I wasn't able to get some great groups on this gun for some time, so i cleaned the barrel and let the gun season for a few shots. and after around 30 shots i was able to get a same hole group at 55 yards. After setting up strelok correctly... I started to try long range shooting and was able to get a consistent sub 1 inch group at 70 yards. I pushed this gun to 90 yards and i managed to score hits on sparrows and doves. quite happy with the performance so far, however I think i'll end up getting another air rifle in a few months. but im learning the ropes of being accurate and consistent still and im happy to be learning the process.


I think i settled with the P35X as it looks quite light and decent for on the move shooting. I'll be able to get that maybe by the end of this year :D

Pellets out past 70y is a literal wish and pray to hit whats aimed at if any sort of breeze or wind is present.
Sounds like you & rifle are doing well as anyone can realistically expect.

Thanks Motorhead, took a lot of tinkering though. I actually managed hit sparrows past 80 yards also. But I haven't tested that too much as I want to avoid unnecessary injuring, however the ones I did hit were instant kills luckily. I had a close call at 120 yards where I almooooost headshotted a dove but a few mms off target 😅. I think I'm pushing it at this point. Better to stick to 70 - 80 yards

Be careful about shooting doves. They are considered a migratory game bird and require a federal "duck"stamp and they must be in season to shoot. Another point I do not know if using a rifled gun is legal for them either.
