    Could be a "Marmite Gun", love it of loath it but it makes a refreshing change from all those well used "Weihr-Arms", mine included !

    Update.
    Had the Airking at the range today with the Pro Air scope, Dampa mount and JSB Express 4.52 pellets.

    Reduced the distance to 25 yards and pretty quickly I was achieving 8mm groups.

    I've now put approximently 600 pellets through it and it appears to be settling down nicely.

    Still not easy (for me) to cock but I'm adapting. However its really great to shoot !
    No regrets, I love this air rifle !

    I put a QD stud/front stock screw on mine today so I can fit a bipod.

    Now I just need a bipod.....

    Good the hear you are getting on with yours BR, I'm chomping at the bit to get mine to a range. Just have to wait to get insured on my mums car before I can be mobile again (sold mine recently as I was only driving every other week).
    Did you find that 4.52s were a bit easy to feed into the bore btw? I thought they might be on mine when I was chronying the other day. Was considering if it might be worth picking up a tin of 4.53 before I go out with it?


    TB, is the QB stub going to be a replicable product or is it just a one off...? And any news on that mod adaptor?
    Good deals with these members

    The 4.52's load fine and hold in the breech when the rifle is held vertically during loading ! This is important as smaller pellets may drop out into the loading chamber causing some "awkward fiddling" trying find them ! Having said all that, 4.51's held ok though, just !
    Take 4.53's though as they wearnt half bad in mine !

    Always bearing in mind, folks, that those sizes as stated on the tins mean nothing.
