True pcp accuracy from a low cost airgun. l've also used it against rats at my daughtets stable and it is perfect for the job as its very quiet and delivers clinical head shots with ease.
It did have a very slight galling issue but a smear of molly grease sorted it and its never returned.

Off a rest on the zero range it easily made one hole groups at 25 & 30 yards and 20mm spinners were hit virtually every time by everyone who tried it.
I took it out on the top course whose targets tend to be 35-40yd max and once I'd got my eye in this little combo did surprisingly well, it even had an advantage as I could watch the path of the pellets to the rangier targets and adjust accordingly.
This rifle has proved to me that power isn't the most important thing, and to 30 yards it hits everything my Rapid 17 does.
I hate to say I told you so
ive been raving on about these guns for about a year now. Mine never stops putting a smile on my face ( and anyone else who uses it ) and also to show how versatile it is , I used mine today with open sights shooting rats at 6yrds in a stable. A lot better than a pistol and deadly with bisley practice pellets at that range.
