Just received this today. Would appear to be mismarked. It is indeed .177
In case the photo doesn't work it is marked 5.5mm (.177)
Has anyone else seen this?

When in doubt, insert a .177 pellet to check fit. Obviously, if it’s loose then it’s a .22.
Better to be loose than too tight and get stuck in the lead.

I did verify it is .177, but it should read 4.5mm no?
Maybe I got a special edition.

.22 caliber would be 5.5 mm. You could probaby return it, but if it shoots accurately, I'd keep it.

I have heard of dual caliber air rifles but I don't think that's how it works.
