Grackleblaster and myself, mr007s, had a chance today to shoot at 100 yards for the NUHC. I am posting our results here.You will find the required info concerning the gun type, pellets, scope, etc. written on the photos.
GB was using a gun he just recently received so we shot several rounds to verify the scope was adjusted correctly.
Beautiful warm day, light wind, and loads of fun.
The scale used to measure is a machinist scale graduated in .100". It may be a bit hard to read but the graduations are visible. The GB target CTC measured 1.45". The mr007s target measured 1.400" CTC. We witnessed for each other.
Now for the pics. Several range pics are shown both from the bench to the target (100 yards lasered) and from target to bench plus a pic from the 125 yard target. See below

The following is "CLIMAX", my .22 Mutant Standard that was prepped and bought from Georgia Airguns. The MTC Connect was purchased from Trennier and it is SWEET

I believe we both ascend to the rank of SHARPSHOOTER but will let the forum verify our thoughts.
Thanks for looking and we plan to continue to get better.
I do believe the reason I edged out GB is that I have stayed in a Holiday Inn Express and he hasn't. He drives one of those big brown trucks that run up and down the road so he has probably delivered to one but not actually stayed in one. That's my story and I am sticking to it.

I know you guys had a lot of fun with that little "shootout".
How did that Connect work with glasses. I have been wanting one of those, but have been concerned with the short eye relief.

The eyepiece has a small amount of adjustment that needs to be set for the users eye. The scope also comes with an eyecup which I tried but didnt work with my glasses. My glasses are bifocals and if I make sure they are clean and not all smudged up from neglect they are not a problem. The connect has a nice clear wide view and the fine reticle works well with it. I tilt my head over to touch the breech on the Mutant and touch my glasses to the eyepiece. I liken it to having another anchor point connecting to the gun. Feels natural to me so much that I find myself trying doing the same on my other shooters. Some folks are not a fan of the mounting system but mine is extremely secured with Burris Signature Zee Rings and I believe it makes "CLIMAX" look sexy.
Buying something new without test driving it first is chancy. I debated whether the Connect would work for me but took a chance. Very happy that I called Jeff at Trennier. 12x power is power enough for me, the wide field of view thru very clear glass, the compact body and light weight, all add up to a very pleased user.

Good shooting guys. Everything looks in order and I added both of you to the list as Sharpshooters. Congratulations and welcome to the club.
Tell Grackleblaster to try some of these https://nielsenspecialtyammo.com/collections/25-cal/products/25-caliber-sized-250-34-grain-2s-hp-hb-100-count in his HM1000x. They really work well in mine, better than the 33.95 pellets. Tightened my groups right up ;)

Thanks for the info on the ammo Marty. I've got an order on the way. I'll see if I can shrink my groups!
