Greetings everyone..l
Picked up my new R1 carbine in .20 from UPS last night. Mounted a Williams FP on it. Been firing some Crow Mags & some 14.3 grain Benjamin pellets.
My "range" is indoors, about 10 yards. Going to a real range tomorrow.
The gun is now shooting to the POA @ the lowest setting. When I first started shooting, was about 1 inch high.
Will shoot @ 15, 25 & maybe 50 yards tomorrow.
I may end up scoping it, but to be honest, I rather like a good apature sight.
I have a lot to learn. Been shooting reg firearms for a long time. This is a whole new ballgame!
Best

Great!
Have you overcome the odd recoil of spring guns yet? If you master that your groups will shrink. |

I am getting used to the strange recoil. I also have a Beeman C1 thats about 25 years old. Been firing that one too. It's in .177. Never really fired it much in all these years. Been sitting under my bed for years...lol.
I do like the idea of air rifles. I plan on taking them both squirrel hunting later this year. Leaving the 22 at home.
Yea.. 10 yards is about all I can get out of my Condo...lol...

Break the poor rifle in for about 800 shots, your groups should tighten up a bit more once everything settles in.
Nothing wrong with a peep sight if your eyes can handle it- probably more accurate at moderate/short ranges than most scopes anyways.

Went to the range today. Fired @ 25 yards. Groups were not bad at all. Many almost one hole! However.....
My iron ( peep ) sights are going. At the lowest setting, it shoots about 4" high.
Just ordered a BSA 4x32 scope & B Square mounts. Hopefully will work just fine!
