13xx arrived

[Bill in SC]

I stated 13xx because it evolved from a 1377 to a 1322, 24 inch barrel and LDC. I am just getting acclimated to it.  I came home for lunch and shot a 10 shot group at a 1 inch target at 10 meters from the bench, with 5 pumps. 5 of the 10 pellets found the same hole. I have found that the gun is so light that the slightest flinch at all will create misses. When I stay very still and follow through correctly, the pellets find the same hole! My next move will be to get a piece of that foam insulation folks wrap pipes with and wrap it around the top side of the skeleton stock. I've seen pics here of this. That will give me a better cheek weld and improve my accuracy with it. Shooting these light guns demands strict discipline. Target shooting this one should improve my overall shooting skills. I like ONE HOLE shooting and do it with a number of airguns and firearms. I love this little gem!! I will send pics of five shot one hole groups when I get it ironed out. I will also post a pic of the gun when I get a chance to get a good snapshot of it. Nothing special about it's looks. Kinda plain Jane with a long barrel and Crosman shoulder stock. I may also wrap the barrel with leather or something to protect it. It is skinny as a toothpick and I don't want to bend it by bumping it into something!  LOL

congrats!
remember to take a brief rest after pumping let the muscles relax
we all should like and want one hole shooting guns

Got to love these 13xx guns. Pretty amazing that something that costs this little shoots this good.

Thanks for the reply. Yessir, I strive for perfection. I think the gun has it in it. The trigger leaves some to be desired, and certainly contributes to inaccuracy. I may cut the "Long Tom" barrel off, or I may just buy another shorter barrel. Really loving all the aftermarket stuff and forum info pertaining to these guns! Thanks to you all!

Here's a picher!  ;-)

[bgmcgee]

Yup that looks like a fun one.

[1377x]

looks good!
is that a home-brew barrel band?

[Bill in SC]

I don't know about the barrel band. Everything came to me exactly like you see it except the foam pipe wrap on the stock. The band seems to work well though as there is no movement in that area.

I bet it does great at 20-30 yards also

Very nice Bill in looks like one of my old builds. Great shooter and yes 30 yards is no problem.
