    Yeah, i think so. It doesn't say Marksman 2004 or 2006 on the side.

    Nice pistol you have there.

    I'd recommend buying the physically smallest red dot sight. One of the single lens type and mount it as far forward to allow you to cock the pistol comfortably.

    Good luck, Phil

    Thats what I did with mine, I got a nice small tasco red dot off #### which I mounted at the front leaving a hand width at the rear to cock it. Also if you mount it at the rear the continual open snap shut recoil is far worse than it is at the front where it pivots.

    Had the beeman down the range this morning. I didn't have any proper targets to set out at closer ranges, so i had to stick to bashing tins. Everything seems spot on so far though. The gun was running around 2.5 to 2.6 ft/lbs and did a very consistent 407 to 410 fps over 10 shots through the chrono.

    It seems to hit harder than my Colt too.

    Have a 2x32 Rhino scope with Hawke twin screw mounts to spread the load on my HW40,

    Could you fit a red dot like that?

    I find the scope way better

    If it is the 2004E it is awkward to cock with sights on, even more so if you had a pressure pad laser sight as you would need to have the pad in an area that would not be to your liking, as you are lifting the cocking system up.When new they take some force to cock at the best of times but soon wear in.Great fun though but pellet fussy.
