Longest Distance shot with a Springer

[00satendra]

Hi All,

I am really keen to know the longest distance shot with a springer and the kind of groupings (let's say for 5 or 10shots)

1. With Iron sights, or
2. With Scope

It will be great to see the pics of the targets, kind of pellets used, standing/bench rest position etc.

For all those (including me) who have not tried to test the limits of their AR, this would be a worthy attempt and task for the following weekend.

Hoping to see some stunners.
The idea is not to evoke any competition but willing to get some tips and tricks from someone who is doing it right and doing it time and again.

Cheers
SK

With which Springer ? Indian or Imported ?
And what distance do you consider the longest ? Especially for Indian Springers ?

Dear GNV,

I own an Indian Springer, more keen on knowing about potential of Indian ARs but would be glad to see performance of imported ones as well.
I believe the effective range is around 40-60 mts. IDK if someone has also hit at 90-100 mts consistently.
Let's keep the threshold to be 110mts.

We used to plink with springers between 30 to 50 yard range and could hit beer can sized targets with relative ease using the Nx100 in 22. Never had much luck hitting anything beyond 50 yards. But that maybe my short coming more than the rifles. Grouping with the Nx100 rested was less than 2 inches at 30y. Never tried to group beyond that distance with any springer or gas ram.

There is a youtube video of the airgungearshow guys hitting a 2 inch exploding target at about 200 yards with a sub 12fpe spring air rifle. Ofcourse the holdover was crazy and they took quite a few shots to figure it out.

Personally the best i have been able to group is sub 1.5 inch at slightly over 100y with a piddly .22 air rifle. That wasnt a springer but was fun nonetheless.

I will try to post group at 40 meters with nx100 as I am visiting my farm house for few days.

What is the maximum range of sx100 orion?

Dear Maru,
This is indeed an amazing group.
I was told P10 is also a very good pellet.
Even though bench rested , this is not easy to come by.

Hi,

I have made 2 attempts with my scorpious nx100 rested on the bike. I had made a YouTube video of my first attempt to hit a beer cartoon at 70 MTS and I could hit the target consistently without much sweat although not with a great grouping. I had used Dyna shot Flathead pellets in the first video. I made another attempt this time with a 5 x 7 inch target with precihole precipel pellets and could hit the target 12 out of the 20 shots I took. Its pretty fun shooting at longer distances. I plan to test the nx100 scorpions at 100 MTS to test the limit's.

Regards,
SS

Dear Shirodkar4 ,
I could not manage to get pellet on target of 10*10 inch even once beyond 45 MTS. With my NX100 .177 with bench rest . Pellets used p10. Will try with precipell as soon I get a tin of it.

You have used a wrong pellet to test at that range try round heads like JSB exact.
20m is already the outer limit for flat heads so 45m is like captain kirk's "no flat head has gone before"
