It looks far better quality than newer hws. Are they really that bad to shoot at sub 12 or is it all scaremongering?

I love my 80's - all in 0.177 - however they are best with a reduced bore conversion for sub 12FPE....completely and utterly sublime.

I've tinkered with ALL the alternatives over the years, and none are as good as what Mr Pope can do with a 25mm piston and liner...
