those last groups look really good some guns just don't like lubed bullets and some you have to "condition" the barrel if you will with the lubed bullets before they start shooting nicely, sometime just changing lubes will throw things off.was the first attempt with the new bullets un-lubed?
So, tom Gaylord started his review of the bulldog tomorrow on PA's blog.Let's see how the sponsored range shooting reviewer compares it to the Real world hunting reviewer..This should be good...

By the time Tom actually gets round to shooting it it will be July. Manny will have 3 more reviews running and the two new FX rifles will be in someones greedy little hands:)With all due respect to Tom, he needs a wake up to the information age. It's not like print media of yore where you can do monthly installments and people will wait. Particularly with forums where info gets posted daily.

I understand that he might want to break them up, so that he has material for each day, but come on. Yeah the 880 thing made me a little more suspect of his reviews. The PA model fails and the factory one works as advertised. How many did they test before they mailed him that ringer?

If you break your review up into a million parts you get a million repeat visitors.The 50 buck airgun that needs factory prep. I'm gonna send my 880 off to Holland & Holland
Oh, he post daily (Monday-Friday) But it will be a month before he gets around to posting the info it took him 2 days to collect.I just find it entertaining, that professional reviewers, (they have them in the firearm, airsoft and airgun world) get a new rifle, put a few rounds through it, and then review it like they have owned it for years..Tom knows a lot of stuff, and he gives some good information at times, sometimes not...He tries a few different pellets, shows a few groups, then sends you on your way. But not a lot of depth to the article (unless it's about a springer from 1948 or something..) He has a big enough name, that most of the guns he gets are probably prepped, and ready for him.Except the Daisy 880 review he did a while back, it was an off the shelf, end user gun. It failed miserably.He was sent a gun from Daisy, it performed as advertised in their literature. But it was a prepped gun, from the factory, knowingly sent to him for the express purpose of reviewing.That lost a lot of credibility in my opinion. (Both for him and Daisy)It SHOULD BE that you get a off the rack gun, review it in its stock form, give the report good and bad, let the chips fall where the manufacturer came up short...Manny will give it a honest REAL WORLD report. I am just waiting to see how the "pro" rates it compared to how real people rate it...
