Getting to know her

[glassman98]

This is my new RX2 .22 cal. I got it a month ago, but have not been able to shoot it much because it kept breaking
the Trophy scope that came with it. I fixed that by putting a Hawke Varmite 4-16x44 SF on it. This gun is a canon.
I have found it's sweet spot, and what she likes to be fed. FTS double Gold. So far I have shot 1" groups @ 50 yds.
I know this will close up with more time with her. The workmanship on it is great in all area's. Here is a pic of her on
the new shooting bench and rest I made this week.  glassman98

Nice rifle, I like the power of that rifle but won't buy one due to the weight of them.

I like that stock. Very pretty and great idea using the jack for the shooting rest. Should be very fine tunable for elevation.

Mark,
Yes,that they are, but does help with the recoil. This gun is really coming around. Working with the mil dot
to see what I need to do at 80 yds.Had to stop due to wind.With double gold fts, they were going thru
the 1x6 redwood I had my target on. What a canon. glassman

what kinda #'s are you getting with the pellet you are using?

Mark,
I don't have the equipment to check FPS on the gun. glassman98

[Mark 611]

what is your zero and with what pellet weight?

[glassman98]

what is your zero and with what pellet weight?

Mark,
Zero now is 20 yd's.Yesterday was 15 yd's. Just trying different things. Today I noticed the adj. knobs are moving with each shot. Is this normal on a heavy recoil gun?? If it is, how do you keep it form moving?? Pellet is Beeman double gold @ 14.66.  glassman98

doesn't scope have locks on the knobs?

[glassman98]

doesn't scope have locks on the knobs?

No. Just 2 screws to adj. ring back to a zero mark.

[Mark 611]

you may have to change scopes with one that has locking turrets due to the recoil of that gun if it won't hold zero! I've had guns that have done the same thing with less recoil than that rifle, so you might want try something stronger in a scope before go much further with this rifle or your just gonna drive yourself nuts with the scope you have.

It only a week old. It is rated for Heavy Recoil by St.Shooters. Thats why I got it. I have been fighting
scoping this gun since I bought it. Going on 2 months now. Thanks for the help Mark.

You say it has screws to reset zero? Dumb ? I know... but my leapers do the same thing.... they also tighten down the knobs to keep them from moving..... Have you tried to snug them down?

Gave it a try. Still moved. I have sent the scope back to Hawke to check it out. The turret adj. feels
soft on the detents. Not a positive sharp click. glassman98
