The Schofield revolver can now be used with pellet cartridges. It still has a smooth bore for BB's though and the maker resists requests for a rifled bore. 

What's accuracy like with pellet or BB? 

My old Benjamin pellet pistols will hit a coffee can at 50 yds 100% of the time. 

My old Healthways Plainsman BB pistol with its smoothbore will hit 50%, despite an awful DA trigger and crude sights. Impressive!

My Remington M1911 BB pistol has a hard time with a soup can at 10 yds, but I like it for its authenticity.

So how does the Schofield stack up?

BB Pelltetier went pretty in depth with one.

Thx. Off the top of my head and not referring to my large airgun notebook, BB accuracy is commensurate with my Healthways and better than my RAC1911. I wonder how the pellet cartridges fare? 

I'm quite happy with mine. I filed the rear sight notch just a hair wider and hit it with some alumablack, and it's probably my most accurate bb pistol. About a 90%  hit rate  on  1"x2" fir cones  out to about  20 yards. The black bb's seem to shoot the best of the three types I tried, I'm really temped to use a pin reamer to open up six of the cartridges to take pellets.
