Air Arms Xtra FAC S400 .22 with slugs

Posted by: @sonnysan

The AA guns have excellent triggers.  Why not slug them?  Started at 20 yards.  Initial sight-in with:

Ranking:

1.  H&N 23gr.

2.  Javelin 23gr.

3.  H&N 21gr.

4.  FX Hybrid 22gr.

Next round will be the top two at 30 yards.  Once I zero at this distance I can easily shoot 60+ yards using a half mil scope. 

Is that one of the old bolt action Fac extra?,kellt

@kdhope 

You are correct.  Forgot to mention these slugs did not do well either:

I have one myself in a beech stock, I did put a Lane reg in it years ago,kelly

This gun has now been converted from shooting Kodiak 21gr. pellets to NSA 23gr. slugs I had laying around untouched.  How would of thought?

Scope is an FX 3-12x44mm you can acquire for $100 used in cheapo $8 scope rings:

Five shot groups at 20 yards.  That flyer was me:

I thought maybe I can skip testing all the other slugs again a little further and try 5 shots @ 30 yards:

Success! 

@kdhope you should be one hole at 30 yds, good luck
