    Tempest .22 v Tempest .177

    Hi gang,I'm looking forward to getting a .177 Tempest soon(from Thai Jamie).I've already got a .22 version and I was wondering what differences in performance(if any) I'll notice?,apart from smaller holes in the target

    all the best,Porky/Keith

    slightly higher power in .22 and as it has a 5.6mm barrel they can be pellet fussy.

    happy days

    Well I received the .177 Tempest today from Jamie(a really smooth deal,very pleased) and have tried it in the garden.I don't know if it's because it's a new toy or whatever,but I seem to be getting better results than with my .22 I'm absolutely useless at shooting pistols, but I'm actually getting a few near the middle .......back to playing with me new toy now

    atb,Keith
