Lol...yeah, same here. Rifles are usually pretty dialed in, it's the person behind the scope that makes things interesting.

I believe most people don't know that there is a difference between accuracy and precision. I learned this form a teacher during high school physics and it's something my geeky engineering brains thinks on a lot. What's an accurate airgun? What's a precise airgun?
Well, accuracy is how close you can get to your target and precision is how many time your can hit the same spot.
So maybe for hunting an accurate first shot rifle is important. But, for target shooting a precise gun is one with repeatable accuracy within a very small tolerance.
So what do you own that is precise over a 5 shot group, a 10 shot group, even a 15 shot group?
For me, I have two, and neither is particularly powerful. First is a Cricket Carbine Mini .22. At 12 yards (indoor range) it will put all 14 shots in a magazine of H&N 18gr @ ~26 fpe into the same tiny little hole as long as I am able too. Second is my Uragan Compact in .177. It will put a 15 round magazine of JSB 10.34 @ 15-18 fpe pellets into a single hole as well at 12 yards. Each of these guns has proven to be able to do under .50" groups at 46-50 yards in the right conditions.
I have other very accurate guns, but I can't call them as precise as they will spit a round every so often.
Tell me about your precise airguns.
Any idea what’s been done ,what is it running atMy RAW HM1000x LRT .22 Ken Hick's tuned is my most precise and accurate PCP. Have had Daystate, FX and Brocock, all very fine shooters but this RAW is just more consistent from first shot to last....when I miss it's all on me.View attachment 269964
What extra do you get out of the extra plenumI'd have to saw my hm1000x 25 cal View attachment 270604

I thought it was ironic in your first paragraph in your post you spelled form instead of from as you were saying most people don’t understand the difference between accuracy and precision.
Ken cut a coil off the HS and it is tuned to shoot JSB 18gr @ 950fps.Any idea what’s been done ,what is it running at
I can push 33.95 jsb at over a 1000 fps with the reg at 150 bar before it would just do 900 to 905 at a 150 so I was able to lower the reg to 120 bar and am running the 34 gr jsb pellets at 895 to 900 fps and get more shots on a fillWhat extra do you get out of the extra plenum
I purchased a RAW HM1000x LRT in .30 caliber today and spoke to Ken who was out of stock and ordered it somewhere else. What does he do to tune the guns?My RAW HM1000x LRT .22 Ken Hick's tuned is my most precise and accurate PCP.

When I purchased my .22 Chassis from Ken, I asked him to de-tune mine from the factory 50ft/lb tune shooting JSB 25gr @ 950fps to shooting JSB 18gr @ 950fps as it's much more cost effective....plus it shoots NSA 17.5gr @ 935fps.
