Others zelos question, quality/accuracy

[Dogowski]

View attachment 9165I have struggled a bit with my .25 Zelos. I initially got some somewhat bad advice about pellet weight and some settings. I have settled on FX Atomic pellets and 2000 on the reg. Have not messed with the hammer spring. Shooting 835-840fps, and very accurate out to 90 yards. I have picked off 3 mice from 82yards. I shine a mag light out to a wood pile where these little suckers run around at night. I shoot for the glow of their eyes. Pretty impressed with that shot, if I DO say so myself.

Nailed em good my airgun brother. All my kills with mine have been under 40 yards due to land limitations. Most impressive shooting sir!

I have since purchased a Wraith NV scope. Picking them off without spooking them with the Maglight. They are quick and skittish. It isn't always a one shot/one kill scenario, but more often than not, I bag a couple a week. I am fortunate, I have an almost 4 acre plot to shoot on. I could go out to 150+ yards, if the undergrowth were cleared.

Popped this guy tonight at 88 yards. Zelos .25, FX atomic pellets, Wraith NV scope. -5° outside tonight, shooting out of my garage back door.

Great shooting man. 88 yards is an incredible shot!

Thanks! Those little suckers are fast! It's not always a one shot, one kill scenario, but I have bagged quite a few at that range.
