Which ones did you have? Only the Fenix and Fusion were any good, the 100,200,300 were all pretty average.

I have heard good things about the Sig but not had a go myself yet, I'm more of a PCP man myself so tend not to spend money on break barrels anymore.

1 Fenix, 2 Fusions Mintie.

Yeah - the SIG is superb for NZD$849! The trigger isn't as smooth as the Weihrauchs or Air Arms but it's very good. Once I started using the Air Arms Heavy .177 pellets (10.3gr) - 4.52 headsize - the MV reduced from 1020fps to a perfect 910fps and the groups shrank to lovely 20mm - 23mm at 50yds!

For a magnum springer that's astounding in my opinion.

Of course, the PCP's are better for hunting (I use two: AA S510 and AA S410) but there's still something very special about hunting with high-quality springers! Such a precise and challenging sport!

I used to shoot 1,000yds at Bisley many moons ago but long range shooting with PCP's and/or Springers over 200yds nowadays is even more challenging I reckon!!! The wind effects are more pronounced with pellets, making such shooting the hardest to get right!

Or am I just getting older?!!!!!!
Ha!
