Anybody out there have one of these.i need some input on them they look like a nice rifle alex
I have one and like the rifle. Fit and finish is real nice and it is very accurate JSB pellets. I have tried 6 -8 cast bullets in it with marginal success. Like it is a completely different rifle than how it shoots with the pellets. It will push 150fpe with adjusting the preload on the hammer spring.

With my .45 cast bullets I get good groups with various types sizes but some of the groups are 3" right and 3" down, but tight groups. Best most consistent results with light pellets.
I was pretty impressed with the rifle other than within the first 100 rounds the side-lever started popping out of closed position with every shot. Didn't seem to affect velocity or accuracy though.
A buddy spent last weekend visiting, to tune, test, and sight-in his .45 Winchester Model 70. We polished the bore, installed a depinger, and cranked up the hammer-spring pre-load to increase the power to 190-200 foot-pounds. Accuracy tested 155, 180 and 200 grain slugs. Quickly became obvious the 155 grain hollow-points were the most accurate; most three-shot groups measuring 3/4" to 1" c-t-c at 50 yards once we found the sweet-spot fill-pressure (3600 PSI) and shot only 3 shots per charge (even though it returned 5 consistent-velocity shots per charge).

I have the same issue with my Badger. I hate the bolt flipping up after each shot. I just run a couple rubber bands around the trigger gaurd and up over the bolt.
