If they offer a stainless gun in that blue stock I’m gonna have to.

Often disparaged but I have some guns that shoot them as good as (if not better than) anything else.

I have guns that don’t shoot them very well at all, but I would love for them to shoot them as good as this. At (often) $6/500 at Walmart it’s hard not to love a gun that can shoot these. I literally would shoot nothing else if all my guns liked them.

I guess it goes directly to what has been stated many times-different guns may like different pellets and finding the best for any specific gun is often the answer. Never hurts when a gun shoots great with the cheapest ammo though.

Just to add, my HW44 shot the Crosmans fair but shot the JSB's much better while the pp700 and Alecto shoot similarly with either. Different strokes for different guns.

It’s a bit of a PITA, but, you can buy two guns, swap stocks, sell other at a bit of a loss, and end up with what you ultimately want. I actually considered doing that because I really wanted the Forest Laminate stock.

Different country all together but when I bought my Hw77 stainless it came with a black synthetic stock. I asked the chap at the shop could he swap the synthetic for a wood stock. He was happy to do so.

& that’s why Gary is the brains in this operation! I recall reading somewhere that AoA has done this type of swap before, no guarantee, but can’t hurt to call & ask.

Or buy both -- a blue in blue stock, and a stainless, and swap the stocks... That way, you get two!!!
