[CORKY.]

It's only just arrived at my door, yes it's another hassle free import, and I don't have a scope or weaver mount for it, so just first impressions from a short play. Fills with air very neatly with the supplied ARTICULATED swivel whip, shouldn't get any kinks in this one, and its a couple of inches longer than normal. The air cylinder has a rotating cover over the fill port, just rotate to line up the holes and plug in, no hassle. I guess the supplied whip includes an air flow restrictor, it filled slowly to 220 bar, which is all I had in the main tank. The manometer on the front of the cylinder matched the reading of the main tank. Safety is just in front of the trigger, a robust slider, and like most of the gun, easily accessible with the stock removed. There is also a slider on the right, just in front of the magazine, which , when moved rearward, moves a pin through the front of the magazine, and into the rotor, locking it in position. The Magazine (two supplied) is made of some sort of plastic, the rotor is sprung, there is no O ring pellet retainer. Push the pellets into the rotor, and rotate against spring pressure, until you get to the last one , eleven in my case, it's .22. Release the rotor and the spring lightly aligns the first pellet with the barrel, and stops the rotor rotating any further. When the pellet has been fired, and the bolt pulled back, the rotor, now temporarily without a pellet lined up, is spring fed round to the next pellet, where it stops, aligned with the barrel. Beautifully simple, and no indexing or aligning to worry about. The magazine has a notch in the left side near the top, which engages in a substantial metal bar that runs lengthwise along the left top of the breech, the magazine then simply located on the bar and swivelled into position and is held by a sprung ball bearing. Providing the bolt is back, there are no other pins or releases or locks for the magazine. The stock is held on by a long bolt through the pistol grip, and a short one to the forend. With the action exposed the trigger sears can be seen through cut outs, and when adjustments are made, you can see exactly what is happening. During my test shots I never noticed the trigger action, it obviously suited me. First impression, fantastic, light, well designed and built, sturdy, and just love the ambi bolt above the trigger, not hidden under my ear. Another personal favourite is that the magazine is within the profile of the gun, not sticking up above the action
