It’s a muzzleloader, so all you have to do is tilt the muzzle up and drop one in. Once the BB reaches the breech, it’s held in place until fired. Oh, and the muzzle is a funnel – the opening is about ½-inch in diameter so you won’t have to fumble around getting the BB in there. The professionals use a wooden dowel to seat the BB precisely the same way each time. Shooting a 5.1 grain Daisy Match Grade BB, I measured velocities using a chronograph. Shot to shot consistency was amazing – the first five shots measured within two feet per second of each other. The average speed of those BBs? How about 207.1 feet per second? For those of you energy geeks, that works out to 0.49 foot-pounds. Not exactly ideal for small game but it does a great job against regulation paper targets. The front sight is an aperture rather than a post. Again, purpose built for accuracy competition. I made a high-tech backstop consisting of a cardboard box filled with junk mail which worked great – with one exception. I wrapped portions of the box with clear plastic packing tape to keep it closed. When a BB would hit that tape, it would often bounce back rather than penetrate. Actually, “bounce back” might be a slight exaggeration. Don’t worry I was careful to pick them all up at the end of my session so when my wife returns home she (hopefully) won’t find any stray BBs in the den! The BB would dribble back towards me and make it about halfway to my position. Using the official NRA 5 Meter BB Gun targets, I zeroed this BB bazooka using the rear sight adjustments. Once I did, every shot landed in the ¾-inch bullseye with regularity as long as I did my part. Since we’ve challenged Editor Roy of American Handgunner and Guns Magazines to a blood sport postal match using these fine little rifles, you can bet I’m going to be embarking on a customization journey to get every bit of advantage that I can. Think my spouse will mind if I melt lead in the garage? Stay tuned for more on the upcoming American Airgun Warrior cage match… We plan to humble that fire and brimstone gun guy.Gun Review: The Trailblazer LifeCard. When I was a boy, I remember going to the local hardware store with my brothers where we each forked over a quarter and a dime for a box of fifty. This expenditure of part of our hard-earned allowances enabled us to enjoy an afternoon of plinking with our single-shot rifles. 22s now cost more than they did back then (like everything else), most shooters can still afford them without endangering their family finances. King Of The Rimfiresįrom a shooter’s standpoint, one of the. 22’s biggest advantages is that it doesn’t make a lot of noise.
22 LR can be fired in areas where letting go a. 45 ACP pistol might result in irate neighbors calling the local police.
This also makes them especially practical for indoor shooting ranges. These firearms also produce almost zero recoil, making them perfect for teaching new shooters, and enabling experienced shooters to practice more often. 22 LR firearm is capable of extraordinary accuracy. Also, it’s no fluke that some of the most accurate competition rifles and pistols are chambered for this caliber.
