Paradigm 22

[oldsparky]

I had to go into work this morning but was able to shoot my new Paradigm when I got home. I wanted to shoot a shot string to see where the gun was at. My plans are to shoot this at the XFT shoots. I filled the rifle to 4000 psi and headed out back. I tried shooting a group while shooting the chronograph. I could only get out to 64 yards where I needed to set up the chronograph. I am shooting the JSB 22 redesigned 25.3 grain pellets. I was pleased with the results. I got 44 shots at an average of 939.4 with a extreme spread of only 9FPS while making 49.5 FT LBS. The first ten shots made a nice group then the group opened up a little over an inch. There was wind and I did not compensate at all. I think it will work out well. I thought about getting a rifle with more power but worried that I wouldn't shoot the gun much except at the range. So I made a compromise that I think can be a all around rifle.

9fps ES?!?! That'll do!

My XFT gun only shoots the .22 MRDs to 890 and, while I'm not lighting the place on fire with my scores, I can kinda hold my own with it. So, I don't think you'll be at a huge disadvantage.

Nice consistent gun, congrats.

I would bet that these regulators are still breaking in for at least the first few hundred shots, but I'm really pleased with the consistency. Even more so with the accuracy.

The graph below is shot 67-122 after taking the Paradigm out of the box, and doing nothing to it but shoot on the chrony. Pellets straight out of the tin - 25.39 RD's like you.

I love this gun!

Mine got some new/used glass yesterday. The Paradigm is no lightweight to begin with and it accommodates the Titan well. And oh what a nice view!

Beautiful AAA Paradigm! Congratulations! Enjoy shooting it.

Congrats! I need to find some JSB .22 MR 25.39 to try out in my Paradigm. I got mine about a week ago and have only shot less than 150 rounds through it. Yesterday was the first time I ran it through the chrony and was curious what speed it would shoot with JSB 18.13gr. I haven't done some official groups yet due to limited range and time. The results are from a 270 bar fill.

My intern analisis of the Pardigm, pros, cons, bla, bla, bla, ended with the buying a Vulcan 3 in. 177 Cal.

FYI @oldsparky purchased this rifle for extreme field target. There is a whole discussion in that forum about rifle choices.

Well good for you. Nothing wrong with the Vulcan 3 but the Paradigm and Vulcan 3 are totally different platforms. Did you just come on here to poo poo on the OP's thread?
