Others First 3 groups of 2026 / 30 yards Atomic XR…

[Luis Leon]

Stupidly cold but I had to send a few pellets. 22 degrees, varying wind at 12 mph, from left to right, right to left and head on. Bipod front and my shoulder as the rear bag.The first group of five. I sent when the wind ceased or slowed down. The second was a 7 shot group. I sent the additional two after the wind blew my shots to the right. The third group I sent a full magazine and let the wind do what it would… I had just taken a red dot sight off the Atomic. Simply put this scope back on it and sent the groups below.

Nice, I have an Athlon Heras SPR 2-12×42 waiting for my Krait to arrive. Basically the same scope, the Heras just has exposed turrets.
What is that white stuff in the background?

You floridians kill me. Your backdrop @Luis Leon looks like mine here too. Hope winter goes by quick, but not too quick, got a few car/gun projects to wrap up!
Nice groups and the most important thing to me is that first group...bang-on out of 'storage'. Heres a a pic i took earlier this week of neighbors barn. Roof peak looks black lol. Its all starlings!... they swoop in on the cow feed and eat it (or bugs inside it??) I snagged permission here to pest this past summer but I dont go after them in winter, they are hyper-aware this time of year.
