.177 Predators in the 1701-P

Finally got a spare hour to sit with the "P" in carbine configuration with the Polymag Predators.

2600 psi in the tube, and the Predators clock tight, 462-468 fps over ten shots. Shot for group first, with the bore not conditioned to the predators... 12 meters, 4X, ten shots.

This LW bbl. seems to take a few conditioner shots to walk the p.o.i. back to zero. Gun and scope were sighted in for the JSB Exact Diablos. I can live with it. Scope is one of my old favorites~ early sixties Weaver B-4 4X.

Just another one of those shorty sessions that gave me an incredible sense of well being...

What's all that splatter to the left and above your target circle? :awink:

Time to turn the back-stop around. Most of it is 5 shot groups out of the hpa'd 78 in .22 cal. There's 8 layers of rubber backed stain-master carpet in there... and I have it on good authority that it don't take that many .22 predators to pass through all the way~ just a minor irritation with a tight grouping cheapie chinese rifle :icon_mrgreen:

I'm thoroughly intrigued with this pistol. The manual that came with it references it as a marauder pistol twice... and I've been fighting this urge to base another build off of it... and then when I'm almost decided to proceed with testing, I can't find the time. :icon_rolleyes:
