SSP 10m rifle ?

[rapidboy1]

So i shot the 601 for about a month and ran it over the chrono this evening, all looks about right.

3 x 10 shot strings from cold.
Average speed 593fps with H&N Excite Econ II pellets (7.4grains), 5.78ft/lbs.

Lo 589.5
Hi 596.3
Av 592.2
ES 6.80
Sd 2.44

Lo 591.1
Hi 595.6
Av 593.3
ES 4.47
Sd 1.73

Av 593.5

Sd 2.00

Decent pellets could only improve consistency.

I did have the front weight fitted for a while but had to remove it, still felt very unbalanced so last week i cast a few weights for the stock and it feels much better now, i might even want a little more but its ok for now.

288g in the cheekpiece


and another 335g in the stock


Last job was adding a few baffles which turned out great, it's really very quiet now



Does anybody have a 602 or 603 with the dry fire feature ?

Good shout on the weight, the sidelever guns definitely benefit from weight off the front and put back on the back.

I’ve got a 602 with the slide at the side of the tube for priming the valve without having to complete a stroke of air.

I found a drawing for the 603 so i see how the slide fits onto the cocking linkage, i was thinking about attaching a wee rod to the same place on the linkage but coming straight out the bottom and hiding it in the accessory rail.

With the baffles fitted i can cock and fire it's so quiet so dry fire isn't such a priority now but it would be easier not to have to cock it properly every time.

Still undecided on refinishing the stock or not, i was thinking about stripping it and giving it an oil or wax finish with some stippling on the grip, its a bit smooth as is.
