Marauder Optimizing my Syn 2 .177 for HFT....

[Cousin Jack]

I am an older than dirt guy who recently fell in love with Hunter Field Target. I have a Gen 2 .177 synthetic with a LW barrel that I kinda like, and an AA TX200 that I dont seem to shoot very well. What can I do to my Mrod, or have done, that will maximize it for field target for me? I dont expect to be a Champion at my age, but I like watching the things fall down.... I'm at about the 60% level at my local club. I bought the gun from AR several years ago and haven't changed the tune: I'm using 10.5 Crosman Premiers at 16.97 ftpds. Here's my latest chrony data done this morning: 847, 855, 856, 849, 851 ....

How'm I doing? What should I do if anything?

Have you tried other pellets for group at 55 yds? That would be one of the first things i would try. Id also try to up the velocity to 900-915 to help flatten trajectory

10.34s from JSB are likely to shoot more accurately/precisely and potentially even have a higher BC, to "buck" the wind better.

Thank you!
