Hmm. Thanks, rswmike. I didn’t know that accuracy guarantees came with any air rifle. Interesting.

oneshot61, your comment reminds me of my second Airgun purchase. I bought a lowly Marauder in .22, but was then thinking ‘on the cheap’ and did not get the LW barrel. While the gun does well for what I use it for, I often wonder what the difference would have been. Thanks. S7

RAW HM1000X LRT by leaps and bounds. Followed by a tie between an Avenger and Prophet compact.

Stock Crosman, tried to order the LW as an option but not available at the time. Just went with in stock, gettin' impatient trigger finger.

When I got my Maurauder they included a test target. Single hole 10 shot group but... it was shot at only 10 yards, kind of meaningless given general PCP accuracy

My taipan vet out shoots my impact with pellets. but the cz barrel on the vet is more picky than stx I'd say.

I got the same, badger. That target was indicative of the gun’s performance. But I never heard of an explicitly stated MOA guarantee. S7

Without question my USFT Hunter #40. I had a 250 card at my first BR match using this rifle.

Taipan Veteran Shorty, took a chipmunk at 55 yards. Eye ball shot.
Untuned, right out of the box.

My P35 in 22 is the most accurate of the 5 PCPs I own. 2 of the others, a 177 and a 25, are also P35s but are not as accurate. All my 5 will shoot less than 1/4 inch groups at 25 and sometimes 33 yards. I just shot another group with my P35-22 today that is, as close as I can measure, 0 inches center to center. It is just 3 shots at just 25 yards but this is the second "group" that is as small as a single pellet hole. I was trying to decide if H&N Baracuda Match with 5.51 heads are as accurate as the same pellet with 5.52 heads. I shot the first tiny "group" with the 5.52s and then mistakenly ordered 800 of the 5.51s. Fortunately it looks like it makes no difference. I am confident that gun is more accurate than it's owner. I've only owned my P35s in 177 and 22 about a month. Not really even broken in yet. I polished their crowns (but not barrels), adjusted the triggers to under 1 lb, and did a hair curler mod on their shroud to quiet them about 10 db. No other changes. Interestingly groups with JSB 18s do not group as well at 33 yards as the H&N Match - but they grouped equally well at 25 (except no one pellet diameter groups with the JSBs).

I'm fortunate to have a handful of .22 air rifles that are very excellent. Any one of them could produce my best bench groups on a given day. But, if I had to choose the one that I believe might be most likely to do that, it would be my RAW HM1000. To wander off topic a bit, this would not be the rifle I would choose if I were doing position shooting, or hunting. To lug such an implement through the woods, or to shoot it from unassisted positions is not my idea of fun. It has always impressed me as ironic that the HM is the "hunting" model. I guess folks have different styles of hunting. But, it is a fine rifle, and solid as a tank.

By far.....my 4th Kalibrgun , the Tactical 60 in .22 , shooting JSB 18gr . Doesn't like any slugs.
So what I gather from this thread is that there are a lot of really good .22 PCPs on the market these days!
What a great time to be into air gunning!
