rws air rifles are good air rifles but springers are tricky to shoot. Especially high powered ones. Not to say that it was you...im not aware of your experience with air rifles. I belong to an air rifle forum and many members can pull 1/2 groups at 30 yards and ragged one holers at 15 yards. Personally im not good with high powered springers so i went to a tuned chinese qb-78 co2 powered air rifle in .22 cal. Im an unstable shooter and i could get half inch groups at 25 yards with it. I also own a chinese b3 that is in .177 that is a slower shooting springer. Mine shoots around 600fps. That one is a toss up. It is a really cheap gun so its not going to be a tack driver but easier to shoot because of the lower power. I take squirrels with mine. I just got one today actually. i can shoot a 1 inch group with that gun at 20 yards
