    Exactly !
    I resisted (nearly) further commenting on this thread, but kept watching, when certain members started insulting and name calling. For Bob (ZOOMA) Mike (MIKEC4) and I to do so is expected because its done with the greatest respect for each other and our years of experience with 10m pistols. I feel certain members posting on this thread should be posting an apology.

    I'm not saying all my targets look like this but I just finished my practice session tonight on a five shot high.
    10 meters single freehand.
    I certainly don't think the pistol is lacking in the accuracy department

    Excellent single handed shooting at 10 metres!

    Not received an apology yet...... however I'm not holding my breath; difficult for me anyway, stage 3 COPD has that effect.

    Just dropped onto this thread, parts of which appear sadly to be more suited to Faceache than a serious section of the BBS.

    I assume my 604 is pretty old, though in excellent order. It carries numbers 5533 and DAT .3180 if they give any indication of age. There is no sign of cracking in the angle of the overlever and no obvious signs of wear in the barrel pivot pin. The only problem I have had, twice, is the breakage of the tiny hair spring in the trigger mechanism.

    It's as accrate as an accurate thing and will forever outshoot me! (and probably most other club level shooters).
    Walther CP-2 Match, FAS 604 & Tau 7 target pistols, Smith & Wesson 6" & 4" co2 pistol, Crosman 1377,
    Baikal IZH 53 pistol, Gamo CFX Royal,177, Umarex SA-10 CO2 pistol.

    You are entitled to your opinion as is every other member of this forum.

    However, when one's knowledge and experience is queried in the manner of one of the respondents to the original discussion, I believe there is a right of reply.

    To compare the parts of the thread to social media in general is inappropriate in this case.

    As was stated by Robin C, an apology is in order and to date has not been received.

    Draw your own conclusions from the lengthy silence..

    I was banned 18 months back from NA and MO, for far far less and with absolutely no offensive language or name calling. Maybe the same has applied here?

    If that's a true indication of your abilities at 10m unsupported with a budget gun and cheap pellets - you should join your local 10m club & you'd do very well.
