Delfi Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 Hi all, I have a new toy ... a VSR GSPEC with a KA M3 sight and a bipod. The choice was based on reviews and advice given on this site. Now, bragging rights aside , how do I get this firing accurately? It fires 0.20's at 299fps out of the box which I understand is about right. I intend to use 0.25's with it. I need to find some way of getting the hop up and sight right. Which do I try to adjust first or do I try the lot in parallel? Is there a good procedure for this? TIA, D Link to post Share on other sites
Dusk Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 Hopup first, without sights make sure the bbs are flying a flat tragectory, then do scope settings. Otherwise if you do both at the same time your settings may be all wrong. Link to post Share on other sites
Delfi Posted November 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 Hi, I found hopup easy to sort out with auto AEG's, You use full burst mode ... this is not so simple with a single shot gun. Is there a simple way of doing this with the VSR? D Link to post Share on other sites
TheBauer Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 just time im affraid, easiest thing i find it try and hold the rifle level fire against a dark background (wood for example) then you can see the bb easier. put the hop to the middle and see how the bb goes, at 300fps you will be able to follow it, then adjust up/down as you see fit.

Delfi Posted November 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 Thanks for this guys ... What kind of range for 300 fps to be sure that the BB is flying flat with good hop? Also, is it possible to scale the hop (with the scope) against the range of the target? D Link to post Share on other sites
TheBauer Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 300fps with a .25 bb id say bout 30-35m before dropping off. id zero my scope at bout 15-20m with that total range. not sure what you mean by scaling the hop with the scope? Link to post Share on other sites

I was thinking that with a rangefinding mechanism the graduated hop on a VSR could be used, with a decent scope, to get greater (non linear) accuracy over a variety of (possibly longer?) ranges.

Staceh Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 the drop on the bb is so sharp that when it runs outta hop it pretty much goes straight down, trying to 'lob' shots onto targets is nigh on impossible. (imo of course) Link to post Share on other sites
sirrith Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 with a stock gspec and .25g, the hop will have to be set almost to the max, wrapping it in teflon tape will help, and will increase the fps slightly. you can do lob shots if you set your scope for it, however, the bb is likely to be affected by wind and other external factors at the end of its flight path, so it will be less consistant than 'normal' shots. to do this, just set up a target at around 40-50m, set your rifle on the ground, fire at the target in prone position, first with the rifle horizontal, then point if it doesnt get that far, point the rifle slightly up, keep doing til the bbs hit the target, then zero your scope. however, if you do that, you'll probably only be able to hit targets at that range, or you'll have to aim about 2ft lower on targets closer to you, so if you want extra range, i suggest a slight power upgrade to 1J, and a tanio koba twist barrel, or a PDI 6.05 tightbore (from my own experience, 6.05 gives me much more range than 6.03, but less accuracy) Link to post Share on other sites
Delfi Posted November 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 Thanks for this guys ... I've arranged for the following first upgrade to happen soon: 1x PS110 Spring 1x Trigger and Piston Sear 1x Spring Guide I've also arranged (and will pay for) for the fitting to take place whilst I'm there so I can learn ... I may well take some photos. I wish I could do the +1 thing but I can't yet. Link to post Share on other sites
Delfi Posted November 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Just a quick update ... the hop did have to be set to near max and, advice taken, I think the BB's are flying as straight as possible. The scope took a little adjusting but with a bipod that's a bit easier. I don't know if people know this printable target page but it's worth a look for some useful freebies. Tomorrow I get to shoot at some people and I'm confident that with my new radios and a spotter I can get a kill or 2. I'll let you know how it goes. Cheers again all for the good advice.
