Well I went to Twin City Rifle Club to sight in my Sam Yang 909S that I just got back from Will Piatt & decided to take along my FX Boss. I used it as a spotting scope while sighting in the 909S. I have a Hawke SW 6-24 on it. Afterwards I wanted to do some shooting with it @ 100 yards. The rifle is stock except I swapped out the factory moderator & installed a Huggett & I have installed an Atlas picatinney rail section to allow me to use a bipod. Today I was shooting with my CTK P3 shooting rest. I was using JSB 44 gr pellets right out of the tin. No sorting, washing or lubing. Temperature was in the 70's with really high humidity. The rifles were sweating terribly & the targets were wet by the time I could put them up. Started off with no wind then it became an intermittent slight breeze. Here is my target. It is a 5 shot group.

The first 4 shots measured out to .386 & that "dang" last shot brought it up to .908. Either way, I was very pleased with the results. Even my other groups, though not as good, would have resulted in dead squirrel, crow, etc. I have to hand it to FX. They do build very accurate rifles. I think I want to see if the Boss likes washed & lubed pellets. Lubed pellets make all the difference in the world with my Steyr that I shoot in FT. Anyway I posted this just because I LOVE MY BOSS !!!!! It is one bad motor scooter!!!! Now to get a CF bottle to take some weight off...

nice group, and good shooting.

Thanks B !! I am looking for that elusive 100 yard 1 hole group. No flyers...
-
LOL it tough to do with wind and all, but on a nice with 1-2mph wind should be able to do it as long as you read each shot ;D

My boss was very accurate as well. Sold it, saving up for a raw.

You might be surprised. The Boss will shoot accurately out farther than that. I have another topic here and I'm shooting at 234 yards. The gun is extremely accurate.

Awesome!! A Boss is on my bucket list. Also looking into one of the barrels for a condor build.

Kevin, that is something that I plan to do in the near future. We have a 200 & 300 yard line at my rifle club. It is amazing that you are hitting targets @ 234 yards!! You are my inspiration !!! " :D

I came across a good deal on fx whisper and I am thinking about jumping on it. Having some difficulty finding info pertaining to this make. Seems as if fx makes some nice guns.

I would like to take credit, but the gun really is a much better shooter than I am. I have a few guns, but the Boss shoots the pellet dead straight, no corkscrew. It must be the smooth twist barrel. I'm hoping to stretch out to 250 yards soon. Supposed to rain this weekend so I might have to wait. There will be a distance when the pellet starts to tumble, I'm trying to find it.
Good luck and let me know how the shooting goes out farther. My groups are about 10" or so at 234 yards in light wind with occasional flyers.
