Did they nerf the .22?

[BearJohnson]

I shot two big gobblers center mass closer than 10 meters...
both bled "body hits" - both ran away, stopped bleeding and vanished.

ergh...

anyone else having trouble with the grasshopper?

Absolutly... cant believe it for first time... than i try from close range... i cant kill Turkey from 4m!!! https://www.thehunter.com/#profile/eras ... /645791417

I can't confirm this as I haven't tried the .22 Plinkington of recent.
However what I can confirm before with the .22 Plinkington any Turkey under 100m would drop and any Turkey over 100m would run a bit unless you shot at the neck or head.
These posts on the subject sound like a nerf to me.

Before pistol looks more powerful... You can easy kill flying Turkey over 70m (better accuracy than 22 Plinkington). Often i better spooke whole flock just to make sure to hit target and kill. Sometimes they fly 1-2s and than die but never... never when i hit, they recover from this... now they even calm down and unspooked walking around me.

22 Plinkington before i often use like silent assassin. Not sure if you talk only about 22 Plinkington but imho i often kill Turkey over 100m aiming only on body.

Here i have kills over 160m ... just 2-3sec. wounded time.

I bet this is now not possible... or its just pistol broken. Today i will try 22 Plinkington but i think result will be same. If not it will be huge nerf to this pistol. It will be sad bcz i take this pistol always with me.

both grasshopper and plinkington are useless atm ...
on the range the plinkington (with 2-6x26mm scope) is accurate till 40 meters , after that the bullets drop so far that they score zeros at 75 on the board and hit the ground at 100 meters ...
what used to be the 260 meters mark on the 12x50 scope seems to be the new 100 meters for the rifle o.O

Yes I think so!!
Last night I use it with Pheasant I CANNOT hit any at 70-75 with the 12x scope aiming the mid normal reticle, so I have to aim higher, 2nd and 3rd line bellow reticle and to the left, the length of 2nd line, the Air Rifle scope is more accurate than 12x with .22LR

The Plinky had a bug some time ago where it went fubar, then was fixed, it seems is the same bug that showed up again but now is affecting the .22 pistol too.

[HAR_GP]

Same problem here

[Templar1975]

I just tried out the Plinkington on Pheasants from a tower, can confirm its next to useless now, can confirm bullet was falling well short of usual and felt like I was shooting the .22Air Pellets not the .22LR as it should have been.

Shot a turkey from 28m with the Plinkington and it ran.
Next shot from 78m killed it. Needs a fix.
