Trajectory Compensation scope on PCP
Posted: Sun Nov 30, 2008 1:04 pm
Having finally got the chance on a two day holiday to try out a Leatherwood Trajectory Compensation scope on a PCP, it has worked very well indeed, as I had thought and mentioned in the Sale post for the scope. Here are the preliminary results-
The Equipment-
Air Rifle- BSA Superten .22 PCP
Pellets- H&N Baracuda 21.1 grain
Mount (Converter from 11mm to Weaver)-
Scope- As mentioned- Sporter 3-9X auto Ranging and trajectory compensation scope.
Reticle-
Have nots- Laser Rangefinder!
Setup-
With the Convertor and Original mount, the bottom of the lens ended up being an inch above the barrel! That's good for a looping pellet trajectory that my PCP has, and good for using multiple points on the reticle.
RESULTS-
The scope was zeroed for 10 meters with the lower hash mark of the reticle. The point of impacts that emerged are-
10 mts- Lower hash at 3X
20 m- Center of reticle
Upto 50 meters- Center of Reticle
65 m- lower hash again
125 meters- center of reticle dead on at 8.5X
With more trial, I will have more data for ranges in between.
