Well go and buy a one with open sites NO SCOPES and see if you can get the same groups

 

and im only shooting out to 18yrds

 

did not even take a pic of the first target look,d like a scatter gun had shot it

 

and the second one did not fare much better lol

 

but im going to stick at it as this stroeger 177 would make a good crow gun

Years ago when I was about 12/13 I ad a gamo in 177 (the ones with the different coloured stocks I ad the green one) that ad a open sight I was shocking for a couple of weeks then it all come together I was awesome with open sights. Then at 15 I got a webley (one with the flip up section to put the pellet) in 22 and ended up sticking a scope on it and never looked back to open sights since so would probably be worse than you Mac hahaha

If you could shoot at any fairground in the Nineteen Sixties and Seventies and win any one of those plaster figurines using their Bent Rifle Barrels and misaligned Iron sites, shooting today's Iron sites must be, well what can one say. Partly joking to one side Iron sites are fast becoming like Vinyl Records

The thing is i think we get soft what with scopes and zoom and all the other stuff that go,s with them

 

i used to shoot open site when i was a kid

Fair play to you mate for putting that up. You lot normally make out you can shoot a gnat's tadger off at 120 yards in a crosswind.

 

Now we know the truth.

i reckon your right early rifles dont look right with a scope on,and most sights got binned when scopes were put on, you know your field crafts good when you can get in range using iron sights.

[Underdog 2,337]

Hunted for years on open sights, off and on.

I have and will always think that most when shooting with Iron sites nowadays over compensate and forget the basics, shoot as if with scope, no difference. An AK is shot the same with and without scope.

 

Just my way of thinking.
