    I agree that the Eliminator would be a better choice.

    I think you misunderstood my point, which was that: that the shop owner wasn't lying, but that the HW90 is not ideal at 25ftlb.

    Just befor you tested this gun had you consumed a large amount of alcohol or taken any illegal substances.

    Just to add a little to the above- I 'knew' of a hw90 full length that made around 24 ftlb was very consistant but did eat trigger parts on a regular basis.
    However at 18 it was a much nicer gun if a tad non lightweight scoped and silenced.

    Just clocked mine today and it's doing 650fps with Bis mags, bit heavy but all i had to hand.
    This is an early TB90 and all original.

    That's pretty fair for bisley type pellets, 20ftlb. I would expect a bit more with a 14/15gn pellet and smoother shooting.
