It was too hot and sticky for the outdoor range today but I wanted to play with the girls. I called up Ed and we decided some indoor bench in the AC was in order.
Top to bottom:
Theoben Evolution .22
Beeman Crow Magnum .20
Theoben Sirocco .177
They all shot great except for the Crow Mag because my dumb*** grabbed 13gr .22 pellets instead of 13gr .20 from off the shelf. With all the attention to detail Theoben put into their products youd think the end user could at least read the tin before setting off for the club.
I started the day with the Evolution. This is my favorite. It sounds absolutely amazing, is super easy to cock, and the shot cycle is gentle as could be despite being 13ftlbs.
Next up was the Sirocco. I forget where I have this one set but I believe somewhere around 13.5ftlbs if memory serves. She's snappy but still shoots great. I love the lines in the wood too. There's just something about shooting pretty guns that just adds to the experience.
I'm still a little disappointed that I didn't get to play with the Crow Mag. Of the bunch it is easily the most accurate despite putting out 24ftlbs with the JSB 13.4gr pellets. My arm would have been sore after 30+ shots at the 25m bench targets but it would have been worth it. Next time!
