I was going suggest trying RWS Hobby's if .22Having cleaned, resealed and relubricated this rifle I’ve done a bit of testing..
It’s running at about 10 fpe which should improve as the ‘O’ ring beds in. It’s smooth to cock and fire. The trigger is reasonably crisp and creep free. It seems to be a bit pellet-sensitive but JSBs in 4.52 mm seem to suit it. It definitely has accuracy potential to go less than 15mm at 30 yards.
But it is really hard to shoot consistently. It’s hold-sensitive, has a massively heavy piston and a powerful spring with a lot of preload. It’s a relatively light rifle so you really need to know how to shoot a springer. It would probably be easier in .22, and maybe if it had the long-stroke conversion and a weaker spring.
I could probably get consistent accuracy with it if I practiced for many hours with it. It’s like the BSF zi once had, aesthetically pleasing and lightweight but .. very difficult to shoot. The accuracy potential is there, but I’m just not willing to put the time in when other rifles make it so much easier.
It’s going on the ‘up the road’ pile. I enjoyed the rebuild …
