Absoloutely.
Dont forget that until some of the electronic daystates came along these rifles were winning a lot of comps.
AA tend to evolve, so what has gone before has been improved on.
No rifle is perfect, but the cheapest PCP I ever owned was a 410k, and it was the most reliable, only being beaten in the consistency states by the HW100.
My Daystate Huntsman was never up to much and never compared with either.
PS...Bottle, Bottle, Bottle, Bottle....get the point??;-)
