In December I bought an Airforce TalonP with a moderator in .25 cal to deal with late night chicken killing intruders in a quieter manner than the 9mm I was previously using. I mounted a cheap 4x scope I had laying around and a light. With 33 grain pellets it chrono's at 870 fps for 55 fps. Perfectly adequate for small to medium pests.
I haven't had any late night raccoons visiting, but I did take it out to my backyard range and was shooting single hole groups at 25 and 50 yards, so I decided to up the game with a better optic.
Last night I mounted and laser sighted a 6-24x50 Vector Optics scope and this morning set up a target at 85 yards.
First shot was off a bit, but a quick adjustment on the windage turret and game on! The next three grouped at just over quarter sized.
I am quite impressed at this kind of group from an unregulated airgun with a 12 inch barrel.
Lovin' it!
