I get about less than 1.5 inches at 50 yards.
I tryed the Enjins 16.1gr they hit much harder but accuracy isnt as good but still usable and 50 yards. At 35 yards they a ok.

Im starting to understand for high magnification at a lower price the image isnt as bright and clear. Also i mostly use it on a bench so weight isnt really an big issue

By the way, when i loosen the screws at the bushings will the barrel be free to move only or will the bushings also move as i turn the barrel? If so, how do i turn the barrel while the bushings stay at the same position?

I know that the .177 valve has a stronger spring behind it so using a spring from a .22 or .25 valve sould be the same as the .22 or .25 valve.
