Well, she's not exactly new anymore. I'm on my second spring--- a James Macarri "Old School" spring kit. It toned down the recoil and increased smoothness and accuracy. The stock spring bit the dust at about 2000 rounds. This gave me the incentive to tear the gun apart to replace the spring, deburr all parts of the internals and polish up the contact surfaces. Thanks, Tom. She cocks as smooth as silk now.
I've been as close to addicted to shooting this rifle as anything I've ever done. It is smooth, accurate and just plain fun. I'm up around 9000 rounds so far in a little less than a year. It really feels like shooting a 22 rifle in your back yard. Soda cans at 70 yards are in DEEP trouble. That is simply amazing to me for a "pellet gun" . "Airgun" is the current politically correct term nowadays.
Ok guys, go get the old Benjamin or Daisy out of the closet and plink a few cans. Guaranteed to make you feel like a kid again. Some of us actually never grew out of that stage. :mrgreen:
