So, as the title states, I finally took out my DRS. It's a 600mm walnut .25 caliber. I would've shot it sooner, but I wanted to oil the stock, wax the barrel and install a carbon barrel liner. I was a bit rushed because my kid wanted to shoot his bow this evening. We're doing some shooting for his birthday this weekend so I thought I should at least get it kind of sighted in though.
I paced out about 35 yards, drew a 1/4 inch-ish dot on a miller lite twelve pack box and taped it to a stick I stuck in the ground. Shooting offhand, with 25.4gr FX pellets, my first three shots were about four inches low. My first impressions were that the gun is light. Like really light. It's going to take a little effort to hold it steady. And it's a little loud but I was expecting worse. I'd say borderline backyard friendly, but I live in a small town out in the sticks. That trigger is almost too light as well. But I think I can get used to it. I just wasn't expecting that when I took the first shot.
Then I clicked the scope up. Took a few more shots. Still a little low. Adjusted the scope. Two more shots. Getting close. Couple more clicks. The last four shots were in one rough hole I could cover with a dime. Might need to go up one more click and one to the right, but it's good enough for now.
I guess the bottom line is if this gun continues to shoot like this, it's definitely a keeper and the squirrels should be terrified.
