These are the first 12 shots through this rifle. The first three rounds are on the left target in the white to the right five ring. A quick eight clicks to the left and a few more shots beginning to scatter. Okay it’s 36 degrees and time to warm the rifle inside. Four more clicks left in a slow 30 minutes and I return to a new target.
The next four rounds were in the nine ring and the fifth and last shot was an eight ring. These are 75 foot targets that I was shooting at 60 yards so my groups appear about 20% better than they really are.

This rifle is a blast to shoot although it’s more like shooting pool than a firearm. What was nice about today was I could take an hour off and get to shoot for an hour.
I think these CO2 rifles and coming pistol are a hit!

Checked out I see it uses the same ones I have for my pistol.

Should be standard 12g cartridges.
Home run, for sure, with these CO2 guns, Gene. I may just get one of those QB78s for some indoor shooting over the winter.

Wow that is great Co2 performance in cold weather like that. I didn't think a Co2 rifle would work well at all at those temps.
I got a 2 12g conversion kit for my Walther Lever .177 pellet rifle so I don't have to use the large and expensive 88 g tanks and want to try that out soon.

Keep in mind the rifle was only out of the house 10 to 15 minutes at a time. I would set everything up and bring the rifle out at the last moment. I am amazed at how much fun these are to shoot. Just wait till the pistol gets here!
