    I had a proper testing session with the new 98 today. My other half took my boy to a kids party at 2.00pm. By 2.05pm I was set up and blasting away. Once I got it zeroed and put a few pellets through the barrel it settled down nicely. Quite surprised with the kick from it although amazingly accurate. The weighted barrel definitely does its job for sure. Its was grouping 15-20mm at 25 yards with AA diablo's and I reckon that will tighten up a bit as it settles and everything beds in. If I get chance tomorrow i'm going to bung some H and N FTT's through it for comparison.

    Glad you're loving it, Mike.

    The FTTs do seem to go very nicely in these (my 95 and 98s love them) and she'll get smoother as everything runs in. It would be even betterer still with a basic fettle / polish / relube etc., but no pressing need, methinks.

    Sounds good Mike and as you say, it will settle in further. I wouldn’t be surprised if the groups tighten up a bit with the FTT’s.
