My gladius.177 at 30 yards

[dodge3500]

Got restless and did some shooting today at 30 yards with the .177 hatsan gladius.
I shot 10 mags or 100 shots whichever you prefer off a shooting stick and a 5 gallon bucket ,lol not very steady if you ask me but I was happy with the results.
7.9 grain crossman premiers hollow points at power setting 3.

My first 5 mags were very tight groups but as my eye got tired from squinting the group started to open up.
The nature of the beast I guess.

I think the gladius is the most underrated bullpup atm for all it offers for the money.
If Midway offers them again for sub 600$ ,I'm gonna grab up a .22 or .25 to go with my .177 gladius..lol I saw them for 500$ ish on Midway for a bit,you could get one for sub 600$ and add a reg and still be sub 800$ .
Just be watching Midway sales.

Midway says 'Special Order' so maybe that means they won't stock them anymore? I got mine, a .25 Long, at FieldSupply. It came bundled w/a new Optima scope and at the time was the best price on line. I like my Gladius a lot. It's heavy; I wouldn't want to schlep through the woods all day hunting, but shooting from a rest at one place is no problem.
