Cannon working well today, I am so in love. I'm a bit blurry in the eye at the moment with old contacts so will see what its like when my new ones arrive this week (well that's my excuse for 1 inch groups at 25m Tongue

)

Using Gamo Pro Match pellets that came with the gun (7.41 grains) I'm getting the following

1 pump 383fps

2 pumps 518fps

3 pumps 603fps

4 pumps 663fps

5 pumps 708fps

6 pumps 758fps

7 pumps 798fps

8 pumps 828fps

9 pumps 853fps

10 pumps 866fps

Gun seams to feel best at 6 pumps.

Got sick of another bantam rooster crowing its head off, perfect head shot at 15m

I remover the sharp innova from many years back. It was a highly rated hunting rifle among air enthusiasts back then.
My favorite under 400 dollar gun was the bsa meteor super. It was deadly accurate, comfortable as, had a bit of style and next to no recoil. Never threw the fixed 4x rim fire scope I had on it.Under powered by todays standards but easy to shoot. FUN

Thought this might be a good topic to start a chat about.

I picked up a Cannon 737 Multi pump .177 with a 4X32 scope for $100 today. its almost brand new. only doing up to 8 pumps so far and haven't shot through the chrony which I will do tomorrow. Its instantly become a new favorite, at 20m and 40m im hitting two blocks of wood ive got in the garden. Was getting too dark and rainy so haven't seen what the accuracy is like at those distances but the blocks of wood are 4" square. I see these are a copy of the Sharp Innova and I think the Webley Rebel is very similar.
