Moe Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 Last weekend when I went and tested my posted handguns, I also bench tested my new Annie. WOW, what a keeper. First 5 shot group at 50yds was .440, and got better from there. The best was .380.At 100yds, things got a little blurry because of the scope I mounted. I was using a Simmons 6.5-20 Whitetail Classic that just wouldn't focus for me at 100yds. The duplex reticle was way to thick for serious bench shooting. The best I could do at a 100yds was .800.The ammo was the Hornady 17gr.stuff. I will be testing some other ammo in the near future.The new scope I bought was a Bushnell Elite 3200 5x15. I will gladly give up some magnification for clarity anyday. The good thing is that if I am not totally happy with it, I can send it back to Bushnell within 1 year for a complete refund minus the sales tax.This rifle was pretty amazing right out of the box. With a little fine tuning of both the rifle and my bench techniques, I expect great things out of this Annie ! Goodbye squirrels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwillson Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 Moe,I believe this is the model you have? I look forward to hear about your groups when you get the correct scope.Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moe Posted December 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Took it out today with the new glass. WOW. After playing at 50yds with a couple of sub .2 groups, I went to the 100yd line. After adjusting the scope for a 100yds., the very first 5 shot group was .202. This is my first Anschutz but probably not my last. Ammo was Federal 17gr poly tip. Can't wait for a little better weather and a little less wind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwillson Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Moe,Can you show us a picture of the targets? I was at a Scheels in Iowa and saw a certified target from a Cooper .204 Ruger that looked like a single bullet went through it - seeing was just amazing.Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moe Posted December 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 I will as soon as I get my wireless Broadband back. I am now using my old laptop and piggybacking on my neighbors wirelees router. My desktop is useless without it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
