First Go At Zeroing The New R10 Tonight.

[RSVNelly 518]

Well first time at the range this evening with the new rifle, I think it went pretty well, however there are a few things I'd like to have a look at. The first thing I'd like to try and do is change the trigger pressure, I'm used to shooting 5.56mm and 7.62, it felt a little to light for me. Secondly I think I need to bring my sights down 1 click as I feel it's slightly high, however I wondered what your thoughts were about this especially when shooting at longer distances.

I've tried to attach a picture of the target, I know it's not brilliant, however it will get better, hopefully. This is two 5 round groupings from ten meters, I brought the target in to check after the first five and then sent it back out.

To be honest mate, air rifle is going to feel like a toy after what you've been used to.

 

However, accuracy is very important (assuming you're using .177), you're looking at a 4.5mm pellet traveling at just over 800 feet per second, hitting a very small target.

 

There's no spray and pray - Air rifles are very different. You'll probably want to zero at 27 - 30 yrds as it's a smaller, more precise impact.

 

You could do a lot worse than meeting up with Mac and Sean

 

Have fun and Atb.

Cheers Jon, it felt good to be shooting again. The big difference I found was having to shoot with safety glasses and my eye site been crap ?

I'm looking forward to shooting from greater distances, I enjoy really concentrating trying to get the smallest group going. What I did notice was the slightest of movements sends the .22 pellet everywhere. Completely different ball game to what I've done previously but great fun, now looking forward to meeting up with others and picking up some good tips and knowledge ??
