Beeman vaporizer

Hi guys I am new on here and reasonable new to air rifles but have spent the last 20 years hunting and using "proper guns" I just thought I'd Post this up as I see online the Beeman vaporizer hasn't really got very good reviews and I actually disagree with most of them I have found that it is a reasonable gun I have only put about 60 shots through it so far so it's far from run in but at 20 yards with the factory scope I am getting under an inch groups and have even managed to get the same hole a few times and actually think it's grouping could be better if I was slightly more experience with air ( I've knocked over a deer at 860mtrs with my Tika t3 7mm rem mag) so I can shoot lol but springers are certainly a different kettle of fish anyway other than it being a bit heavy and not overly easy to cock I am impressed with the early results I did have a crossman mag fire ultra and I hated it over 500 shots before any group could be thought about also the mag was sh*ty plastic and really quite vonrable to break I went through 2 of them that's why I went back to a single shot I am sure there will be others out there who disagree but I would love to hear from anyone in nz who has one and what you think I've tried 6 different pellets and the h&n barracuda in 21.14gr seems to be the go so far although I think that could change when I start to shoot out a little bit further has anyone else got a vaporizer and using different pellets at longer distance and what is your recommendation for distance limitations for rabbits and the odd possum (I used to use a.223 for them lol 😂
