At 71, I'm quite familiar with the droop concept, but what is a "no droop" airgun?  |

| A rifle with the appropriate countermeasures for barrel-droop. |

Thanks, this explained barrel droop very well. Apparently, even some expensive guns have it. It may also explain why, after I mounted my scope, the first shot hit way low. Or that could have been how the scope was set. |

| You'll know when your rifle is to droopy when you can't you don't see impacts, even though you've set it to the most outer settings. |

Considering that the pivot point for cocking many break barrel airguns is underneath, and they don't "lock" in position before firing, I'm a little surprised they aren't forced down a little by the firing pressure. |
