Which one's the Feman and which is the HW80

Both .22 and testing same pellet AA field

I'll answer later.

Difficult to tell as mine all preffered FTT's, but the Fenman, in my experience, has almost no hold sensitivity so I would expect it to group better in most hands

[rapidresponse1]

could not say my self

[evert]

The metal spring always trumps the rammer

[Muskett]

My Fenman does tighter than both those. Its a .177

[ken69]

Only going from experience, my .22 Fenman could outshoot my .22 HW80 all day, every day. But here’s the rub, I sold the Fenman and kept the HW80, the Fenman was difficult to cock and the shot cycle just far too snappy

[averageplinker]

Whichever shot the group at the bull clearly likes them and is zeroed for them. The other rifle doesn't and isn't and should be fed a different diet!
Rich.

[Beazley]

maybe irrelevant but what is the distance?

[Shed tuner]

Who did you get to shoot them ?

Shoot? It could have been a Bic pen, roll of sellotape and a bayonet charge!

Presumably the Fenman is the group in the bull.

The lower group has issues, suggesting there is something not quite right in the rifle/sight/pellet/user combination.

The Fenman shot the bull group. Distance was 17 yards rested. I shot both groups. No Bic biro was involved I found it quite remarkable the Fenman gave such group as said before, it's quite snappy, like a fire cracker going off in your hands.

I get the same thing with my Sirocco, which I don’t shoot much. Heavy cocking stroke, poor trigger, only average handling and stock fit, horrible slammy shot cycle. But it hits where it’s aimed.

[evert]

I had a .177 Evolution. Tried to get along with the gun for many years, replaced seals, relubed, and tried several power levels.
But the weight, size, cocking stroke and slammy firing, plus its tendency to throw shots made me trade it for a close to mint late 80's HW85.
Which was a good trade in my opinion.

I’m surprised by some of the comments. My Fenman is 0.20 and, while it is quite ‘snappy’, it is insanely accurate. A lot of fun to shoot.
