A review from Amazon.com

Inconsistent shot groups July 7, 2012
By In Georgia
After 200 shots, and shooting from a solid bench rest I get inconsistent 2 to 3 inch shot groups at 45 feet no matter what kind of pellet I use. That’s 45 feet! Walk it out, it’s only a short distance. I’ve been told the accuracy will improve the more I shoot it. My question is: Will I ever get better than 2 inches at 45 Feet? How many more times will I have to try? I’m looking for better accuracy than this.

It could be just a defective unit. I have a
Gamo whisper that gets 1/2 inch groups at the same range.

That seems a bit wide. Mine shoots all pellets touching at 33 feet (10m). I picked 10 m because that is the range competitive air guns are shot at so I had a benchmark on the relative accuracy. It might be the pellets as well. I shoot RWS and Gamo brand pellets through it, not Crossman or Daisy.

I will add some other possible factors on that review as well. These guns are spring piston and therefore the working of the piston can greatly affect accuracy if they gun was poorly assembled. Additionally, spring piston guns require significant attention to follow through when shooting. The action of the piston is slower than a firearm so any shooting fundamental issues will be amplified greatly.

I apologize if i am telling you things that are obvious to you.
