[quote="aircube"]Very interesting, full carbon stock, NICE! Mr. Green

The camo one is cool as well.

Is it really 1200FPS in .22? or is that a typo?

Aircube - that' not a typo, it's a lack of ability to reado.

The add stated up to 1000 fps in .22 cal.

It might be a nice air rifle without the phony bull barrel plastic shroud, and it just might be worth a whirl.

It's not a plastic shroud, the shroud is metal

bummy:

"Bluing appears even and deep, and the finish on the metal barrel shroud looks fine." (Quote from bummy's link)

I stand corrected and amazed.

Yup, just might have to give one of those NPSS Crosman rifles a whirl. I've been interested in a gas ram system but didn't want to buy a Gamo because they wont sell parts.

Thanks for the heads-up!!

Best regards,

Ok bummy, what's the hold up on best pellet information???? I'm buying myslef the NPSS for Christmas, (and early too !! ) so I could sure benefit from your experience. Let us know about the pellets, please. Thanks.

Sorry I have a 1 year old and he takes up most of my spare time!

I did get to try the new pellets Saturday and so far the RWS R10 7.0gr, JSB Diabolos 8.4gr and the RWS Superdome 7.3gr are all much much better than any others I have tried

Sorry for the crappy picture but the only way I could get a picture of the target was to scan it and some reason it turned out this crappy!

the top bullseye is just starting to get it sighted in
the bottom target:
the three shots to 3 O'clock was still zeroing it in
the on outside of the circle, 11 O'clock, is from working through the first stage of the trigger just a bit too much, the rifle fired before I was totally ready
but the five inside the inner ring is a 5 shot group from 25 yards
I am very happy with the way the super domes shoot!
the R10 7gr are just as accurate but a couple of inces higher, and the Diabolos shoot about the same POI and grouping as the Superdomes
since the Super domes are cheaper and I can get them semi locally I think I am going to stick with them!

I promise to post more and better pictures when I get the chance to shoot again!
