That's almost EXACTLY what I got with my R9 .20 with CP. Speed and effective range.

Once you get above the R9 in power, typically I found the weight of the rifle is more than I want, and the force to cock.

I had a RWS 34 in .22 long ago, power was not lacking, but it lacked the accuracy, smooth firing, nice trigger, etc. that is found in the R9, HWs and the former FWB 124s.
