Just a note about the potential accuracy of the Big Cat. Yesterday, my son came be the house and picked up one of his BCs that he had left for me to tune up. We put a scope on and sighted it in at 15 yards. In short order, it was shooting quite well and infact was doing so well that we looked for smaller and smaller targets. Well, my yard has holly bushes that are covered with the red berries. We started putting the berries , stuck on straight pins, on the back stop we use. They measure about .350 inch. My son was able to consistently splatter the berries at 15yds. Some with the 1st shot and none with more than 3 shots.
This was using the standard 4 power Gamo scope. Anyway, I thought this was pretty good shooting since I could not even see the berries.

Nice shooting! He has good eyes!

Good shooting. Its always good to find things to do with the kids.
I have a Big Cat and have been very impressed. I let my oldest daughter shoot it now and have a few things in stor for it, GRT 3, tuned spring, fill the stock etc, but bone stock its a nice shooter and she is good with hers.
Good job getting the kids involved.

Bogey,
I've posted before my praise for the BC. It was my first hoe tune and it turned out awesome. The rifle was horrific pretune and seriously as accurate as my TX200 post tune. Nobody believes me but its true. Yes you need to gave great springer technique to wring all that potential from the BC. Hold is way more critical than with my heavier rifles but potential is there. Weighting the rear stock when you stuff it helps but the barrel still is too ligh. Because you can't shroud it weighting the front of the stock helps
