What sort of range/distance does it shoot?

I've not tested it that far to be honest, I've used it on Coke cans on a fence at 10/15 yards very successfully, it's not going to go down well from the clock tower down to the butts at bisley.

When i bought it I went through every air pistol in the shop (countryman derby) and this had by far the best trigger and sights.

I bought it to practice pistol shooting as my range was a long way away, now it's nearer so I don't shoot it.

It's got a proper snap to it shooting and feels about as close to a rimfire pistol as you can get and still shoot in your back garden.

If so, drop me a PM, and we can arrange online payment. Could send a cheque if you prefer! I would happily wait while you clear it.

Probably sold pending the usual, there's been a sudden wave of interest and I'm probably swapping it for something else ;)
