Holiday Shooting with JSB's

We hope you enjoyed your Holidays.  With unusually nice weather here in Michigan, fairly clam with a light mist of rain and very light winds.  I wanted to fire a couple of groups to test out the new shipment of JSB 18 grains .22cal.  

Royale 400 on the Left, Theoben Rapid on Right
5 Shot Groups

First group shot with my tried and true Royale 400 with smooth twist barrel.

Second group with my out of the box Theoben MKII.

Shot only one group with each rifle, @ 50 yards,  with 9x Leupold and Weaver Scopes.

Both groups basically dime size or better.

Here is a group I shot with the FX Gladiator with 12x Busy Trophy XLT

Now time my Daystate Air Wolf

Rifle was left on high power, unbeknownst to me after demonstrating to a customer, found out it shoots good at high power also. I believe this was 6 shots.  

 So I decided to push it out to 60 yards
The rain got a little heavier, and the winds picked up.
Still very happy with the groups
High Power and Low Power Air Wolf Groups

Theoben Rapid MKII

Shooting @ 30 ft/lb with JSB 18g9x Scope

Thrilled that the snow wasn't blowing in December, It was nice to get outside and let the airguns stretch their legs a little bit.  60 yards 10 shot dime size groups, shows the JSB's are still the Hot Ticket! 

First Time In The Shop

Who is the odd man out in this picture?  First time for us to get a Daystate Wolf in with a 400cc bottle.
Daystate's Air Wolfs have always balanced well with a 500cc bottle, but I've always wondered what  a Daystate Air Wolf would feel like with a 400cc instead of a 500cc bottle. Depending on stock density, which varies, the guns with the 400cc bottle are approximately 6 - 10 oz. lighter than their counter part with the 500cc bottles. Did not take guns out of stocks and no not have action only weight differences.  Was actually amazed to see such a difference in the stock density variation.  Having less weight extended out past your hand grip area, the guns do feel noticeably lighter.

These are 12 ft/lb guns and can't see ever having enough time to make a dedicated shot string, but I have heard 400- 500 rounds is achievable on a single fill.  Rifle at high power shoots @ 800 with 7.9 JSB, power level 2 (low power) shoots @ 780 with 7.9 JSB.  Looks like Daystate is looking to maintain just under 12 ft/lb and accommodate various pellet weight.  Factory shroud at 12 ft/lb is very effective in minimizing the rifles report.  Very Limited Availability - $1,869.00 

Tactical Air Wolf's x Two

Set up a couple of Wolf's this week. Amazing how identical these guns can be.  Both guns were .22cal Tactical, the only real difference in these guns were that one had a left hand bolt.  They shot at 29.6 ft/lb with 18g JSB and right at 38 ft/lb with H&N Barracuda's.  Fired 30-40 shots with each gun to get it on paper and make sure they were grouping, no clipping issues ect.  I've heard of customers getting over 200 shots on the lower power setting and 100+ shots on the higher power setting.  

Both customers upgraded to Huggett Shroud System. The Huggett Shroud Systems makes the rifle very quite, and even more enjoyable to shoot.  It adds less than an inch in length and the smaller diameter under scope creates no clearance issues that larger shrouds can sometimes cause.   Huggett Shroud System is available for Daystate Rangers, Daystate MK4's and Daystate Huntsman. Huggett Shroud System is an optional $350.00 when purchased on rifle and $375.00 when purchased as an after market item.

Even with the gusty wind conditions both were doing a dime @ 50 yards

Daystate is really on a roll these days!
