Found an R7

Nice group for a first timer. Pretty soon you will be buying "pink" AG's.

Not sure about that yet, she really likes camo and dark colors, LOL!

Wanted to give everyone an update on the Precious R7 (Mark gave her this name, LOL).
The little rifle is breaking in nice and slow. Easy does it is the motto here but the little monster has picked up some velocity and is now in the 8+fpe range. Shooting well into the 700's.
The accuracy is no joke, she can group every pellet brand we put through her and she smacks the targets with extreme prejudice.
Here's some ten shot groups at 20 yards with five different pellets.
Nasty little thing!

One more thing, here's a FT squirrel that my wife and I shot with the R7. This is with the smallest kill zone disc attached (3/8"). This is what the squirrel looked like after 120 shots. Notice how not a single pellet hit the squirrel on the body.
I managed to hit the squirrel 10 shots in a row before missing and then another 9 in a row before missing again.
My wife never shot this gun and she stepped right up and dropped the squirrel 3 times in a row and then quit because it was too easy.

I knew I should have saved my pennies for that R7.  Darn you, Nikoman!

It's never too late, Bryan!

MY PRECIOUS!!! 

Now that is how an R7 is supposed to shoot.  Not pellet-fussy in the slightest and a consistent POI.  Any real squirrel out there better watch out.  Anybody in your family who takes aim at his furry hide is going to nail him. 

I keep mentioning how that R7 would like to stretch its legs out to 50 yards at my place.  But noooo, I think the "Precious" has Nikoman bent to its will.

I also have a matching pigeon, rabbit, ram, chicken, pig and turkey.

I need one of those squirrels!  Nice shooting!

Here's my R7 target.   

(edited 1/9/17 to remove broken links)

It was too easy hitting the spinners so I drilled holes in them.  The small holes are 3/16" (.187) and the large holes are 15/64" (.234). 

The .177 R7 has no trouble with the 15/64" holes out to about 10 yards and the 3/16" holes are a challenge even at 5 yards.  A good shot will barely move it.  A great shot looks like a miss--no movement. 

The R7 is a blast because even in a small space you can enjoy the accuracy and push yourself.   BTW, the 3/16" holes hold a plastic cap gun cap perfectly so a great shot makes a nice bang with no movement. 

And mine shoots even better since I dressed her up.  Or maybe it's just that I pay more attention to her

Wow nice stuff, Jerry!!
The squirrel FT is really nice, especially since you don't have to get up to reset it
I put mine out 20 yards with the 3/8" sized kill zone disc on it. They come with multiple sized discs to set the kill zones. I have a few of these and it's really fun to set them out to 50 yards. You'd be amazed with how these little guns can do some damage way out there.
These FT's seem to be out of stock at most places, I've been wanting to pick up more of these so I can have several set up at once since pulling the string can get very tedious for me at times

Thanks Niko!  It's amazing how fun these little rifles are.  It sounds like yours was an especially good find.  I'm glad it worked out that way for you.  It sounds like you need some smaller kill zones for your targets --  1/4" or 3/16"?
