Benjamin Marauder .22 PCP Airgun ATN X-Sight Day-Night scope accuracy testing

Finally got the new ATN X-Sight 3-14 power Day-Night scope sighted in and accuracy testing with different pellets.
See the below pics and videos for shots of how to setup the ATN scope and accuracy testing filmed with the in-scope video cam.

First, let's start off with a pic of the top of the ATN scope.

Specs of the rifle:
Benjamin Marauder .22 PCP Air Rifle
ATN X-Sight 3-14 Day/Night Scope
JSB Diablo Pellets, 18grain, 960fps = 36fpe
40 Yards target accuracy test
10 shot group less than 1 inch
Started at 3,000psi after 20 shots 2,000psi left, another 10 shots available before starts dropping off at 1,500 psi

Below is the pic from the right hand side. Note the custom cover and power cord going back to the battery pack and case (from ATN).
Standard 4AA batteries will work, but run out in less than 2 hours use. You will want to either buy the battery pack like I did, or purchase special AA rechargeable batteries (check ATN blogs for details).

Below is pic from the left side. Note the infrared light mounted to the side (came with the scope) for night shooting. It's not too bad. Definitely works well within the 20-75 yard range of the this .22 caliber pellet rifle. It's fairly cheap to upgrade to a streamlite or higher power model if you plan to shoot from a centerfire rifle out to longer ranges.

Note the scope mounts. This took me quite a while to figure out. I had to attach a Dovetail-to-Picatinny converter, then a 20 mil elevation shim mount (normally used by long-range shooters) to get the proper alignment. Both are available from Pyramid Air. If you've never installed a Dovetail-to-Picatinny before, be sure to watch other training videos on it. I broke two of them before getting installed correctly. (Who would've thought you had to remove the screws and install from the opposite side?!) Also be sure to mount the bottom mount far enough back for the magazine to fit!

Below is the full setup on the portable shooting bench. The bench spins around 360 degree circle and folds up for easy transport, weighs only 35 lbs. Love it!

Ok, now for the shooting tests.
First, we start off with in-scope video at 20 yards. Ignore the couple of pre-shot strings on the far right, top right was shot with smaller 14.3 grain crossman pellets. This weapon definitely prefers the 18grain JSB Diablo that the rest of the groups were shot with.
The bottom two right targets are each quite nice 5 shot strings I shot as adjusting the sights for this test, one being only about a quarter inch. Be sure to look at the actual holes, not the shoot-n-see target splatters on the edges.

Below is the Target pic up close (Center target). Nice group less than an inch.

Here is in-scope video of the next group at the lower left of target (again 20 yards, scope zoomed to about 6x).

And here is closeup of resulting target (bottom left). A single hole, little over half an inch CTC.

So, after having a decent sight in at 20, it was time to move to 40 yards.
Here is the in-scope video of the first group. Notice I was aiming center and how high the rounds hit. I was surprised. From what I've been reading, a 20 yard zero should also result in the pellet arch dropping back down to be zero'd again at 40 yards. This was obviously not the case as all shots hit about 2 1/2 inches high, but grouped nicely under an inch.

Here is the close up picture that shows a nice group at 40 yards, again under an inch. But not where I want it!

I adjusted the scope using the "one-shot zero" function and then shot this group. This function works very well, and I ended up later making just a couple minor tweaks before saving the profile. I ended up leaving the rifle zero'd at 40 yards, as the reticle view then lets me sight halfway down for 30 yards and at the bottom of the spike for 20. I haven't tested beyond 40 yet, but that will just be gravy as I expect most shots to fall within the 20-40 range.

Here is close-up of the final group at 40 yards. I did a little more fine tuning off camera, and verified the other ranges at my new zero.

I think I'm ready for some varmint shooting, what do you think?
Upvote and follow for some upcoming in-scope night hunting videos. I have a friend with a farm and some barns.
Rats beware!
