Been wondering how all of you Vectis shooters are doing with yours. After some basic hammer spring adjusting mine is coming in to its own. Mounted a cheap Sally Worild 4X16 x44 centerpoint and am on my second tin of CPHPS. I have settled on this pellet for my cheap pesteing round and is shooting it great. Have taken a few starlings, Eurasions, English sparrows a a couple of ground squirrels. Would love to here other owners experiences with theirs. The more Rounds I put threw it the better it gets.

Good to hear Mike , my .25 Vectis I have had for a year , and it still works great !

Happy .25 Vectis owner here also, not an issue in over a year. Had it scoped to check accuracy then set it back up with factory sights.

Good to hear from my fellow Vectis brothers. I finally put a scope on mine but really enjoyed the peep/gost ring stock sight. Just for me the scope really brings out the tack driver in the gun, starlings are small targets at 30 to 40 yards. Mike

Have been putting the torture test on with my Vectis so far so good. Did some hammer spring adjusting as to get the most out of the cheap CPHPs and a new scope, has turned into a great truck/shop gun. You can really go thru the pellets with this lever gun if you are not carefull, who wants to be carefull. So chime in with more Vectis stories and updates. These are pretty tuff guns. Mike

Mike the Vectis gun has one of the best action's of any air gun that I have owned or shot , so under rated for how good it really is , and one of the most fun to shoot ... .22 CPHP is the perfect cheap ammo so you can shoot like crazy ,and not break the bank doing it ...

I just posted a new thread https://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php?topic=201947 (https://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php?topic=201947) on this, but figure I should toss it in here as well, since this seems to be the thread for the Vectis club. :)
Did some mods to my Vectis that I grabbed as a cheap refurb for around $200...
Tossed on a Sightmark red dot, cut the shroud down to get to the threading on the barrel and screwed a DonnyFL Sumo onto it to hush it up - then smoothed up all those molding lines your hands touch,which just feels terrible - and finally added a short bit of picatinny rail under the front of the barrel shroud for my DBAL PL or IR Surefire.
This is now a pretty darn good setup - I'm certainly pleased with it - but need to get it out and stretch the legs out and see what she can do.. Certainly fantastic at the 16 yard backyard range now - doesn't scare the neighbords and feels great.

.177 Vectis, awesome shooter and just recently found out it really likes NSA 12.5gr slugs.
