Does your new RWS have the scope mount stop indention on the top of the receiver so you can put a scope stop on it? If it does, add one if you don't have one on it. That will help sometimes if you are not using a one piece mount.
Also, that Exact Jumbo is one that I shoot as well... I found that the Air Arms pellet in the exact same size shoots more accurately. I discovered that by accident sort of... Was working with my 25 cal. PCP's and learned that the AA pellets are also made at the same factory as the JSB's (which most European pellets are), but the AA pellets have a tighter quality control... That seems to be enough to tighten my groups up even more over the JSB Exact Jumbo's... If you can find some Beeman's Silver Bears in .22 cal. they would be worth a try too... they're heavy. Just don't remember exact weight. That's my go-to for the 177 cal. those or the silver streaks...Last edited by SaltwaterSlick; 10-25-2022, 01:18 PM.

If you get a break barrel, do a bit of Googling on the Artillery Hold. My RWS 45 .177 is very sensitive to how I hold it. You have to let it free recoil at the shot and stay consistent with your hold shot to shot. That's why I bought a .25 Marauder and rarely shoot the RWS.

VERY GOOD POINT for all break-barrel guns whether spring piston or nitrogen/gas piston!!
The more powerful, larger caliber, the more important the hold is... IF you grip the fore end, you'll never be able to shoot accurately consistently with a break-barrel gun... Lay the fore end in the flat palm of your hand or shoot off bags. They do not do well with a tripod mount or something like a caldwell deadshot field pod if you tie that front end down. It's got to "bounce" freely.

Lots of people don't like them but I have a Gamo .177 that I've had for years and it's deadly to 40 yards even on small chee chee size targets. It shoots pellet on pellet at 25yds. The only thing wrong is it is loud. Like 22 long loud. I threaded the barrel and put my DonnyFL moderator off the FX PCP on it and it's still loud. Pellets are braking the sound barrier I suppose?

Slick what scope would you recommend for a break barrel .22?
It's for my son and he wants one that has a good amount of zoom. Don't mind spending a little more as long as it is quality.
OP sorry for the derail.
