I saw the stock for sale on SC's. Did Evelio do the work?

Yes. The stock was pillerad He did the bedding. Shoots great. Has about 150 rds through it. I got some 1/2 inch 50yd groups off of a couple large sand bags using Agulia rifle match.

I was happy with that. Rest was not ideal and cheap ammo.

Its a different animal. I still cant beat my off hand scores that I get with my Rem 513t

Once you've found some decent ammo, it's time for practice, practice and more practice. Dry-fire and live fire.

I have a good variaty of quality match ammo. I need to have a day to test the gun.

The Aguli match at 3.49 per box will be go to offhand practice ammo.

One day you'll be able to spot your own shots.

Im struggling with the 2 stage trigger. The light weight of the gun is also causing me problems. I guess i just need more time with it.

There ain't no shortcuts. Natural Point of Aim and practice, practice and more practice. RELAX.

And calling the shot is different then seeing the shot.

Im sure I call my shots. Im pretty good with a pistol. IDPA master and just started USPSA at 74.812%. I can tell what I shot with the Rem 513t before I look through the spotting scope.

I have been shooting Airguns for a few years. I have been shooting with the scope set at 20x. Going to a 25x fixed power is harder than I thought. This gun is different in almost every aspect. Im sure with practice I will get better.

My best A-23 target @ 50yd with the 513 is 224. The best I have done with the 1712 is 218 and most coming in around 210. I have a problem with fliers in the 6 or 7 ring. My wobble zone falls apart sometimes.
