Baikal MP-61 accuracy at 10m

10 meter distance shooting accuracy for Baikal MP-61 SPRING air rifle, uploaded by Rico, at May 17, 2018. Test ID: #30 (SPRING = Spring powered)

Average accuracy for tested MP-61 airgun is 1.1 cm (≈ 0.4 inch) horizontal and 2.1 cm (≈ 0.8 inch) vertical accuracy. Diagonal = 2.4 cm (≈ 0.9 inch) (from center-to-center of the hits). Tested distance was 10m. The details of test can be seen below shooter's description.

Scope: Gun was manufactured 1 year ago, bought today from shop, these testing 20 shots were in my first 40 shots with it. Indoor shooting from sitting on ground position, chair as rest. My opinion about this gun is: - the plastic is soft, tightening screws can eat into it, be careful - the front sight is not vertical, it leans to the left very visibly, quite a lot - before any rear sight adjustment it shoots 9.8cm to the right at 10m - before any rear sight adjustment (out of the factory) it shoots 5.6cm high at 10m
