Finally got out to stretch its legs at 50 65 and 75 in 6 to 8 winds kicked up later In the afternoon.Sighted in at 27 and was popping shotgun shells at 30 and 50 ..hitting soup cans at 65 and 75 .The Rekord trigger is the cherry on top ..breaks like sugar glass with some minor adjustments .I might just leave the Darkside and stay with my first true blue ! Can't thank Steve from AEAC enough ,for his reviews are what coaxed me into this purchase .

Welcome back to the light! PCPs are great but they will never have the heart and soul a nice springer has.

I agree brother ,and it just so happens that the jsb hades are the magic pill that this particular R9 loves !

I chose .22 because that's what my other magnum springers are but to be honest this R9 outshoots those and me by a fair margin ..The Hades in .22 seem to buck the wind decent at 50 and under in my testing .

I believe it. The R9 is a favorite for good reason. Give the 5.53 and 5.54 14.66gr Field Target Trophies a go when you get a chance. All of my .22 HWs seem to eat them up AND they're cheap.

Yes I did try them and they're great ..thing is they fit really tight in the lead and seem to leave the Barrel a bit slower than the hades even though they're lighter ...but yes they are a bit cheaper and the accuracy is there. Next up is the good Ole stand by crosman premieres wally world specials ..lol

CPHP are next in line for accuracy testing .They shoot pretty dang good out of my Diana 350 mag compact ...Hoping they can perform well with the R9 out to 65 which will be my max hunting range .
