H&N FTT's or anything with RWS on the tin. Mind you, my .22 45 loves Crosman Premiers. Which surprised me a bit as I don't rate the modern ones that much.
I've just put a scope on to give it a first try. Didn't have long as bad light stopped play. Bit weird. I thought it would have liked superdomes, but it seems it's not keen. Bit of a shotgun tbh. After a while, I swapped to JSB exact. First of all, clover leafs at 25yd, then it started to open out again by quite a bit and shoot a tad high and right,
Many points to consider. Firstly the barrel had been given a good clean. It may just need conditioning/leading up, to get to its best. Second, perhaps it doesn't like either superdomes or jsb. Thirdly, the gun has been totally restored and may just need shooting in. Fourth, its a new (second hand) scope, so an unknown quantity. Fifth, still experimenting, but it seems to like a firm hold rather than letting it have its head, which I do with all my other springers.
Also, BIG thanks to Jules (deejayuu) for sending me a proper trigger guard for it. Top Man!
Thank you Kenneth for a simply superb thread -- a thoroughly BRILLIANT renovation story to read and follow. Threads like this are just the sort of thing that make the BBS what it is: a wonderful place for air gun folk to visit and enjoy/swap stories and info on everything -- and anything -- air gun. Cheers: G.

Check screws are tight after a shoot especially as its all a bit fresh with so much work done. They will rattle cheap scopes and poor mounts. Should after "shooting in" just stay there.
Scope should be up to it, it's a Bushnell trophy. Early days yet, I'm sure it will reveal all given some more use.
