What is your most accurate springer scope and pellet combo?

[aviator]

sounds like a rws commercial but its not. d-34 .22,superdomes, sniper scope (counterfit leapers/utg). stack em pretty regular at my 25 yd. backyard range.

Tuned Walther LGU Varmint 20J version, Crosman 14.3 copper plated pellets, Hammers Magnum Springer Air Rifle Scope 3-9X40AO with One Piece Mount. Smooth shooting, accurate and not hold sensitive.

Nice guns everyone!

Thanks

Gamo Accu .177 converted to a gas ram, with Hawke Airmax 4-12x40 and BKL 2 piece mount.  Not pellet picky at all, heavy or light pellets all work - Crosman CPD & CPHP, JSBs, H&N FTTs, all work great

TX200 with UTG DTW145 mount, low rings and 4-16x44 scope shooting H&N FTT 4.52 8.64gr at 12.4 FPE.

My Diana 34 Classic with UTG DNT06 mount, low rings and 3-12x44 scope shooting JSB 10.34gr at 13.9 FPE has equaled the TX in 10 shot groups out to 25 yards. Further out it is the TX all the way, but might be my eyes with the lower magnification scope.

Wow those are some great looking AG's.  I have been looking for a springer that would be accurate without lots of work.  I just can't figure anything out on my Benjamin Trail NP X1 .177 cal, its terrible at hitting anything with any consistency. You guys posted a few I may look into. I watched a video of the new Gamo Swarm Magnum .22cal that was hitting very well at 100 yrds.  Are any of you guys shooting that far with your set-ups.

Thanks Bill C!

Thanks Bill C!

I own the original Gamo Magnum in .22 it is powerful but the recoil is extremely violent!  Its a certified scope killer, & hold sensitive.  Not at all bug hole accurate for me at any distance “ Stay Away!”  On the other hand check out this footage of my entry into Airgun Depot’s Long Ranger exploding golfball challenge.  Using my Air Arms Pro-Sport .177....  I did this twice only caught it on video once though, in 7 shots on a breezy day.

Thats awesome.  What do they run price wise?  Rick gave the magnum a great review on airgun web tv, and talked about some of those issue you mentioned on their other guns. here is the video I saw where the guy is making great shots at 100 yrds. check it out.    If I would get one straight from a seller like he has, I would be ecstatic!

Yessir, seen this video even before you linked it.  I am subscribed to Expert Gun Reviews / Airgun Web TV on YouTube no doubt the gentleman shooting the gun is skilled at shooting magnum springers.  From a owners experience with the previous Gamo Magnum model I do not believe the average person will make 100 yard shots with this multishot Gamo Magnum like the guy in this video is doing.  I say this because all that was changed in this new Magnum gun is a longer barrel with a moderator to make cocking easier and the addition of the multishot capability.  It still will have violent recoil, hold sensitivity, and a heavy trigger.  Not saying this gun cant be accurate but to shoot 100 yards will take a lot of practice.  It’s priced well $299, powerful, has a comfortable stock.  But trust me it doesn’t compare to some of the super refined German & English made spring powered rifles on the market.  It may be a great hunter but doubt it’s a match winner.  Killed four of my good scopes.  Overpowered spring and gas ram rifles are a known challenge to shoot consistently due to strong recoil.

Don’t be taken in, sometimes review videos make a average gun look like an amazing gun.  Just wait until other reviewers get their hands on this gun to see if they all have simular results.

Ps: My first springer was a Gamo back in 2007.

Thanks Joe! I liked the price also.  But I don't want another springer that I can't hit anything with, like my Benj. Will have to keep looking.

Walther LGU with Primary Arms 4-14 x 44 scope with pretty much any pellet I put in it.  Shoots all pellets well but really likes the AA Falcons 7.33 and 8.4 JSB Exacts.

Months ago I  brought my 97 to the range when I was sighting the muzzleloader.   Put 3 shot under a dime at 100yds      The next two went about about  2 inches to the left though lol.

Still I was pretty impressed with that group, just wish I stopped at 3 haha

That's still really good in my book, but was wanting to pay much less for a springer!

Good for that day,  can't say that would be the norm, but I shoot cans alot at 70 yds and that pretty easy with it.

Take a look at krale, much better prices on hw line of guns.   Think it was over $200 less then USA dealers

Bill,
 While it will be tough to get a springer that's consistantly accurate out to 100 yrds, I personally believe you could do much better than that break barrel Swarm repeater for the $300.

I'm with Scott on this. Heck, for 75 bucks, or so, more, you could buy a tuned Diana 98 from FDAR. Don't wet your money away. put some thought into your purchase. Save up a little longer, if you have to. Get yourself something that will last.

[Sfttailrdr46]

For good consistent accuracy for a springer your best bet is a fixed barrel under-lever on a budget the Gamo Accu is a decent choice  if you are willing to invest some personal TLC into a good home tune

The Swarm is a fun plinker but realistically I doubt that it would provide minute of squirrel head accuracy past 35 yards. For you Gamo fans if you look at my list I own 2 Gamo break barrels and enjoy them both

[happymecanic]

Home-tuned Umarex Surge, chinese no-name scope (off of my Browning under-lever), Crosman Premier Match 7.9 gr. wadcutters. Boringly accurate.

I now have a Bushnell 4-12x40 AO trophy xlt on my R9 and it is a deadly combo.
