Re: RWS and H&N Barracuda
Tanks are a good way to go but then you are stuck trying to get refills. Having a compressor is the way to go, and if you can also fill a tank even better. You are right, it didn't hurt to lap it. I was hoping you were going to say a 2moa dot! :D Personally I don't like fiber optic sights, mostly be...

Yes, the whole compressor, tank thing has been what has kept me out of the big bore game. So has the moderated/suppressed barrels- they are VERBOTEN here. Stupid demoncrats and their ignorance.

Re: RWS and H&N Barracuda
Good shooter ya got there Bill!
I always wanted a Beeman Crow Magnum in 5mm.
I often thought the 5mm guns were the best of both worlds, more pellet weight than 177 and better velocity than a 22 but sadly I must have been the only one who thought that as the pellet selection is poorer for 5mm.
