Getting sick of this gun. Had it for a year and it’s been nothing but a paperweight for me. Going to sell it and save for an edgun or FX I think. Tired of dumping money into this thing.

Picture on the right is of 2 groups with the .177 barrel and the PW on 4. The top is a 5 shot group, and the bottom is a 10 shot group with a flier. I stuck my zippo next to the .22 group for size comparison. All groups shot at 20 yards from a bench.

After a full day of messing with the power wheel, various shooting techniques from the bench, and using a hand pump, I have lost hope of this gun ever shooting this .22 barrel inside of 5 inches.

Cleaned with a patch from the breach.

I think this accuracy issue could be due to inconsistent FPS numbers. I’m getting a chrony soon hopefully and then I’ll take it from there.

I put my .177 barrel back in and boom, 1″ at 40 again with a slight breeze.

Here is the 10 shot group at 40 yards from a bench with 2,800 PSI fill and the only part of me touching the gun is my hand, lightly on the grip to pull the trigger.

I’m used to shooting springers so it could be my technique. However, I can stack shots at 100 yards with my .17 HMR and the same at 50 yards iron sights with my .22. So I’m not sure on that. I need to get a chrony and see where my velocity is sustaining or if its jumping around.

I adjusted the top hat snug to the bolt and I have gotten very consistent results and a lot more shots per fill. I’m filling to 2800PSI and the gun likes it.
