I picked up one of these to play with as I liked the adjustable stock. There is just one problem. My great grand daughter's Daisy Buck, yes, the little cheap BB gun, is more accurate than this thing. I just spent several hours with it and six different brands of pellets with no joy. I had cleaned the barrel using cut off q-tips the other day getting ready and checked all the screws for tightness. I even changed scopes today to no avail.
I then got out my old scoped Gamo Shadow 1000 with the horrible trigger just to check and it wasn't me. I was getting ragged little one hole groups at 25' with it. Just to make sure I broke out the Benjamin 592 with a red dot and was doing just about as good as with the Gamo.
OK, lets look at the barrels on these things. Both the Benjamin and Gamo had nice, shiny, mirror like bores. The SwissAir not so much. I told my wife it looked like Snow White's seven dwarfs tunneled out the bore on a Monday morning after a long weekend of hard partying. I guess I could see if the company would replace the barrel but I'm afraid it would be just like the one I already have.
I'm going to think about it awhile and see if I can come with someone I dislike enough to give this thing to but I'll probably just set it in a corner and let it collect dust. At least it wasn't expensive.
