Have a look at Stoeger XM1 Ranger - available now


I've evaluated the Stoeger XM1 Ranger in .22 for the past 6 months. It is extremely accurate (see target at 50 yards, 5 shots) and since it's regulated, it has very consistent shot to shot velocity. Adjustable Hammer Spring, adjustable 2 stage trigger, adjustable length of pull and comb/cheek rest.

I have put thousands of pellets through it over the past 6 months. It seems not very pellet picky but mine has done best with JSB 18.13,, H&N Baracuda Match 5.52mm. The target shown and chrono was with the Baracuda Match in 5.52.

Never a jam or leak or any other problem over that period and number of shots.

It has a large metal picatinny rail on top and pic rails on the forestock sides and under the forestock (for laser, bipod or whatever).

Good shot count per fill: I get about 60 full power shots with Baracuda Match on the regulator.

Regulator can be adjusted but is has to be removed from the air 300cc tube (once gun is completely empty). Hammer spring is externally and easily adjusted.

The Scout is essentially the same as the Ranger but with a 460mm barrel (making it a "carbine") and has 200cc of air with an operating pressure of 250 bar.

The excellent accuracy was as is out of the box and no adjustments made (shooting Baracuda Match) after cleaning and filling it with air.

Personally, I clean my PCP guns after about 500 shots, but that's just "me". Cleaning airguns is a much debated subject.

1/2" TO 5/8" groups at 60 yards when properly tuned and matched with proper pellet/slug. MOA or less at 100m when properly tuned and with matched pellet/slug. I shoot every day at 50m for 2 or 3 hours. I rarely have opportunity to shoot at 100m.
That sounds pretty good.

Is it pellet picky?
I would hate to go back to springer times.

From whay I have heard they are the same platform as the xm1 bullshark, just a different stock configuration? My .25 like the JSB KINGS, King Heavies and the Polymags. I can accurately shoot polymags out to 60yds! Never done that before with a polymag unless it was a .35 cal

If they cannot shoot .22 pellets at 2 cents or less then they are pellet picky.
Polymags are probably more than 2 cents a pellet.

You are hell bent on this !
Mine shoots JSBs 25.39s (.25 cal. Scout )
It also does the aea pellets and jts in the similar weight 25grains

So that’s a few that work well. Cost is relative. I’m sure it will shoot the Benjamin’s ok if that’s the criteria

At that price per pellet without any deals I wouldn't know what you're feeding the gun but it probably wouldn't like them. I've only seen daisy pellets. H&n excites and Crosman pointed pellets in tins of under 250ct
 
I am buying when there are deals.

I have a huge amount of some pellets.
CPHP 1.2 - 1.4 cents a pellet have been around until a few months ago, now they cost more
Norma Domed 17.6 or 15.8 grains for less than 1 cent a pellet (a deal from last December at Pyramid Air).
I like Norma pellets 17.6 is nice. I concur

I shoot the Norma 17.6 grains at 70-80 yards from my Nova Liberty/Avenger/Umarex Zelos/Gamo Urban at my spinner targets.
In little wind I get a 80% or more hit rate with all of the above.

My Nova Liberty is still the most accurate.
Gamo Urban is probably last because it is not regulated and shot at lower velocities ( around 820 FPS).

Norma pellets are way better than CPHP which I shoot up to about 50-60 yards.
