Very cool, thanks. I tried that link before, but I was not clear on what you were talking about. "Chairgun" and I'm there. Thanks.
Some thoughts on gas-pistons from someone who hasn't BTDT, but seems to be getting there:
My groups are just getting better and better. Just like with a pneumatic or a 22LR, I am starting to be able to call my flyers. I don't remember the last time I had one of those springer head-scratchers. Ya know, "how did that hole get over there?" -kind of thing.
It struck me that I am just now finishing off my second 500 ct tin of pellets, so I'm realizing that maybe for the first four years of ownership, I hadn't even broken my gun in, yet.
I have shot in a few strange and stupid positions, and the hold really doesn't seem to be any big fuss with this gun. I have never shot a springer, but maybe there really is a difference with these gas pistons.
What IS a big deal is any flinch. The big loss of accuracy seems to be in flinching/followthrough. As long as I can keep my zen - I mean deep, Tibetan stuff - approaching and during the big bang, the holes are appearing exactly where I expect them. Quite gratifying. I am looking forward to applying this to my next long range powder session.
Also, I got some wadcutters, and this makes a big difference with my practice and enjoyment. 22 caliber holes never looked so big.
