What'cha doing air gun related today?

Was windy all night and through today! Double digit swirling winds and rain today.

I fired a couple 5-shot groups with my Uragan2 .25 using Altaros 50gr. I was trying to shoot during lulls in the wind, but lulls were short lived before a big gust would send the wind flags straight horizontal! I was curious to see how much POI shift 'might' happen shooting in these variable windy conditions. So long as I took the shot during a lull, the high B.C. Altaros were falling right on POA and in a ragged hole at 50yds!

If you have an Uragan 2 in .25 do yourself a favor and try some Altaros 50gr (49.5gr) at 895fps! You can thank me later.

By all means, please proceed with work on that HUD, I would love to see that! You could set it up to go through all the views too, like Predator. lol

I figured out the hardware, But I don’t think it would work very well. There would be two focal points with it being an add-on.

You'll circle back around when you get bored or when someone else does it. You're a shark in the water with a taste for blood now. At least, I hope so.

Well I just sent the MO to Murff for a liberty .177 PCP he's selling. It will be the first PCP that I've bought a duplicate of. I have a .22 Liberty that I have a love hate relationship with.

Finished my PCP pistol gun case. Crosman Silhouette on top, with moderator, stock sight and red dot. It sits on 3mil of padded plywood. Pinty and accessories on the bottom, with moderator, stock, bipod and accessory box.

I also extended the Buster stock by 1" with a spacer, and set up with QR screws!

I went back and forth on which scope to put on my Nightfall, Pinty 1-6x24 LPVO FFP or Pinty 3-12x44 AO SFP. Ended up deciding on the LPVO, since it hasn't worked out elsewhere, was comfortable and matching, and the 3-12 is supposed to go on my Vanguard anyway.

Then I took it out for its first shots and sight it in at 25 yards. There are some quirks I noticed, but I think maybe I will make it into its own thread.

Leaves everywhere!!!!!! Mulched, blew, chewed on leaves on my range. 2 gallons of 2-stroke and 5 gallons in the mower. It was cold never hit 50f here and felt like 40. The wind was crazy!!!!! Well enough complaining

Got out the Striker after doing some work and checked it at 50. With the wind it still was grouping great with the FX 15.9 pellets. To cold, after out in it all day, to shoot too much. The old fingers were not working well.

If the wind dies down tomorrow I will shoot my first card of the online competition.
