Semi, braced. Got a ssr90, first aeg, and Im not that impressed (Until now always used a boltie). 2 foot diameter grouping (at my club's range, had a spotter downrange for sighting and marking) Maybe my expectations are high

.32's, stock spring and everthing, shooting at 1.65 J

I'd look at lapping the barrel, ensuring the inner barrel and hop are stable, ensuring the nub is stable, and consider changing the bucking to a 70* 2021 Maple Leaf.

After that, all that would be left is gearbox stuff.

Does 2' @ 60 yards sound about right tho for good out of the box?

 

[SiliconeSword]

That sounds a little bad, but still useable.

You could maybe get 1 or 1.5 foot groups, but I wouldn't expect more without crazy mods and heavier BBs.

Today I was getting a lot more dings with on approx a 12" by 18" cooking pan at 35 double paces (so maybe 170-190').

I had to go to my home field and fix/pu equipment. I just grabbed a gun, mags, and PC and went after it and played a round using my mp5.

Was hitting about 130-50, but the highlight was going into a new cqb building and clearing it out to get the objective at the end.

Was a little hot. Reasy for cooler weather!

Cheers ,

2ft is like 60cm? 60cm grouping at 60m for 0,32 is not bad.
How people are spoiled these days, when I started you're lucky if an ootb gun does that at 30m. But anyways a good barrel and bucking cleaning is good practice.

Ha, glad I didnt get on board then, sounds frustrating. Guess I'm used to the boltie, but still wanted to make sure I'm getting what I pay for. Loving the p90, so much easier to handle and isnt bad to carry both

Honestly, as soon as you mention "stock" then remove any expectations of stellar accuracy - The SSR90 is by no means terrible, but achieving the sort of accuracy you're hoping for is going to require a lot of tuning. With that said, 60cm isn't dreadful......and it does give you a lot of scope for improvement. 1.65j is firmly within the middle of DMR territory for most sites near me (and indeed, the majority of the UK) and in my experience, I would be hopeful of the sort of performance that would see every BB hitting a sheet of A4 paper at 60m at least.

It seems things fall off quite rapidly after that unless youre shooting heavies. Betweem 60y and 70y the group widens some 3+ feet if I had to guess (but havent shot enough at the range yet to say fo sure)

It's that delicate balance of power, weight, environment......but 3 feet dispersion over 10 yards is perhaps a bit cynical ;-) For any given distance my definition of "effective" is "able to hit a man-sized torso 10/10 times" which equates to around 18" x 30", and a lot of the time I have found that the BB simply drops out of the air before I reach the point where I'm missing the target - unless the wind is being particularly contrary.


Most of the time a decent inner barrel and bucking is all that's required to leverage the potential of a given RIF so generally, those are the things I upgrade first and then only after some games will I make further alterations.Caveat: If I had the luxury of higher limits, I might not be so quick to take guns out of the workshop but over here, it doesn't take much to put the average gun over the field limit

I'll play around on the archery range this week further with my ssr90 and also with my brothers vfc avalon stock and his r-hopped elite force hk416. So I'll get to see whats up.
My prediction: moving from 60 to 70 yards puts it towards the upper limit of aeg range and shot consistancy will suffer exponentially past that range
