THATS what its about in my book! ENJOYMENT.
I have to admit though (and i'm not an expert on figures and statistics at all) that 3.7 and 5.5fps variation over ten shots from spring piston air rifles sounds VERY impressive to me! i've a feeling it will be later in the year when i get the HW85 Vmached due to Steves waiting list but it will be great to fire it alongside my .177 Sidewinder. The HW85K is a .22.
