advertised at 560 fps in .177 (so probably high 400's in reality)

advertised at 420 fps in .22 (so probably high 300's in reality)


Something to consider before pushing the  buy button....

It does look very nice indeed,  I do like the idea of a reinforced lever system, not sure what that means, I wonder if it has a bolt safety lock like the QB-57 ?  . I sent my b3-1's back because the lever system didn't feel secure or  like it was catching properly . I was worried about losing a finger everytime I loaded a pellet , may have been all in my mind and the cheap price point, I really did like the gun and accuracy ...but it was just not enjoyable for me:(

The B3's all had a anti bear trap safety I would think this one has one too, I don't remember  what the B3's I used to have chronyed at. But the under arm (cocking arm) looks just like the TF97 arm I liked the arm lockup on the TF97 I had , and the stock looks good planty of wood to re carve and make better,  I didn't see any trigger safety so maybe it doesn't have one the old B3's didn't have any safety.Howie

Hi Howie. I have a B3-345 and it looks much nicer to me than my B3-2. My barrel is bent slightly and was difficult to sight/scope in. The butt pad is plastic instead of rubber, but the stock is much nicer looking overall. The cocking linkage is roughly finished and scrapes on a plastic shim inside the stock. The linkage also binds with the stock at times so I removed some wood from mine. The cocking arm is redesigned and locks up nicely when you snap it back. There is no safety. I think my gun shots around 650fps with 7gn wadcutters. One ragged hole from 10m after about 75-100 shots through.
