Most accurate Chinese springer?

[Bently71]

Actually the guys name is Paul B.    and he was nice enough to hold it for me until today. (Payday).  I believe he is a member here but I found him on the yellow boards.

I would take a wild guess that the BS-4 would be it.
It is a clone of the FWB-300 target rifle.
I do not know if it is still in production.

I own a BS4, and it is brilliant.
I own a TF 78 and can plink asprin all day

If you want accurate ... those.

If you need power, there are other considerations.

I am guessing the BS4 is still in production because it is listed on the Shanghai airgun website.  I think they are expensive compared to the usual Chinese springers and the U.S. market is more for cheap Chinese springers with a lot of fps.  Don't quote me on this but I think I read the BS4 needs to be approved to be shot in certain sanctioned competitions.

[Bently71]

I wish both the 78 and the B4 were still available.   I'd love to have a good side lever but I refuse to pay $500+ for a Rws 48 or 54.  Maybe someday but right now I have a Gamo Cfx underlever on the way so that should keep me from molesting my bank account for awhile.

You made a good choice on the CFX.  Now you have a good,  competition accurate 12FPE shooter.   Keep your eyes peeled, and a nice 48 might come up that you can get for your power shooter.

[Bently71]

Thanks buddy.  My Cfx is in the mail as I type.  It's coming from Texas.  I can't wait.  It's funny because I actually went to the Colorado School of Trades for gunsmithing back in 1991.  I've owned just about every gun u can think of over the years.  I've had 300 Winchester magnum bolt action rifles I've built myself.  For awhile I collected .308 battle rifles.   My favorite being my H&K 91.   But I can't believe how excited I am waiting for this Gamo.  I've had more fun hunting squirrels with airguns than you can imagine.  Great hobby.

Bently git your self a b21 from MM tuned then you will HAVE a good sidelever. i have one  you wont look back. less than half the price of the rws.

From my hunting adventures the B26.177 is a high quality springer for a good price. Any member that has glanced over my hunt's with the B26.177 own two know that it holds it's own against critters like Bandit's and C-rat's. I feel that the B26 platform is best served in .177 caliber though the .22's are fine but can be a tad slow on the fps. Out of the box they are impressive being a R9 clone and a tune really brings out the best in them. Ed

You can still get the 78s from Mike M. at Flying Dragon or Steven Archer at Archer Air

Just got an email from flying dragon and his prices are really low.  Now I'm drooling.   And crunching numbers to see if I have room in my budget?

[Bullit]

Check out his XS46U underlever.  Fully tuned under $200.00.  I need one like a hole in the head... ')    Mike

I think you made a pretty good choice, both with the type of gun and buying from the classifieds.  I think most of the guns in the classifieds, at least on GTA, are from tinkerers that either got bored ot soured on a gun- but the bugs have been worked out and they are good shooters.  All the guns I've had to let go were very accurate and functioned properly, all had fresh piston seals and lubed properly with JM lubes at a minimum.  Of course a couple dings in the stocks, scratch or two in the metal work but functioned flawlessly.  I think that is pretty much what you can expect when you buy someone's personal shooter.  Just keep an eye out for trustworthy guys letting guns go cheap to fund the next project or whatever, and you really can't go wrong.
