Peskadot, Okay, what is it? Is that a thunb-up thumb-hole? Or just ???? Another picture or 2 please along with ...
Sorry for the late reply. It's an AAA Paradigm in .22cal with ZCO 4-20×50 scope. Yes, it's a thumb up, thumbhole stock made by Steve Corcoran for AAA and sold through AoA.

I shot a variety of pellets in the 10+ grain range in a DAR Gen2 .177 attempting to find just ONE that can achieve at least 1 MOA.

So far, my quest has not been successful. Maybe that is why DAR stopped making .177...

I tried these:

JSB Heavy 10.34
FX 10.3
H&N Baraccuda and Baracuda Match 10.65
JSB Hades 10.34

Fliers in every group. The ONLY pellet that shoots well out of this gun is no longer made.
H&N Sniper Magnum 14.97

Which also shoots GREAT out of my Fortitude... (heavy sigh)

I may HAVE to try the 8.4 varieties... which have never done well for me. (Gave away all I had long ago to a friend and he hated them too)

Or... I am going to have to invest in the super heavy .177 pellets... and then try slugs...

Why didn't someone tell me this was going to get expensive? (chuckle)

P.S.

The FX not only LOOKED much better/more consistent, they did actually DO a LOT better than the JSB pellets. Just not 1 MOA and still had fliers, but not as many. So having JSB make them off of ONE die for each batch does seem to be a good idea. (y)

The H&N Baracuda pellets just sucked in this gun. The Match being the worst I have shot so far.

The JSB Hades did better than I expected, but still was not 1 MOA and had plenty of fliers. But not too far off from the JSBs.

Winner FX, but NO CIGAR!

Today shot a Hahn super bb repeater. Off hand at 32 feet Using Daisy match grade precision ground shot. the hammer spring is on the third pin for maximum power. And this little bb gun has decent power. And it's loud contributing to the fun.

A super fun quit action gun. 30 shots as fast as you can cycle the lever. Every boy that grew up watching western's wanted one of these. Owning one you where The Rifleman

Yes I shot it as fast as I could cycle the action.

You just have a the nice stuff eh?
Sold a Hahn for a friend so needed to thoroughly test fire it first. Small little thing and, Fun!
Also tested out another friends slightly worked on B5. Shooting at a very small kill zone FT target at 25 yards shockingly accurate.///View attachment 279544
I like the stock on his. I may have to make one for mine. Yes I was surprised how accurate the B5-1 is. Will be shooting mine more this weekend.
 
I shot the identical pair of Crosman Summit Rangers I have recently acquired. I’ve been testing pellets in both of them looking for the “right” pellet for each. They are identically equipped with 4X32 Winchester AO scopes, identical rings, and slings. Current

favorite pellets are 8gr Umarex .177 hollowpoints and 14.3gr Crosmanman Piranhas.
