    50 shot group at 35yds from MKIII FT fac

    I absolutely love my .177 MKIII! I'm endlessly impressed by the consistency and accuracy of this rifle. I wanted to share these pics, in support of the fantastic rifles daystate are producing. I'm in the states so my rifle is shooting the 10.2g JSB heavies at about 860fps. From one 3000psi fill I took all 50 shots at a lasered 35yds from a prone position with the rifle rested on sand bags...

    You can see I got caught with two flyers that went towards 1 o'clock

    (a US dime measures about 17 or 18mm across)

    I've got a bushnell 4200 8-32 moutned on there. If my hopefully-soon-to arrive airwolf will shoot as well, I'll be in heaven

    Regards,

    Not bad grouping mate. Now try it at longer ranges, say 55 yds or 50 metres.

    Yea great shooting!,50 shots that's amazing the consistency of your gun best I can get out of any of my guns is 35to 40 or so then pressure changes a pellets start to drop try 45 to 50m and see if the shots open up or not, let us see the results!?

    Good shooting

    I must say that i'm not surprised, my MK3 was the most accurate gun i've ever owned.
