Congratulations!

You're killing me here. That's the gun and stock I'm focused on getting, at least in my dreams. I hope you post up some strings of what it can do along with some 50 yard groups.

I don't do strings anymore– I don't really have the time. (Hey, if it's accurate, I know standard deviation must be low!)

Also until my Nomad II arrives I am pumping this thing– and let me tell you that getting it up to 250 BAR is a bit of a chore.

I will post groups, though.

(Unless they not so good...)

I do have to say that, quality wise and aesthetically, it seems to be the best gun I've had.

It is amazingly light, and the balance is amazing as well. The stock is absolutely gorgeous, the fit of everything perfect, and the action butter smooth.

If it shoots like others say it does, I will be quite happy. Of course this thing is ridiculously expensive.

All you have to do is put the chrono in front when doing the groups. If the groups aren't good, that's the part I'm most interested in. I held and shot one twice at this years Fun shoot. I was hooked right then, and it was the green laminate.

Good luck. My Crown went back for replacement on Wednesday.

Would not group any pellet at any velocity...

So I went to zero would today and there is not enough elevation adjustment on the scope, with the mount that AOA sold me with the gun. I'm a good 1.5" low.

I've never had this happen with the PCP before - I've never needed any kind of shim or adjustable mount.

What would people recommended?

A business card or a piece of soda can under the mount. Make it with the turret adjustment knob centered and the elevation very close to your desired sight distance.

That doesn't sound very stable. Wouldn't compression of the material over time move the zero?

Prouzy · « **Reply #14 on:** October 18, 2018, 05:01:38 PM »

What was your zero distance? How much scope elevation adjust do you have and what level zoom? And if course another reason is velocity, where are you at fps?

PaulFWI · « **Reply #15 on:** October 18, 2018, 05:05:25 PM »

I don't know the amount of scope adjustment - it's a Hawke Sidewinder 8-32x56.

I was trying to zero .4" low at 10Y to be on at 50Y per the trajectory chart.

It is a plain fact that I ran out of adjustment. What I'm asking for his recommendations on either a shim or adjustable mount. Thanks.

Zero at 50 yards

Zero at 50 yards

EDIT: maybe you are right - Maybe the mount is high enough that the trajectory chart is off. I will give it a try at 50 yards. (It's been very windy here.)

PaulFWI · « **Reply #18 on:** October 18, 2018, 07:04:12 PM »

No dice - Best I can do is almost 3 inches low at 50 yards.

AOA told me to try flipping the mount pieces front to back. Didn't do the trick.

I also made sure that the scope wasn't labeled wrong with up-and-down reversed. It's not.

I'll have to either shim or go to an adjustable mount.

Of course you would use hard stock or thin metal. It's not uncommon to have to shim. There are adjustable mounts available as well.
