MCT groups 70 yards
Theses were shot in the wind at 70 yards Saturday morning. These two targets were my last shots before it started to rain again but at least at this point I had figured out where to aim in order to get the pellets on target. The second target is a 10 shot group using the H&N’s and you van see a nice cluster in the middle but some hot away. The wind was a challenge but it also made it more fun. My shots were being blown about 3″ to the left of the targets and I had to compensate. I don’t have a gun vise and instead was sporting my snowboarding pants so I could stay dry while I laid in the mud with the front of my rifle rested on a front bag for some steadiness. I was able to get about 30 minutes of shooting in before the rain started coming down again. All shots were on the high power setting.
These were H&N Barracuda Match 21.14 grain. These would group in a 1″ target while the JSB 18.1 would group in a 2″ target and the JSB Monsters were so bad I might as well have had my eyes closed. Don’t waste your money on JSB Monsters to shoot out of an MCT. Everyone has had the same results using the Monsters. They sure look good on paper for consistency but the MCT does not like them.

Varminter, for a 3″ wind condition those groups look great… Shows a lot
of promise for a calm day…. Thanks for the post…
Anywho, keep it up.. push that tax break up to 100!
Post the targets…. 😉
The group look the same with other MCT I have seen without Windy. To tight the group smaller, I guess you have to lower the velocity.
Thanks for the shot strings.
Let’s get some comparisons with the other highly praised guns going before the stock market crash… 🙂
Just playing, the groupings look good in windy condition.
SWEET!!! 😀 😉
Ill try 70 yards with my condor tomorrow just to see if i can do better. Im not trying to make a competition but im doing it just out of curiosity.Nice groups btw
Yeah those groups should tighten up in better conditions. It would also be nice to see how well it can shoot at 100 yards in calm conditions. After I got my Talon and started shooting at 100 yards I am only interested in MOA guns. It’s too addictive. 😆
I almost didn’t post these because I don’t think they’re anything to brag about but I said I was going to post some groups over two weeks ago and I was impressed considering the shooting conditions. I hope to get some shooting in this weekend and hopefully it won’t be windy. The wind on the day I shot these groups kept changing so I knew it wasn’t a good day to test the MCT’s accuracy but some shootin is always better than no shootin! I’ll also be testing the .25 Air Ranger for accuracy this weekend. My brother accepted the package from UPS today and I’m going to leave and pick up my AR from him right now!!! 🙂
That some good groups there. I would like to see more thanks.
Nice, that’s pretty much how my marauder groups @ 70 but with 14.3 premier :X
Anywho, keep it up.. push that tax break up to 100!

Those groups show off skill as well at 70 yards in windy conditions…Judging the wind is not the easiest thing to do -especially when shooting airguns — so hell yeah Varminter those are something to brag about—sweet shootin…
