Friday, I had three guests that are avid powder burners over for a day of airgun experiences. Everything was set-up for them to each rotate through twelve different precision tuned rifles, starting with a Weihrauch 97 and 98, a Beeman R9 in .20, progressing to a Scott Schneider tuned .22 AA S410 (which they each shot an autographed souvenir target with), a Charlie Frear power tuned .22 Kalibrgun Cricket long, a .22 Daystate Wolverine, a .22 Brocock Commander XR, a .22 RAW HM1000X Chassis, a .25 Daystate Wolverine Forester, a .25 RAW HM1000X-LRT (pre Air Force), and a .25 SKOUT. Then they get to the Panthera 700 MM shooting the ZEN 33 grain slugs - and the response is "WOW." While huge and heavy proportionally, it is quite simply in a different performance class.
I love them all, but if I am bench shooting and the wind comes up, there is simply no other logical choice......
BTW- I think I made a at least one, if not two converts, over to the good side!
