Jking,
Shot a few 3 shot groups tonight with benjamin domes. Theses were shot resting the gun on my couch cushion laying on the ground no rear rest. I could watch my cross hairs moving around so have no doubt this gun shoots better then this target shows. This was at 25 yards and as you can see these were all shot in a row and I did not just pick the good groups or cutout flyers.

So tonight I had to take my gun out for a quick long range test. Not a great test but I have a 8 inch steel plate that I setup at 127 yards.
I used chairgun to dial in my drop and was in the sitting position unsupported and focused my scope slowly pulled the trigger and thwack! Hit the plate 5 out of 5 times. Looking at the pellet strikes it looked like about a 3 to 4 inch group but couldn't tell for sure. Needless to say I was very happy with the results.
This is a hunting rifle so I am not looking at benchrest accuracy but rather field accuracy in the real world! So far this gun shoots very well in all positions I have shot it from.

So I got my bipod on my rifle today so I could test the rifles accuracy a little better then resting it on a couch cushion like I did before. Here are a few groups at 50 yards. They are typical groups not the best the rifle will do just average.
There was a bit of shifting wind so I will have to do some more testing when its calm.
I was shooting my steel plate so you should just see the pellet strikes. The first photo was my very first group and I was aiming for the hole on the right. As you can see i was not completely zeroed. 2nd photo is dead center of my plate after ajusting my scope from the first group
Shot 5 ground squirrels today from 20 yards out to 57yards. This is a hunting machine!

Nice indeed. Who did you buy yours from? I smack sparrows with my Cricket out of a 70 and 80 yard tree off of a shooting bench. What a pop! If the wind isn't blowing the 70 yard'r is almost a given. A little over kill but for sure a blast😉

I got mine from rlairgunsupply.com Randy was super helpful and really took care of me. They are the only place with the black stocks I really love shooting this rifle! I forget its an air rifle with over 60 shots per fill and with my scope set so low i start off at point black zero 1.5 inchs low then at 30yards I am 1 inch high then drop back to my zero at 50 yards. So out to 50 I basically hold dead on for body shots.
