Did you try the H&N Field Target Trophy in 5.53 - 5.54. The 5.53 made all the difference with my p rod ( same set up as yours done by Airgun Revisions )

You know that's funny I was just talking to Derrick Wall and he said you need to try the H&N field target trophies 14.66 he said they always shot in his rod so I got to order some.

I hope they work as well for you as they did for me, the accuracy I got with them was one of the reasons I went with the regulator and bottle, I wanted ALOT more shots with that kind of accuracy!

I am 79 as well.
If you are familiar with the Thompson/Center Contender and Encore, as pistols they are shot using the taco hold.
With the offhand holding the forearm and the strong hand holding the grip and trigger.
Push with the strong hand and pull back with the offhand.
As I posted I have owned them all.
My current PRod will outshoot the 1701, 1720 all day long.
It really enjoys Crosman Premiers as they were designed for the Marauder pistol.

The RAW tm1000 FT pistol seems an odd choice if you are considering a PRod or 1701. Of course, I'm odd too! I'm 77 so maybe odd goes with age. I have attached a picture of my RAW tm1000 FT pistol, 1701 converted to a 1720 with all Crosman parts (blue grip), and 1701 with 12" LW barrel. The 1701/1720 conversion is the same form factor as the PRod for comparison. The 1701 is the best of the three as a "traditional" pistol that I can still shot free hand.

It is the 1720 Crosman .177 LW barrel - so direct replacement. I bought 2 Crosman LW .177 barrels by mistake when I converted my first 1701 to 1720.

Try Crosman tomorrow. The part number is 1720‐017 and the description is BARREL, 12" MATCH 177 CAL. If they don't have it give Rich at Airgun Revisions a call. He is an authorized dealer/service center that may have them in stock. I have had Rich do work for me in the past and he is a great person to deal with.

The 1720 is stupid accurate even out to 50yds. The Prod is also pretty accurate even out to 50yds. Ive never shot a 1701 so cant say. I love both my other two and wouldnt change them. Each can be highly modified in one way or another. Or start from the ground up and build your own, also like I did with a 2240 variant.

A friend just eMailed and suggested i look at the Brocock atomic xr pistol ! HMMMMM ? Very interesting indeed !

the price difference is close to $1000,get the Brocock if that is not a problem,it won't be much more accurate than the 1701 or 1720 until after 25or more yards; but it can shoot much farther more accurately and probably more fun.Butt if your shooting less than25 yards you get the Brocock because you are an addict,
oh it is a repeater also,yep then there is the RAW pistol,it never ends
