    i hope you're right with that price tag!!

    How about putting up the chrono figures for the 255 shots?
    Including max / min and standard deviation - so we can see how good the setup is??

    I don't buy the airgun comics........

    I didn't mean every shot velocity just the max / min and standard deviation over the 255 shots - its not being anal it shows how well the valve setup and regulator are working. Would be nice to know

    For £1200 i'd be expecting 2fps deviation or less!!!

    A quality gun I am sure...

    ...and boy what a bunch of glass 1/2 full, moaning, pee-on-ones fireworks people there are - blimey!

    Value for money is a tough thing to measure in a gun... that it shoots accurately and consistently are clear priorities. How it shoots, it feels, its put together - these are other measures. At the end of the day it's the purchaser who makes the call.

    ...and with respect but some of the "nicest" guns I have owned don't make for good chrono sheets buts still out-shoot most people most of the time!

    Of course YMMV.
    I think and therefore...... I refuse to steal someone else's quote to try to sound more erudite or profound than I actually am.
