This is what I shot today.Never mind, I remember seeing it now. You also have .22

It will be close but I think you will be good. Mine is 13 1/2 and has some room to spare.Hope my scope isn’t so long it blocks the loading port. 14 1/2”
Thanks. My apologies for beating you to death with all the questions.It will be close but I think you will be good. Mine is 13 1/2 and has some room to spare.
If it’s air gun rated you’re good. Recoil is very light but the scope killer is that it recoils forward and backwards.How is the recoil? Does it seem like it will be a “scope-eater”? The Riton I have is supposedly air gun rated, but I’m not sure if that applies to springers.
Not a problem.Thanks. My apologies for beating you to death with all the questions.
Yes, I remember that - “dual recoil”. The Riton website says they are airgun rated and have a lifetime warranty.If it’s air gun rated you’re good. Recoil is very light but the scope killer is that it recoils forward and backwards.
PerfectNot a very good picture, but it seems like the reticle would be well suited for an air rifle.
Id like to go to extreme benchrest this year. Thats the route im taking anyway with my equipment and practiceMost of my powder burners are being sold .
I love air guns.
Check out Extreme Benchrest.
I shot the match in 2021 and I’m hooked !
My RAW 1000x is a tack driver .
The .22 is a better choice for hunting, makes a bigger hole, has more kinetic energy. The .177 heavy pellets have a higher ballistic coefficient and can be driven at a higher velocity with the same charge giving them a flatter trajectory. The sport of Field Target consisted of knockdown animal targets with 3/4" and 1" kill zones at unknown distances and was dominated by .177 rifles. I don't know if it still exists as a sport, look it up.I'm having a hard time visualizing any scenario where a .177 shoots flatter or kills better at longer distances than a pellet with twice the weight. What do you consider long range?
I looked up the extreme benchrest field target match, huge match, and not a 177 in the field period. They shoot from 30-80yds in the wind. No 177 in the 50 or 75yd benchrest results nor the speed silhouette match. All these matches are dominated by 25+gr 22calsThe .22 is a better choice for hunting, makes a bigger hole, has more kinetic energy.

Your welcome. I have two sets of air targets and my kids would shoot them in our backyard. Taught them home to shootI’m glad you posted that. I have a whole set of 1/5 scale silhouettes from many, many years ago when I competed in .22 rimfire matches. I’ll have to dig them out - had forgotten I had them.
