" at the 50 it's not luck. Couldn't be happier with this one.

Yep that's decent shooting, you might try a different pellet to see if your groups tighten up? good numbers as well, have you made any trigger adjustments?

That's friggin awesome! I don't know how you can tighten the groups more than 3/8" @ 50 yards.
I'm very happy for you.

[Bill_in_TR]

Great shooting. That kind of 50 yard groups is a testament to the shooter as well as the rifle.

[Cslinger]

Yep that's decent shooting, you might try a different pellet to see if your groups tighten up? good numbers as well, have you made any trigger adjustments?

DECENT?? DECENT???   I could’t shoot that well with a spring gun at 50 yards if I sacrificed a virgin to a volcano and made a pack with a dark god.

Chris,

You don't know any virgins so you better start talking to that dark god.

[Arch_E]

Awesome shooting with an awesome gun!

Congrats,

You know the more I think about it I really only need different equipment to shoot spring guns at 50 yards…….a golf cart to drive me and my gear 20-25 yards.

[SeanGabrell]

That’s a 12fpe rifle, new out of the box, Krale?

That’s a 12fpe rifle, new out of the box, Krale?

Yes.  No tinkering or mods, just mounted scope.

[Oldgringo]

I've had my 97k several years and she is my most accurate rifle.  She has the OEM spring that was fitted with a top hat and custom guide by Motorhead.  Her favorite pellet is the 7.87 gr. AA Falcon and she shot them at 885 fps when she was last chronied.

She is heavy and doesn't get shot as much as do her 30 and 50S sisters due to her weight.

[Yogi]

FWIW-My HW 50's shot the JSB 8.44 about the same speed.  Your gun should be faster!  It has a longer stroke.

Happy 4th!

[Mrblonde40]

Those are about the same numbers as my HW95.  Same average fps, you've got a tighter ES though.

That’s some great shooting. I tried a 12fp kit in mine and didn’t like the feel.
