Pulled out my 177 Green Hw97, 177 Hw95, 20 R9 and my 177 grey Hw30 cold out of the rack and these are the first 5 shots from each at ten yards in that order.
4 different cold guns and 20 pellets.

That's great MyCapt. Nice when you take the gun out and it hits where you're expecting. It doesn't always happen like that for me!

Very nice. Wonder what they would look like at 25 metres? Why I ask is that at 10 metres my trusty old 22 cal Benjamin Titan can easily put 5 shots all touching but at 25 metres the group spreads out a bit. Sometimes it groups exceptionally well at 25 metres and other times not so well. Trigger and my shooting don’t always line up.

Yeah Gary, at ten yards these are not particularly impressive. As distance increases shooting good groups gets exponentially harder so they could be terrible at longer distances.
I was bored and this was a happy accident as I shuffled through the gun rack. What I thought was cool and possibly worth sharing is these were the first five shots out four cold guns and they were reasonably close to the POA. It's pretty common for springers to throw the first shot or two when cold out of the rack.
Any of these four rifles will pretty consistently do half inch or better at 25 yards. The 97 and 95 have done half inch at 50 yards. Truthfully it's very rare and most of the time it's more like inch, inch and half at 50 yds. The guns themselves are excellent. The biggest thing holding back their accuracy is my skills and having the right tin of pellets.

Looks likes the 95’s won out. Given the extra diameter of the 20 its probably a draw at ctc. I’m not at all surprised. You definitely need to get more south and shoot outside all year. Expand your range man! Merry Christmas.

Thanks BOG. The 97 has 4 in the top hole. If the first one didn't land low it might have been king for the day. Doesn't matter I'm happy with all of them. The 20 caliber R9 seems to be the most consistent shooting rifle lately. Pellet sized single round hole 5 shot groups at ten yards. But like Gary pointed out ten yards is hardly an indicator.
I'm working on getting the hell out of here as fast as I can. The first two weeks of January I'll be down in my Arkansas house to do some work. I'll bring the R9 and stretch it out to 50 yards to really test it. I always bring a few rifles with me every time I go. It's so nice to shoot anything I want, any time I want on my property.
Be well
Merry Christmas as well and I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving.
