Thanks Marno....Great informative video!!! I will never be in any competitions,but it will help in my understanding of accuracy. I wish you luck in your next event.
Are PCP’s inherently less accurate than Rimfire? I have 3 high end benchrest Rimfires, all my 5 shots groups are one hole, or a jagged hole, but always touching making 1 hole. I’ve binge watched literally over 500 pcp clips in the last month, I’m yet to see anyone shoot a decent Rimfire level group or score. I just bought the Skout Epoch, have tuned it, so can’t judge it yet, but it’s not shooting Rimfire groups
Nice setup. Respectfully if you break form between shots your groups will always vary because your cheek pressure and position is constantly changing. When shooting a group only the loading hand should move. This will tighten up your already awesome groups.
Thank you yes to one degree I fully agree with you but i sure that will we part of a parallax error if the side focus is not spot on. But thanks for your comment I appreciate i also think that a scope cam can have an influence on groups but that can be a subject for another day
Hello Marno. I use Bicycleman on the GTA Forum. I enjoyed your demonstration. I have been using JSB pellets for about 10 years and find the accuracy satisfactory for hunting Squirrels in their natural habitat. I do sort my pellets by weight; and I also remove any damaged pellets I find. So it seems we agree that sorting is a benefit to accuracy. Thank you for a good video. -- Mike --
Good day sir long time no speak. Yes pellet sorting I believe is super important also with great results you will have much more confidence down range. After doing this test i must say i dont think i will use the pellets that gave me poor results even for hunting. I feel that it may lead to very poor shot placement. Really nice to hear from you have a great day
Great review,very interesting, I have used FX pellets for the last 3 years in my FX DreamTac and Daystate Mk4is, always had superb shot placement compared to other brands I have tried. 👍
It's the more the consistency of your Daystate than the pellet weight that does the spreading. Climbing pellets and two left two right but almost in same hole. Compare the air pressure in the tube between the good and and bad groups. Common problem with PCP's, even with the regulated ones. Way to many moving parts that can be cause of that....Your best groups i'm able to shoot with my HW springers and i have never put a pellet on a scale. My unregulated AirArms S410 has a "sweet spot" and i almost put pellet on pellet within that pressure range and i only look if a pellet is damaged. The air volume and pressure of a springer air rifle will be always the same, and if you know how to shoot a quality springer they are as accurate and i even dare to say even more accurate than a lot of PCP's on the market. Last week i nailed 9 of 10 .22lr rimfire shells on 30 yards with my little HW30 springer with a 2-7X32 Airmax scope mounted, i could even decide if i hit them high or low. I absolutely don't need a PCP to do that, but it's way more easy to do it with a PCP but no challenge for me and in my opinion boring. On close range (up to 15 meters with flat heads) i do even outperform my S410 with my Diana mod.75 and FWB300S match springers from the eighties or any other quality pneumatic air rifle. Long range shooting ,50+ meters the PCP is absolutely in advance, at least if you're in a country that has no power restrictions. Cheers mate!
Great video Mr. Denner but I do not see any links to products, like the scope, in the description. Still really really helpful information. Please keep up the good work. Cheers from the desert SW USA!
Awesome video and good taste in kit too! I've got a D/State HR and they are truly awesome pieces of kit: smooth, consistent, highly accurate, with elegant looks. The HR simply exudes quality when you study the finish and fit of its component parts. I would even pitt mine (in terms of accuracy) against many of the offerings from FX for upto 70 metres.
Hello Friend, excellent video for maintenance issues, I had a problem, I hope it is not serious, but the following thing happened to me: I dismantled the rifle so I could only clean the barrel and the rest of the chassis without removing the regulator, I removed the bottle, I released the air from the plenum, when I finished cleaning I reassembled but when I put the bottle in, air began to leak through the barrel and When I try to reload the lever it gets stuck in the middle and doesn't allow me to push the lever all the way back, therefore the air keeps leaking, I removed the bottle but it still won't let me reload correctly, I hope you can advise me on this problem, greetings from Morelos, Mexico...
I think if you ever shot anything in your life your comment would’ve been different all those doves i shot was dead when i went to collect them. Please don’t try to be a smart ass cause it may tell you look like a fool
Nope i have the Ghost cause im an ambassador for Daystate and Brocock. With the right silencer it can be very quiet i use eaglevisioncams sigma m4 silencer
What editing software are you used for scope cam text font, sir? That's cool editing font. What's the name of the font? Very nice shooting and very clear scope, cam 😎👍
I have bought a used delta wolf and purchased the DTD thank you for an easy to follow tutorial I will be updating my firmware etc in the next day or two.
I've been watching your videos for an while now they are awesome keep it up my brother 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦 It's pit that I don't afford even a cheap air rifle equipment to start my youtube channel. Please let me know if there will be a giveaways or something like a competition 😅😅 I so wish to own a pcp rifle one day because I love outdoors activities. 🥺 Take care
Hello Sir I also buy this airgun only not sure what scope mounts I need I have the same vector optics only not sure how high I need the mounts for the magazine go free. Nice video now I can not wait for start shooting my old Huntsman I buy second hand it’s from 2010 unregulated 😅 Thanks for your time
