Sunday at the range
« on: March 22, 2010, 03:51:27 PM »
Sunday the weather here was darn near perfect, I loaded up the AA, the RWS 52 and the ol Marlin M60 22 LR and headed to the range.  This is some of the best shooting I’ve done with the AA 410 ERB. That’s 10 .22 JSB’s Heavies (1 magazine) through that hole at 25 yards! I think the hole is smaller than it looks cause of the paper tearing, but I'm not trying to brag.  I just took them out of the tin, loaded the magazine, checked the air pressure quick like (it was about 170 bar) and fired away. You know, I’m really reconsidering this whole Benji Marauder thing, with the AA shooting this good.That gun can plain shoot. Now the RWS and the Marlin (with Federal copper plated HP) couldn’t touch that group obviously, but they held their own. The RWS actually turned in some respectable groups using Beeman FTS. I wanted to shoot the 50 yard range, but the ranges were pretty full so I set up on the 25 yard. I set up next to an older gentleman, who I learned from overhearing his conversations was a Vietnam vet. He just sat there single loading a round in his M-1 every 5 or so minutes, look through his spotting scope, chew his cigar and mumble under his breath. I could have stayed at the range all day.  But the 22 LR ammo was going fast, the “honey do” list wasn’t getting any shorter and I was too lazy to pump the 410.

Good shooting.  The group with the AA 410 ERB is typical.  JSB Jumbo Heavies (18.1 gr) at 3/4ths power on my AA 410 ERB will consistently yield one ragged hole at 30 yards for me, too.  And they will absolutely flip a tree rat with either a fusebox or pumphouse shot.

Yep, the AA410s can achieve those groups out to 25 yards easy....when using the right pellets in no wind conditions.  I didn't have the chance to try out my AA S410SL carbine out to 50 yards yet....but if my Gamo Viper and Hammerli Titan can get 3/4" groups, I'm sure the 410 will do better or equal it.
Gamo: Expotec .177 + Big Cat .177 + Viper .177 + Whisper .177, Hammerli Titan .177, Diana model 24 .177, RWS-Diana P5 Magnum pistol .177, Crosman: G1 Extreme .177 + Storm XT .177 + Sierra Pro .177 + 1377 pistol .177, Air Arms S410SL .22, BSA Scorpion T10 .22, FX Cyclone .177, Remington Air Master 77 .177 + BB\'s,

S410 can be taken out to 200+ yards easily! ;0

Getting mine soon.. well the single shot version saves a bit of money that way.
