Good Points

It's a well built, solid air rifle but I had submited a review earlier saying I could not hold any kind of group. I've sorted out the problem and it's not the rifle. It's velosity!


Bad Points

I still hate the scope mounts and they really could make a more solid mount with the correct elevation adjustments, but that's another story.


General Comments

My problem with accuracy was that I was shooting a light (8.2 gr MeisterK's) pellet in .17 cal. This gave me a velosity of ~1100 ft/sec, or the speed of sound. Breaking the sound barrier is not good in an air rifle. I switched to a Crossman Premier Heavy (10.5 grain) which kept me sub-sonic and it was like night and day. I went from 4 MOA @ 15 yards to one hole groups, with more power down range. I can actually make small adjustments on the scope an see the POI change. I could not do that with the lighter pellets.
