Yeah, I guess I expect too much sometimes. Usually, if I do my part, the shot will be in the red.
Speaing of enviromental factors, I did go out yesterday morning, but it was too windy and I did not feel that variable belonged in this cold shot test. So it will be another week before I have any time to shoot. Gotta make a living ya know.

Seeing a lot of nice accurate guns in this thread.
For Benchrest target challenge shooting ( I.e., 30y, 40y and N50-50y ), it’s my RAW HM1000x .22 with JSB 25.39g shallow pellets or slightly better are the JTS equivalents. The RAW TM1000x .177 is really exceptional at 30y and very solid at 40y, in light wind shooting FX 13.4g at 810 fps.
A very close 2nd place is my FX Royale 400 .22 with ST barrel for both target and pesting. My POI is very dependable at 30 and 40y for squirrels.

What is accurate mean? I have to ask because Saturday I was doing all sorts of shooting and testing. My Beeman under lever has been giving me a fit but after some tuning and pellet testing I got a full mag in a group under a quarter from 20 yards. And was very happy. Then I pulled out my silhouette pistol with a stock and put ten pellets in a nice group under a dime. Very pleased with that. Then I pulled out my HFT 500 and put ten pellets through a 1/4 inch hole directly in the aim point. Are the otheres not accurate ? Someone said once perfect is the enemy of good.

I read all 8 pages of this post and after careful consideration, I'd have to say that my Maverick Sniper in .30 is my best overall accuracy wise.
The digital gauge on the second reg shows no rise, it's flat shooting with 10y & 50y zeros. I can do a cold grouping at 50 yards at 1 MOA.
It hits 100 yard targets consistently. Wind is a concern here so the gun needs a better moron behind it to guess wind drift.
That said, I grab my 500mm Notos 9 out of 10 times for pesting due to its light weight, it's love for cheap CPHP's and fit in my hand and to my cheek.
It gets the typical FX 500mm MOA groupings at 50 yards and hole-in-hole at 30 yards with no wind.
If faced with a coon or whistlepig, I'm grabbing the M60B filled with King Heavies. The Maverick has more energy but I'm not running after critters with a #12 gun!
If you are talking 10m indoors? My BRK Bantam wins hands down. Punching bulls is its claim to fame, it got too boring to shoot, no challenge.

To be serious here lately I've been shooting the drs and it sits in the corner purposely rested off the barrel an when I pick it up 90 percent of the time it's by the barrel but it still just plain shoots h and n 40 gr slugs around 930ish and it's been deadly to 50 yards

Here is the next cold shot. #3 I think.
Heading out again now, but will continue Monday or Tuesday. I think 2 more should be enough.

My pick would be a hard choice, as I have a few, but I'd say the Brocock Bantam Sniper HR .22. I never pick that gun up and shoot it, that it doesn't hit right where I left it zero'd and is an absolute laser. It is one of the best airguns I've ever owned. It's not complicated to work on. It doesn't leak, It just works, period. In some ways, you could say it's boring. You just never get any drama with it.

I just finished my five cold shot test, but rather than spread it out in this thread, I started a new one and would love to see others results in this type of test.

A few weeks ago I was reading through the "Whats your most onsitently accurate airgun?" thread. Regulator creep andcold shot accuracy was brought up. So this got me wondering and I decided to do a little test with my RTI Prophet Performance with a .25 RPB barrel installed. I have my Prophet...
