Wowzers she's shooting lights out! You can use the holes for size reference and that is a tiny group! Very nice, maybe your New long range low wind pest rig?!
Do you by chance know its twist rate Solo1 on your new barrel?

No but I think it might be 1-24. Not sure couldn’t get a good read on it. Aoa told me it was o poly barrel but it has 6 squared and sharp edges lands and groves. I still have to see what velocity it’s at turned it down 4-5 from max so I’m not sure but ya tiny group that 1 at 100 a dime covers with room to spare!

That's shooting better than minute of crow at 100 yards. Very nicely done.
I've heard rumors from a couple friends that Daystate/BRK is playing around with another rifling profile. This photo was sent to me by one of them....
it's not the normal 12 land and groove Lothar (different shaped lands) and it's dang sure not the typical 5 groove polygonal they've been using for the last few years. In fact, I wouldn't call this a poly at all, but rather a 5 groove, traditional rifling (although with an alternate shape than what LW has been using for years-typically LW 12 grooves have a square shaped land).
Does your new 28 inch .177 look like this?

No when you push a slug thru it has 6 groves cut into the slug. Shoots 13 gr ko slugs great! Might be a rival for your 20 barrel. It shoots 15 nsa pretty well too but I didn’t have many to test and am waiting for the post office to deliver some new ones. Was really amazing to shoot slugs to what their bc says they should do for a change!
Best pic I could get of a slug

with the 28” 177 barrel out this morning. Shot 10 shot groups @100 adjusting from last shot. Target is 1/2” outside inner circle and outside is slightly larger than the 9 ring on a 100 yd target. 
The wife just got the same barrel...It took a good cleaning and a light polish to get it running nice....Her's really likes the AEA 33's....JSB MKI and MKII did not group as good for her at 50 yards....
We have a competition in Williams in about 10 days and she will be using it for the 100 yard bench and the EFT competitions....

Hope it shoots well that’s the barrel they were supposed to send me. Darren called yesterday and there was suddenly a shortage. I had to polish the 177 barrel too. It was very rough pushing a slug thru originally. I’ll be shooting the 177 in a hp match next weekend.

28" slug barrel?
@Solo1 are you running the new tensioner with that 28” .177 barrel?

Aoa says it’s not a slug barrel though they bumped me to the next shipment so i won’t know till they come in.
No it’s just the plain long barrel. It’s shooting the 13 gr jsb ko very well in my opinion at 100. Haven’t shot a fx or anything else barrel that shoots a 177 slug quite as well
