Oh I forgot to mention I measure grouping outside edge to outside edge not CTC...

You may be already doing this, be sure to remove the muzzle thread protector before shooting for groups.  That way you get the full effect of the nice crown they put on it.  Regards, Tom

Nope have left the muzzle break on will have to try without it tomorrow... also have not been running any fouling shots between different pellets either...

Hi,

I do realise that this topic has not been posted recently, but as I have just purchased a .177 BSA Buccaneer SE, this seemed to be the place to mention it!

Unlike most of the posters on here I actually live in England (U.K.)... only about 50 miles or so from Birmingham, where the Buc. is actually manufactured... but unfortunately for export only!

I therefore purchased mine from a large gun retailer in Spain for about £150 less that I could buy a Gamo Coyote here, and it was shipped directly to my door by UPS without any carriage charge at all.

The rifle had obviously never been opened prior to me receiving it, and a free tin of JSB Exact pellets were also included.

It was actually already fully charged, which surprised me slightly, so was therefore sent by road, and sea, as opposed to air, but still arrived here in 3 days, which wasn't bad going.

I shan't have a chance to put any lead through it until I visit my local club on Sunday, who have a 20 yard indoor range, which suits me just fine.

Overall though I am initially very impressed with the Buccaneer, which has a lovely grained stock, and a lightly greased and well protected barrel, so I am looking forward to seeing how it performs!
