I was shooting an R8 this morning. Very accurate, I only tried Falcon pellets and they were doing one inch groups at 30 metres. Was also shooting well out to 70 metres. Seems strange peolple say they are not accurate when they are using Walther barrels that other airgun manufacturers also use. Using the term "monkey metal" is not very accurate. Nearly all PCP rifles I work on use an alloy for the receiver, not steel, just try a magnet on them. Only the barrels are steel. Some use aluminium alloy for the air cylinder which takes a lot of pressure.
