Given the ammunition situation, I finally went ahead and bought the R7 I’ve been wanting for a long time. I know you can get more power for less money, but I wasn’t looking for high power — I wanted something reasonably light & compact, smooth, accurate, easy cocking, and...nice.
I just installed the scope and got it sighted in using some pellets I had on hand. I’m very pleased so far. The trigger is nice, and it is much smoother firing than my cheap old spring-air gun. I’ve got an assortment of pellets coming to experiment with.
The first 5-shot groups at 50 feet.
I think this is going to be fun......
