Just put my Daisy 717 over the chrono it's doing 2.4ft/lb with H&N Econ II pellets.

I think it will be down to what pistol you can find.

Don't know if the 717 is still imported and I can't see any new IZH's coming in from Russia anytime soon.

That leaves you with Gamo, P17 or HW40.

If you can I would get the HW40 over P17(or whatever badge the put on it) as it's a much nicer finished pistol.

Then again after owning a HW40 might pick up a clone myself to see if the have got any better.
