The aselkon has been doing OK.

I wasn't able to get some great groups on this gun for some time, so i cleaned the barrel and let the gun season for a few shots. and after around 30 shots i was able to get a same hole group at 55 yards. After setting up strelok correctly... I started to try long range shooting and was able to get a consistent sub 1 inch group at 70 yards. I pushed this gun to 90 yards and i managed to score hits on sparrows and doves. quite happy with the performance so far, however I think i'll end up getting another air rifle in a few months. but im learning the ropes of being accurate and consistent still and im happy to be learning the process.


I think i settled with the P35X as it looks quite light and decent for on the move shooting. I'll be able to get that maybe by the end of this year

Pellets out past 70y is a literal wish and pray to hit whats aimed at if any sort of breeze or wind is present.
Sounds like you & rifle are doing well as anyone can realistically expect.

Thanks Motorhead, took a lot of tinkering though. I actually managed hit sparrows past 80 yards also. But I haven't tested that too much as I want to avoid unnecessary injuring, however the ones I did hit were instant kills luckily. I had a close call at 120 yards where I almooooost headshotted a dove but a few mms off target . I think I'm pushing it at this point. Better to stick to 70 - 80 yards

Or ... see if some lighter SLUGS shoot well ?
If finding some that do, those longer shots become much more doable.

Possible, I'm using 18.13 grain jsbs. Maybe a slightly heavier slug would benifet me if my gun can shoot them fast enough and accurately perhaps.

I'll give it a try.

Be careful about shooting doves. They are considered a migratory game bird and require a federal "duck"stamp and they must be in season to shoot. Another point I do not know if using a rifled gun is legal for them either.
