    At the same range my R-10 is making same hole groups the NP-02 is grouping about 2" (at 20 yds) in calm winds rested on a bean bag.

    I've cleaned the bore, tried Bis Mags, 3 sizes of JSB Exacts, AA Field, Falcon Accuracy plus, H&N and more and it shotguns. With and without moderator.

    I'm getting horizontal stringing. The crown looks OK to me.

    Gutted.
    I take that back:

    Another 50 or so pellets and another bore clean and it's shooting nicely with Bisley Magnums and JSBs.

    Happy boy, I'm growing rather fond of it

    I would remind current and future Kral purchasers that the barrels do require some serious cleaning when new. This will far improve the accuracy out of the box.

    Another tip to aid accuracy is to remove the 'O' ring in the front barrel support giving it more clearance to float. A 10 minute job. Its just a case of pulling the filler cover off, slackening two Allen screws and easing the bracket over the cover O rings. I removed the recessed O ring and relieved the hole slightly. It improved the accuracy of mine and a fellow club member did the same to his and we both saw an improvement in accuracy.

    I quite fancy one of these but I don't have a dive bottle. Is it feasible to top one up with a stirrup pump?

    Yes, if you're strong and fit!

    I use one on mine. It's hard work though! Bonus is, once filled it's a while before you need to do it again. I tend to top mine up without letting it get too low.

    Thats a fine looking gun and the price too, my cousin bought a Cometa orion a few months back, i think the Kral would have been a better choice from what ive read. Is it possible to double load this rifle?

    hello, just bought a second hand NP 02 in 177, what pellets have you found to be ideal for hunting ? trying some JSBs heavy in 4.50 as recommended by Alakar, sent off for some Bisley magnums, any others to try,? it came with a Hogan silencer and Bushnell scope,

    hello, it is possible to double load most PCPs you just need to make sure to keep a count of pellets that the magazine holds, mine holds 14, if you do double load just spray some gun oil in the breech and use a rod to push out from the muzzle end, bit of wood dowel i keep in my shooting box,

    if you double load then just pull the trigger in a safe direction!
