Indians For Guns

After a lot of research and going through various posts on IFG i finally zeroed in on my first purchase...the canon lg 35 in .177 calibre...
Seems like the dearth of National has pushed up the price as the gun cost me 4000 bucks from Olympic who are the dealers here in kolkata...i didnt get mastershot pellets so i have to make do with the united shot which they gave me...will buy the mastershot ones wen i begin practicing next month at the range.

congrats brother.

I have a canon 35 too. Its good and behaves very well with P10 and MAstershot Wads in white tins.

max. Velocity????

@bdg- thanks a lot. But can you please tell me where do i buy the mastershot and p10 in kolkata?
@jignesh- no idea about the velocity as i dont have a chrono.

Harsh, thats a tricky question. Try J Biswas, Esplanade. They should have Mastershot Wads. It would be good if you can pick up the Mastershot Wads in White Tins. They are really good ones. I even use them on my imported one. If you are planning to do a lot of shooting, then order in bulk directly from Mastershot, Meerut. They will deliver you 12 tins of 500 pellets (not less than this) for about 2k. THe number to call is 0121-2656599. You can do an account transfer and they will courier the goods to you.

JBiswas used to have P10s but I guess they are currently out of stock.

Congrats on your purchase harashc
Please share some pictures. I tried to look it up but Google shows picture of cameras only.

P-10 are normally in short supply so they are hard to find..Best is to stock them when they are available.

Today i took the canon out for some few shots today. Paper targets werent available at Olympic so i had to make a plastic bottle as my target. Accuracy wasnt that bad as i missed a few in the beginning. However after some adjustment to the sights the rifle did well and i was hitting the desired positions even in windy conditions from around 10 metres. Maybe lack of complete accuracy maybe due to my own errors as i was using the gun fir the firs

Maybe lack of complete accuracy maybe due to my own errors as i was using the gun for the first time or maybe die the united shot pellets i was using. I hope to improve at the range next month after my exam. Here are a few pictures for fellow IFGians.

The velocity should be about 520 fps with a 8.2 grains pellet. It could increase if you tune the rifle professionally.

@BDG- sir i would request you to please guide me on the tuning part and how to improve the accuracy of the gun. Please PM me your contact details and i will get back at a convenient time.

Thanks,
Harsh

Bro- for that you need to go through the various posts in the forum. I really dont have much idea about tuning. You need to strip down the gun and the lube the internals and the main spring. But I have not done it myself hence have no idea.

Thanks a lot...will try and take the plunge myself...

You can get paper targets from http://www.targetz.com. You don't need to buy them. Just print them out and use them. You're going to have a hard time fine tuning the accuracy of your gun if you don't use it on paper. You're also going to have to shoot paper to see what kind of accuracy you have now, before you think of increasing the accuracy.
If you don't have a printer, just use a pen to put a dot on a sheet of paper. You don't need "official targets" to check accuracy.
