prabhu, i doubt if you can manage to get a new airgun even with 3500/- in chennai. Reason: chennai shops rob you often. Better order it from aimco.

I just want to know which one is more accurate at 10 mtrs & 25 mtrs. IHP35B .22 or IHP 35 .177?
Pellets I am going to use is master shot round head
May be this question is answered in this forum but I am not able to trace it

[santhosh]

.177 is considered to be more accurate due to their flat trajectory how ever accuracy also depends upon various factors like the hold, lubing,seal and lots more

Hi Guys,
> Yes! Consistant Accuracy is more important.
> As quoted by Santosh 0.177 due to its lighter pellet weight provides a flatter tragejectory - upto 15mtrs (45ft aprrox).
> A well tuned gun ( spring / spring guide /seal / lubing / Trigger pull) that gives 750fps with a 7gr / 9gr pellet and you have got it made!
> Happy shooting / plinking / targetting.

PS: And ofcourse - the hold - the pull (squeeze) - steadiness - concentration. 0.22 also can provide all these & more fpe (foot-pound-energy / knock down power). All depends on individual choice of calibre & comfort levels.

[nash]

Hi Nash / Ricky,
> The difference covered would be approx. 10 mtrs, in favour of .177 cal
> But then the energy retained by a .22 cal pellet would be higher than a .177 cal pellet.
> It would also depend upon the fps delivered by the gun + other factors like tuning, type of seal & spring used etc.
> If you want to know the difference in virtual terms it's like this:
"Take a 1kg weight and drop it on your toe from a height of one foot - now take a 2kg weight and drop it on your toe from the same height" - Feel the difference? - Now that's the difference between .117 cal pellet & .22 cal pellet!!!

Brihacharan

Nice explanation especially that drop weight on your toe thing ...

can you please tell me about fps ... is it a unit to measure power delivered ... please brief on this too

You mean ihp 35 .177 cal covers 10m more range than a .22 cal? i've ordered National .22 cal from Aimco.. i thought both the rifles cover the same distance thats why i opted for the .22.... for me range matters more than the power it generates.... and is there any difference in the size of ihp .22 and .177??? kindly advice me guys.... my order will be shipped tomorrow... so should i go .22 or change my order to .177???

Just got an IHP 35 0.22, ordered from Aimco. Thanks to the IFG forum for saving me money and enabling me to order a decent air rifle from an excellent supplier. Aimco shipped the air rifle, GSmith Pellets that i ordered, and a complementary pack of Aimco pellets securely packed in a wooden crate. I was really impressed with the care that was taken in packing the rifle and the pellets. Since I ordered the pellets along with the rifle, Aimco reduced the shipping cost of the pellets. I would definitely recommend Aimco any day.

Here is a pic of the rifle:

I already have a Beeman R9 and RWS Diana 350 Magnum, both in 0.177 Cal. The finish of this rifle doesn't quite compare to either. I wasn't expecting that either. Just wanted to have a 0.22 cal air rifle for plinking when I can't take my Beeman or Diana.

I hope to post reviews of the IHP when I take it out into the field and have a chance to shoot a few pellets.

Nash, depends on what you want to use the rifle for. A 0.177 rifle is ideal for target practice and has a flatter trajectory. The 0.177 pellets are smaller and weigh less than the 0.22 pellets. Since the 0.177 weighs less, it has a longer range that the 0.22. Since you say "for me range matters more than the power it generates", I would suggest you go for a 0.177.

Hi Guys,

Got my very first air-rifle y'day. IHP N 35 0.177 with Diana shot pellets. Gun looks great, feels slightly heavy and all fittings very tight. Unfortunately I am not really impressed with accuracy so far ... out of 20 shots fired, around 5-7 went off the card from a distance of 10m. However, test conditions were not really ideal; I was shooting on my terrace where the monsoon winds were blowing hard. What I feel so far ….
• Seems like the barrel is a little skewed to the left, i.e if you keep staring at the gun from a rear angle, the barrel after the break seems to be very very slightly pointing left vs the piston section (I hope I’m not hallucinating)
• Sights are not really nice, I need to learn how to zero the gun (will be going through posts on IFG if any), but I have had to adjust the rear sight to the extreme right in order to align the central notch to the barrel bore. If I keep the central notch absolutely in the center of the sight’s center marking, it lands up being slightly to the left of the bore. The front sight is fixed, so when I look at the point on the front sight through the notch on the rear sight, the point seems to be to the left
• I think the gun needs chamfering as dwipen has done; the pellets sometimes obstruct the closing of the barrel. Many pellets have their skirts sticking out and get deformed when I shut the break-barrel
• Not quite sure how good Diana shot pellets are, some fit so tight that they remain where they are even after I fire

I am sure I need to learn a lot more about the gun, but do let me know if any of you have faced the above problems, or if it is normal to not have a new gun that’s perfect. I thought IHP was a quality weapon, but I guess the dealer was right when he said that if I was looking for accuracy I should buy German weapons and not Indian makes

I hope to show the gun to someone at the range to get an expert opinion since I am not sure of trusting my judgment given lack of experience

Hi Dara. Seems like you have some probs that should not be. Request for a replacement if the barrel is really bent. Push pellets in as far as possible. Check if target sheet is tearing well. Maybe there is a leakage which is not pushing pellets properly. Also try to check if pellets of other brands have the same prob. The pellets getting struck could well be because if the bent barrel.
