Today was a slow day so I took my new Atomic on a ride a long. After my first job before it got too hot I set up my table and chair in the back of the Sprinter and set up my Atomic the way I like. I cleaned the barrel and I went to the range. Zeroed at 25 yards with Hades. Here are the results. She’s shooting 700 fps. The scope is an optisan cp3-12 with FX no limit mounts. The trigger isn’t the greatest but hey she groups I’ll leave it alone I’ll probably make it worst and I’m sure it’ll break in. It’s a hunting gun not a 100 yard moa Gun. Overall I’m very happy. Smoke a lizard with it. Not a bad spread for a crappy barely supported table.

Awesome little carbine brother. Perfect gun to take with you. Looks like a good shooter to!

I feel like with what you do Mike, that gun is perfect! Close/med range hunting, squirrels mostly? (in .22 edging out. 177 imo) easily packs away...a keeper if I ever saw one!🤩 You had this model before🧐....or was it the ranger?
 
@PasadenaMike, very nice group, especially for your first outing. The trigger will smooth out, mine has after many tins of CPHPs down range… And you are correct, it is superb hunting or pesting PCP at sub 50 yard ranges on small critters… I will be plinking with mine shortly… the Atomic XR is really a sweet platform, it performs outsized to its 17 FPE power level. How about M.O.G.B.M.? Minute of gingerbread man…?🙈🤓😈

That cookie ain't getting back up🤭 I too love to plink with random garbage, recycling, expired foodstuffs, you name it! Adds a bit of fun. I laid eyes on my 6mo old tiny Tylenol bottle and told the wife....save that for me when it's done! She knew what I wanted it for😅
