Uk dealer was very proactive in getting it sorted.. tried several different head sizes,change of barrel,Reg reset nothing worked.
It went back to Austria ..the last update I got was they had barrel issues with the .22!
My humble £500 Fac .22 Rapid beat it hands down,both tested @ 25-30 yds simultaneously with rifle rested on folded front seat.. my usual shooting whilst crows/ Pigeon shooting position!
I have heard this about some of the .22’s.
Mines .177 and spot on. I get fliers sometimes but I reckon that’s the mags or the mag spring may be a bit soft now.
Is not as good as my lg110 but it’s not far off.
One thing that has been noted, if were at the range and it’s windy, I can rattle a quick 5 shot group off that’ll be good but sometimes the single shot target rifles will have bigger groups as the winds changed by the time they’re ready for their next shot.
