How accurate is the awesome new Air arms XTi50 field target air rifle?

- pellet testing some known good batches of jsb,fx and qys pellets through the new XTi50.
i'm a fortnight into owning it and starting to really get the hang of it now. the performance out the box is fantastic and as soon as the weather improves i will get into some more detailed batch testing,including with the new h&n 8s
it really is proving easy to shoot and get some really decent performance out of.
i failed hard try a benchrest target, it was fun but alot harder than it looks...
the scope is an optisan cp hft but i will swap it over to the discovery ed prs scope shortly for an increase in magnification.
ive shot it hft prone and did a few kneelers on film, i need to practice more! - Спорт
Great video Tommy, looking forward to see what you can do with it at BR. 👍
Great video, Tommy.
It’s looking fantastic. 👏👏👏
Cheers mate, I'm starting to get the hang of it now, its been a very easy transition from the 9015.
The hft prone and kneelers are a struggle still as can't hold it very well still,but not too shabby to start with😉
Great vids mate, really enjoy the content and the info you put out.
Thanks for watching mate, I'm still learning about the filming and editing but hopefully the content is useful and fun 😉
H+N barracuda 8 s are brilliant, i bought a tin 2 weeks ago and was that impressed with them i went back the next day and bought another 7 tins, best pellet ive used 👍
Love your content and enthusiasm.
How is Peter the Goat!
He's just as mischievous as ever. I've some footage from the other day, he was rummaging around the xti trying to eat my targets 😆
It'll be in the next video..
Thanks for watching and being a part of the channel, I really appreciate it 😉
Awesome bud cheers 👍🏻
One of the best air rifles in the world and it has an Optisan CP on top! Excellent 👌🏾
😂
An amazing rifle.
Very impressive. I would have thought the ZAN slugs would have been a better bet than the knock Outs with your past experience with them. Lovely rifle though, but then again it should be for the money. Missed the goat and the geese 😂👍
Hi mate, I've got some zans here for a slug test in time in the xti. I had the MK1 jsb slugs here and was just curious mainly, hence they just got a mention and not made the final edit.
I actually dug out the old cards with the jsb slugs and the xti was slightly better than the Anni barrel with the same ammo. I hope the MK2 jsb slugs are better still.
Good vid, where did you get the shooting mat?
Flabbergasting!!!👍👍👍
Very interesting airgun rifle
How much im here in the pillipines
I smell a challenge in the air. I also heard the 10 mag comment. Once you’ve taken the training wheels off come and find me :-)
I mean how hard can it be, with your rifle clamped to a rest that weighs as much as a small car?
😆
I would have allowed at least 20 shots to re-lead the barrel after cleaning it. Notice how your groups got tighter the more lead you put down it.
Great video mate. Looks like a great rifle. Not sure, but is this rifle actually regulated by AA? Love the video mate.
Yes mate, it has the same factory fitted reg as the regged ultimate sporters. Works great in the xti so far and has been used successfully in the sporters for a few years now😉
👍👍👍
Glad it’s not just me that struggles with the br targets! My eyes hurt after a bit. What did you paint the barrel with to please?
Some of the recent targets are really hard to focus on 🧐 the funky coloured ones I find even worse..
Halfords finest etch primer and their ultra Matt black from the camo range on the barrel and cheek piece😉
@@tillysgunstocks ahhh nice one thanks
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but to clean the barrel do you have to remove the air stripper, not really been shooting that long.
How have you fitted the bipod on, is it on the hamster or rail at front.
Vid was nice, although I did immediately see a big problem with your setup, The manual specifically state Not to mount a bipod onto the hamster mechanism but to use the stock mounted rail for such uses, I would suspect your groups would be tighter without lateral movement from the hamster.
Hi Dave, yep you are correct about cobbling the bipod onto the hamster mech. My little picatinny bipod adapter is a touch too long for the uit rail up front in the stock. I'm working on a solution for that, I don't know if you will notice but I've fitted a packing piece for the moment between the front wheel of the riser mech and the stock to spread the load directly to the stock, that's why the gap between stock and hamster is slightly enlarged for the moment 😉
It does group marginally tighter too when shot off a soft front bag over the current bipod setup. But with my hand as it is,I'm struggling to support the rifle upfront without the bipod on
Cheers

What’s that metal target called Tilly? And does it come with reducers? Would be great for practice!
The targets he uses is one of his custom builds. He has a video how to build it
@@geotra9177 thank you!
The metal one is a cheap biathlon target. It comes with various size reducers. It's rock solid 😉
It's obviously very good but other than the stock adjustability, i dont see how it's any better than a ftp900, ev2 or hft500.
Well reality is we are probably at peak air rifle now. The consistency of most the high end stuff now is just incredible. We need advances in pellet tech to really push the boundaries of our sport nowdays.
It's a viable proposition if you are in the market for a 9015/Steyr. And you won't have to void the warranty to make it work in the UK weather.
It'll be great to see them hit the br circuits in time, especially with the alutec and action only options to follow.
I'm very happy so far and it's only getting better and easier to shoot as I'm becoming more familiar with it 😉
@@tillysgunstocks I agree, it's already winning in hft comps and also interested in its BR capabilities. Keeps the vids coming. Great if you could somehow organise a vid to compare either all the top range air arms together, or anschutz vs walther vs air arms, vs fwb.
Like most other rifles from reputable manufacturers.
The limiting factor to accuracy of the rifle is the meat sack holding it.
I can’t believe how long it takes a pellet to get to the target.
Yeah lol it's a mission syncing the GoPro and phone footage.. the muzzle blast flares up the GoPro footage so it's tricky..
How much
Matt will take the piss 😄
I'm sure he will😆.we might have to have a little competition, pare it back to more basic rests etc.
He will win anyway, he's using the best br stocks in the business
Very impressive but the horse in the background at 8 1/2 minuets didn't thinks so.
The horses are insane😆
One day you can be right alongside them and they don't bat an eyelid, the next day they won't walk past a sketchy looking feather on the ground...😂
Why do you prefer high mounts?
It effectively closes up the aim points for the longer shots. Trade off is more holdover at the very closest ranges but for typical longer ranges it's well worth going up a bit 😉
Just under 25/yards right
By the wooden door, just under 25.
Over the sand,45yds prone ,35kneel😉
Well.... I dont think it shoots 8 x better than my £350 Hatsan or 4 x better than my HW 100. I might be wrong but then I dont have the bragging rights on how much I spent to shoot a hole in a paper target at 25 metres or a knock down target a 30 Go back to the mid 80's when field target was just that, field guns at field targets not this modern day high price mine is better than yours nonsense !
