I have the .22 springer and .177 vortex. The .177 is one of my favorite guns to shoot indoors. It is modified slightly however. I flipped the front sight upside down so I can cock it without the longer cocking barrel attached (it’s scoped). I also charged the vortex piston at various levels until settling in at something more than 120 but less than 150 bar if memory serves. Used a hand pump. It’s accurate to reliable 1 inch or less groups at 17 yards off a pillow rest on a drum. My off hand shot groups seem to depend on the day. Part of the joy is the chest workout I get cocking this over and over again.
My .22 springer Supercharger just turned up, and what a blast this is to shoot.I've put around 100 shots through it, but it's still dieselling, with grey smoke exiting the barrel after every shot. It seems to be reducing, though.The best grouping I'm getting is around 1" at 12 yards using the tru glo open sights, but I'm struggling to improve on it. I'm finding it incredibly pellet fussy.Can anyone give me some pointers on which pellets yours prefer, please?

Any hand pump will do. I use one of the inexpensive ones from China bought on eBay that are discussed here on GTA. You will also need the Hatsan fill probe and the foster adapter to connect it to the pump. I had one for a flashpup already. I learned the pistons could be adjusted here on GTA. I’ll see if I can find the thread.

Strange. I have never heard of a supercharger with a plastic trigger. Gold metal on both my .22 spring and .177 vortex. Is it a refurb or used? Where’d you get it?
