EDgun Matador is the #1 PCP in the world…
EDIT: This was not a gun problem after all… It was a problem with my adjustable magnification scopes… All 3 scope (Leapers 8-32X56, Nikko Stirling Diamond 10-50X60, and Leapers 4-12X40) were losing their zero and shifting the Point Of Impact every time I moved the magnification adjustment wheel from the lowest setting to the highest setting and back again to the lowest setting…
Eduard, here are some 65yd groups I shot this morning…. It seems that
sometimes it is a laser shooting 3-5 shots on top of each other and then shots
start to fly everywhere… I cleaned the barrel very carefully and shot some 100
shots before shooting these groups… The wind was absolutely zero… My
Combro is on the blink so I could not get any FPS information…. This gun has
well over 10,000 rounds through it. It does not make a difference what
the psi is in the gun and I removed the shroud/mod to make sure it was not
causing any problems. (See group on bottom left that says “No mod”)
I also pulled out my Rapid to make sure that it was not the conditions.. The
Rapid shot a 10 shot sub 1″ group at 80yds. The EDgun shot 2 sub 3″
groups so I know it was not the wind nor the shooter causing the wild
flyers…. I ordered a new Chrony this morning so I should have FPS info
next week….

Ed was right. It was either the crown or pitting in the barrel or both… The
rough spots I found before was evidentially rust and I did not polish the bore
long enough to get them out…. TexasB did a really good job on the crown
and polishing the bore so it could have been a combination of both. I am
going to put a new barrel on it as soon as I can find a 12mm BSA barrel…..
Any idea how the crown might have gotten damaged?

I told Jeff already my thought about it — while cleaning the barrel.
Hey Jeff,

I found out yesterday that the fps spread tightens up significantly when I tune the trigger of the gun to be very “crispy”. Anyone else experience this?
AAAAAhhhhh yea. A few years ago that dawned on me…. My gun will only
cock if I flip the trigger while I am pulling the bolt…. Kinda dangerous but
“KFC crispy”
I thought we were only suppose to post 3-shot groups from now on. 😆
I’ve got some more experimental “irons” in the fire. I’ll let you know how things turn out. And if the results are good, I may want to send you guys some “treated” JSB 18’s to try.

Finally got the EDgun sorted out….. Seems it had a knob of budda in da
barrel… Just kidding… TexasB re-crowned it and did some magic and it is
back on track….
Test targets for today…
65yds
80yds

Yep…. Just to clarify. I was not trying to shoot on different magnification
settings… All shots were taken on X10 power…. I was just zooming in to see
what the groups looked like and then returning the magnification back to X10
for the next shot….
I do like the idea of First Focal plane scopes… I had a Barska that was First
focal plane but it would not focus less than 30yds so I sent it back…
Did you look at that link I posted on 1st plane and 2nd plane scopes?
I am on the phone with legacy sports and they are going to send me a new
Nikko Stirling Diamond once I send this one in… As far as I can see, all I
have to pay is shipping….
More scope testing here…
Yep,and that is enough to say Stear Clear! 👿
That was OYKAS posting under one of his names over there recommending those scopes.
Thanks for the heads up….[/quote]

mmmmm……………… BSA barrel 😀
One good thing about living in the UK is that we can get BSA barrels easily 😀
I can only get them in 15.5mm OD that I know of, but will enquire about a skinny one 😀
Is there a BSA gun with a 12mm barrel?
