AA 400 MPR FT accuracy compared to a Condor
Has anyone compared the accuracy of an AA 400 MPR FT to a Condor at 50 yards? Which is consistently more accurate?
Which is the most consistently accurate AR at 50 yards?
Thanks

I have had a AF rifle for some time now, with different barrels and configurations, and can say without a doubt that my newly aquired AA s410 erb extra SL is a more consistantly accurate gun. It could be that my AF rifle could stand some refined tuning for sure, but the AA is basically a tinker free, straight shooter right out of the box. The much more traditional AA ergonomics may suit you better as well. The AA is just more of a quality, refined piece, albeit more expensive, but then you don’t get the very cool modular platform AF offers. I quess that’s why I have both guns lol.
Snipe….
Curious as to why you are wishing to compare a relatively mild FT gun with a beast such as the Condor.
Just curious because the “match” air rifles are all low power and setup for 10m.
There doesn’t appear to be much difference in accuracy based on the price of AR. I really like the flexibility of the Condor/ Talon but was wondering if I would be happier with an AA or Theoben (spelling?) because they might be more accurate.
Most of the time my rifles are capable of shooting better than me and I didn’t want to get the Condor and wish I had bought the AA because it was more accurate.
The wind always seems to be a factor when I’m shooting so I’m looking at .22, and I realize that there is a period of getting accustomed to a new rifle, BUT after the “dating” ends can I consistently hit what I’m aiming at?
I enjoy shooting paper with small bulls eye, and just wanted to know if the Condor could do the job vs the AA.
It appears that the Condor’s accuracy is good if I can do my job. I admit I am a little concerned about the Condors trigger being good enough to consistently allow the rifle to be accurate.
Thanks for your input.
Well… the AAMPR FT is not a 10m gun…. the regular MPR is… the FT model is a 12fpe gun rather than a 5-6fpe gun. …
that aside, if you are looking for no fuss target shooting, as much as I love my Condor, I would have to recommend the AAS4xx ERB SL in .22 to buck the wind a bit more. I can consistently shoot 5 shot groups under a nickel with mine at 50 yards. It will yield more shooting and less tinkering than the Condor for target work. If long range hunting is your preference, the Condor may be better, but at 24 fpe with my ERB SL (I can set power easily from sub 10fpe to 30fpe) I get a ton of shots at a spread that allows me to shoot at 50 yards with no noticeable drop in POI.

Not much to add to what Jerry said.
I have both the Condor and the MPR FT. I can consistently shoot my MPR better, all things considered. The ergonomics are better, which lends to accuracy that is easier to obtain…
but as Jerry mentioned, add wind to the equation and my .25 Condor will hold steadier at range better than my .177 MPR…

Well this ought to be fun! I’d say my Woodsman .32 but others will have their favorites. My Monsoon shoots one hole groups at 50 too. Now add a little wind and the heavy, high power .32 keeps on shooting good but the Monsoon requires real work to stay accurate. I’ve got a .25 that will shoot one hole groups at 50 but in the wind it’s between the .22 and the .32… .177 can shoot great groups at 50 but the conditions need to be great too. My .62 smoothie can shoot a decent group in a hurricane…
The fact is; there is no “most consistently accurate.” The good news is that there are lots of very accurate ARs out there and you just need to pick one that suits your wants and conditions. If you only shoot on dead calm sunny days at paper 50 yards away, pick a quality .177 and be happy. If you shoot when you can, not when it’s perfect out, pick a .22 with some oats (Like a Condor or a 400/410 etc.) and you’ll probably be happy. The biggest single determinant in accuracy is going to be you. I’ve seen lots of great groups from Condors/Talons and also from guns like the 400 or FX or Rapids etc. The Condor/Talons may require a bit more technique but the potential is there and up to the shooter to exploit.
