A pair of 10 shot groups at 40 yards. JSB 15.89. Breaking in nicely with about 300 rounds through her 
Loving my LGU

Damn...those are some fantastic groups at 40 yards with a non pcp rifle! Congrats! Need to think about the LGU now!

I’m so impressed with this rifle. She’s shooting at just under 17fpe right now. Waiting on a maccari spring to come and going to tune her down a bit. I have no doubts it’ll do sub 1” at 50 when all is said and done

My LGU is among, if not the most, reliable of my rifles. Personally, no interest in tuning it down as it shoots great at full power but you might possibly get improvement in accuracy. That will be interesting to see reported after your change.

Mine is stock. And it’s 15 1/2 foot pounds. You might wait and shoot a few more through it and see if it settles down some more.

Nice. I had one in .22 and it would often out shoot my TX200 III in .22. Sold them both after getting into PCP's.

Such a wonderful platform. I have the LGV variants in .177 & .22, almost bought a backup one in .177.

We LGU owners seem to be in a class of our own. Unlike many other guns that make the scene and a big splash, the LGU kind of held it down to a ripple. The factory trigger may have contributed to this when the word got out about how it could generally not be brought down to target standards.
The mods began, but by that time it was a little late in the game or so it seemed. Now the trigger issue has been well resolved once the leverage problem was discovered and worked on.
I too shoot mostly at 40 yards and I can tell you as good as your groups are, they will tighten up even more in a short time.

I agree, your groups WILL get better. Both my Motorhead tuned LGV Challenger Ultra and my WhiteFang tuned LGV Master Pro .177 will be with me forever. I shoot paintballs off golf tees @ 50 yards with both of mine.......

Out of the box it was at about 15. Packed with grease was an understatement. The stock spring is just a little too much when properly lubed. Hoping the maccari spring brings it back to that power level without chopping off coils. Added a 2nd screw on the stock trigger today and got it breaking at just about a pound. This gun is ridiculous

Josh,
I'd say it depends on if you prefer underlever or breakbarrel. So its really up to you. They are both great guns if you can find one.
I have a LGV and it is spot on accurate.

I have both in 177. The LGU MIGHT be slightly more consistent but both are very reliably accurate.

Maccari spring came and finally had some down time to install. Not a bad chrony string with about 30 shots through it. Shot cycle is fantastic.

The Sporting Walthers will definitely leave a mark in history. Technically speaking they are some of the most advanced spring guns ever built.
Sadly, the cost reflected that and the market really didn't take it.
Walther is discontinuing the Break Barrels, ALL of them, The remaining parts have been sent to the USA to make-up the RWS 3400 and 3500 guns.
The LGU, however, has remained in production for the Varmint model. How long this will last is anybody's guess.
Both models are very good, but IMHO, the LGV is the better model.
There is a lot more info about these guns in the series of blog posts I wrote since 2014, to make it easy for the friends here to find them here is a chronological list:

Keep well and shoot straight!

Hector, I researched the LGU quite a bit before pulling the trigger on the purchase. Read most of your write ups on LGV/LGU and you definitely influenced my decision. I’m glad I was able to get one. Still looking for the LGV.
