General Comments

I recieved my B-20 in .177 a few months ago and was at first impressed until I had a chance to shoot a few hundred rounds through it. Everytime I take it out and shoot it something else falls out or off. First it was the mounting screws, then the pivot cap, then trigger screws. After that was all loctited the front sight fell off. I had to cut a slot in the base of sight with a hack saw in order to get it to tighten up on the barrel slots. I also had to make a 3/32 shim to fill in the space between the stock and rear of the barrel. After all this I still can't get a group smaller then a tennis ball at 40 ft. My $29 B4-1 is more accurate.

    With any air rifle, the first thing you should do when you open the box is check the stock and trigger guard screws for tightness. This is on any air rifle, no matter what quality. Vibrations loosen stock and trigger screws, that's just the way spring rifles are made. After tightening the screws, sight the rifle in then setup your scope or whatever.

    Sometimes it's us not knowing what makes a rifle looks bad. My B20's are very accurate with nice light triggers; 1 with a nice stock, and the other has the paint brush look to it, but it shoots well.

    There's more to tweak on a B20 than there is on a Gamo or Winchester.
    It's not an R9, but it is a good starter rifle to understand the workings of an R9. They break down the same. The $300-$500+ R9 is made much better than the $105-$96 B20.

    Still have it? What are your plans?

    Yes, I still have both B20 and .177 B-26-2. My plan is just to shoot them. Happy and smiling, I can look on the net and admire others dress out B-20, and there are some nice ones out there.
