It's not a target or bench gun. Yes you can put a big scope on it and shoot dimes at forty yards. But that's not where this beauty shines. With a small compact scope. It is a pesting and plinking machine. In good conditions the first round hit ratio, from 25 to 50 yards? Is unreal to me, I can repeatedly hit objects the size of a chipmunks head.
My current set up sending Crosman Premiers.
TP setting on low, zero at 25 yards
TP setting on mid, zero at 33 yards
TP setting on high, zero at 40 yards (for 50 yards 1 mil holdover)
Sending JSB Exact Jumbo 18s
TP setting on mid, 25 yard zero
TP setting on hi, 33 yard zero (1 mil holdover @ 40 yards / 2 mil holdover for 50 yards)
All my settings above will, and have repeatedly killed small pests at those distances. All of the above have been confirmed by hundreds if not thousands of pellets down range. When I say my settings? I mean using the Atomic XR as it came out the box... Simply an awesome little PCP that loves to be on the prowl for pests or game.

Glad you're still enjoying your Atomic XR, I'm still immensely enjoying mine.
