BTW, .20 Pellets are not that hard to get,plus it seems most air rifles shoot all of the good

I bought a HW95 .20 and love it. I shoot it with a Williams peep sight just to keep it light. At 25-30 yards I can hit 1inch spinners almost without a miss. No idea how accurate it really is as I have been trying to resist the temptation of putting a scope on it. It seems to be the perfect caliber between .177 and .22. The best of both worlds

The question will remain unanswered until you try. I think once you scope it, the scope will remain on. A little data for you to chew on. This is from my r9 .20 shooting the jsb 13's @ 705 zeroed @ 35 yds.

Yeah, I think it really is almost the ideal caliber for power levels between 10 and 25 fpe. It's a shame it has become so uncommon.

They are pretty straight shooters even out to 75-yards.
I tried to lighten up a bit by using a smaller scope but picked up a little weight because I wanted an illuminated reticle. My range backstop is black with white targets, so the cross hairs disappear at dusk.
Element didn't have an illuminated reticle at this price point so I went with an Athelon.

Athlon makes great scopes. I've had several including this one on my Wildcat. 1-6, it isn't the best for target but a great hunting scope. It is also illuminated

I dont recommend them because I had to modify them, but the company has since issued a set that don't need the modification.

I think it is the vast choice one has in "special " Pellets these days . Dome . flat (waddcutters ) , a cross cut in the tip , HP's and all designed for specific task (to sell more pellets ) So if a company has to supply .20 in All shapes that is a lot of investment and time . So if the '20 is not supplied in all shapes. Law of supply and demand . we the public swallowed all the hype
For example : does a hollow point or Baracuda pellet explode a Sparrow any better than the other ?
A dome puts a hole in a Squirrels brain , A wadcutter turns that same brain into soup . Yes i have dissected them to find out .
Question ? has any one used the same shape (Dome) and tested .20 VS .22 ?

It's not just the pellets, it's the lack of .20 options with new guns. Weihrauch is one of the only companies still making them and even with them they are practically a special order item. I'd love to get a .20 ProSport.
