What Paper Target Did You Shoot Today

Jump to latest Follow Reply
I got something new!
Had a really nice tax refund, so i decided to grab something that has really grabbed my interest..last one for a while .. how many of you have sadi that..lol
I was going to get one when they fist came out, but life got in the way.
One delay became another until it all fell into place and i purchased a Skout Epoch.

It's a BIG rifle...44 inches long with the moderator attached.
Extremely light trigger pull (more like a mouse click than a trigger pull) that i really need to get used to...as seen in shot 8
10m to target using 25.39 FX pellets

Shouldn't take too long to get some consistency to my hold and the way i approach the shot.
Hope to get some 100 yard shots in soon
This will be fun!

I took some time between cleaning. It's windy again so I decided to use the house for a windbreak and shoot 18 yards. That is also the distance to my bird feeder that gets rodent activity, so two of these rifles are zeroed at this distance.

I thought a few on the Brocock target were misses, but the scoring plug gave it to me. The 8x of the Pard during the day is not the best, and its not a very good rifle for bench duty. But its great as a hunter/pester.

Optics
CZ200 Hunter Mag fed - Athlon Talos 10x42
Air Arms S200 SST - Sightron SII 36x
Brocock Concept Lite XR 22 - Pard DS35-50 shot at 8x

Outstanding shooting! I was looking at the HW44 the past two days. This doesn't help me resisting.

If you spring for one (I used AoA) have them tune it for you. They are a bugger for one of us uninformed to work on and no diagrams available that I know of. I had trigger set low (about 7 ounces) and tuned for 10 grain 177 pellets. I have settled on either FX 10 grainers or H&N Baracuda FT 9.57. They both hit poi the same. FX a little less consistent.

Thanks for the info. Yeah the FX pellets I get in 22 usually have damage, but the Air Arms 16 grains are usually really good. But the FX are a few bucks cheaper.

This is one of the mags I loaded to shoot the target I posted today. My Brocock is primarily a pesting/plinking rifle, and its plenty good at the distance I shoot it with just using pellets straight from the tin.

First outting to the range with the Epoch and i was not disappointed.
I really haven't done anything to the rifle's setting yet, just like it came from Skout
Used the JSB shallows 25.39g from the tin.
I used the magazine instead of single loading...Holds 30 shots!
The target is the one Thomas made that has the same dimensions as the ones used in the 100 yard competitions
Most of the targets are 10 shot groups.
on the bottom row, 1 group is 25 shots and the other is the whole mag
epoch .22 - JSB 25.39 - Delta Stryker 5-50 x 56 @ 100 yards

Hello @manabeknives

That is some fine shooting at 100 yards. Anything within the big red circle is really good. Looks like you had a great time.
