Well, if you ask me, you won't be sorry you did. Got my steroid 392 last Friday...what a hoot to shoot ! Get the extended billet by all means...helps for these older shoulders. I have no trouble going the whole 14 pumps...clocking 780 avg with RWS Domes and HP's...705 avg with Crows...these nbrs seem to be going up too. I've just about completed all the strings of 10 shot groups at each power level from 3-14 for the pellets I've got on hand. It interesting to see what velocity level suits the pellet....like having a dozen different springers with one trigger LOL LOL. Gotta get some new glasses tho!
