Maybe it just doesn't suit you.

I had a .177 '97 that I really liked - I loved how it looked and shouldered but, I just couldn't get it to shoot right for me - I know it might sound silly but, I tried different innards, different stocks, different scopes - I just couldn't get to grips with it.

I once managed to hit a 3" bell at just under 60yrds with a standing shot (a complete fluke in front of people at my local club ) but, I could never manage a decent 10 shot group at 35yrds so, I moved it on.
....... The chap that bought it is more than happy with it it and, I gather is doing pretty well with it.

Airguns eh
