    Give the barrel a very good clean then clean it again other that a full strip and fettle nothing it should be a good gun

    I fired one out of the box and it was like a shotgun....enough for me to buy a used s200 for my little one instead. I believe they are generally full of gunk, so as above, get it cleaned, check the crown and polish if needed, give it all a good clean down and polish and they should be good bits of kit. A mate got one and did this and it shoots spot on, I just didn't fancy the faff, that and the s200 is crazy accurate and whisper quiet to the point that I use it now.....don't tell the little one....!

    There must be some risk of invalidating the warranty with anything more than cleaning the barrel.
    It is hardly a cheap rifle at that price, compared to others by the likes of walther and gamo, so I would think the logical approach is to return it to the shop.
