Even though it is hotter than blazes here in central Oklahoma, I needed to sight in two of my rifles on which I had put new scopes and rings . . . the .22 BSA Scorpion Multi-shot and the .22 Akela. Set up new targets at 28 yards and had alot of fun getting them both shooting their best. Used the FX crony to check the speed and energy of various pellets (11.5s 14.4s and 18.1s) The Scorpion is the only rifle that likes the Predator light weight non-lead pellets. It is currently tuned at around 22 fpe with the 11.5 Predators and the Akela around 26 fpe with the 18.1 JTS. I refilled both rifles to their maximum recommended psi and put them back in the safe. The other rifles looked up at me with a sad puppy dog look in their eye, so I took out the .25 FX Crown and then the .25 Caiman X and put them through their paces. Refilled the Crown and put her back in the safe, but left the Caiman out on the porch in the tri-pod. Gonna wait for it to cool off this evening and try to get a few starlings. All of these rifles are tuned for quiet backyard pesting, so I can pick anyone of them to take out and shoot without problems. That is the kind of shooting I enjoy. Very relaxing. Hardly a bird flying right now. I think they are all trying to keep cool in the shade of the trees and bushes. Only the Mockingbirds, Robins and woodpeckers are visiting the feeders. Tomorrow, I'll work with some of the other rifles just waiting to impress me with their accuracy . . . .22 BSA Defiant, .177 BSA R10, .22 Daystate Air Wolf, .20 Daystate Regal, .22 Air Arms 510S, .22 Zbroia Hortitsia and .30 EVOL Paradigm. Oh, the depths of the rabbit hole! Happy Independence Day to all.
