BSA Scorpion Carbine, JSB Exacts .177, 8.50 gr (attn: Peak)
« on: January 11, 2009, 09:51:50 AM »
PeakChick asked how the new BSA Scorpion shot JSB Exacts.   Here are 45 consecutive shots, shooting  CTR, TL, TR, BL BR at each target.  The last 3 shots are JSB Predators.  This is a single fill to about 3000 PSI.  The JSB Exacts were weighed to be within the range 8.55 gr to 8.45 gr.  No wind this afternoon, so any flyers are my wobbles.  As expected, the JSB Exacts 8.50 gr, if weighed, group as well or perhaps a bit better than the Beeman FTS 8.80 gr.  But I am sure that most of the variance is me, not the pellet.  I didn't re-zero the scope, but it looks like the Bushy should come up and to the right just a wee bit to be dead on at 30 yards.  It also looks like either the air rifle or me or both settle down toward the end of the string.  More practice needed, no doubt.  Airrrrrrrrrrr Gunzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz etc.


PS: those darn Eddleman targets! They don't cut the shooter any slack and just won't tear a single ragged hole unless I actually shoot one.  Note to self - use cheaper targets?

Hey TCups I like your avatar I had that album back in the 70's ELP TARKUS. I loved that cover art

Gene:

Wish I could have come this weekend.  I had a busy day today.  I was up by 5AM and on the phone to Pasadena, TX soon thereafter (Randall:  next time you PM and ask me to call you at that hour, it is best to take the phone off the wife's bedside table before you do!)  I worked early this morning to get caught up.  Then lunch with the wife and kids and a zoo trip for "Little Miss Perfect".  Then a nap (grandchildren are very tiring).  Then there wasn't much daylight left to shoot.  But I promise to get up that way very soon and compare Bezar's with you.

Yes, I used to be a Disney character dragon, but it didn't fit somehow.  I also considered the King Crimson thing, but settled on the TARKUS, AKA TCUPS via a little Photoshop trickery.  If my groups don't start improving soon, I may have to go to Photoshop to retouch the targets before I post.  Oh no!
