It groups about 1.5" at 100 yards, 3" at 200 yards. <br /><br />Not for everybody. wv.citybillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05481402106944499133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444550425694584077.post-50089985624457986722022-01-16T09:20:42.055-05:002022-01-16T09:20:42.055-05:00I've tried a half dozen of them, owned an addi...I've tried a half dozen of them, owned an additional 4 and never been able to get decent accuracy from any of them.<br />They all ran reliably with whatever ammo I gave 'em, were easy to clean, and were ergonomic and easy to shoot. But I could never get less than 3" at 100 yds or so as accuracy.

Someone brought one and it caught fire during a mad minute drill. Not smoking like the AK's, but a little flame from the wooden stock. It still ran thru the whole course and the guy passed the test at the end.Gerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13113612790410057366noreply@blogger.com
