Theres 2 rifles

basically i wnat a hard fast hitting .22 cal springer
so i can choose between the xisico b4, or the b7

what ones better?

i wanted to swap in a new spring and whatever else i need to do, i was probly going to use iron sights, but maybe i would stick on a small scope too.

I just happened to have both of those rifles in .22cal. My B4-2 that is stock other than some smoothing and lubing will do 490ish with JSB's, while the B7 with the same smoothing and lubing does best with 14.2? gr Gamo match at 495ish fps. They are both pretty accurate for what they are, but the B7 has the better sight set up(windage and elevation thumb wheels on the rear sight)aswell as scope groves machined into the reciever. The B4-2 has an elevation only rear sight, the windage is adjusted in the front sight. Another quirk the B4-2 has is the scope rail, it is only attatched by a spring clamp at the back and by a small bolt at the front so it needs to be epoxied or gooped down to stay in one place if you want to scope it. The B4 has a farely heavy trigger pull but its workable, and the reach to the trigger is a bit of an issue to people with smaller hands. The B7's trigger is lighter but is just as creepy as the B4's. I've enjoyed mine alot both by shooting them and tinkering with them, both are a decent value. HTH,
