Bit of help if anybody can... I'm toying with the idea of shooting a bit of FT in the near future as well as pest control using my hw100 .177 now I was looking at the MTC VIPER PRO 5-30X50...would that scope be good enough to range the difference say between 50yds and say 53yd if it was set on 30mag? or is it OK with 5yard Increments..... Cheers
-
I have zeroed the bsa at 30yds with the mtc viper connect on 10x mag, 34yds is 1mildot holdover and 39yds is 2mildot holdover or as close as can be, I wouldnt take a shot past 40yds as I hav,nt done any testing further than that, and 25yds is 1mildot hold under, now because of the loopy trajectory I try my hardest to get the quarry to the exact distance as my aim points... Rather than guessing aim points between those specific ranges... If that makes sense
-
Take my hat off to you pal, that taken time and patience, I have a bsa r10se in .25cal sub 12, and anything over 26gr in pellet weight and they spread like a shotgun even over 19yds which I have in the garden so I stick to AA FIELD, seems to like them runs about 11.6ft/lbs with them.. Not done a downrange chrony reading which I should try.

Honestly I could,nt say... But it makes me feel better

Couple of nice meals there mate... Top shooting

Haha, cheers pal, £15 made from a guy called Stuart dauby I think his name is, off, got his name off FARCYBOOK off a air gunners UK.. Ordered it and it was on the doorstep in two-days.... The r10se in the pic is .25cal sub 12 so not really ideal for hft so it's the rangefinder for every shot the trajectory is a bummer... Haha..

Mrs wanted to catch up with her soaps so I was off haha... Just the one again missed two 40yarders bloody .25 cal hehe but ended up lying in wait 30yds from the hedge line and these bloody weird sheep came toddling past, they just looked at me in Disgust as if to say WTF haha...

Primo trigger sticks
Phill-W68 replied to Phill-W68's topic in Rifle Reviews, Technical Help and Tips
I took the rubber foot off the outer leg yesterday to have a look but the inner leg is only an Inch or two smaller than the outer so I couldnt do it anyway.... I'm only 5'6" so I'm only likkle... ?... -
Looks like you've got your dinner aswell.. ☺

I was thinking something like that.. But it would mean taking the primos and homemade sticks out everytime.... I suppose if the inner legs on the primos are the same length as the outer legs then it would be pointless anyway because I would,nt gain anything, I,ll take a look later after work... -
I own a set of these, good quality and so far reliable.. But... if I decide to sit against a tree or fence post etc and use the sticks there still too high even with the legs spread wide apart, do you think it would be possible to cut say 4" off the outer leg so they sit lower for when I'm sitting or would that bugger up the adjustability of the extending legs....
-
Well I ended up getting the optic-fire XC50 with the 940nm pill.. WOW what a difference that makes to be able to see past 50yds clearly, but it does add weight to the gun coz it's a hefty torch, not tried it on the hw100 yet as it's in for a service and reg rebuild, that's gonna be a heavy set-up, still not thought of a way to attach the torch to the swivel mount on the primos sticks yet, save a bit of weight on the gun.....
-
You guys miss nothing on here haha, yes mate, I ripped the arse out of them so rendered useless, so put them to good use haha, breaks up the outline a bit...
-
Haha, at some points my shoulders were shaking like I was cold, but a quick slow moving stretch sorted them out....
-
Maybe something like modelling clay would be good but carrying a 5-10 kilo pack to your perm isn't so good haha
-
I don't know why but I was shocked to see the pellet had gone straight through, it jumped in the air kicked it's back legs about 3 times then lay to rest ☺,, it was only afterwards when I picked it up that I noticed the pellet had cleanly gone through...
-
As we all know when down to shooting, safety and a safe backstop is always first rule then it's accuracy 2nd..but does anyone on here who shoots sub 12ft lbs ever do any penetration tests with different pellet types and if so what do you use for the target? Ive often wondered what would be the best thing to use...
-
Yes mate, trajectory is scary even from 40yds to say 42-43 is a big drop and nearly an xtra mil-dot hold-over.. I've only shot it past fourty yds a couple of times at paper it's good but I would,nt attempt past 40yds with vermin with it,only took that shot last night at 40 due to no wind and I was lying prone... I always use a rangefinder aswell, I wouldn't chance guessing the yardage with the .25.
-
Sent the hw100 in last week for a service as it was spitting pellets out through the chrony all over the place, even after cleaning the barrel, mags, loading port etc, he said two weeks so maybe next week I,ll get her back, so been using the bsa r10se .25 bit of a loopy trajectory but aim points are sorted.....
-
Decided to give the perm a couple of hours last night before it got dark, seen three or four but ranged them at over 60yds, so they were safe.... For now... Managed this little unlucky one at 40yds with the R10se .25 with AA field pellets... Pic of my spot for the evening, 3 hours on your belly is not the comfiest position... But I was surprised that at 40yds with a sub 12ft/lb .25 the pellet went straight through....
-
Next time I'm in the field I,ll give it a whirl at 35-40yds see how it goes...
-
Decided to have a pop at this with bsa .25 cal sub 12ft/lb AA FIELD 19yds, couple of wonky shots on my behalf but I'm happy...
