Q:

My Royal came today

It rained all day in Virginia today but I was gonna shoot no matter what…I have a little range set up at work…I set up in the tool shed and shoot out the window at 30, 40, and 50 yds.. I was really curious to see how this new rifle was going to perform.. I used 12 shots to line up the scope, a vortex viper 6.5-20×50, at 30 yds.. After sighting her in I was able to hit inside of a dime sized dot at 30, hit a dime sized dot at 40 and make a quarter sized shot group at 50 yds, with the edge of the quarter sized group hitting the edge of the dime. I shot the rifle 36 shots total and then had to call it a day……I’m impressed….this thing is bad…at least in my eyes….I can’t wait to do some more shooting friday morning. This is a better rifle than I am a shot maker…I wear glasses and have a tough time using a scope. I’m thinking of getting a Hawke 6-24 x56 and put it on the royal….The Hawke will focus down to 10 yds. and I somehow think and am hoping that it may help me with the targeting…..all and all I think this is a nice gun, accurate, light, decent looking, and packing a pretty good punch….time will tell, like I say I’ve only run 36 pellets thru it…..15.9’s…..Thanks to all who have helped me with the choice of this rifle…………don

If they would make an AMBI Stock like the Air Wolf or newer Rapid Stock, I would be in the market. 😉

I had a little wind to deal with….wind makes a big difference…..I was amazed as to how much….After I got hip to that. I waited for breaks in the wind and did some shootin. The gun shoots great, very accurate. I don’t like the cheek piece on the stock…to high for me, I wear glasses…poor ol eyes ain’t what they once were. I suspect others feel the same way about the stock. I was able to get around that somewhat by moving the scope forward as much as possible. That allowed my cheek weld to move forward and downhill a little….still not comfortable but ok I guess….I think I’m gonna get some bkl scope rings that are offset. I’ll see what happens then…Also a correction from yesterdays post….I used 18.1 jsb pellets and they seem to work fine. Other than the uncomfortable stock I’m pleased.

Nice day in Va for it!!! I’m off work tomorrow. Hopefully can get out there too!

It’s friday morning ,,,,,,the eagle poops…….I got a pocket full of pellets and I’m out of here…life is good

Congrats. It is great getting to know a new gun, usually. Enjoy and report back when you get some more trigger time.

Use it in good health!

Congrats… Seems to be a great gun all around….
