.25 UK Patriot at 50 Yards!
Been shooting this hammer open-sighted for a long time. Finally decided to scope it up with Burris Timberline and BKL 260 1pc mount. I keep my fingers crossed – BKL has no bars/stop pins for Webley guns. So far I fired 100 or so rounds, no problem. BUT I am thinking of putting EFR on it since it’s 4 oz lighter than Burris. Will see. A mildot reticule will sure be fantastic on that Leupy. Anyway, I tested both Beeman FTS and H&N Trophy which are the “same” pellets. I am happy with a 3/4″ group with both pellets at 50 yards but FTS (top) shot a bit higher than Trophy (bottom). Both managed to punch 3/4″ groups for 3 shots each. So far so good. I also remember the difference between Baracuda and Kodiak in my .177 TX200HC. Both shot virtually identical but with different POI. I guess there is a difference between “brand” and “rebrand.” 😉
I set the scope power on 10. This 20 grain pill is a serious varmint medicine at almost 29 FPE. Outstanding performer with faded but great history!

Glad to see someone else enjoying the bigger spring guns.
Always bothersome to hear folks say that a big springer cannot be accurate. I’m thinking these are the same folks who simply cannot cock them and just dismiss them… 😆
Anyway, here are a few groups I’ve done with my Patriot and Kodiak….
This should have been Patriot…. my Kodiak is in .25

Nice, Rob! I’ve seen these groups before. Springers are capable of excellent, almost PCP-kind of accuracy. One just needs to master them to that level.
