    Long range shooting (180 and 250 meters)

    Hi fellow shooters my name is Steve and i am posting from Greece.I am a member long time now to your forum but this is one of my first posts.Some of you may now me from another English forum.Read some of the posts and i really found that airgunbbs is just great for sharing my thoughts about airguns.First of all i have to inform you that Greece doesn't have airgun limits but hunting is not allowed with airguns.
    Enough said about me ,so Let's get started.Yesterday gone for long range shooting with my buddies.Targets was at 180 and 250 meters.Rifles, airarms s400 .22cal 45 ft/lbs and my custom aiararms s400 .25cal 67 ft/lbs.Took some photos from the field and made a video also.On the video a digiscoping method used for seeing better the targets.Hope you all enjoy it and sorry for my bad English.Here we are:

    Hello and yasou steve. My name is costas and I have a .25 Rapid 48ftlb and a MFR .22 32ftlb. I have seen your videos on youtube and iam very impressed with that sort of long range shooting. I have shot at 174mts with the .25 and I was shocked at the power retension the pellet still had left.

    Welcome to the club steve and keep up the good shooting, xristos will love this too.

    Got afew bubbles here on the BBS.

    Verh steve ti oreio bistolaki pou exies.
    That is one awesome looking rifle steve I must say and a .25 cali
    as you know i love the .25 cali, a real all and all out hunting cali.
    My Rapid was built by ben Taylor, its a fully regged .25 and i get 48 full power shots at 835fps with a 31gr barracuda .25. I have had alot of extensive work to the rifle, from trigger, hammer+spring, partical filter and a special reg, the buddy bottles too have had some re-works done to them.The silencer too has had special internels by John Bowkett. Read my review on the rapid in the fire-arms section. Would love to meet up with you one day so that we can have a shoot with thses rifles.
    Great stuff steve.

    Us bubbles have some serious power air rifles, not like some tea-bags who like shooting those "pea-shooters".

    juhu, yes some nice shooting over there. how were you compensating for drop? how many minutes of drop? if i wanted to go so far i would not get there by dialing 11Mils, i would probably need 18Mils easily to get there..
    keep up the good shooting..

    got some similar video through my spotter but with twice that caliber ;-))just have to get the video together

    Flims cracking rifle you have there mate.Nice finding some airgun long range fellow shooters.First of all the rifle has 67 ft/lbs of energy enough for shooting in that kind of distances.I use a nikko stirling nighteater scope with a 30mm tube and FT reticle.That gives me plenty of viewing "room" .Also the FT reticle helps me a lot.When i am shooting , i can see where the pellet hits in the ground.This means that i can calculate the exact drop point in my scope.But, right now i can hit the target easily cause i place the target right on the center of my crosshairs.how?i use a special custom one piece mount and that gives me that advantage.You can see the mount here:
