Title: Shot .3" CTC 5-shot group @45 yards w Beeman RX-2
Post by: PaulFWI on August 23, 2014, 10:15:04 PM
I just had to post this.  Shot this paper today.  (Note: says "40Y" on top but I measured and it's 45.)

What was curious was that I shot the .3" group, then I moved my Hawke Sidewinder 4-16x50 from 8x to 16x and shot the group in the upper-left - much worse! 

I then returned to 8x and shot the (more typical) 7/8" group in the upper-right.

BTW the gun is in .20 and the ammo was JSB Exacts.  I've only tested three types of pellets so far (gun has maybe 100 shots thru it) but it likes these best.  It shoots them 860 fps.

So far I'm shooting the "hard-to-shoot" springer (gasser) a bit better than my Condor SS in general (though the Condor is also very accurate).  It is nice though not to have the gun jump when you shoot. 

Also when I pick up the Beeman after the Condor I feel like I've just hoisted the main gun from an M1 Abrams.

So it's tough to pick a favorite.

I don't know about the RS-2.  I have an RX-2, which is made by Weihrauch and is about as high-quality as airguns get.  (I don't have experience with the $2K+ crowd.)
