foxtails 272 Posted November 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 Just a thought but, if you're struggling with the vision, have you adjusted the eyepiece on your scope? yes iv got it now, to about a size of a 10 pence piece, other than that, with the scopes i have theres no way on earth that anyone could hit a pellet sized target from 40 metres away, if im wrong then please proove it ( not to be a show off....but to proove me wrong) thanks, ATB FT Quote Link to post

Just check YouTube. If people can hit a 5p coin 9 out of 10 x at 40 yards then putting in one hole groups out to 50 - 60 yards is possible. Quote Link to post
walshie 2,804 Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 I wonder if we're missing the point. Is FT asking how people can get close grouping, or how they can see a target that's pellet sized at 40 yards? 3 points: If it's the second option, it's simple. The target isn't pellet sized. A 3-9x56 or 3-9x40 scope have exactly the same magnification. Why try to zero an airgun at 40 yards? Quote Link to post
foxtails 272 Posted November 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 what im trying to say is at 40 metres away, can ANYONE with a 3-9x56 scope hit a pellet sized target at that 40 metres away ? litrally pellet size ! i can hit it a 5 pence piece at that way away, but can anyone with these scopes hit a pellet sized....target, with my scopes 3-9x56 ........? good luck ! .....took me over 200 pellets to get it right !......

pianoman 3,584 Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 Pellet on pellet into the same hole as the first shot? Yep, I have spring rifles that can honestly do that at 40 metres. I hit a clean 35 metre, .177 calibre single pellet hole with 5 rounds using Philpot's Air Arms TX200HC .177. I set up his scope on 6Xmag which is my preferred mag set-up. His gun is a right hand version and I'm a leftie! Fabulously accurate rifle he has there. Phil and Jimmy witnessed me doing it! I reckon you could hit a pellet hole at 60 metres with it -it's only 20 more! It's just down to proper practice and a top gun with precisely the right pellet! I find it a bit more difficult with my Regal PCP to hit that level of precision. That rifle is a lot lighter than the good, controllable and stable heft of a spring rifle I'm more used to. what im trying to say is at 40 metres away, can ANYONE with a 3-9x56 scope hit a pellet sized target at that 40 metres away ? litrally pellet size ! i can hit it a 5 pence piece at that way away, but can anyone with these scopes hit a pellet sized....target, with my scopes 3-9x56 ........? good luck ! .....took me over 200 pellets to get it right !......

I still don't get you. Who uses a pellet sized target? have you seen those bullsy targets, round, blue then red then white have a look on ebay, you will see what i mean, with the sights that i have i think its impossible ! i know theres some VERY good shooters on here, but for the sights that i have and the size of the target i think its impossible !
