I had one from Airguns of Arizona (crooks), anyway it shot like a shotgun. I immediately called about the bad groups, and I tried everything they suggested. Long story short, it was a demo-return for the same issue, and they never fixed it. Then they tried to not honor the return policy, and I had to pay shipping both ways for a known defective product. The rifle is small and probably best for a kid or woman. I also have the MKIV-MCT and it feels and holds much better. I also have 2 Air Arms 500s and they also seem to be a better rifle. The Air Arms has adjustable speed, and a better trigger than the Regal. Naturally with the power down on the AA, the shot count is much higher.
