I agree 100% with what you’ve said, I’ve always taught the kids shooting using air rifles as a starter because it’s a transferable skill. If you can learn to shoot an air rifle accurately then there’s nothing you can’t shoot, as you have to learn the best trigger control and follow through. And hunting with an air rifle really teaches field work the best way I’ve ever seen!
This is exactly the problem I have with my DRS and after trying different pellets I too thought I'd settle on the JSB Heavies. There's lots of chatter about the AMP reg being poor quality, the seals being week and even the hammer spring. Coming from a HW100 for 4 years this comes nowhere near so far so I will persist as I am starting to find it as entertaining as it is frustrating. Thanks for all your input, I'm a plinker not a hunter and shoot max out to 70 mtrs but zero at 30. Good luck.
Thanks Chris! Glad you enjoy this type of shooting/video as well! I do like watching your videos.
I feel that 75 meters is quite a long stretch for a .177 sub-12 but interesting to try just to see what happens.
You shooting the DRS and commenting in the velocities gives me an idea about the PCPs consistency. I'm getting a .22/600 FAC and everything will be different. Think that the (Panthera) valve design is more "comfortable" operating at at higher power settings.
I'm not into ballistic calculators - it's DOPE all the way!
I like experimenting/testing as well. My approach is to start close and move the target back 5 yards at a time watching how the groups disperse.
Fun stuff!
Cheers!
My Mrs was rooting for you, she's got one and loves it, only got access to 55mtrs at our range, and the accuracy at that distance is quiet commendable, loved the vid, as did the Mrs.
Nice video. I find the 10.34s start to struggle beyond 65 yards in sub 12. The Bisley Magnums are much more accurate at that range. Definitely worth trying a tin. 👍
I shoot out to a 100yards with my .177 sub 12 pathfinder at hey lane air rifle range in Huddersfield the wind is a big factor when doing this
My .22 Impact M3 will hit a golf ball at 100 yards. I’ve video’d it on my Zulus so have the proof for any doubters 😂
Great video Chris, shows how it is generally and not just showing the 1 in a hundred group that fits under a 5p piece. Like you I love getting into the ballistics to try and understand what is happening, I have found that sub 12 rifles are very suseptable to the slightest changes. The slightest breath of air affects them the further out you go, left or right even from behind or in front can lift up or push the pellet down. Using pellets straight from the tin also, there will be slight differences in weight and slight deformaties. Some elude to using faster lighter pellets to "beat" the wind but I have not found this to be the case, you just need to shoot a correctly zeroed .22 next to a .177 to check that out and the .22 is less than 600fps. I think your Chrono should be using the GA drag coeficient which is recommended for air rifle pellets, it can make a difference of 2-3 clicks at 70m (14-21mm)
Also to help those dialing their Mil type scopes. At 100m 1 click equals 10mm, at 80m its 8mm at 50m its 5mm and so on. Therefore if you are 40mm (4cm) off the mark at 50m range then you need 8 clicks to bring it back (40/5=8) simples 🙂
I’ve got the drs in .22,using the sak moderator too,also have a crown mk2 in .177,and a hw110 in .22,the drs for me is an awesome rifle,so light and it shouldered perfectly
Excellent rifle, the wife swears by hers, damn good on HFT corse anawl
I hunt rabbits between 65 and 85 yards and been doing it for 4 years successfully in sub 12. you just gotta know your stuff and have the right kit. you cant use dropping grass for wind with sub 12 air guns at those ranges, it's not sensitive enough. You need either very light thin cotton or chalk. a 0.8mph breeze makes a huge difference at those ranges. The elevation correction is because the wrong drag function was being used, it's not G1, it's GA.
Im sure you do
hi i got my drs 2 weeks ago in .22 and i found if you tighten the stock screw up to 6nm of torque it then made the groups shrink by 3/4 mills and i also set the trigger up too a single stage with very light let off. Now taking squirrel eyes out at 30 yards with ease as long as you do your part right. And i've changed the mag for a 3D printed set witch i think has also helped a lot.
More of a rimfire kinda guy but I’m getting this
Hw 77 will do better all day long 👍🏻
Brilliant video Chris I wonder how a sub 12 ft-lb .22 would have faired with a slightly higher bc pellet.
Great video. My HW100 in 177 likes the 7.87g Air Arms Diabolo Express. I believe these are the same as JSB Diabolo Exact Express? They've shot some very tight groups out at 70yd plus. There's not much on UA-cam about testing lighter weight pellets, though! The trend is heavy pellets or slugs but I've found speed to be key in 177. Is this something you could test Chris? At 815fps, they also appear less affected by wind. I'm not sure if it's the reduced time of flight, meaning the wind has less time to have an effect? They’re also a very effective hunting pellet at sub 12ft/lb hunting distances.
very interesting. How about hw97 test at 75yds
I do actually own one but it's nothing like as accurate at any distance in my hands
Think I'll pass on this rifle
Hi Chris I was just wondering if your drs rattles when giving it a shake sounds like hammer spring rattling.
pellets have a lot of spare space in the magazine
@chrisparkin431 sorry Chris that's without the mag!
@@robincormie855 was the bolt shut?
@@chrisparkin431 yes
Shame, I was quite excited when i saw this at the shooting show but everything I've seen so far seems to suggest it's really not particularly accurate.
Im Not sure which ideas you are watching but i have made several videos on it and an very impressed for a sub 12 in sub 12 reality
I've seen alot of people saying the same as you said its a shame as it looks great
Aiwa 😘💕👍👍
Look that at 75 ..reg showing bit issue there..looks that its not contistant at all. Or fx have huge quality problem.
@@marcinrozmus-gq3hx sorry I don't understand your comment
Get your self an agt
@@garethlinford5785 i dont buy any guns
Any chance do fac
It's on order but retail buyers are in the queue before writers and video makers. The DRS has been very popular
Ok thanks keep up the good work great reviews
Chris, I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I am always playing around with ballistics, and yes, .260 rem, .223, or rimfire, would make short work of it, but airguns/springers are challenging and fun. Thank you for taking the time and sharing the adventures. Take care!
FX really suck tbh I've not seen any of there rifles shoot constantly and accurately, the crown I had was like a shotgun in terms of groups all over the shop
Are you sure it's the rifle? My Crown typically shoots sub 3/8" groups at 40 yards - if I do my part.
@@hankvana2149 yes it's the Rifle, it's the worst one I've ever shot. my bsa r10 would be pellet on pellet
@danielcooper175 Strange Daniel. From my experience (with a couple of Crowns and several other FX PCPs (using the same barrel system), they shoot consistently well. Per your description, I'd be giving the rifle a detailed check making sure that all was as should be - including the magazine and moderator (if equipped). Sorry to hear of your bad experiences.
