Hey Ted! I was stretching my memory recently(what memory I still have) and was wondering about the R9 video you shot some time ago. What peaked my interest was what pellet evaluation was involved? Did you attempt to do a review like the PCP evaluations that you are famous (or notorious) for? The reason I'm asking is because I'm thinking about getting an R9 in .20 caliber. Anyone else have some experience with this excellent air arm?

Hits,
I've had my HW95L in .20 cal for about 3 years now. It's the best shooting, most accurate Springer I have ever owned. It took a while to break in, maybe 200 shots.
The HW95L comes with open sights that work very well. The firing cycle is a jumpy but it's something that you get used to. Use a soft hold and let the rifle do the work.
I have a Hawke 9 power that works well and doesn't add too much weight. It's also light enough to carry around for a days outing. The Rekord trigger is a beauty.
I think that anyone would be happy with this versatile little rifle. It averages 720 fps. I've nailed about 6 or 7 rabbits in my garden, a rattle snake and other pest around
the house. Twenty caliber seems to be the favorite pellet size for this rifle. I didn't know this when I bought mine, I just like 20's. Mine is not too pellet fussy but JSB's are
the most consistent pellet I've tried. Good Hunting, Freddie

That 20 cal R9 was my friends. It was one of his few Springers that I truly love to shoot. And It was a spur of the moment decision to make a video on that day. It was his contention that the JSB 20 caliber pellet was the absolute best in that barrel.

Thanks for the input guys. I'm a .20 caliber fan, especially after what I was able to do with my Sheridan equipped with open sights so many years ago. I currently have two tack drivers, one in .22 (RWS 470 TH) and .177 (RWS Model 34P Pro Compact). I guess you can see where I'm headed! Thanks again.
