Great review, John. I've been doing my own review of the 408.
https://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php?topic=177091.new#new
Mine shot high and to the right. I fixed that initially by raising the height of the front sight and then fixed it completely by putting a rail on top of it and then mounting a Pinty dot sight to that.
I've been getting my best groups w/ Winchester 7420 4.4 gr pellets; but, Daisy wadcutters, Crosman destroyers and AA 7.33's aren't far behind.
Yeah, it is powerful AND it can be made even more powerful.
Tom Tucker put a shim in his to increase the velocity by 50 fps to approximately 480 fps using JSB/AA 7.33's.
https://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php?topic=166133.0
This is the shim he used. I'll be getting these shortly for mine.

Next spring this one is going to be my new tackle box gun for snakes when I'm fishing.-

John,
The shims are $8 for 5. The shipping is $8 also. I offered the 3 I have left to Robert for $10, but he felt he could do better. If he doesn't change his mind in the next couple days, I'll offer them to you for the same.
Let's see what he decides by Wednesday.

Andy, if John wants one or more of your shims, then by all means, sell one to him.

I posted the wrong link for the shims. Sorry about that. Here's the right one.

OTOH, Andy wants to sell the extra shims he has. You can get a better deal from him than from the factory.
