hello ryesway, i shoot the same combo as you are but i have a reflex t8 mod instead, i zero mine an inch high at a 100 yards and dont need to worry about holding over anything out to about 250 yards. grouping wise i get 3/4 groups at a 100 yards and 2 and a 1/2 inch groups at 250 yards .not the best groups i know but i,m just an average shot who knows his limit and am confident of clean kills at these ranges on charlie . these guns are capable of pinpoint accuracy ,but at the end of the day they are only as good as the person is who is using them all the best , hope this helps regards NUTSHOT

Whats up with the wildcat's sprags....the PES has its expansion chamber on the rifles actual barrel doesn't it?

[Guest baldie]

Several wildcats have apparently blown up/apart.Thats enough for me. Go with a pes, t4, t8, or a-tec. All three are "reflex" mods, which mean they sleeve back over the barrel, but there is an internal tube, between the gas and the actual barrel Ian, so no worries on that score.

Ah right, thanks for the info baldie...I was initially going to get the T8 but was advised to go for one thats easier to clean, it got mentioned about the wildcat which are strippable and are now supposedly a lot lighter than the previous models? I also asked about the PES and was told its in contact with the barrel i.e no sleeve preventing it from contact with the barrel so they advised against these..... duff info..
