Im happy with this

[Boomer1974]

10 shots at 50yds. I'm happy with the tune. I was shooting for group. Now to get it zeroed. I'm using a Vortex 3-9x40 and can tell that I need more scope. My 50 year old eyes were struggling. So I guess I'll start doing some research on scopes. I have to say it's nice to come home and be able to shoot every afternoon. Whish I would have bought a pcp yrs ago. Thanks for all the info shared with me on my pcp quest.

It was 8 shots. I thought the small Avenge X .25 mag held 10 but it's 8. Couldn't figure out how to edit the original post.

Yes that will make life for lazy flies landing to rest, very dangerous.

My tired 1966 eyes need 30 X to see flies, well at least at 100 M, half of that and the risk is substantially higher, almost sure death, not least if the fly is on the huge steel end of the container at 55 M CUZ in that case you just have to hit close and lead splatter will still get the fly.

What scope you using. I haven't done much research on big scopes. I'm really not a fan of the scopes with all the lines in the recital.

Awesome 50yd group with your Avenger-X! PCP accuracy is addicting...

Yes it is. This is my 1st pcp coming from a break barrel. I've definitely got to get me another scope if I'm going to stretch it out farther than 50yds.

Very impressive!

 

[Pcoffman]

Nice shooting.

 

[Boomer1974]

Nice shooting.

That was with a bipod and a rear bag. I can't get them that tight with just the bipod yet. I'll keep working at it though.

 

[Boomer1974]

Very true. Wish I would have made the switch to pcp years ago. I would have never thought they were that accurate.

I was responding to the pain of purchase comment not the impressive comment.

If that's freehand, yes, very impressed.
If it's bench rest, bipod, tripod, sand bag, etc.,...the gun did all the work.

I don't know anyone that can freehand a group like that at 50 yds. Secondly that was the whole point of me upgrading to a decent pcp was to get a gun that could shoot good.

To edit original post. Look for 3 dots at bottom right. Push dots and a bar with edit will pop up. Push edit then after you edit scroll to bottom, and save.
Any group that is one ragged hole is a good group. Keep looking at the target after shot for a second , or 2 this can help pellets line up better to stay on target. The general rule to take a deep breath let half out don't work for me.
I let out all air then breath in untill cross hairs line up hold , and shoot.
Good job.

I disagree the human factor is very difficult must learn to breath , slowly squeeze trigger , and stay on point.
I had to relearn shooting an air gun from a powder burners. I still catch myself anticipating the recoil once in awhile.

Recently bought a CVLife Bearswift 5-25x56 FFP SFIR. As good as my old Leupold MK4. I was VERY surprised by the edge to edge clarity.

My only gripe is the center reticle is small and difficult to see. It does illuminated and I like the illumination is only the small center +

Your reply works for both!

I would recommend any thing in the Athlon scopes line .

My recommendation would be the Vector optic.
The glass in mine is gorgeous. Just a really nice scope and not all that expensive.
