General Comments

I've owned my B3-f rifle for a good while now and I have to say that for a rifle of it's class it's brilliant!
It has very substancial power for most types of shooting, firing accurately and consistently. It doesn't take long to run in and finish dieseling, so from then on it's just pure shooting pleasure.
The first thing you will notice when setting sight on the rifle for the first time, I'm afraid to say, is the terrible stock finish. So out comes the fine grade sandpaper and after a short while of care and attention the rifle really does look the part. The stock is actually quite nice on these guns, once you've removed the inch of varnish that comes with them!
The rifle generally feels comfortable to fire from any stance. It may be seen as a little heavy compared to other guns on the market, but the B3-f is well balanced and easy to keep steady while taking aim. It fires smoothly, producing little recoil as it releases the pellet at an astounding 750fps (feet per second) which is spectacular for such a low budget rifle.
These rifles are very accurate when used under the right conditions, and are capable of hitting a 1inch grouping at 50yds. They can easily produce a clean kill on birds and vermin from the same distance and are said to be more than adequate from over 200yds.
And that brings us to the cost efficiency. The B3-f alone can be bought for an average of '£30-40, sometimes less! And for the money spent, it truely does prove to be quite a remarkable buy.
When being reviewed for 'airgunner magazine', Chris Wright said it was "incredible value for money". Proof from a professional that the B3-f is an excellent rifle.
Good for beginners and experienced shooters alike, you really cant go wrong with the B3-f.
