Tried to test for accuracy but can not get a stock to fit it.air tube is to big a diameter were it joins action.tryed shooting of knee with no stock(not to be recommended. ;D)and got half decent group.more or less same ftlb with 8.4 grn and 10.34 pellets which is good.just still trying to locate some mounts for it now
