After purchasing this rifle from you & then watching this video, i have now ordered some barracuda 8's 😆👍🏻 had some success with QYS streamlined and also H&N field trophys but it looks like it definitely loves those barracuda 8's, great video. 🙌🏻
WHAT A PELLET FUSSY GUN...i thought the BSA DEFIANT would be AN ACCURATE GUN WITH ITS LEGENDARY COLD HAMMER FORGED BARREL?( i'm a GAMO man myself, PHOX IN.22/VENARI IN .177 BOTH ARE LIKE A LASER AT ALL RANGES UPTO 60 YARDS /METERS)
I think it's the rifle you have. Mine is not pellet fussy at all, and easily shoots every pellet you have on test, 10mm groups at 35 yards! I was a bit concerned watching you shoot, as it looked like the end of the barrel was in contact with the V rest? Any contact there will make a huge difference. Try resting the air cylinder in your hand instead of directly on the V rest.
Not withstanding the accuracy issues, from the offset, and before it was released to the public, 8 shouldered it at the BSS, was some years ago now, I said to my Mrs that this ( the defiant ) would be a sales flop for BSA, the competition at the time was bulpups like the FX WILDCAT, Brocock compato, bantam then after that the Dreamline Bullpup, not to mention descent rifles from Asia at quarter of the price, OK the build quality wasn't as good, but they were lighter, and just as accurate.. Yeah, the BSA Defiant, a flop ..
As long as it works for you it dont matter what anyone elses opinion is.....enjoy
Yes was a strange one i can only put it down to barrel length

Give them a go its one thing you get from the pellet test it elliminates what does and does not work
@@rcontour definitely, much appreciated. The defiant is definitely marmite amongst the shooting community. But I bloody love it 👍🏻
