What's the accuracy like?


Basically for each shot:
- remove front nose cone
- push in the front of the central spool to reseat the stem and its seals
- open the charging head, add the cartridge, close the charging head
- pump it up
- remove from charging head
- drop pellet into nose cone and screw onto the cartridge
- load into gun and shoot
- start again...

Accuracy-wise they use a Weihrauch airgun barrel, so its pretty accurate.
You just have to think about things like - simple revolver trigger is good but not match grade, making sure the pressure in each cartridge is pretty much the same so velocity doesnt fluctuate too much. Also if a cartidge has a slow leak it will lose power while it sits around.

So yeah, they are a lot of work, but i like them!
Its not surprising the Umarex co2 replicas gained popularity - load them up and shoot away!
