Scorpion is a tack driver
« on: March 27, 2021, 02:20:52 PM »
I have a scorpion carbine and decided to get a pistol, too. I outfitted it with a brace and haven’t had much luck zeroing iron sights. It made me worry that the barrel needed tightening or reseating. Well, I installed a red dot and zeroed it at 25 yards last weekend. Then today I shot it at 50 yards and am astonished how accurate it is. My first shot at 50 yards was dead center; then I shot 2.5 inch groups, easily.
Just so impressed with this handy little gun. So much fun to shoot.

Have the carbine version.  Agree it is truly a tack driver.  Have multiple 5 shot groups with rounds touching.  Any flyers are me. Amazingly have yet to have a single round not feed and eject properly. Only issue I ever had was a bad reload with a swelled case. And only one of those in several thousand rounds.

I don't bullseye shoot my Scorpion Carbine but I do shoot it in IDPA competitions.    Today I finished first overall with zero down

I was impressed with this video of Rob Ski stretching the legs on his Scorpion.

Congrats OP on a fine acquisition.  Both of my carbine (Gen 2) and pistol (Gen 1) are similarly accurate.

This was done off sandbag and 115gr Sellier & Bellot - 25 yds.  I've used this carbine in PCC matches and shooting out to 200 yds using the same 1x prismatic without problems.

Went out and zeroed my UH-1 on my S2.  First 3 shots went through the same bullet hole at 25 yards with a bean bag.  Talking about the easiest zeroing ever.  Love the Scorpion and it's just such a joy to shoot.  Had to put it down after 250rds just realizing that ammos are hard to come by.

Yeah I’ve found it’s very easy to put 150-200 rds down range before I start recalculating the money equivalent!
