Snowpeak M60B First Shots

Finally got out to the farm to test shoot this M60B. I used 4 pellets: AirArm 18gr, JSB 18gr, Hades 16gr and AirArm 16gr.

The Hades shot the best group out to 50 yards. The rest of them were not as tight group. But I wouldn't rule them out just yet. Maybe with some minor adjustments to the Reg/HS, one of them might shoot better.

With the Hades 16gr, the average velocity was 857 fps,32.2 ft.lb. I was able to get a 3/4" five shots group out to 50 yards. Of course I stopped my testing at the point because I didn't want to ruin the moment. Rest assure that I will do more groups on the next outing.

Since my HW100T was leaking and out of commission, I am using this M60B as my rat shooting gun with the Pard008 LRF night vision scope. I will be out at the farm to find some volunteers rats to block the Hades as soon as the weather is cleared. Too much rain as of late.

What was my thought after this first outing? This gun can shoot well with the right pellet and with some minor tweak to the Reg/HS, it has the potential to shoot even better. Can it be compared to my FX Impact MK2? I think it might come close in terms of accuracy out to 50 yards, possibly longer ranges. I will find out next time. It is not built like an FX, but for the price and its potential to shoot sub MOA, it is definitely an affordable alternative PCP to own and have fun with.

I will continue to test and push its limit and see what kind of groupings I will get with different projectiles, including slugs.

Enjoy.
