So far this is as good as I can get this 25 to shoot
I was shooting my Airarcher and my 25 today.
I had a wind from left to right, and at 102 yards, I have white typing paper , behind my dingers I shoot at. I am sighted in at 100 yards with a Bushnell 7×21 3200 Mildot and I was at 2350PSI fill shooting down to around 2200PSI for this group.
Condor hammer and weight, maxed out on PW and TH, shooting JSB Kings. I shot 5 shots to see what the wind was doing to my pellets at that range. It was blowing them 1.5 Mildots on 14 power, which is where this scope has true mildots. I was using the Caldwell Tachdriver bag.
The 5 shot group measures .75 inch center to center, there is one shot below that is circled, it was there from a few days ago, the paper is a little torn from pellet splatter from shooting the dingers.
I just don’t know what to do, I have tried everything, this seems to be as good as it it going to shoot.

Nope, I wouldn’t tolerate that kind of accuracy. So if it will help you out I’ll give you 50 bucks for it! 😆
I had Subsonnics bolt handles on all my guns. But the Breech on this gun has had the rear screw stripped, so I put a bigger screw in it for a plug and went with the knob.
Some combinations will shoot a tad bit slower with the bolt because it is heavier. Some valves work better because there is more mass to open them.
I have not seen that it threw shots to the side. However EJ’s seem to do that on their own.
On my Airarcher it is a must.

Did you notice less side-to-side POI shift when doing that?
RR, what is the theory with that??? RC, did you have a bolt handle on before? I must have missed this topic in the past??? Please elaborate.
I see you went back to a knob.

Excellent shooting!
😆 what a group! maybe slowing them down a tad could get you a little bit tighter group lol!
I’d throw that thing in the garbage..should be grouping better than that 😆
Some day I will get an MOA/SMOA group…if not I will toss my condor in the dumpster 😡

The bolt roach had is smaller than the one i had, so he might not have noticed the phenomenon.
My bolt destroyed itself. The length must have been part of it, during the firing cycle it was flopping about and ultimately ripped itself into pieces. It was made of aluminum. I had pictures at one time, but deleted them when I wrote the project off.
While testing it I had extreme difficulty keeping a horizontal zero. I assumed the bolt was causing the breech to impart pressure on the barrel just enough to upset zero.
The problem went away when i put the knob back on.
RC was suffering similar POI issues before, so I was curious why he went back to the knob setup.
