Some more Chrony #'s for (2) RS2's, a Quest and a Big Cat

[70GTvert]

Well, they are almost all Chinese, 'cept the cat, so I thought here would be best to post these. All but the Quest results are 1000 shots after my "tunes"- the Quest is about at 500 now (I keep separate marked tins for each). I like to give results after a decent wait period, otherwise I can end up with those abnormally high numbers too (I have, I don't post them)

The temp today was 54, slight breeze, heavy overcast and very high humidity.

After posting, the "space" I had between the columns disappeared. Sorry if that makes it hard to read!

These are the kinda results I like to see as far as spread, since I like longer distance shooting (around 60 yards).  A larger spread results in a wider POI at that range. I'm pleased, overall.

Is the Quest results the Big Cat numbers or ?  I looked over in Gamo didn't see a post about it.  There's a Big Cat comb on craigslist for 80.00 .  Is that a deal?

Thanks

OPPPSSSSS
Yes, seems I have 2 Quests there, don't I. The first one, without the "crosman", are the Big Cat results.
As far as if that is a deal, depends. If they treated it correctly, yes it is. As long as the basics are alright, I would still say yes, as in the long run, you will want to replace the spring and seal. Mine has the Trigger, and the wood 440 stock which I redid a darker walnut color.

Thanks for your hard work (?)...  I own both the Quest and Big Cat so those numbers give me an idea how my air rifles are "supposed" to perform.  Don't have any Beeman HP's to try out though.....but do have over 10 brands/types of pellets to feed them.

[70GTvert]

Yeah, just what the RX ordered!
Those .177 Beeman pellets are cheap, PA has 500@ about $3 a tin. The Quest and the RS2 shoot them at long range (60 yards) fair enough for can plinking, but they are dead on at 30 yards in my B3's.

I got the same velocity with Crossman pointed as the Beemans in the Quest. But the pointed weigh 7.9 too, so they would give 13.59 muzzle energy. They were more accurate then the Beemans, but not quite as good as the CPHP. I try to find a nice trade off between cost and quality with pellets as well as the Airguns.

That's enlightening on the Beeman RS2, I'll work on mine when time permits..thanks for the stats.
