LOL, it's gotta be about 85 here

... it's really not that hard to shoot tight groups with this gun.

oldpro · « **Reply #124 on:** December 15, 2015, 09:21:49 PM »

I have shot 4 in a row in the same exact hole .300 twice I haven't made it to 5 yet and might never lol but I will keep trying. My goal is 1 mag 7 shots in the same hole, highly unlikely for me but have to set the bar high. I think one of the Flex owners has done it, I'll check threw my emails.

Wow, that's quiet! Manny, how many fps were those tight groups fired at?

oldpro · « **Reply #126 on:** December 15, 2015, 09:50:34 PM »

I send them all out at 900fps with 44.75 JSB. He hasnt touched it yet. But there is A LOT left in the tank. Once I get my heavy .308 lead Ill post some results. Im sending my .65 grain supersonic right now so Im waiting on some heavys to show up. 85 sounds nice right now Manny but the ski slope opens on thursday so Ill get some moutain surfing in. Here some owners are playing with tunes. http://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php?topic=101370.0

Excellent shooting Manny. It's nice when the rifle makes those groups easy.

Oldpro- 'Im sending my .65 grain supersonic right now'

Yikes-stripes! I guess there sure is a lot more under the hood!
Is that a stock Flex turned up to ludicrous speed or did you tinker with one of your rifles?

oldpro · « **Reply #129 on:** December 15, 2015, 11:25:44 PM »

Just more valving everything else is stock. Your valve like every Flex Rifle is modular so we can up your potential energy also.

Travis,

Wanna try some 115's FPs and a few 148 gr HP's? Would be interesting to see what your 308 could do with them?

oldpro · « **Reply #131 on:** December 15, 2015, 11:44:24 PM »

If you have some please send them.

Nomadic Pirate · « **Reply #132 on:** December 16, 2015, 02:28:50 PM »

Wow, those tunes looking real good, definitely showing the potention and flexability of the gun.

Can't wait to see what the .308 does.

Gr8Gorilla · « **Reply #133 on:** December 16, 2015, 09:59:04 PM »

Manny, those groups look great. I bet those would be sub MOA @ 100 yds. I can't wait to get to a range or out to the woods to shoot farther.

My neighboring state, Alabama, made white tail and hogs legal with .30 & larger air rifles. The state line is less than 2 hours away. Now, I just don't know about a head shot on a deer. I suppose at under 50 yds a .30 70-75 grain would still be carrying over 100 FPE at the target. My guess is that barring a Double shoulder hit, a heart/lung would be total pass thru. They say 45 ft/lbs is enough for white tails with a bow. I know they have a bigger wound channel and do lots of damage but I think the .30 can still do the job. Thoughts?

Hey
When I see waves like that I say, &^^& I hate water landings with this T-10.

LOL like swimming in a spider web LOL

Old timer thinks with past deer we always want a placed shot. But not always the case in a big bore PB. But the key to any kill is the placed shot.
I say the .30 and the 9MM placed at 40+ will take a deer down. Even a though shot on the vital areas the deer will go down. Just think of a black power gun?
Might have to do the real deal and give some time to go look. But I am betting you will have meat on the table.
More dear killed with a .22 PB than an other caliber to date.
Placed shot.

Very true many deer are shot with .22 especially when wild life contract hunters are culling deer in areas where the deer population is out of control

Yep, that should be sub MOA ctc at 100 yards in good conditions. Well done.

Gr8Gorilla, get close and go for the headshot. Drop it where it stands and spare yourself a hike.
