Nasty weather outside tonight, & with the change in the weather it’s been really hard for me to stay inside, so I’ve been entertaining myself Plinking & Tinkering (Plinkering + Tinkering = Plinkering) inside.
I had a Red Dot mounted on this Titan MC020 for the last few weeks, but this red dot (CenterPoint Multi-Tac) has a slightly tinted lens.
The tinting isn’t a big deal when using it carbine style, held close to your shooting eye, even when pesting at night with flashlights, but I found the tinting is magnified when held out at arms length in pistol shooting form, making the picture a bit dark. I have a Bushnell Trophy Red Dot with clear lenses that would be great, but I wanted to try a scope, especially since this rig will be used to snipe rats off feeders at night this winter.
I recently received a neat little Tasco Pro Class 2x22 pistol scope with matching Weaver rings, & with illuminated reticle (a tiny triangle lights up, right under the X-hairs), from a standup fellow-yellow member (Thanks helsac). This scope is silver, I mean Really silver...more accurately Chrome...& I wondered how it would look sitting on the deep blue Titan pistol. Hmmm...Looked good to me.
It’s cold and raining outside, so I only shot 4 pellets at 15 feet indoors to test the rig out. It put 4 JSB 8.44’s into the same hole (like my 22 Falcon FN8 did), so I’m optimistic it should perform at least as well as my 22 cal FN8. When I say the same hole, I mean the hole in the target 15 feet away will firmly hold a 177 pellet in it. Suddenly, this scope looks Beautiful to me on this rig now, like it was made for it! Could have been a factory option
Weather is nasty right now, but you can bet I’ll be wringing it out at 25 yards like the scoped 22 FN8 as soon as I can, mapping fill pressures, shot count, finding it’s refill pressure, finding it’s favorite pellet, etc.
And the Plinkering continues......
