There was a time when the R1 was king and it set the standard in the earlier days of preciision airgunning. These days though it seems to get scantbattention with R9, R7s HW50 and 95 getting more press. The R1 has a lot of power, if you can tame it, shoots accurately and with an excellent trigger but not so popular.Did folks get tired of hold sensitivity issues or just prefer a smaller, lighter gun? When the shooter does his part its an impressive, powerful springer. Why the backseat to the competition these days?Pete
The R! set the standard for high powered airguns, not precision airguns.
