My good ole Marksman 2004 liked the 177s. I shot this tonight at 10 yards with a cheap BSA red dot. Gotta love this little pistol.

I wish someone made a cheap single stroke rifle that had a decent trigger and was as accurate as this thing.

Not so sure about the accuracy either. I’m getting a 1322 for less than the Buck Mark and will probably return the Buck Mark.For rifles, the 760 is surprisingly accurate at least at 10 yards—which is my maximum range distance. And it is a lot of fun too!I've got a 3 inch ar500 target at 25 yards that I can hit almost every time with the 2004. It's a hoot to plink with. I'll have to look into a 760. Thanks for the tip!

Well after having a good experience with the .177 wadcutters (also made in Spain) that were on sale just before Christmas, I decided to give these a try.First 2 groups at 30 yards with a HPA QB79 with LW barrel. The white circles are 3/8", the size of an aspirin.Normally when I'm trying new pellets, I don't concentrate very hard. I didn't see the 2nd pellet impact but I heard it. That's when I decided I should go ahead and aim a little more carefully. I'm impressed. Thanks Ed. Thanks Subscriber.

Just a heads up, I ran another 50 or so through the QB last night and accuracy seems to hold up over a larger sampling except I had a couple of crazy wild fliers. After I got back inside I started looking through the tin and found a couple of badly deformed pellets. Not bent but incompletely formed, like maybe the lead wire blank was cut short and didn’t fill out the mold completely. I didn’t spot any that had subtle defects so hopefully it’s an all or nothing thing.
