Beeman sh 1000 came today
« on: August 18, 2006, 10:03:23 PM »
The box said told of a less than perfect trip. They seem to be well packed as the gun appeared to be fine.  I cleaned the bore and went out side and put 40 shots through it. 8 groups of five. I had six different types of pellets. Only the ones i could find locally. It seemed to like the gamo magnnums the best.  I will run that test again later. I was shooting from only 12 yards, off of a very unstable rest.{a stack of empty buckets} and I had the forend resting on a block of wood. The best groups i could cover with a nickle, and the worst one was strung out verticley about 1 3/4" the gun twithes when you shoot it and this acounted for the worst groups. i used my hand between the block of wood and the forend to deaden some of this effect. My form needs some improvment. I am going to clean the bore once more and shoot a couple hundred shots through it and adjust the scope. it came with a 3x9 and it is holding center well so far. but i am right and low so i will adjust that too. As soon as i am sure it is solidly mounted.  then i might set up on a table with some bags and see if that helps any. At this time i will say i like the feel and fit of the gun and it wieghs as much as any gun i use. it looks good to,at least to me. I will report again once i know something.  D.C.
